The Elephant In The Rock

From what I heard, Nade was our joint highest earner on £800 p/w last season.

It's all about opinions but I personally feel more comfortable with Buchanan at the back than Barr.

As was mentioned before, it seemed like Aitken was just waiting until we lost a match to re-introduce Brown into the team in the hope he can justify his two year contract and presumably high wage. A similar case could be put up for Barr, who shouldn't be anywhere near our midfield and will probably undeservedly replace Buchanan at centre half in the coming games.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is what we went for but will be interesting to see how we line up if Lindsay is back in contention. I also wouldn't be against Kirkpatrick starting on the wing because I'm not sure Heh or Cawley would have much joy up against Kevin Holt.

Don't be absurd. It was solely down to Andy Graham.

Fail to understand these 'Andy Graham is past it' comments. He was our best player last year and is still a solid centre back. He had no preseason and was thrown right in to the deep end against Hibs where he had a cracking game bar his error. Would much rather have him in our line up than Wright or Barr.

A hardworking player who often goes unnoticed named Mark? Sounds familiar.

Whilst I agree with this to some extent, I do think that his dogged style of play masks a technically gifted player. His cross-field switches in particular are usually very precise, and he can beat a man and score from distance.

Very good signing going by his appearances against us - a player I really like.

Thanks Ian. Seen some great games and players under Murray's reign, but now I think is the right time for him to move on. Hopefully we bring in another young manager, and quickly.

Jack Ross would be my immediate choice but whether we would come is another question. If not then I'd be more than happy giving another player coming to end of his playing career a chance, after the success of Murray.

Any of the keepers.ETA: Always thought that Alex Whittle was a neat wee player, might be worth a punt.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Lee Mair and Mitch Megginson head over your way soon.

Grindlay and Coleman away. Turner signing for Hamilton Accies. http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=1853

The long awaited return of Kevin Smith?

I'd have Pat Walker on the bench, hardest working player I've seen in a Sons shirt.

Disappointed to see Linton go, would liked to have kept Archie and not at all disappointed Mitch is away. Hopefully we can replace them all with more quality, and not just SPL wasters.

Not quite sure how our manager and captain both think Aggy and Gils are in with a shout for PoTY yet some fans want them to be released. They are both very important players for us, and Murray and Graham's comments prove that.

Dreadful is a bit unfair but he's not great.

As much as I love Fleming, he is dreadful in the air.

Mair was dreadful against Rangers. He was schooled by Jon Daly.

Bumped into him a few months ago at a concert actually. Had the most awkward conversation ever due to the fact he thought I was a former team-mate of his.

The only time I can recall being angrier at a football match was Airdrie away a few years ago when Cammy MacDonald stamped on Bryan Prunty's head. Scumbag.

Exactly this. That guy's celebration was nothing but provocative and deserved all he got, and more. Total joke of a human. The sooner Rangers are gone the better. In the meantime, we just need to sit back, relax and do the talking on the park. In Murray we trust!

He looked pretty good further up as well for the short time he played there a few weeks back. Wouldn't be surprised to see him takes Vanzy's spot soon. Also wouldn't mind him starting over Megginson. ETA: Congrats on your 2000th post, Sonsteam.
