No, he's scored 7 goals but scored them in 4 games. But okay
Without his goals in 3 of the games we’d be 7 points worse off. Sitting bottom.
He’s saved us with his goals. What a striker is meant to do. Yet he gets constantly ridiculed it’s bonkers. Same with Aitken last season. I’d take a goal scorer over someone who ‘ runs about ‘ every day of the week.

Will be interesting to see if there’s any contract extensions made over the next week or so now that safety has been secured.

Great cameo from Tyler again today, some lovely flicks & passes, when he came on we actually looked a threatening side, he was unlucky with his chance, not really sure what happened there
Rusty at the double again, mental Skelly’s been getting game time ahead of him.

The big man Rusty to the rescue yet again.. yet ridiculed week in week out.

Is that muppet still in charge?

Take my hat off to anyone making the trip to Peterhead on Saturday, I couldn’t think of anything worse on recent showings.

Imagine watching that game of Saturday and thinking it deserved to be anything other than a Dumbarton win. Ray has his head in the clouds, has done for about a year now. Came in and made us better last season for about 8 weeks then we completely fell away again, should have really made play offs last season. Might still make play offs this season but not the play offs that we’d of hoped

Aitken has played his entire career to date in leagues 1 & 2. Skelly has spent the previous few seasons in the juniors. Hardly a fair comparison. Also Matty has essentially done a carbon copy of our 21-22 season. Scored a bunch until the new year. He has 2 goals in 4 months now.
the original point is that the blame should solely fall at the managers feet.
Skelly by all accounts was the 4th choice striker on the shopping list.
Let’s not forget Skelly hasn’t only been a junior player all his career…
im not saying that Aitken would be the answer either, just stating that the stick he got was mental. But I’d have him up front ahead of the options we do have in a heartbeat.

Would you not keep Nditi?
Nah, he’s far too erratic of a defender. Just my personal opinion. I think defensively he’s too much of a liability, he gets caught out of position far too much, going forward he’s a little bit better but i just don’t think he’s good enough.

Anyone who believed Skelly was going to score plenty of goals (there were a few btw) when he signed needs sectioned.
Cannot fault Josh's efforts, but he's just not a league player, nothing wrong with that. Absolutely everything wrong with McKinnon bringing him in as the #9.
Imagine the stick Aitken would be getting if that was him every week…
look at what he’s went on to achieve.. the amount of stick Aitken got was absolutely mental.

Let’s be honest the teams just not good enough. That’s the bottom line, McKinnon tried to ‘ local lads ‘ approach & it’s backfired dramatically.
we have just three players signed up for next season in Marc McCallum, Matty Allan & Russell McLean.
The only other players I would want us to keep would beAdam Hutchinson(been very solid all season)
Mark Whatley(how Robson gets a game ahead of him every week is mystifying)
Craig Thomson(although recent performances haven’t been great, he’s clearly lacking confidence)
Stuart Morrison(arguably been our best player this season)
Andy Munro( keep him as back up, he has been pretty solid this season)
Daniel Scally (deserves a chance to gain full fitness and get a decent run in the side, if we can get a manager that’s willing to attack)
The rest can go.

Cameron Ferguson signed for Forres Mechanic’s.
wonder if he can cut it in the highland league…

Moore’s had a handful of decent games in four years at the club, was amazed he signed again at the start of the season.
another player moving on that’s just not good enough.

15 draws now. Without any doubt the most boring season I’ve ever witnessed following Forfar.
Just going by the lack of enthusiasm on here, shows I’m not alone in my opinion.An absolute nothing season, things need to improve next season.
Anyone there yesterday? Same old?
Same old yesterday. So boring to watch.

14 draws in the league this season is absolutely wild.
7 0-0’s., combined with the second least goals scored in the league & the third least goals conceded, it’s no wonder we’re all bored out of our minds.
if only we had a manager that wanted to attack, we’d maybe actually score some goals & win some games….

Morrison’s goals have earned us 4 points…
7 points if you include him & Mclean scoring in the 2-0 victory at Clyde.
so we can add another 3 points to McLean’s as I was talking about sole goals to earn us points.
I’m not saying McLean is criticism free, far from it!
also 3 of they other 7 games. He made a 2, 10 & 14 minute substitute cameo appearances……
I Just think he deserves a bit more credit than he gets. I’m happy with him for another year. If we can get the service to him like today, he will score…. That’ll do me.
