I thought we did not bad today. Only late on did cove put us under pressure and that’s not surprising. great goal and we were a wee bit more open than recent weeks.

I agree with a lot of the comments about how we are to watch. if we attacked more it would be better to watch and I’m sure we’d get results a bit like the first Ian Murray season. probjem is the players we have. Are they able to provide this. let’s wait and see what the run of home games brings us in terms of both results and performance . Improvement in both needed

Add to that we would need to pay Duffy off so I tend to agree only if things got worse . still not confident we will have funds to bring much in come January

I think we would want to keep frizzell as it he had been most likely so far. in addition only a spfl loan like a Chris Kane type in my opinion will be a better option. unlikeky to be anyone good enough at a price for us sitting about doing nothing.

Fair point wilf. We now have a run of home games and a squad almost free of injury so Let’s see where we are in a month or so.

I didn’t watch today’s game as against one of the so called bigger teams I thought it would be backs to wall. it appears that was the case and in other games we certainly lack creativity. with the finance issues I can see where we can bring anyone in come January so I do t get involved in suggesting what we need. We all know but we won’t get . I wonder fitness prevailing if crossan frizzell and Wilson is a better option provided we can get ball to them ?? I’ll probably watch next week as I’ve never seen cove but not expecting much better. Let’s also see where we are at year end after a run of home games

Decent point I suppose. In terms of attacking play we are what we are.

Yes think I predicted this when the signing was announced. good luck to the lad and we live in hope that he had a future

I see on game thread comments about needing money to boost squad. clearly an issue is our inability to score even in defeat. based on this thread my view is unless we get a Colin weir type lottery winner , it’s gonna be a long road current investment from fund raising only keeps the bills just about ticking coukd be we are lucky Forfar are poor too. Don’t see much change in squad cone january. Agree completely with bbpf views on squad building

Interesting story on club site about young goalie. never one to dismiss development of youth but can’t help but wonder where this is going with no sub goalie yesterday. will he make the bench Tuesday best wishes to the lad.

My issue wilf goes back to earlier in year and is continuing. We are no threat and rarely look like scoring. Defensively we are sound enough but 4 goals in 5 games is poor and even looking at chances created -also lacking.

Watching Scotland and Dumbarton in last week. Even when playing ok and arguably the better team both are toothless and lack creativity.

Sorry big Ryan but an illness is better than an injury. Feared the worst when he went off.

What injury did mcgeever suffer today.

I’ve never been a fan of format but that’s cause Dumbarton struggle in it. I can’t recall any league cup game we haven’t struggled in . Other teams seem to make a fist of it against higher level we don’t

Thought frizzell good in first half but punted out of play after. TBH disappointed with Hamilton although in his defence he was out of his natural position . Wilson did ok and thought Forbes got better when playing central . I expect more from Johnstone -hopefully a fitness thing

Pictures sound good in second half but not in first . Sound behind play and staggered picture . Good to see east fife acknowledge that

Neither side really shone in this one. Thought we could have chased game a bit more late on?? Changes kind of put frizzell out of game which was a pity

Oh and update on Denny Johnstone please x

Any news on the goalkeeper injuries . Worrying with a game on Tuesday?? Cmon jan do your stuff

Most encouraging. Thought smith did very well today.2 centre backs and of course Wilson. Didn’t really expect much so that’s a bonus.

Lorenzo on other thread suggested we are short of a couple of decent midfielders. Whilst not disagreeing would have thought with 18 we might be just about at the max we can budget. add to that level we are getting is probably short of what we would like but we just hope we get lucky with one or two of them.

I only saw second half and thought we were the better team but I don’t remember a decent attempt at goal. agree could be team 9/10 in the league

Sorry oki just feel with the exception of mcniff we should have got more out these guys . and what we’ve got at moment is short . Hopefully just the usual league cup

Question would we have been happy if sons went for Lang, mcniff, Johnston, shields all ex players who played better today than any sons players save Hamilton. Quito go was better after Johnston went off
