Glad to see it seems like Faz has stripped him of it. As I mentioned last season on numerous occasions, the Captain should be pulling us out of holes and galvanising the guys around him. Not saying Buchanan will do that but Carswell certainly didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Clarko_son and I spoke to [REDACTED] in the bar before one of the final league games and he was scouting for his employers [REDACTED] FC and he said jokingly "I'm here to figure out why Dumbarton concede so early", which we did about 5 minutes into the game. I saw him again yesterday and he said he could see from the warm-up exactly what was wrong with the team and why they concede lots of / early goals. When I asked him his opinion on Farrell he said "it's a professional conflict of interest so I'll just say nothing". Now, none of that is earth shattering info, and probably not a big shock, but for other coaches from similar clubs to be able to clearly see what the problems are and have such a low opinion of the Dumbarton manager's abilities (he made some other remarks too) really tells a tale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What specifically was the problem with the warm up out of curiosity? Was it the drills weren't correct to warm the body up properly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'm hearing we're trying out this 3/5 at the back that worked so well for us last season picking up 0 points. I don't think we need redacted conversations from the pub to work out that Farrell hasn't a clue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Some ridiculous comments on Twitter again after us going behind. On the above posts, Farrell and his coaching staff are WoSL standard, so that's hardly a shock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else it just confirms that what we, the untrained punters, felt, is shared by the trained community. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone other than the Dumbarton board and maybe half a dozen lunatics in the support feel that way. I’ll still support the team this season, but can’t see my view that the sooner Farrell leaves, the better, being changed.

I seem to remember those games being colossal tactical failures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Meh. Not arsed about friendlies, it’s just a fitness exercise at this stage. I’ve seen us draw with Celtic and draw with/beat other prem teams over the years. It means hee haw really. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the only logical reason to have kept him, but I just don’t buy that it would’ve cost much to bin him and that we couldn’t afford that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ach we still have a few guys carrying knocks and a squad heaving with trialists. It could’ve been a case of using that formation to slot folk in for fitness reasons/to cover injuries. On the subject of trialists, for anyone who was present did any of them look worth a deal? Any names put to faces etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
