Hopefully anyway. It'd be nice to think the coaching staff have seen the limitations of a defensive based 4-1-4-1 and will try to be more adventurous going forward this season. I suppose we'll see. If it gets us away from turgid suck the life out of games football then aye , im all for 2 strikers. We should be there or thereabouts.Main threats at this point could be forfar, stenny and peterheid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 A rather worrying sign that the board are having no luck sourcing a sponsor for anything and are now giving commission out to fans in the hope anybody comes forward. Almost as if having dodgy owners damages your marketing potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I really don't know what any of this means. 5 percent of what? The sponsorship deal to the value of 1k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sponsorship deal is worth £1k then the supporter would get a £50 voucher or cash if the deal is over a grand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all had a wee chuckle at the Elgin situation but at least they have/had a connection to local business community. We'd bite a leg off for six figure sponsorship deal. A wee crowdfunder from the users of this thread?

"Sons sorrow (est 2012) Proud sponsors of Dumbarton FC" We did have good local business involved in the shape of C&G but left when the new owners came in. If the board had engaged properly with them they'd still be ploughing money in IMO. Their company is growing into other sectors and is only getting bigger. The commercial manager would need to be Jordan Belfort to convince folk to put money into a club being shadow run by a convicted criminal and with a board who has no interest in acknowledging that fact. I do not envy his job at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 On our style of play, it would be utterly criminal if we played Pignatiello at right back and didn't let him cross the half way line. Same on the other side, Young apparently has a decent delivery so I really feel we need a change in style this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you play Carlo in CM or as an attacking MF?RB surely belongs to Lynas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd play Carlo at right back, as that's his best position. We have too many central midfielders to try and accommodate him in there, Malcolm, Blair, Gray, two Wilsons and Hilton all want to play in those midfield berths. He's not going to play right midfield either because we have Orsi and Tony Wallace. It would be incredibly harsh on Lynas to drop him but the manager is paid to get the best team on the park and if that means Lynas waiting his turn for a while then it really is tough luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence to Lynas who was a fairly solid 6/7 out of 10 most weeks but I’d absolutely have Pig in at right back. It’s his best position IMO and Lynas is fairly limited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Carlo is probably both our best right-back and our best CM. So I'm also quite fascinated to see where he plays. I reckon he's probably more effective at right-back, but he needs to be allowed to get forward. I also like the idea of some Orsi/Pignatiello family link-up down the right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of questions over who plays where, we just need to hope Faz gets it right quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do stick with 4-5-1 i would imagine Hilton would play behind the striker either byrne or ruth.Could Wallace play on the left with Orsi on the right? Also in defence if Crighton is the bomb scare stenny fans are saying then maybe Lynas alongside Durnan with carlo and young as the fullbacks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
