FifeSons Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Bryan Prunty is a mate of mines and he never wanted to leave Dumbarton,he tells me the club is run well and has a great team spirit running from top to bottom. Get him to ask Murray to play him upfront rather than midfield, please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Get him to ask Murray to play him upfront rather than midfield, please. He just wants to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Delighted with all re-signing, I think prunts is the type of guy who galvanises the team spirit,along with Andy Graham. And to me that is so important whether he plays much or not. Definitely a VIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That speaks volumes...especially from a player who hasn't been a first pick over the past year. P.S. I love the way Bryan Prunty celebrates with his ballboy son whenever he scores at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Say the club added ten quid on a year for the last six years fir a season ticket you wouldn't be moaning and it'd be seen as reasonable. For talks sake they added forty quid on this and dfc fans moan like f**k. Simmer down you're getting a great deal here. Increased fuel prices, the cost of a great management team and committed players isnt cheap. Price going up is justified 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Plus I hit a chubby when I seen prunty had signed for another year. He is a class act. Who said theres no loyalty in football anymore? In the day of one year deals and journeyman players jumping from club to club it's a delight to have two cracking servants sign on again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this post. Already knew this, but its nice to hear from a fan of another team. Cheers keithyg Its also testimony to the great work Alan Jardine and all the others at DFC have done to get Sons in our current position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elephant In The Rock Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Gils is a very clever player, he has good anticipation and links up well with the centre mids, strikers and particularly McGinn at right back. As Paul said at the awards night "he has a massive head but he makes my job so easy". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm pleased to see Gills and Prunts re-sign. I'm thinking that Murray is looking to keep most of the squad together with a few additions rather than any wholesale clear out. Some changes may be forced upon him and I'd agree that McGinn and Megginson look likely in this respect but who knows? Andy Graham is a huge player for us and I'm not just talking about physical stature. I'll be delighted to hear of him signing. Christ and Kirky are signed. I hope to hear soon that Aggie will sign to complete our midfield. TBH I'd have expected Garry Fleming to have signed before Prunts but I hope he does stay. The priority is a goalkeeper if rumours of Grindlay/Ewings* departures are true as well as a centre back** partner for big Andy. *Flynn of Cowdenbeath looked pretty good last night..... **Not sure if Marko has another season in him. Maybe Miller is the man? We all know Nish will re-sign..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Gils works his socks off even when he's not having the best of games. One of Sons' hardest working players and his commitment is there for all to see, glad he was offered a new deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rankine Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I love big Andy Graham for his commitment and enthusiasm. He's a true captain, very vocal, organising everyone around him. Unfortunately, he's not blessed with the greatest of pace and he's another year older. He led a defence which leaked goals last year, even with two excellent attacking full backs. Other than the games with Marko he had young, quick partners in central defence. My point is...who is to blame for our dreadful goals conceded? Would a better goalkeeper solve many of the problems - the defence being better organised and having confidence in the guy behind them. Assuming Paul McGinn departs is it time for a totally different back four? Should Andy move to right back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Andy is to blame for our goals against and he looked pretty good with Marko as he did with Barry. Surely pace is more something we'd look for in a right back than a centre half? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rankine Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 If a full back is beaten for pace you still have two covering centre halves to make amends and get a tackle in or deal with the crossed ball. When a centre half is out paced the striker has a clear run directly at goal. When Andy first signed for us he was used as a right back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rankine Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Wilf - out of interest, if Andy Graham is blameless for one of the worst goals against column...where do you pin the blame? Is it the goalkeepers? Is it the collective back four? Are our full backs so attack minded that their defensive duties suffer? Are we not defending as a team? Do the midfielders need to do more? Personally I thought the likes of Gilhaney, Fleming, Turner and Megginson tracked back reasonably well last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I thought the likes of Gilhaney, Fleming, Turner and Megginson tracked back reasonably well last year. Murray alluded to some of it at the Awards Dance when he said that the attacking philosophy does cost goals. Off the top of my head I can think of three goals when we were in the oppositon box only to immediately concede a goal - Cowden away, Raith home and QoS home. I could also find around 8-10 goals where the keepers were none too clever - two howlers at Cowden away and last day at Dundee for example. There are also times when the midfield is simply passed thro, so it's a combination of lots of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 No one is to blame, it's our style of play. Murray even said so himself at our poty bash. Are you expecting a cb who can outpace strikers? Pace doesn't make a huge difference with guys like Graham as their positional sense and reading of the game compensates. Long may our style of play continue. If it aint broke don't fix it (Scottish Cup QF & 5th in the Championship) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Last year we had 1 (ONE) 0-0 draw. One. I think that's great. You pay to see goals at a game, I doubt any football fan goes to a game thinking "I hope it's a 0-0 draw today". So long as we score more than we concede regularly, long may it continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
