The Moonster Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think we will do better against Morton who we have already beaten this season as being the home team they will attack us which suits Dumbarton style of play. We were in full control of the last game against Morton and cruised into a 3-0 lead before taking our foot off the gas. Up until Morton scored they'd barely put an attack together. I'm not sure where this counter attacking notion comes from - other than us leaving 3 up front at a corner, when else have we looked to attack quickly on the break? Hell of a lot of assumptions being made about the squads capability and style, all of it focussing on the negative as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Granted I missed the Alloa match but from the evidence of what I've seen so far this term our problems lie far more in putting the ball in the net rather than keeping it out. On that basis I can't say I'm too bothered what combination of defenders play and in what roles - they all seem fairly evenly matched. It's further forward where I'd be more concerned as no one's yet emerged from this group of players as a potential match winner. There's time yet though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Can't believe Taggart was dropped, Frazer Wright's past it at 36. Taggart must be gutted, at least he has pace and gets up the wing, he chips in with a goal or two as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it, Taggart, although a defender, contributes considerably to our attacking play. Therefore, him not being in the team, especially when replaced by Barr, hinders our ability to create chances and... Score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but are you saying you've been playing Darren Barr at right-back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

printer Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 •Replace Barr and Docherty at full-back with Taggart and Waters – the latter pair are defensively the formers’ equals but crucially they can get up and down the park •Now it gets tricky. Do we play Cawley and if so where ? . Going forward is one of Sparky's main strengths. In fact he's better in midfield than at full back IMO. Yes, you should play Cawley. He'll do a job wherever, but I like him through the middle - either up front or attacking midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yep, at least the lad has 'striker' on his CV. Now let's see if we can provide him with some ammunition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersons Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Aitken not messing about, could we see some more departures? Listened to his sons TV interview he was not best pleased on Saturday so hopefully we can find something for Saturday!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Sounds promising, but aitken did say it was unfair to expect a 19 year old to come in and turn a game, then signs one, does this mean mccallum will be dropped after creating a spark on Saturday? Are we not overdue a striker who can bang goals in, week in week out, that we can call our own? Everyone else seems to on a regular basis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
