Jordo1872 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm assuming you mean this season? No. Although I'll concede he had a positive impact on our promotion campaign. I'm not a fan of any player unwilling to track back and tackle though, especially wide players as it often leads to your full backs being left exposed. as often happened when Lamont played. A player I was never overly convinced with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player I was never overly convinced with. I have to agree, Lamont would blow away on a really windy day. He also appeals for a foul in every single battle for possession he's involved in which is quite irritating as he could just get on with it and win the ball back. He can put a great ball into the box, but just didn't cut it for me. Shame to see Creaney go, he's one of those players who gives 110% every game but just doesn't have the ability (Ian Chisholm anyone? ) I see Coult has been released by Cowden, I'd take him if Jimmy Lister leaves, he has always impressed me when I've seen him play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player I was never overly convinced with. That pretty much sums up my thoughts on him too. Looking at how much he was involved this season gives an indication of how much he'll be missed. Far from a good enough option for us at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'd rather have Grindlay up front than Lewis Coult. A big time Charlie who would only be a good player if his ability was a match for his ego. No thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersons Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Will be interesting to see who's kept on and who's let go. Personally I'd like us to Keep: Lister , Prunty, Gilhaney, Agnew, MacDougall, Turner , Graham, Lithgow, Grindlay, Ewings*, Fleming - I'm sure I've forgot someone here, and I can't for the life of me think who... Of those I'd like to keep Lister, Turner & Fleming are probably the most likely to end up offered something elsewhere Aside from that I'm not overly fussed. I'd consider keeping Lamont, provided he bulks up a bit and learns to tackle <_< There's no doubt where we need to strengthen, Our defence has been a problem all season, and we need to sign at least 3 Full-Backs. I'd take McGinn back in a heartbeat, that boys fantastic and destined for bigger things. Smith I'd take as well if he doesn't get a FT club. We need another CB as well, preferably one with a bit of pace. I'd consider another keeper if we can get another one in who's better than what we have (but thats doubtful) and in that instance I wouldn't keep *Ewings. We'll need another CM as we're a bit short in there although both this and CB depend on where Murray decides he should play. And likely another Winger and a Striker. 2 strikers if Lister goes , some of our fans are chanting for John Gemmill but I'm not convinced about him. Saying that I wasn't conviced about Lister when he signed either so whoever is signed is due a chance. Tonight should be quite interesting, anyone know if the twitter is doing updates? Gemmell was utter pish when he was at us before so why would we want him back, just so Shakey can renew his love affair with him Pee off beast 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWL Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Brilliant that Gils has signed. Different player under Murray. Up till Christmas I don't think he'd managed to go past his man once. Since the change he's been brilliant. A real threat going forward and working hard to track back. A good start to the rebuilding for next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Not unhappy about any of the players released. Good luck to both Creaney and Lamont, I'm sure they'll find clubs in the 2nd Division. Metcalfe is a weird one. He seemed to score a lot of goals for the reserves but never got a look in for the first team, who knows where he'll end up. Delighted Gils has signed on again. I'm sure someone said on here he's now played over 100 games for the Sons and he's been a cracking wee player for us. Now, just for Fleming, Turner, Chase, Agnew and Lister to put pen to paper... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonsism Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Lister and Prunty in today's Lennox Herald: Lister - "I'm looking forward to next season. I'm happy I where am." Prunty - "it's well known how much i enjoy playing for Dumbarton and I've already told the manager that i don't want to go anywhere else". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds promising, let's hope its not too long before both of them are signed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Nope. Expected all of those guys to be released. Hopefully we see some players signing up over the next few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Would take Nicoll in a heartbeat. McCusker really needs a positive pre season to get fit as he done nothing in his loan spell. Lyden would be a decent back up option as hes pretty versatile. Played centre half, right back and centre midfield for us and was fairly comfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWL Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Sad to see Nicholl go but no shock. Don't think he kicked a ball for us last year due to that injury/being loaned out? His utter butchery and dominance of Josh Falkingham in last years first leg play off remains a thing of beauty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
