lorenzo71 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Just now, Boghead ranter said: Considering our injuries, holding Stranraer to 3-2 is a great result. Extend the man's contract please, board. I agree.2 new players coming in cold , only 3 fit players on the bench,Andy Dowie played the whole 90 mins with an itchy thigh,Beany had a troublesome midgie bite on his pinkie,calum gallagher had a sore a rse from sitting on the bench for 25 months,brad spencer was horribly concussed when a stray crisp packet hit him square on the head during the warm-up and OLD SCROTUM flashing on the terrace reduced Robbie Mutch to a mumbling wreck. So all in all a great performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, that’s more valid than any excuse Aitken’s used in the last 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumbartonTheSons Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Another absolute disgrace.How many more complete horror shows are going to be accepted?Subs all wrong as usual, scoring twice away from home and again coming away with SFA.Dom Thomas was a positive but on the whole that was tragic.It's almost now as if Aitken is backed into a corner and has nowhere to go under his steam. It's not time for the board to act.ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 According to the Twitter it was a ‘battling performance’? Did they hit ‘t’ instead of ‘f’? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I like how they also slipped in ‘once again ravaged by injuries’ ‘Sons sit bottom of the Lowland League, but Stevie Aitken remains adamant the situation will improve once the injury crisis clears up’.

cedrick1 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 What a journey that was to be honest bearing in mind where we are at, I thought we did ok going forward, Thomas encouraging. defensively and the goals we lost were awful bbc stats show possession, shots and I don’t remember keeper havin a worthwhile save. i know dowie gets the flack for the goals but the rest have to cover up for any mistakes. Defend as a unit and I suppose when all’s said and done stevie shouldn’t survive our q1 performance regardless of injuries today reminded me of last season, played ok ,as good as opposition,lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's us now played every team and with the exception of Arbroath and Raith they appear much of a muchness.Considering that we have been literally hamstrung with injuries surely we are entitled to hope that a better situation will develop. Yes, we are ninth but we are not cut-off.The Manager's position will resolve itself one way or the other. The permutations are many; SA could remain and results could pick up, or we could continue to labour. The same could happen under a new guy.It's a waiting game and we need to treat every game as an opportunity to turn the corner. Comparisons with recent seasons are invalid - we can no longer live beyond our means as that almost took the club under, and Brabco won't invest a penny.Tough times.

Comparisons with recent seasons are invalid - we can no longer live beyond our means as that almost took the club under, and Brabco won't invest a penny.Tough times.They might be much of a muchness but in that 9 game spell we have managed 2 wins. The league table doesn't lie, we are currently unable to compete with the other sides in this league. I don't think comparisons with other seasons are invalid. Aitken has had a VERY healthy budget to work with and spent the best part of a year absolutely toiling. This seasons budget is easily top 4 in this league and I'd be astounded if the board were happy with anything less than that.It's time for John Steele to stop acting the nice guy and make the decision that needs to be made. If there are no funds to sack a man who should have gone in the summer, the board should be held accountable for that. They set the budget at the start of the season, not the previous board.
