Probably we have signed all the strikers we can at the moment, as Smith is more a worker and provider, we will struggle in that position, we shall see what today brings, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 He’s either ditched the 3-5-2 already or he’s playing Gabby McGill at centre-half. Love and hate that it could quite feasibly be either of those scenarios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Reed Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Decisions certainly didn't favour us, we're doing well until sending off. Early days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Couldn't believe when Murray subbed off Gal when McGill was clearly limping and struggling to keep up. We dominated when it was 11v11 and I thought McGill was superb so the result is really disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Just now, airdrieman said: I missed the game but, even with ten men, poor result to not be able to see it out from 2-0 up. I thought Murray taking off Easton was a strange one. Given that the one thing you want to do when you go down to 10 men is keep the ball it’s odd he took off our player who’s the best at doing that and our most creative player to boot. Why not take off Frizzell or a forward instead? I liked him at Dumbarton but Wardrop has been a liability for us so far. Got done for the penalty against Annan, most of Motherwell’s few chances came down his side, got rinsed by a man old enough to be his da at Palmerston and he’s got himself sent off today. Not good enough. Much better performance up until the sending off by the sounds of things. Hopefully we can keep that sort of standard up and not lose the heads when something goes against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to fault Murray today up to the subs given how well we played before the sending off but the subs didn’t help at all. Gallagher wasn’t really involved in the game but McGill was clearly done, a straight McGill for McGill swap to shore things up on the right hand side seemed the obvious option. Big game next week now, as although it’s early days no wins from our first three games would be very poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Given how poor we were last week this was at least an energetic performance until the Red card. At least we managed to pass the ball to each other and despite diamond tinted specs I thought we were coasting it till the Wardrop sending off. He or the Ref ( will need to see the highlights) but at the time I thought No 11 played for a foul) let Dumbarton back into the game. Well seen Dumbarton is near the submarine base with No 11's several dives. We lost composure with that 1st goal and it was kinda panic from then on. I don't know who miskicked it across the box (Smith?) but it was gutting. Taking Easton off was bizarre as usual with IM and Scott McGill up front while we were being overrun in midfield!!! I thought we'd do well to get a draw during the week so I should grin and bear that last 10 minutes. As others have said it was a panto type game and the absence of a free cup of water did not help. Good Curry mind you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big David Hutton vibes when he did that, reminded me of Hutton getting booked for storming halfway up the park against Raith in the 4-3 game after Iain Davidson headbutted Grant Gallagher off the ball. Quite funny when it’s your team, though I can see why it upset Dumbarton fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She who dares gins Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I think for me the overwhelming feeling after yesterday was how depressingly predicable it was that we’d throw the 2-0 away after the red card. We were by far the better team until then - work rate was excellent - and we didn’t need to see it out the way we did. We needed fresh legs much sooner and to hold onto the ball much better. You could argue Wardrop should have been subbed sooner, but I didn’t think it was second yellow and need to see it again. At 2-1 the writing was on the wall, it was only a matter of time and that is the worst bit of it for me. It should not be so predictable, but it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
