Jan Vojáček Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I did not see that coming tonight, but we were excellent. When was the last time we had nine shots on target to our opponent's one? Defensively superb, a threat going forward and Forbes the best player on the park. It's definitely not job done yet by any means, but we go into the second-leg in an a far better position than I feared we would. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sons will surprise you when you least suspect it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of B A R P Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Good to see Ross Forbes proving once again that an Actual Football Player can be towing a caravan and still make the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Right, normal service is resumed and I’m now back to worrying how we’ll somehow mess this up on Thursday. I really hope we play to win and not for a 0-0. Edited May 18, 2021 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a deep breath. Dumbarton were comfortably the better team last night and notably minus 3 of the best players in our squad. Anything less than victory on Thursday night would be an utter abomination. It's been pointed out earlier in the thread but the difference in standard between Stranraer/Edinburgh City compared to Clyde/Dumbarton is quite remarkable on these showings. We've only ourselves to blame if we f**k it up now. Kudos to Ross Forbes for finally showing up last night. Looked like he was enjoying it as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMonc Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Going by Naysmith’s interview with the EEN it sounds like we’ll try and keep it tight on Thursday, hoping we nick a goal and Dumbarton lose the heid. I think there’s merit in staying in a game and not being reckless but considering we made a team that have scored about 5 goals all season look like Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle I’d have my doubts about our ability to execute that tactic. Duffy deserves credit for letting Thomson have the ball (knowing he’s not going to go past anyone) and blocking his switch out left (which he did once to good effect) meaning he spent most of the evening curling deep crosses onto Dumbarton’s centre back’s massive heads. Can’t imagine they’ll have had an easier game all season. Thursday will be the last we see of a few players - Liams Brown and Henderson deserve a higher level than L2 and will get it and Lee Hamilton and Thommo look like they’ll be upgraded. Josh Campbell has another year at Hibs and despite him not kicking a baw last night I’d hope we try and get him back on loan - he might have a different idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that'll work, we're not the type of team to be caught on the counter and I doubt we'll be throwing bodies forward. Duffy will lap it up if you sit in on Thursday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 If Gary thinks last night was in any way ugly I can't imagine how he's going to feel after a strong dose of Duffyball later this week. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Interesting that we’ve never lost an away game in the playoffs. In fact, we’ve only ever lost one game overall (albeit with disastrous consequences). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Think returning to Edinburgh has turned Gary into a an arrogant arsehole. Quite surprised to read his comments. I can't recall him ever being as uncomplimentary to the opposition when at us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
