microdave Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 The final game of 2022 as the bottom club host the top club. What could possibly go wrong? Discuss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamCarson Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I have the fear about this one, Rovers shouldn't be bottom of the league from what I saw at the Rock last time out. Sons supporters will be there in decent numbers too. Mon the Sons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not bothered by our performance, a win will make me happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Just the 20 points and 21 goals separating us. Away win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I’ll be very surprised if this isn’t a much sterner test than Saturday. We’ve struggled in the previous two games against them this season, don’t see there being much in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 It would be nice to show our true ability vs Albion at some point this season after 2 below par performances this season. Think I'll make it along on Saturday and then be heading straight to my gig afterwards. If we play with the confidence we've had recently then we should have enough. The pitch could be a bit of a leveller depending on its condition though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeezebox-son Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 A lot of flooding around Dumbarton, the surrounding areas and parts of Glasgow this morning after a very wet night. Is the pitch likely to hold up okay? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Aron Lynas out tomorrow is a bit of a blow. He's been absolutely superb this season. Hopefully he's fit for the Stirling Albion game next week. Leaves Faz with a bit of a dilemma too. Will he chuck Edin Lynch in for a first start since April against Charlie Reilly? Will he move Carsy to right-back and bring Ryan McGeever in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Chilly one today. Big blow having Lynas out. He and Orsi looked tremendous down the right. I’d say McNiff and Wylde down the left are the definite weak links. Very excited to finally see the theatre of dreams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely have no idea where all this stuff about McNiff being a weak link has come from. He’s been as solid as the rest of the defence this season and his height at the back and from set pieces is a real asset. I feel like because he isn’t a quick overlapping full back people think he’s bad. I think he suits the way we play perfectly. Can anyone actually provide any evidence of him turning in consistently poor performances? I remember him having a howler for one goal (against maybe Forfar at home?) and having a poor performance away at Stirling when the entire team were dreadful but other than that I’m struggling to remember anything that would mark him out as a weak link in the squad. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked solid enough defensively, but uncomfortable with the ball at his feet and doesn’t offer any attacking threat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo71 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 We should approach the game with enthusiasm but also caution.AR are a decent side and we should not be cocky as they will punish us.Lynas being out is a blow and i would imagine Lynch will come in.Didnt mcgeever play RB at some point in his career?Could be an option at a push might be wrong though. We really need Byrne back and another striker to give us options as right now any more injuries will leave us really exposed.RE: Mcniff ..he has been solid this year for the most part but his lack of pace if exploited is an obvious achilles heel.This hasnt happened very often this year and lets hope its not the case today.Looking forward to the game today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he looks more comfortable with the ball at his feet than Buchanan does (who 9 times out of 10 just blooters it up the park) and in terms of being an attacking threat - he’s not there to make marauding runs up the line and he provides plenty of threat from set pieces. If we had two full backs bombing up the park we’d be badly exposed at the back IMO. I just feel a lot of the criticism or singling out as being a weak link is hugely unfair on one of the guys who has been a consistently good performer for us since he signed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
