microdave Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Top of the table clash. A six pointer. A potential title decider. Call it what you will but I think we can all agree that this is the biggest game both sides have had this season. So far we've had the home team take the points so hopefully that will continue as we look to extend our lead at the top and maybe right the wrong of our performance at Forthbank. Discuss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Tell you what, you’ll not get us as poor as we were in the opening 10 minutes earlier in the season……but likewise, I doubt we’ll rip you apart and get you as poor as you were at Forthbank either. The game has everything that’s needed to be an absolute cracker and is the sort of game players will want to be involved in and fans want to see. Our Home attendance has nearly doubled this season, Dumbarton will hopefully see a big, noisy, Away support, cheering the lads on to victory on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC Boggs Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I predict somebody will win or it'll be a draw. That's as far as my predictions ever go. Both teams capable of good or bad performances on a given day. Dumbarton consistently capable of getting narrow wins out of difficult encounters, The Binos a bit more error prone, but usually dangerous going forward. Both teams enjoying a half way points total unseen for yonks. It could all rest on who gets the break of the ball on the day..... or not. Dumbarton very much in the driver's seat going in to it. It's good to be the kings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Kai Fotheringham hat trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 7 hours ago, Flybhoy said: Kai Fotheringham hat trick. I was just coming on to ask the Binos fans about him; I know it's the million dollar question, but is it looking like his deal will be extended - or is there a fear that he'll be recalled or even put on loan at a higher level? From the outside looking in, he's got a bit of experience at a higher level and 5 goals/11 assists shows he's probably too good for this level. But if I was him I think I'd want to stay, given it's the first time in his career he's been a vital player; and could lift a league title as the team's superstar come May. Spoiler Obviously I've spent the last month emailing Dundee United under fake names saying how good he's been, and urging him to be recalled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The RUMOURS are that he is happy at the club, that’s been mentioned by a number of supporters, and I have heard from 1 or 2 that he would like to see the season out. No idea if they are true, however most of these rumours have come after the players attended a Christmas event which Kai attended. The club, quite rightly, have been quiet on what is going on so all fans can do is speculate. My speculation is that Dundee United will be looking at him in the same way that Aberdeen were looking at Mason Hancock last season. He has proven to be “too good” for League 2 so I’m sure if there are opportunities to get him into the Championship then they would be keen to do that. I personally don’t see him making the jump to the SPL right away and I’m not totally sure if he is ready for that, but I think it would be interesting to see how he would do in the Championship. Kai was interviewed in the Courier a month or so ago, and said there that he was sent out on loan to develop and to basically assist and score more as it was an aspect of his game that United wanted him to work on, so I think it’s safe to say he is in the process of doing that. I think it’s a “no shit Sherlock” statement to say that Darren Young will be keen to keep him and I honestly think Kai should stay for now, as he is playing regular, seems happy and very much part of the squad and has a real chance of achieving something this season, along with bagging a few personal awards and probably won’t get that opportunity elsewhere…..but whether that’s enough for those at Dundee United, I suppose time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager did say in his last after match interview that he was seeking to get Kai's loan extended. Seeking and getting might be 2 different things though. Talented prospect for United for sure. Great attitude as well. Fingers, toes and eyebrows crossed on that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarko_son Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Potentially looking at no right back tomorrow which will be interesting, that being said if Lynas is 50/50 he strikes me as the type who would play through it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons Fan Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Little bit nervous for today. We are a solid team but still think we are missing in the striking department.

We are a solid team but still think we are missing in the striking department. Hopeful Love will take confidence in getting his goal last week. I feel the same. As solid as we’ve been thus far there have been too many games where the performance hasn’t really been there, and as hard as it is to complain when we’re still picking up points and sitting top of the league, I feel some or later it’ll catch up with. We don’t blow teams away and still lacking a bit of creativity up top. Looking forward to today though. Hopefully a good crowd in and a good competitive game. If Lynas is out that’s a big blow and presumably Carswell will go to FB and McGevver will come in at CH. Mon the Sons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsanorak Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Looking forward to it. Quite a hard team selection to make this week with Blair fit again and the reported uncertainty at right back. Robert Thomson and Carrick were given far too much space in the away game and they showed that they can beat us if we lose our shape and organisation. Hopefully we're more robust today and one goes in at the other end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
