addicksion Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Too late for a postponement (if that state ever exists at DFC) but not for an abandonment?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had a wee look through, this would be right. Fotheringham returned to his club in January, Burns was released and Hay went out on loan. All 3 were replaced by Spence, Duffy and Weir. There have been a number of times this season where we’ve not had a full bench or lads from the Development Squad have come in (which I’m all for) to train or to fill it, so yeah, this would be a fair reflection. Of our squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Important that we avoid a humiliating defeat but also absolutely critical we avoid further injuries. All about the playoffs for Dumbarton now - on the park at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Speaking of injuries, would it be fair to say Stirling have been quite fortunate on that front, this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb yatt Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Both teams are suffering from the jitters. DFC could have lost heavily to Annan. Stirling could have suffered at the feet of Hester. Our manager did comment on that fact. Re DY, don’t know if he has his CV pinned up in the dressing room. But Stirling players will be aware of his past record. The thought of umpteen cup finals and requiring something against AR at Cliftonhill. Please no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like we've had a few defenders in and out of the team, but I remember injury problems being much worse in previous seasons. Keeping Carrick and Thomson fit and playing in virtually every game has obviously been cruicial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Bring Back Paddy Flannery said: There’s no denying injuries to some key players have played a part but is our squad really all that much smaller than everyone else in the league? I’d have thought a squad of 20/21 is about standard for this level? I may well be wrong as I haven’t really delved into what other clubs have squad wise. Edited to add: the Stirling website only lists 19 players in their squad but I’m not entirely sure how accurate that is. Edited to add again: I found this on Transfer Markt (again may not be accurate) that suggests our squad is joint 3rd biggest with a whole host of teams operating with the same number of players as us… If 16 year old Vata is included in the 21 then yes. Add Gemmell. That takes us to 19 before the more recent injuries. And that's before you look at Eden Lynch being one of the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is fair, we've been blessed. As opposed to last season where we sure weren't. We suffered the same slump you have and it's no fun at all. It took a new manager to dig us out of the hole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vata I’ll give you considering he’s been bumped up to the snior squad to cover injuries but I’m not sure why you’d exclude Lynch or Gemmell. They were both signed/retained to be a part of Farrell’s first team squad this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've argued before that it was a risk worth taking, but clubs with the budget to build competitive squads don't sign guys like Lynch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a bit of good fortune eg the postponements around Christmas but the manager has played the squad well and the medical guys have been top class in managing injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve definitely been more fortunate than most but I wouldn’t say we’ve been completely void of injuries. Jack leitch was out for a good few months, Cummings has now been out for a few weeks now, Davidson was out for a while at the beginning of the season, Cooper has been fit for about a month this whole season and, not an injury but we lost out best player in Fotheringham in January. That being said, Paul McLean, Carrick, Thompson, McGeachie and Currie being fit for the majority of the season has been key 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
