northernsoul Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 That today is a stark reminder of why we were relegated last season and why we won't be going up this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Before the game Michael Max commented that "We can't rely on goals from Brian Graham". How true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anniesland Jag Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 21 shots for Jags ,5 on target.Dumbarton I shot with nothing on target....Graham seemed come alive at end but really should have bagged at least 2 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anniesland Jag Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I’ve rarely seen such a one sided game end up like this ....we really are world beaters at snatching headbanging frustration from the jaws of victory . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Gekantawa Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Unlike most, I saw enough there to give me more confidence for the rest of the season. We are improving game on game in terms of performance and now have a solid looking back 5 (four successive clean sheets). Obviously don’t score enough, but play like that (and get some forward players back as we are missing a few) and we should be in with a shout (possibly through the playoffs if Falkirk don’t slip up enough) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG1970 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 2 points thrown away. Sitters missed in first half, could have been 4 up. Delivery in the second half was poor, no composure. Need to improve that quickly and if the injured forward players are not coming back soon we need to look at the transfer window to get another option in. That assumes we win some games this month to keep us in the top 4. Can’t see us catching Falkirk with the available players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been the story of our season. We are extremely predictable in how we attack, given we have next to no pace in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front to back we look a very solid and decent team. Bannigan and Docherty are really starting to gel in midfield. Penrice looks a lot better in midfield and Senna, Brownlie and Foster had a very comfortable game. Our inability to convert today was really down to not having someone up front closer to Graham. Murray was out of sorts and not reall in the game. Cardle had a good game but most of his work was outsided the box. Williamson got into really good positions but his normal good delivery to the far post was all over the place today. We needed a second striker today in a game that was pretty much played in and round Dumbartons 18 yard box. We will play a lot worse and win comfortably.

ironfist Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Falkirk got the best player in the summer in Callum Morrison. Don’t know if we were in for him but if not....., it’s looking like a silly decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norgethistle Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 These are the teams we must be beating if we want to go up. Lack of goals (3 from 7 games we’ve failed to score, only twice we’ve score more than once) is very concerning. 21 shots is fine but only 5 on target including a spot kick isn’t great 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearchar Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 There was clearly nobody lurking in the box and few prepared to run into the box - until Gordon came on, after which he and Graham seemed to get in each other's way. Why do we insist on punting crosses into the middle of the box, then? (Not to mention the standard lower-league Scottish giant centre-back opposition.) Williamson only needs to work on one thing: making sure he can put a cross in with his left foot. That alone would make him unpredictable and threatening for any opposition defence. (The one-footedness is a wretched habit which coaching should break: all professionals should be equally capable with either foot - including Bannigan!)
