thebiglemon Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Looked at the table Dumbarton have only scored 6 goals all season!!! but have 3 wins and 4 draws...impressive in a very negative way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotterJag Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 As you might expect from the 3rd Division in Scotland, it's a pretty poor league. We don't appear to be covering ourselves in much glory but that late goal might just be the one that's gets us a play-off place and maybe even promoted. I don't give an f about how unlucky EF think they were. We've been done by far too many late goals, so let's just make the most of this one. For the moment, I'll give the management team the benefit of the doubt and am hopeful we could still get second place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ender Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Not good enough. Poor poor first half. Looked like a schoolyard kick about with 20 guys chasing the ball. No cover in defence, silly mistakes, heart stopping moments of ineptitude. Up front there's no one to just toe poke the ball in through a crowded penalty area. Some total sitters missed. Poor quality football.Who would ever have thought a 2-2 draw with a last minute equaliser could be un-entertaining?

Hahahahaha It might seem a strange comment to make but I've long since accepted how poor we are. We don't have many good players but it would be crazy if we did, because of the league we're in. If we somehow get ourselves out of this mess and get up this year, I'm pretty sure this management team would do better with the improved team that we surely need. This mob wouldn't last two minutes in the Championship regardless of the manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you give them the benefit of the doubt... how much more evidence is needed? A full time squad that cannot beat part time teams sone of whom have played more games than us, including the opposition tonight who played extra time on Saturday... we huffed and puffed in that second half and we’re lucky to get a point.

Jimmy McD Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Talk about injustice .That was daylight robbery on our part tonight..If that had have happened to us at Firhill I think that I might have thrown myself in the canal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the squad the current management team have built - it’s shocking. Full of duds and players well past their prime. And you’d trust them to build a squad in a higher league? Last time they did that we got relegated. Time to face facts - the 3 of them should be sacked. Tonight. Pay them off in instalments - we did that before with a manager who didn’t have a clue and was sacked. Who was that again....?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger than we are. Living in the past (including the 1921 cup win never mind the “recent” one 50 years ago). No acknowledgement we’ve been overtaken by teams like Ross C, ICT, Livingston etc. Like any business that focuses on the past it’s doomed.

Arete Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I can understand the unhappiness with McColl and I think he is the wrong man for the job too. He got lucky with the last minute equaliser. But the issue is bigger than McColl. We are a club that has lost direction. From top six in Premier to being (almost) happy with a draw to get us to 5th place in League One. The club clearly lacks leadership and governance leading to poor decision making. We need to change more than just a manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle88 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I was happy when McCall got the job, he done a good job at Ayr United. I can see why a majority want him out now, If we are rotating the squad tonight was surely the right time to take Sena out of the starting 11 ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggled to get a draw against Forfar, Cove and now East Fife.

I still think we will get in the play offs and hope I'm not proven wrong. I agree we are still a poor outfit though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironfist Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Completely agree we are a poor team in a poor league. What is frustrating though is that after a good result away at airdrie we had the chance to build confidence and momentum against Forfar and we blew it. Confidence is key, but right now we have a lot of overpaid underperforming footballers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroyed in that first half once more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
