We're utterly tactically inept. We've nothing but swinging crosses in to the box. Absolutely grim. 

I wouldn't say it has been grim in an attacking sense but our defending has been woeful. Very fortunate not to have given away a penalty.

I would get Hendry on at half time, we are winning so many headers I think he could seriously trouble their defence

McCrorie off

Aye. Go 3-5-2

Move McRorie back, full backs up. He's not creative enough to be a midfielder.

Nothing sticking to Kamberi.  Not seeing it for him.  Rather try and get a tune out of Hornby.

Kamberi isn’t a “no9”

[DandyWarhol]

McCrorie needs dropped, has done for a while now.  Tbf he's not the only one.

For some reason I thought Kamberi was African

Bit of a contrast with the backdrop at each end of the ground!

Reminds me a bit of Sporting Braga's ground?.

[alscotoz]

Only saw 15 minutes....thank fuck

[davieb]

some of the positioning from corners is beyond amateur, nobody sitting further back beyond the far post.

[RedRichard]

Not that far off tbh but atm a case of Ramsbottom denying Sheepshaggers

[WesthillWanderersFC]

We need to speed up the passing a bit. Not easy on a horrible, bumpy pitch, but we need to. 

They've played 3 in a week. Run them around.

Hendry is pish, but I’d get him on for McCrorie & go old fashioned 4-4-2.

Chris Iwelumo is a fucking tank

 

Hoo mama

Horny today dad?

[Mr John]

Hayes is NOT a left back. That run from deep at the end, imagine if he was doing that from further up, with no worry of leaving space behind him?

[Zeus]

Ramsey has been good 

That's about it

Matter of time

Hopefully.

Rob McLean is doing my nut in

Is it just me, or is he willing Dumbarton to score? 
 

[sooth_stander]

Ross has been poor, as has Kamberi.

I’d give it 15 mins though. Just need to keep plugging away and hopefully we’ll get a break

Especially when we overhit 7/10 corners, with the other three underhit but flicked on ...to just beyond the back post

Tbf it's been a lot better than anything we've seen this year. On the other hand, it's against a side 2 divisions below us who are playing their 4th game in 7 days. 

And the defending has been woeful....we'd be 2 or 3 down if we were facing even the likes of St Johnstone

Aye, reckon McLean is reading from  the BBC narrative which is for a cup shock

[Guest]

Ramsay looks decent. Would play him there for the rest of the season, why not. 
 

Trying something different when he's on the ball, few decent crosses.

Aye, McFadden as well. 

[The Gee Man]

Just no passion from the players, need more desire for the jersey

[AllyDon]

Ramsay looks good. Need to see more front Ross 2nd half. Been given a chance today so let's see more from him. 

How the fuck we haven't scored is beyond me. 

Surely we can do goals 2nd half?

On the evidence of what I've seen so far then definitely.

Disagree man. We've got far more talented players, yet negate that by reducing ourselves to swinging crosses in, a tactic that results in goals less than 1% of the time. 

Agree on the penalty though. Not sure what Lewis is thinking there.

McFadden definitely is. 

Let's face it, the bbc only chose this game because they thought there was a big chance of a giant killing 

[frankie_mac's_4]

It's a classic twitchy erse cup tie. Our comedy defending is worrying as is our wasteful finishing. Dumbarton keeper is having some game like

[Andy_123]

McCrorie just needs to concentrate on breaking up play in the middle of the park.

He’s not good enough on the ball to contribute going forward most of the time.

We’re at least creating good chances here. We’ll surely take one eventually.

Rightly so, I said this morning 0-0 & penalties. 

Not the bravest prediction given the last few months.

Or because Premier Sports have the arse cheeks games sewn up. 

BBC also have QOS v Hibs on Mon night
