A Son of the Rock

The Rock, 22/11/08

Have we been found out?

Things are no longer looking so good. It feels like a long time since we had a win.

Our lack of clean sheets is costing us. That and the fact that (judging by the personnel) we seemed to be playing 4-2-4 again. It is rare for a footballing team to escape from Div 3 – though we did manage it last time – but rarer still if you neglect to shore up the midfield.

Is it a coincidence that the game at Montrose, where both Stevie Murray and Derek Carcary were missing and Chissie and Cusack were playing like orthodox midfielders, was the best Dumbarton display I’ve seen this season? I only ask.

After these last two results I now fear a gubbing in the Cup up at Dingwall next week.

Not only that: at the end of our next league game we could have lost touch with third place.

But it’s at Cowden, so I suppose I’ll be there.
