Fourth
Posted in Dumbarton FC at 7:10 pm on 28 March 2009
From second to fourth without kicking a ball. Not quite the worst case scenario – Forfar and Annan both winning both their games this week would have seen that. As it is, they both dropped points in midweek and today the Shire got a last minute winner at Berwick while Forfar lost their derby to Montrose.
It’s tight, though. Too tight. Only six points between second and seventh; ten between third and ninth! Everybody but Elgin could still achieve a play-off place.
On Tuesday night we could be as low as sixth. (Or we could have reclaimed second spot.) Hope you have long fingernails, folks.
Either way, the game at Stenny on Saturday is huge and we don’t do well at Ochilview…
Then there is the final game in hand at Forfar. Nerves will be shredded.

Despite a good position we’re not a great side.
In recent weeks we’ve not even been a good side.
Maybe Forfar’s result yesterday though emphasises that all the third division sides are operating at a similar degree of mediocrity and unpredictability

Agree Rab.
Tonight at Elgin is a big game. A very big game and one we must win.
Good move by the Club to try and encourage fans to back the team for the remaining away trips ; hopefully fans will respond.
Of course, victory tonight would help set up a decent support for Saturday’s trip to Ochilview.
