A Son of the Rock

Scottish Challenge Cup,* The moreroom.com Stadium,** 23/8/22.

Embarrassment. Total embarrassment.

Okay it may not have been our strongest eleven but this was against what is in effect a youth team. I also think it might be the worst Sons defeat I can remember. That is not good enough. (Edited to add; it’s actually the joint worst. I must have blanked that out.)

I must admit our utterly abysmal record in this competition had slipped my mind (we have only got past its first round twice I think) but I certainly ddin’t expect this humiliation. To say I’m disgruntled would be an understatement.

All the feel good factor from four league wins in a row has evaporated.

Given our season fell apart last year after a less emphatic defeat than this – the 5-0 drubbing up at Peterhead, even though that was in the league – I now have the fear for Saturday.

*Now named the SPFL Trust Trophy.

**aka The Rock, but this was technically an away game, so we’ll give it its sponsored name.
