v Dumbarton

Group E - Game Two

 

We face a midweek trip to Dumbarton Football Stadium for both clubs' second fixture in this seasons ViaPlay League Cup. Tuesday night at 7:45pm is the scheduled kick-off time for this group E fixture. Contrasting results in the opening games with Inverness easing past Bonnyrigg Rose 2-1 thanks to a stunning brace from Aaron Doran. A late header from Keiran McGachie gave the Rose the reward their endeavour deserved but it was Inverness that took the points. The Sons were hit with two late strikes from Airdrie in the last five minutes of their game. Nikolay Todorov and Lewis McGregor were the late saviours for the Diamonds at the Excelsior Stadium. In the other Group E game on Tuesday night, Bonnyrigg host Dundee at New Dundas Park.

Memory Lane: We eventually got the better of Dumbarton in the 2018 Challenge Cup Final at MacDiarmid Park in Perth. It took a late strike from Carl Tremarco in the 93rd minute to ensure the Cup came North after Dumbarton had coped well with our efforts for ninety minutes. Tremarco stole in at the back post to bury a low cross from a young substitute called Mackay. Daniel Mackay was that lad. Tom Walsh was in the Sons line-up that day and he went on to play for us over two spells until his unfortunate knee injury. Dimitris Froxylias the enigmatic Cypriot played in the final and he was capable of producing the unexpected. Stuart Carsewell played and David Wilson was an unused sub for the Sons that day. Mark Ridgers and Aaron Doran are our only survivors from that game.

Latest Team News

Inverness tinkered with their selection in the opening fixture against Bonnyrigg. Whilst the scoreline remained close throughout, we were fairly dominant and should have been out of site before the last minute goal for the Rose. Some things worked and other things need worked on. It's still basically pre-season for us so we will not know our most suitable team selection at present, but that will come with more game time. The weather did not help on Saturday as a couple of monsoons dampened the atmosphere, but hey ho, we got the points. One or two still to make an appearance so I'll leave it for Billy Dodds to sort out. Good to see Roddy MacGregor get some game time at the weekend.

Can Aaron Doran keep this up>>>

 

Dumbarton: What can we expect?

The Sons will be playing in League Two this season. They finished last season in second place behind Stirling Albion but failed to progress via the play-offs. They suffered a 6-0 defeat to Annan Athletic in their first leg game and that put paid to any hopes of promotion . The return leg was a no scoring draw. They lost 2-0 at Airdrie in their opening Group E fixture but it took two very late goals to win the game. Former Caley Jag Nikolay Todorov was on the scoresheet for Airdrie.

Steve Farrell had this starting XI against Airdrie

Long; Lynas, Durnan, Blair, Wilson, MacLean, Pignatiello, Hilton, Ruth, Crighton, Young

Subs: Broun; Wylde, R Wallace, Byrne, T Wallace, Vata

Pre-Season for Dumbarton

1 July 2023 Dumbarton 2 - 3 Hebburn Town (Hilton and MacLean with the goals)

4 July 2023 Dumbarton 0-3 St Mirren

8 July 2023 Workington 0-4 Dumbarton (MacLean, Blair, Byrne, Vata with the goals)

Has anyone bought a PPV streaming ticket for tonight?

Dumbarton's site won't let me register a new account.  It would appear to let me buy a ticket without an account - though I haven't actually gone through with buying one.  But then when you want to watch the match you have to log in using your account - the one I couldn't set up.

Anyone successfully navigated this maze?

I’ve just bought the stream. I’d read your post but decided to proceed without an account. It worked and I received an e-mail with a link to my new account at which I could set the password. You need to do that then ensure you are logged in to their site. All being well I will be able to watch the stream that is due to start at 1930.

Thanks, Robert - that looks at though it has worked.

I didn't get where I am today without letting other people risk their £10

I live being able to stream again. 

 

I hate the fact our club doesn't.

 

Oh no is it a pixalot camera and a bald linesman...

Dumbarton have had the best of the first 15 minutes. 

[Robert]

Goal disallowed for foul on the Dumbarton goalie. Looked the right decision. 

[Robert]

Dumbarton 1 up. Poor defending created chance for shot that beat Ridgers.

They’ve probably had the best of it. We are trying to play a passing game but it’s not coming off so far.

Hopefully that wakens us up.

[Robert]

Half time 1-0.

Pretty even but we can’t complain at being behind.

We’ve tried to play a passing game and some of its been quite neat but we have not managed to be clinical enough.

The Dumbarton ‘goalie has had a couple of saves and one was cleared off the line.

We need to do and should do better after the break.

We either need to put someone up with Mckay or play a proper no 10 in Doran or MacGregor. It’s not working with Carson in that role in my opinion.

[Robert]

Carson has hit the woodwork.

[Robert]

2-0. Cross into box and headed in. 

[Robert]

Now Duffy has hit the bar with a header from a Shaw free kick.

Doesn't look like it’s our night!

[Robert]

Brooks on for Gilmour. 

[Robert]

MacGregor on for Welsh. 

[Robert]

Doran, Bray and Nicolson on for Davidson, Samuels and Shaw.

Just before that, Samuels probably should have scored.

This is a very poor performance. A neutral would think they are the championship team

Agreed. The commentators keep saying how well we are playing!

Meantime we have a goal back. A record equalling one by Billy Mckay.

Thought we would do better than this!  mind it's just pre-season for us....

Bet Dodd's interview will contain the word 'disappointed'
