MATCH PREVIEW: ALLOA ATHLETIC VS DUMBARTON
Dumbarton make the short journey to the Indodrill Stadium tomorrow afternoon where Alloa Athletic await for a League One fixture [kick-off 3:00pm].
Sons picked up another well-deserved point last weekend with a 0-0 draw against Queen of the South, however the result did confirm the clubs relegation to League Two.
The Wasps will be looking to get back to winning ways themselves having not won in their last three games as they look to take a tighter grip on the final promotion play-off spot in League One.
The sides are familiar with each other having already met four times this season, with Dumbarton yet to be defeated by Andy Graham’s men.
The points have been shared in all three leagues games – 3-3, 2-2 and 1-1 – whilst Sons were 3-2 winners in the Scottish Cup in November.
Boss Stevie Farrell admits it has been a season like no other but believes there are positives to take.
He said: “We’ve competed in every game there has been – with the exception of the Annan game – and if we had our 15 points back and were fighting for points then I think any reasonable person would agree that we would have more points than we have just now.
“We’ve given eight players their league debut this season and for a club like Dumbarton that’s important, when I came in there was no pathway at all and this season we’ve given an opportunity to eight kids under-18 their debut.
“At the end of the season the group deserves massive credit, they have continued to apply themselves magnificently.
“It’s been a really difficult season but we are competing well with League One teams. There are chutes of positives that we need to embrace.”
