Dumbarton vs Albion Rovers preview - Dumbarton out to end home misery
Posted Saturday, October 01, 2011 by PA
Dumbarton go in search of a first home league win of the season when Albion Rovers visit.
Manager Alan Adamson has spring a surprise by bringing in the experienced Jack Ross as a player-coach.
Striker David Winters has been ruled out through suspension and fellow frontman Pat Walker is expected to miss out due to an ankle knock.
Adamson said: "Jack is fit again and was looking to get back playing.
"We had a conversation and things moved on and it will be great to have his experience on board, especially against Albion Rovers who have a manager and several players that have strong links to Dumbarton.
"We showed last week by beating Forfar what we can do and I want a repeat of that."
Albion Rovers are without Scott Chaplain.
Chaplain, formerly a Son, begins a two-game suspension to add to other concerns manager Paul Martin is dealing with prior to the encounter against his old club.
Ciaran Donnelly and midfielder Steven Canning are struggling with groin injuries to leave Rovers' resources stretched.
Albion have not won in their last five games and Martin wants that run to end.
He said: "I enjoyed playing and managing at Dumbarton, so I am looking forward to going back but I am going back looking for the win that will settle us down in this division.
"We have had a trying start to the season through one thing and another and now it is time to focus on winning."
