Arbroath vs Dumbarton preview - Sheerin rules himself out



I have a say

Posted Saturday, November 05, 2011 by PA

Arbroath player-manager Paul Sheerin remains out following his recent knee operation as his side look to continue their undefeated home record against visitors Dumbarton.

Striker Jordan Elfverson is a doubt with an ankle knock and Sheerin has told his players to be wary of the threat posed by the Sons.

He said: "We have improved defensively over recent weeks but this game will be a real test of that. Dumbarton have very good front men and they can attack you with great pace.

"They have tightened up at the back recently as well so it is unlikely to be the 4-3 thriller we won at their place.

"Our home form has been good with five wins and a draw and we need to keep that going."

Dumbarton have a fully-fit squad to choose from for their trip.

With only one defeat in five games, the Sons are enjoying their best run of the season.

Manager Alan Adamson is looking forward to squaring up against Paul Sheerin's side.

He said: "We are looking a lot tighter at the back which is great, although we are still not scoring enough but I am sure that will come.

"After a bit of a rollercoaster start to the season it looks like we have finally found a consistency of performance but that will be tested by Arbroath.

"They are a good attacking side but we have improved since the last game when we took the lead three times and lost."
