Comparison to Paton is ludicrous. He does seem to be involved in creating goal chances for others. I just thought Tidser was the type of player to control the midfield but appears to be more of a goal creator

Would think Montrose are more typical of a league one team than Dumbarton were last week. This type of game will probably be repeated a few times this season. Good battling win in the end. As most would agree Gomis looks the better option than McShane but he played decent enough. Better than Tidser who although had a hand in the first goal did not do much else of note.

Had a wee chuckle at this because wulffc is the guy that runs the COYB Facebook page

From outside looking in McShane keeping his place ahead of Gomis is a very strange decision. That's Ray for you

Falkirk Herald saying Lewis Toshney unlikely to play along with the expected missing Durnan and MacLean. https://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/sport/football/falkirk-mckinnon-hails-talented-louis-longridge-1-4979734 Mentions it right at bottom of page. Looks like Moore will get a start at LB if Toshney doesn't make it with Dixon moving to CB.

Unlikely to sign DKD at this time. Longridge is simply a less talented more experienced DKD. Still happy with him signing though

So if Dixon was injured who in current squad could fill in at left back. I'm thinking probably Tidser

Peter 'Peaso' MacDonald from the Shire

I said on Peterhead thread that he could have used Dixon mainly as centre back and cover for left and signed up Robson. Then not sign say Durnan and you would have still decent defensive cover and better attacking threat on the left

As has been pointed out by many we don't have any proper width. Most Falkirk fans could see we needed to retain Robson to give good width on the left and if we needed to have Dixon then be used primarily as a centre back and then cover for left back. McKinnon just wanted to give too many contracts to his old pals. Still think we should win the league but it could be a turgid slog
