@Lewis
Please ask Sheerin about where were are on the squad front next interview. How many players we're still looking to bring in and for what positions? Thanks.

The Barry Ferguson effect plain for all to see today?

What a dismal and disjointed performance by Cove today. Both halves I thought we were miles off our best. Apart from Blair Yule and Scott Ross not many had a good game.
I hope Hartley doesn't persist with Gourlay and Draper, latter was woeful and former gives me the fear.
Missed Strachan at the back and Masson on the wing.
Supposedly we are looking to bring in another striker very soon. Is needed.
As for Falkirk, Morrison is a stand out, really like his pace and directness. Nesbit was lively at times but hard to judge as he was walking away from Draper. McGuffie is decent from what I saw. A clinical striker very much needed. Wilson is a let down, tries but I can't see him getting enough goals to satisfy the Bairns.
Falkirk fans behind the goal were loud which adds to the atmosphere
Us not allowing Fyvie to get into the game today was the difference from last season. That being said he looked off the pace and that helped massively. Draper was useless and Vigurs wasn't as effective as we all thought he'd be. Wilson is rotten and the fact we've gave him a 2 year deal is a joke. Keena made much more of an impact up there when he came on so hopefully he starts next week. Still 2/3 quality signings away from looking like a good prospect this year.
Hetherington, Mccann, Mckay and Williamson missing from the usual starting line up so still plenty to come from us hopefully. Nesbitt looked lively but I'd rather see him out wide on the opposite wing from Morrison so we have a threat on either side as McGuffie doesn't really look to get at his man. Cove goal came out the blue as we looked comfortable but when you have strikers like Megginson and Mcallister who know where the net is you're always susceptible to that goal out the blue.

Wilson won just the one header, the one where he was only challenging himself and managed to flick it straight onto their centre back. He's honestly rivaling Taylor Morgan and John Stewart for the worst striker we've ever had.

I thought we edged it today without actually looking that dangerous. The lack of quality showed today especially upfront. Keena was 10x better than Wilson when he came on but that wasn't exactly a difficult task. I think the main difference this season compared to the football last season is us not allowing other teams to play. Our pressing was there for all to see and Fyvie or Vigurs didn't get a chance to dictate the game. Given the circumstances we'll obviously take a draw but we need some more quality in if we're to be anywhere near winning this league

Better team, just nothing upfront.

Aside from Wilson I think we've actually been the better team with Morrison having Milne on toast. Williamson for us hasn't had a good game and I fear they'll change it up at half time and exploit that. Still only young but positionally he's all over the place. Nesbitt's been positive in the middle of the park and if McGuffie had a right foot we'd be 2-0 up.

2 year deal too. We won't score here with him on the park.

He makes Francis look like a player.
At least Francis actually had pace.

The sooner we get Wilson off the better. Been getting down the wings well but he never looks like he's ever going to get on the end of any crosses.

Cove start as per below. Can't say I'm impressed Hartley has chosen Gourlay over McKenzie. In fact I'm completely against this. Unless the latter isn't fully fit this is a terrible decision. McKenzie was in the L1 team of the season last year, is a solid keeper and has a strong relationship with our defence.
Neill starts with Strachan not fully fit and on the bench. Strachan is our best CB.
Draper over Scully is ludicrous imo.
These bad choices could cost us points today.
You playing 5 at the back or will Logan be playing right midfield?

I don’t buy for one minute that Cove can offer more than we can. I can, however, understand that they will pay players extremely well to play part time football, which combined with a job will take their pay above what we can pay. I’ve said before that being full time in this league can be a disadvantage when trying to attract some players.
And the big signings they have made have been players already based up north. I'm just disappointed we haven't dealt with our own key deficiencies from last season. Hall should never have been resigned that should have really been the clue as to how it was going to go, We needed more than one centre midfielder brought in and we needed a much better option upfront than Jaime Wilson.

There’s been all sorts of moans on this thread. Some justified, some not. However the worst moan is that each player doesn’t have his own individual treadmill.
It wasn't a moan. It was a suggestion when it was assumed players couldn't go outside when they were self isolating. Now that assumptions been proven wrong then obviously there's no need for them.

Treadmills would be fine if they were distance runners but they’re footballers. It’s not going to help much in maintaining the type of fitness they need.
You can do interval training on a treadmill. But anyhow if they are allowed to exercise outside whilst self isolating then there's no need for them.

I know but people are just so fed up with the lack of signing activity that that doesn't really compute.
3 weeks today since we signed someone who wasn't from the development team trials. Holt and Martin. 3 weeks of heehaw.

You are allowed to go out for exercise alone when isolating.
Also have you seen the price of a treadmill??
It's not that much in the grand scheme of things. Could easily get 25 of them for 10k £400 a pop or even less.
I wasn't aware that you were allowed to leave the house when you were self isolating though so the treadmills are a non event if the players could have still been going out runs.

Aye wait the now so the club can go and buy 22 treadmills to supply the players to take home with them
Companies made deals with technology companies in order to help get equipment out to staff so they could work from home effectively. This isn't really any different. The club could easily bulk buy them at a discounted rate and get them sent out to the players as it most likely won't be the last time players have to self isolate due to a close contact.

I want to wait and see what the line up is like before comitting to buying the stream but if I leave it that late i'm not sure that I'll get access. For example if Telfer's out I may as well not bother as Gary Miller will be on the park and you can more or less guarantee Ben Hall will be also if he's not one of the affected 5. If Wilson's starting then it'll be an easy decision for me.
Even with a full strength squad we'd struggle to beat Cove right now as we've still not got anything up the top end of the park.

Agreed, but what if some of these players live in a flat? Or have a small garden? Isolation means they can't leave the house so how on earth can they possibly keep fit to the level of a full time professional football player when stuck under these circumstances?
You've got this Pelaton
There's this thing nowadays called a treadmill and if our players don't already have one we should definitely look at fixing that need.

Is Keena not ripping it up for you? I genuinely thought when we had him on loan he'd destroy League One.
He's a poacher which doesn't really work when we're playing one upfront against teams who are sitting deep and making it difficult for us to break them down as the two centre backs can easily pick him up due to them having no one else to worry about. If we played with 2 upfront he'd be fine but he's not suited to the loan striker as he won't hold the ball in for you and likewise he'll very rarely go in behind the defence.

A striker, a centre midfielder and a centre back should see us sorted but they need to be capable starters as oppose to just players there to make up the numbers.
