Again he managed 60 mins nae bother and was far better than miller has ever shown. Team morale? Are you having a giraffe. If the team are going to suddenly get down because the manager signed a new player and decided to play him then we might as well give up now. Rennie should be looking to get miller put as soon as possible not keep him in the bloody side. He shouldn't be anywhere near the side as he's been completely done for at least two seasons now.
So if he told Miller he was starting today then changed it when he brought in Jacobs last minute then making the change would be fine? Of course it wouldn’t. I want Miller out the team as much as the next guy and I’m sure Jacobs will be in from the start next week but I can understand why he didn’t start today

Jacobs managed to play 60 mins today nae bother and yet Rennie still started the awful miller in front of him. Playing both telfer and nesbitt isn't required if you change the formation to one that suits the bloody players you have.
You can’t just throw Jacobs in when he’s been signed on the day. I’ve said this to you before but let’s be real about this. If he dropped Miller for Jacobs when it’s likely the guy hasn’t even trained with the team what do you think that would do for the team and players morale?

For those saying “Rennie can go back to managing his womens team in America” should maybe have some respect for what the guy has done in his career.
If your calling for his head already then you deserve the club you’ve got!

Nonsense other sides in this league manage to get guys who can do the basics at the back in no problem. No point in bringing in kids that aren't ready when we're trying to shore up a piss awful defence. It's league one too so its not as if we need a baresi or bloody John Terry . Just someone with half a clue how to defend would do.
Not in January though. That’s the point I was making

Why he's picking both of them is utterly beyond me. It's not worked all season. You just get two fecking complete passengers. Not sure what's happened with nesbitt who was outstanding at the start of the season whilst telfer is a one decent game in about 15 if you're lucky. Playing them both is farcical.
The same reason he’s picking Miller, there’s no better options at present. Hopefully Jacobs starts next week with a new midfielder in there as well

Seriously think people are underestimating just how shite we were/are. The squad is shocking. It’s so powderpuff, especially in midfield. Rennies signings so far have been positive but nothing is going to be fixed overnight.
Rennie will be judged on how he does by the end of the season. I’m not going to dismiss him after a month in charge

Why we keep getting teenage defenders on loan is completely beyond me. This is not the league or the bloody situation to be blooding them in.
Because we’re a shite team in league 1 and no decent experienced defenders will come to us

It's the same old story if we're not playing the utter dross at the bottom you can forget getting a result. Different coach, different players same bloody story.
It’s still early days but we need to start winning games

He’s been quite petulant today. A sign that he’s clearly pissed off he is back and he doesn’t want to play for Falkirk!
Dowds was never going to be the saviour when it came to scoring goals. Still quite laughable one of our fans argued that he was a better goalscorer than DGW

Has Miller dropped into the back 3?

I was just thinking the same myself re Holt. Not sure we'd want two 30 odd year olds in our midfield every week but you never know.
For anyone who’s not 30 yet, contrary to some beliefs on here, your legs will still work once you turn 30

Are we even signing him?

think that was someone on the wind up going by the comment i saw that in on COYB. Wonder if we will get any info on the game from the club being its obv known about.
I doubt they’ll advertise it. It’s likely Rennie will mention it in his pre match interview

Just for a bit of fun given the novelty of Kabia's double on Saturday, I went trawling on bettermeddle to see how many Bairns players I could find who got 2 (or more) goals on their League debut. So far I've found four - a couple are more recent than Id imagined. There might easily be others I've missed
B Hall (!) https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=2020&id=322&type=1 but that was v Forfar so didnt count
L Longridge (2nd spell) https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=2018&id=319&type=1 when we papped DUFC 6-1
M Higdon https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=2008&id=301&type=1 opening day thrashing of Gretna at Fir Park
"Half Chance" Charlie Lytwyn went one better with a league debut hatrick v Ayr Utd in 1985 https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=1986&id=202&type=1
Once you go pre transfer window of course a player could have made their debut any old time, maybe some other older Bairns will remember debut doubles or hatricks.
Could have saved yourself some time

The only reason Edjenguele looked decent was because he played like Van Dijk in comparison to the CB pairings that would have struggled in the Juniors who we'd been playing for the first half of that fucking grim season.
Think he had a great debut but just declined from there

Luca Connell would be an excellent signing but it's a no from me on Simon Murray. Proper workhouse and an absolute nuisance for defences but he can't finish to save himself which is why he's still at this level.
He’s also an annoying, ugly c**t!
I honestly wouldn’t tire of punching that face

Very rarely disagreed with letting players go the past few years but we've really struggled to bring in better replacements.
ATS looks ok enough and Kabia obviously had an amazing debut, we badly need 2 centre halves and an upgrade on Miller/Telfer (or both) for CM or we'll be on a hiding to nothing.
Rennie/Miller will be all too aware of this though and i'm just hoping they're able to get in the quality we desperately need.
It’s not a case of replacing Telfer. It’s getting someone to play along side him that can let him do what he does best

Signing a certain player aside, the sooner we get this “Falkirk family” club tag in the bin the better. We didn’t have that until the last 6/7 years and was always too close to the “Celtic Family” nonsense for my liking.
We had an academy & community teams way before that tagline was banded about so it’s not needed. Focus on Saturday between 3-4.45 and everything else fits into place.
I totally agree with this. Never heard anyone say “let’s go support Falkirk, they’re a nice family club”

As it stands we have Dowds, Kabia, Morrison, Ompreon and WIlson....the last 2 will unlikely be in Rennie's plans.
Over the last few weeks it looked as though Keena wasn't too interested and I'm, not surprised he was offloaded. I have sneaking suspicion that both Rennie and Miller wouldnt have stood for that attitude.
My thoughts only....is that they may think we are OK up front at the moment, particularly afer bringing Kabia in and probably focussing now on other areas where we need to improve i.e one half decent enforcer for the middle and a couple of players for at the back. I would also like to see a new experienced keeper coming in but priority should be the centre backs as we are woeful in that dept.
I’m not sure if it’s just the way you’ve written it but the management team won’t be focusing on one signing at a time. Regardless of whether or not they’re looking at a new striker, they’ll be looking at improving other positions as well

We’ve now announced it. Says contract mutually terminated so doesn’t look like a fee involved

Everything is just rumours and no point in another frenzy. The board will know the feelings amongst the support and I have confidence in them doing the right thing for the fans. No reason for any distrust at this moment and suspect it could be a lot of shite now.
Announce Craig, pls.
Remember though, they’re going to do what they feel is in the best interest of the club
“To do that, we’ll always make decisions we believe to be in the best interests of the club, whether those decisions are popular with all fans or unpopular with some”
Hopefully I’m wrong but I’ve always said this statement said a lot about what they feel they need to do

Their season doesn't start until the 18th of February so it could be we have him for a few more weeks until we find a replacement.
You’d assume they’ll be training and playing friendlies though

You know what really annoys me about football fans, comments like this:
“Am I the only one who sees we need better defenders?”
”Why hasn’t the manager signed any defenders? That is where we are weak”
Some of our fans are absolutely mental

But it doesn’t solve it. Who is going to play left midfield? Also we’ll have Morrison out wide who has a terrible delivery.
You could argue playing a 442 makes us weaker
