Well that was tragic. Falkirk never got out of first gear never mind second.. we were there for the taking and a decent team would have put 3 or 4 past us. Chalmers looked competent, wighton tried to make things happen for the first 20 minutes then just disappeared, Otoo recovered well from a disastrous first 20. Now to the negatives.. Lewis McCann is NOT a championship level player, I’m not even sure he’s good enough to kick about the lower leagues. Just a big lump who floats about doing nothing. KRH clearly has talent but he’s nullified by our pish system. The black sheets, the ref (for both sides, that “foul” by Maciver was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen), the message on the tifo.. all pish. 
 

the worrying thing is the apathy, nobody was really arsed because we all knew exactly how that game would play out. Won’t give the club another penny until this regime (I include mcpake in that) is gone.

Wighton was moved to the left wing and McCann was played through the middle in the striker role half way through the first half after the lengthy injury break which possibly made it look like he had disappeared..

Similar situation as Allan. 

I would rather have Allan and Jakubiak than Chalmers and Wighton but we need to upgrade and the latter are still under contract. 

Personally I would rather have Chalmers and Wighton to be honest. Although Allan has 2 goals and 2 assists, Chalmers has 6 assists. 

Jakubiak has the lowest goal conversion rate from shots in the whole team at only 9%. To be fair to the strikers they get very poor service with too many team mates choosing to shoot and miss rather than pass.  McCann is particularly greedy. Kane is good but has not played many games and Wighton has the best eye for goal with goal conversion (30%) and shot accuracy (55%) stats. Dunfermline have the lowest amount of players (only2) with more than 3 assists in the league. 

The stats for the top 5 (in current league position) with total assists and players providing more than 3 assists areas follows

Team              Assists         Players with more than 3 assists

United               55                7

Raith                  44                7

Partick               49                5

Airdrie                44                7

Dunfermline     33                2

 

The stats for the strikers are as follows

Player         Goals       Assists      Played     Total Shots     Goal Conversion     Shot accuracy

 McCann       7                1                  33              54                      13%                           44%

Wighton        6               2                  23              20                      30%                          55%

Kane              3               0                    7               16                       19%                           38%

Jakubiak       3               3                  24              22                        9%                           45%

I think the four strikers are on about 17 goals so far, which must be close to what El Bak got. But I do agree they miss far too many chances. It's so frustrating.

In fact, were it possible, I'd punt them all except Wighton for next season.

I think the 4 strikers have 30 goals between them.

Wighton 10

Todorov 9

McCann 9

O'Hara 2

Could be wrong, but think the team was:

Mehmet

Macdonald, Benedictus, Comrie, Edwards

Todd, Hamilton, Chalmers

O’Hara, Wighton, McCann

Just going from memory, so could have one or two players wrong. Had a quick look at the tweet, then went back to check and to see if subs were announced and it was gone.

Is that not 3 or the top 4 scorers last season, forget where Ohara finished, but to claim these players aren't championship players is not true, have to ask why they aren't getting service.

 

[Dunfermline vs Queen of the South]

Last season Wighton and Todorov were joint 2nd top goal scorers in the Championship. Wighton with 9 goals in 18 games, and Todorov with 9 goals in 26 games. O'Hara was joint 6th with 8 goals in 24 games. We should have more than enough firepower with the right service to the front players.
