Springfield

Counting UTD as SPL team

If there’s a time for any fans who have drifted/stopped attending over the past few years, there’s no time like the present to bury the bad, and get yourselves back. We’ve got half a dozen home games that we need to have the stadium bouncing. An extra couple of thousand fans helps get deals like today over the line.

Excellent news. Would image that he’s probably the highest paid player out with the SPL, and what a CB piece of business by the club

Slightly off subject, but an interesting read about Motherwells situation and the obvious need for new investment. 71% fan owned, finished seventh in the SPL last season, but made a 1.6M loss. Reported that there potentially two interested parties and some mention of the shares being changed. As it’s early days interesting to see how this develops.

Bit concerned when Tuesdays line up was announced, but the guys that came in done really well. Kelty will be no pushovers and we’ll need the same endeavour, application and attitude. Saturday can’t come soon enough and meeting with some brilliant bairns who are travelling from down south up to game.

This.

Probably the easiest game we’ve had against Montrose since we’ve been down here, the replacements In the starting line up did little wrong and great to see guys like Mackie getting game time. Olivers goal was a peach and roll on Saturday. Another 4K+ for a Tuesday game, great effort by all.

Montrose have been a good watch, proper manager and some really good players. We need to be at the same level as Saturdays performance, and with the same commitment we won’t be far away.

Just a reminder that there’s a long way to go and although we’ve put a line in the sand, let’s not get carried away. Montrose will be a difficult game, we need to produce Saturdays performance from now to the maths say……..

Arfield would be a very expensive player, and would probably require financing outwith the normal wage structure. Wouldn’t expect he’s got the box/box same engine and my concern, would be similar to McGinn, who tbh looked done before injury’s finished him off. We’ve tried the DOF / new young/coach/manager lark, and it’s cost us an extended stay down here, so no thank you to any DOF/upcoming newbie. McGlynn with Smith have been outstanding with player recruitment (with the odd bump) Said it a few times - get Miller signed for another three years. A footballer that plays with his head and feet. Not many players with this level of skill at this level.

McIver & Yeats have significantly improved beyond expectations. Still think handing Nesbitt a further straight two years, should have been a year with optional second. No argument with McGlynn I,ll eat that part of the pie.

Unquestionably. However hoping that the spine of the team (GK -exception) are still in place, as I’ve not seen any better in the current championship, of course should we go up..

Fantastic show/game/result and for thirty five minutes we were untouchable. Power pace commitment that simply blew Hamilton away. Sat nearly in line with the call for offside, thought their player was just on. Hamilton had a bit more resilience about them second period and gave them a weak second goal that gave them some hope, but didn’t at any stage think we’d lose the game. Some quite embarrassing officiating and some brutal challenges that were straight reds little alone yellows. Thought we were fantastic and thoroughly deserved the three points. (Slight negative - Hogarth needs to own the box more stands frozen far too often and needs to practice his out balls) Unbelievable chance to go 14 points clear which would put a hellava distance at the top. Brilliant atmosphere in town before and after and sure most of towns publicans will be waking up with smiles today.

Brutally honest, the time has come. As posted probably our win game, if there was ever one. The guys will know that a special performance and win will be a leverage to go on and get the holy grail (no disrespect to my fave film)

Just back from hols, so many friends (some not bairns) travelling from North, south and west for tomorrow’s game. FFS Falkirk, the people who have maybe drifted away disillusioned with the five years down here are back in numbers….over to you.

Understand exactly where you’re coming from. So many Fckn let downs, still get the odd ICT semi final early morning wake up call. Trying desperately to get the mindset tomorrow “only another league game” With so many points still to play for, and Montrose soon after tomorrow, it could be so all so positively different on Tuesday at the end of the game.

McGlynn to his credit did say that McCann has earned the shirt this season after bringing in his replacement. When we’re on the front foot his attacking and width is really good, His crosses are good and has a finish. The games in which he finds difficult is when teams press higher and more direct, on the very limited games so far, when the opposition play it overhead or direct, he’s not as comfortable.

With contracts already handed out, McCanns situation like another half dozen, may depend on how shroud/clever McGlynn is already sounding/speaking to other players that he wants to bring in. Should we get top spot, expecting to see a few players released that may surprise a few. For me I like McCann, but as said if we go up it’s another level for the players.

Fantastic to see so many FALKIRK supporters attending Saturday’s game. From the capitulation, abhorrent, soul destroying, embarrassing horror show at Airdrie last year, this game can’t come soon enough. Never thought we’d be anywhere near this level of performance and league standing and all I say to the players, don’t leave anything in the dressing room, and if you give it blood sweat and tears, we’ll be fine. COYB. From a barmy 29c

If we can keep the sales up, think we’re good for anything between 4.6/5. Like many, on holiday but had to change to get home in time. Didn’t realise it was school holidays which will probably have some effect on the attendance.

My recollections were 1800, might be wrong, but 2600 rings a bell.

Numbers

What was the target number for STs this season? And can anyone confirm what numbers we have?

Had a quick Look over the main stand - a few sections down to singular numbers. Let’s do it and agree get the away stand opened for Falkirk supporters.
