Guest Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 This pretty much 100% for me. Boxing Day at Fife was a real low, and I honestly thought we were destined to drop down to mid-table based on that mind-numbing, flat, insipid display of utter ordinary-ness. We've totally outplayed two teams in a row at home, one off a decent lengthy run, the other second top, co-inciding with these changes and the addition of a couple of new faces. Three, if including the return of Watson, who's looked confident and assured alongside Peter the Rock. But it is only two games, so we'll soon see whether its just a flash in the pan, or if Houston has finally got the dynamic right and we can now make a decent, consistent run for second place... coyb. It is not just two games. We have won 4 out of 5. Scored 12 and conceded 3 in that time and we should have taken a point from Hibs at New Year so should be 6 unbeaten IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston hasn't performed a miracle here, he's just started playing players in their preferred position and fitting the formation around the players rather than the other way round (with the exception of Craigen who is adapting well to the right wing but still looks a bit lost at times and gets dragged in-field). I can only think of 2 or 3 times this season that Sibbs has moved to the left, considering he had his best full season out there, I don't see the issue as up until recently his good games in the middle haven't been one after the other. I take it you missed the Watson gasparotto pairing at the start of the season that was like moses parting the sea in our defence. Its obvious McCrackens time is up but again this season like last, he has came in and for a period did tighten the ship. If anything Houstie has performed a master stroke dropping Grant then bringing him back as Grant wasn't firing all cylinders either and to be expected re his long injury but for sure Grant is now. I have been critical of Houstie mainly over the last quarter in which he turned draws into defeats with his squad tinkering but for me its far too long way to go re critiscm for the league (cups we've been poor) but the last three games for me would read good, as good as we had to be and excellent. If we recreate Saturdays performance when we need to, we won't be far away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely agree with the general point you are making Houston absolutely deserves credit as the last 3 games have been great and the best we've been this season. But it's still a bit too soon to tell if we have turned a corner yet it was only a month ago we were 1 win in 7.However with your stat there you're completely ignoring the Morton cup game and the other game we didn't win was the abysmal home draw against Ayr. Also it's ludicrous to suggest we should've got a point against Hibs, we got what we deserved in that game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO we should have drawn the Hibs game. We were 2 minutes from doing it. How is it ludicrous to say we should have seen that out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grass Is Greener. Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I get BPM is trying this new being positive thing but we deserved to win that game and the goal was worthy of winning any match. Apart from all that he seems spot on so I'll bugger of now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a brilliant hit but we had been pretty comfortable most of the second half. Anyway what it is it is. We are in a much better place now than then. We need to keep this form going.

senorsoupe Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 As a Canadian I'm wondering what Falkirk fans think of Fraser Aird and Luca Gasparotto? I was impressed by what I saw from Aird when he was playing for Vancouver but he hasn't gotten too much playing time since he joined Falkirk from Sevco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Started his first game and played well according to reports but missed the Dunfermline game due to his dads passing.Got 5 minutes on Saturday to ease him back in but Craigen has done well in his absence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
