MrDust Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 10 hours ago, HopeStreetWalker said: The management and coaching teams job is to get a system that is effective in the league we are in and maximises the potential of the players. If we are not clicking after 6 or so games then McKinnon could be out by Xmas. McKinnon is nobodies fool so he knows the next couple of months are make or break for him. Our manager has failed to get a system that has worked for more than half a season in his previous jobs What is McKinnons greatest achievement in management ? No points for getting Falkirk relegated for the non Falkirk fans accepted. His interview on Saturday was the most clueless thing I've seen since Eddie May, he knows he is under pressure to deliver like he was at Utd and failed 48 minutes ago, Grangemouth Bairn said: I think he meant a good squad for our current level which, with the correct mentality and playing style from the manager, it most certainly is.

Marshmallo Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 1 hour ago, Bairnardo said: I think theres probably a core of 7 or 8 in the squad that could be in a playoff/title challenge. Need better in the defence though, probably in all 5 positions That's laughable. Tidser is the only one with that pedigree. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McManus certainly can be involved at the top end. Sammon probably too. Tidser, McShane (not on current levels but has been there) Durnan, Bucky, Doyle are squad/backup level maybe. Wouldnt want them as first picks. Telfer has the ability but lets see if we can get a season out him. Sorry mucker but Its a long way from laughable to say there are players there who could be involved in a higher end Championshop squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mucker but Its a long way from laughable to say there are players there who could be involved in a higher end Championshop squad. And the only one who was at that level last season was McManus (I'll admit I forgot him). The rest of the players you listed are with us because it was a two year deal at Falkirk or a one year deal at muck like Morton or Queens. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 5 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: Tell me this is a joke? On paper it is nothing more than an average Championship squad. Oh how our support has been indoctrinated to accept the average. What are you expecting? Average Championship is easily good enough to comfortably win this league, and itself would represent a significant improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 So only one more signing in the shape of a left midfielder according to McKinnon. Where is this cover for Paul Dixon? The defence looking very thin IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is this cover for Paul Dixon? The defence looking very thin IMO. Yep, we should have been looking for right & left wing backs that could ideally play as proper full backs too. We'd then have Doyle and Dixon available to cover Durnan, Toshney & Buchanan in the middle. Easier said than done of course to get the quality he would want v those available. IMO we should be playing a 3-5-2 in this league anyway, especially at home. We need width. Very, very good chance that we'd have scored on Saturday if it was wee Tommy delivering those crosses rather than Dixon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirktheinvincible Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Shocked at the lack of praise for Buchanan. I think he has the potential to be a club legend and we're very lucky to have him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely doesn't say that's it though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams play 4 at the back in Scotland so I'd suspect finding wing backs won't be easy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
