It's the teams fighting relegation and the playoffs is where we are most likely to drop unexpected points Have you actually seen us play this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The form Since M&M took over would suggest 28 points min and i expect them to improve on that. Don't think it will be enough either. Goal difference could be as good as a point by the end of the season which I will be glad to see the back of. Was encouraged by the Hearts game, the weather was a leveller. But effort and team spirit was their in spades. We also now have a core of players to build on for next season and M&M deserve credit for that. Mutch - Dixon - Gomis - Miller - Longridge - Sammon - Laverty and McManus that's if we can get him. There are one or two others that could be maybes. So there are positives but have a feeling its winner takes all on the last game of the season with maybe a draw being enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be 12 clear and rolling, or you could be 6 clear despite some stumbles. Maybe that BBC piece was right, it’s certainly the most interesting, if not quality, league race. Edit: Corrected 15 to 12...I incorrectly totaled points. Edited February 10, 2020 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In close years, 65-69 can do it. Raith are on track for 69-70 points, Falkirk’s current track is for 65. You effectively need to find 2 wins from ties, and one tie from a loss, over your average form to this point in the league to reach 70, where your goal advantage gifts a point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Must get this tied up before last game, can’t remember any games we’ve won in this situation, big crowd, all the social stuff, all the pish about omens, then getting beat Ross County last season.Results elsewhere on the day stuffed us.(Obviously not going into the season of footballing dysentery that preceded that game). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have a better chance of them staying if we go up and would certainly want them next season. But if we don't go up they will be away. How we have fallen so fast and so far from playing in a cup final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller will be here next season if we want him, and given his form since M&M arrived I'm sure we will. https://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/2020/01/03/gary-miller-robbie-leitch-sign-contract-extensions/ Morgaro Gomis will be 35 when next season begins. For that reason I can't see there being too much of a stampede for his signature so I imagine if we want him he'll be here too. Not so sure about McManus. Goalscorers are always in demand so even if we go up he may have far better options than FFC. You have to assume that either no-one in the Championship wants Longridge or that we're currently paying him more than club who would are prepared to. That one could go either way.

If we do go up I wouldnt want to be relying on him to get the goals. I would want to keep him though. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that though i would say that is dependant on who he has around him or how the team is set up to play so its not really a reflection on him, now we have a bit of stability (or you would like to think) theres every chance he would do better with us IF we go up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbrbairn Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Cant remember anyone seriously writing that we would get over 100 points. I think it was more other teams support who thought we had the Billy Big Baws attitude and not our fans who had watched us under RM and hoped we might scrape the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know his length of contract, I thought it was only 1year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
