roman_bairn Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Imo you seem to think we are better than we are. Of that squad only Mutch, Kelly, Morrison, Alston and probably Keena are good enough to have us challenging at the top end of the championship. I just hope Rawlins is watching and sorts things out when he lands in January. If I genuinely believed we have 5 players in our squad good enough to be challenging at the top end of the Championship I’d be congratulating our management team at this stage.ps. I don’t.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got away with it due to Morrisons purple patch but now it's dried up we never look like scoring. Summer signings again for the umpteenth year in a row look poor. Keena injured so can't rate him at all. Dowds showed in flashes but doesn't score anywhere near enough for me. Francis looks like he's playing at least two levels above his standard. Mercer is another mediocre right back that couldn't cross his legs. Kelly is okay if not spectacular at least he means we don't have to play durnan. Sneddon obviously nowhere near the first team, young boy from Killie no.idea why we signed him and Morrison has been good in the main although his form has dipped at the moment. Backup goalie is fine. Alston has been a huge disappointment but will struggle In a midfield with zero pace. Hardly a glowing report and follows on from the dross they picked up last January like Todd etc. So Sammon 1 goal in six games is simply not good enough given his experience and the caliber of player he is up against . He is trying but it’s simply not good enough. Dowds has more football bit his relative inexperience doesn’t help and for now his record isn’t any better . Fills backs were poor Miller total pish and Todd painful to watch We need to dig deep to ensure we win this league . It’s very rare a team wins a league without a striker getting into double figures . Keena needs to be the man or we could be in trouble ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I was genuinely worried that a bit of pressure added to a game or two not going our way could see the management and team choke and stall. As results went our way, everything seemed pretty rosy in the garden.Two pretty woeful performances against other half decent teams in the league are the first signs of adversity, and with it comes a bit of pressure (4 point lead or not). The chances of this starting to unravel are no longer far fetched. For me based on what I am seeing, “Falkirk Win L1” and “Falkirk Blow It Yet again” are two headlines that are now running neck and neck.We are left with the hope that Keena is the one that is going to make the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 My concerns lie with M&M picking the right team rather than the players we have tbh. Obviously Connolly and Keena being injured and Alston missing pre season havent been ideal. I still think we'll win the league though, and with a couple of additions the current squad would be absolutely fine in the Championship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus of the Mo Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I’m sure it will be Falkirk and Partick who go up. Cove have fallen on their erses. As a Mo fan, I would be happy if we’re in the top 4 at the end of the season. I wouldn’t want to see the Mo getting promoted, we’re not a big enough club. Thinking about Brechin, a club that punched above their weight for 20 years, now going through a nightmare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I just dont think we cope with being favourites or as the last 2 weeks have show we had the chance to open a gap between ourselves and the rest of the clubs and we are slowly blowing it and that gap is getting narrower. Sammon is not a striker and Dowds needs a bit of confidence or at least Francis to give him a chance instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The biggest disappointment for me has been the turgid, defensive style employed by M&M. They knew the fans were totally against the borefest served up by McKinnon week after week but are giving us exactly the same pish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammon is not a striker and Dowds needs a bit of confidence or at least Francis to give him a chance instead. And anyone who cannot "cope with being favourites" whilst being employed by Falkirk Football Club in League 1 is of absolutely no use to us and should get the f**k out of the door immediately, never to return. Players, management team, whoever. God help us. Four seasons ago we went toe-to-toe with Rangers and Hibs, two of the biggest clubs in Scotland, with multiple times our playing budget and resources. No fear was shown, and precious little respect either. Houston could not have made his contempt for Stubbs in particular, and Hibs in general, any clearer. He didn't give a toss for reputation that season, and neither did his players. It was magnificent to behold. A manager with that sort of mindset would have had us going into these last two games against Airdrie and Partick with the attitude "We're top of the league, we're going to show you why, and at the conclusion of these 180 minutes the rest of you will be looking at playoffs at best" Take the advantage we have built up, ram it home and have everything as good as wrapped up before 2021 is even here. Instead, 180 minutes worth of the trademark craven, gutless shitbaggery that has become the norm in any game of significance. That Houston team was not the most the most talented we have had in recent times, but a hundredth of their spirit, attitude and refusal to be beaten and we'd be planning for the Championship already. Someone needs to get a grip of the club and initiate a complete change in mindset. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawkirk Wull Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I hate to admit it but we may still be top of the league but do not look anything like a league winning side. Mercer got out of jail a few times , Kelly trying to hit passes to ? . I think Miller was playing, absolutely no attacking punch from midfield. Gomis @ 35 must be wondering what the f--k. Attack so very punch less. 2 weeks on the trot home advantage against probably our supposedly main challengers, just not good enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 On the law of averages the amount of chances Sammon has had the past 2 weeks he should have scored, Miller i thought was pretty much anonymous today Todd drifted in and out. Other than the chances Partick the crossbar and the post aside, i dont think we have issues defensively our biggest issue is creativity and scoring and thats 2 weeks on the trot we had chances but no one is scoring. A striker that cant score isnt a striker, he can trouble defences that we have seen and opened them up but he just cant score. Again our best player was Gomis. Miller saying weather didnt help the game (which is fair enough) and players kicking themselves end of the day its 2 points dropped and i hope to f**k they dont come back and haunt us in the same was as the end of last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS RR Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Miller is totally hopeless, he offers us nothing going forward and he was a liability today. He gets an awful easy ride from our fans, if you watch him play he doesn't have a positive impact on any match. His passing is backward and if he's adventurous it's side ways. We can't start him any longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe they started him in midfield today, especially if you consider how good Telfer has bee recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
