Hearts wanted revenge for a 6-0 trousering at Brockville in 93 and we treated it just as a friendly, hence the 4-0 score line. What are we like eh…. No matter how positive you are when you put lipstick on a pig it is still a pig. The very sight of Hall, Miller and Dowds anywhere near a Falkirk side should tell you we are not in great shape for the coming season Edited July 4, 2021 by Back Post Misses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens you'd have been aswell keeping dross like Sammon. I'm actually quite fearful for us. I don't think (or at least I hope) either will sign. Saying that, giving them game time now is a complete waste of time. If they wanted to "bulk" out the squad for friendlies I'd rather they chucked in some of the boys they're looking at for the development team to give them experience against a good side. We are still 6 signings off the finished article but it is vital that 3 of the 6 are viewed as starting 11 places throughout the spine of the side.

FFC 1876 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Yeah as sad as it sounds it's maybe just a case of keeping them along at the moment so we can actually field a team in the friendlies. Sheerin's had plenty time to have a proper look at them by now so hopefully they are offski or at least gone after the Arbroath game. Still a hell of a lot to do on the recruitment front before the start of the season against Cove on the 31st of July which is in less than 4 weeks. A back up goalkeeper, a centre back to compete with Mckay & Dixon as Hall won't do, an energetic centre midfielder and two strikers with one presumably going to be Ruth from Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly on what is required. Neilson as the centre back on loan would be ideal as he can cover RB and probably CM also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn in Exile Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 These are the stats for our 2 signed strikers, along with a rumoured loan signing: Played Goals Seasons Aidan Keena 51 15 4 Anton Dowds 56 15 3 Michael Ruth 21 1 3 If that indeed ends up being our strike force then the rest of the team had better be prepared to chip in with their fair share of goals. And that includes you, Robbie Mutch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you’re referencing the league but the season starts a week on Tuesday. Where are Holts 3 targets for every position as we were told had been identified as was mentioned on the website? If they’re outwith our reach or nowhere near good enough then it’s just another piece of fluff added to an already questionable list of ‘achievements’. Rumours on here that were spot on previously also seem to have ceased so not a good sign that any signings outside of those on trial are imminent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United will want him to progress and not have his confidence screwed any further from playing with diddies like hall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson Park Boy Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I am going to wait until I see us against Arbroath on Wednesday before commenting on the team. All we’ve seen of the Hearts game were short clips of the goals, where admittedly our defending was terrible, but it’s not fair to judge purely on that. I would imagine Sheerin will be looking for a decent display on Wednesday against a side closer to our level knowing that a large number of our fans will be watching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see him involved in the first team there. Dundee United have been claiming that for years, and used it as an excuse to hire their youth coach rather than an actual manager. Their first signing was a 40yo Charlie Mulgrew, so you can imagine how it's actually going to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t disagree with any of the 3 you mentioned, could add a couple of names onto that list too tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass’ comments recently regarding their options up top seems like unless they get another striker in Ruth won’t be coming to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Does anyone know what Gary Holt is actually getting paid for ?It looks to me like he’s keek at his job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
