FFC 1876 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Should get a fairly good idea of who's not wanted in the premiership tonight given they've had a fair few weeks off to recover from any injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Dundee trial didn't work out for Paul Watson with Scott Burns speculating today Hamilton, Ayr & Queen of the south are vying for his signature.

Perhaps they think it's not as much a priority now with Dowds back? Just spit balling here and I don't agree with that approach but God knows what the guys challenged with recruitment are or are not in the process of. Or it could just be folk talking complete shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Liam Craig, Paul Watson and any sort of GK upgrade would go a fair way to plugging out main issues. I expect to get none of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new GK, Paul Watson, Liam Craig and a decent striker would be lovely. Don't think any will come to fruition Getting to the tickley bit of the window now that winter break is done and halfway through. I'm sure there will be some unrest if we are heading into the last week with no additions other than ATS and a recalled loan player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has scored 14 goals and is currently the league top scorer for a team that aren’t up the top fighting for the title. Im not advocating we should sign him but if your job is to get the team performing better and that’s all your basing signings on, then who could the manager get that’s better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that we would have appointed a manager who has enough contacts in the game to have a number of options not just the one we all know about that would split the fanbase and cost us a sizeable fee to get. If our recruitment plan is go get goodwillie and if we can't get him then get a goalkeeper as we've run out of ideas on the striker front then we're in big trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all other parts of the team were working and you were lacking goals then I'd buy your argument but our misfiring in front of goal is a consequence of the rest of the team so that should be addressed first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance. He didn't move from Inverness to Kelty Hearts for the scenery. He'll be on a very tidy part time packet along with whatever he does outside of football and then he's also from fife so he's nice and close to home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were misfiring in front of goal till the last two games, which is why they may have been interested. Maybe the management team have decided well score enough now so no need for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, for us to get a striker of that quality in January is almost impossible. I can understand why they’d possibly want him as there are no strikers out there that we could attract at the same level that is proven. You may get lucky and get an unproven striker that comes in and proves he is up to the task, however, that is a rarity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have so much against us. Management team on short contracts. Crap squad, Low position in a lower league and a near mutinous support with a short fuse. These facts will be a factor on signing or not signing for Falkirk. Sad but that is the way it is. Here's hoping ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Much speculation about the players we need to bring in, and although there’s a still a full week + It’s pretty much a given that players/agents will be at auction. With our known troubles and pathetic player retention I’m starting to have concerns that first targeted players have KOd us, and we’re now looking at second choices. I really hope I’m way off mark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Saturday in isolation; I’d say the back 3 were more at fault for every goal ahead of Martin. You could argue he was at fault for the third but ATS made an absolute c*nt of it on the lead up to the goal. Maybe unfair on ATS as he’s probably not fully fit but he’s been abysmal as a centre half so far. Baffling signing.
