Guest Ecosse83 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 If we’re good enough to go on a run then making the play offs will take care of itself. Let’s just hope we can build some momentum now and that’s what will make the difference for the play offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 16/17 season when we finished 2nd to Hibs under Houston, since then: 17/18 - Houston sacked 18/19 - Hartley sacked 19/20 - McKinnon Sacked 20/21 - Miller & McCracken sacked 21/22 - Sheerin Sacked 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertobotswana Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) I'm an eternal optimist and believe that we can still win this league. Although Cove are walking it, they are grinding out results and some of these one goal difference wins could easily be draws. They will drop points! The games against Montrose and QP are the benchmark games to see how good/improved we actually are. I believe it's possible to get full points. Weirdly, it could be DAFC we get in the play-offs and our recent bounce games against them suggests we could actually beat them. I know bounce games and actual competitive games are different but the signs are there. My only concern with MR is that from memory his team was/is Aberdeen not Falkirk. Certainly his younger brother is and they hung around with other Aberdeen fans at school. Stephen Glass is hardly setting the heather alight.

Pretty sure he was an Aberdeen fan, his brother was and they hung around with at least 2 Aberdeen fans. (Larbert esp South Broomage was a smaller place in those days). Add in the American link with Aberdeen, can you see the risk? Might be wrong but, there wasn't a huge FFC following at Larbert High. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I could've forgiven it all if he wasn't such an arrogant w**k. Away on open goal lapping it up in the summer. Mind in his first spell he came in days before the Scottish cup semi final. Alex Smith was interim and had won something like 4 games out of 4. Any sensible c**t would've let Smith take charge but not oor Gary! No, I think he was right to take the team that day as he was the manager after all. I just wish to f**k that he would have handed over to Smith at half time!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believed we could beat Celtic over 2 games and get to a cup final or actually beat rangers from 2 goals down in the Championship or Ritchie would get 2 at Ibrox. It's a push but still mathematically possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) You have to be realistic and assume Cove will double their points tally they took from their first 18 games, so 37 x 2 gets them to a very respectable 74 points. They've already won 4 games out of 4 since then so are looking good to achieve at least that. Cove do have a small squad and could have some sort of injury crisis/ collapse like we did, but I just don't see it. Even if we win every single game between now and the end of the season, we will finish on 73 points. That is why it is idiotic to suggest we can still win the league.

Dunno... free entry to the games! My point is that MR will do a fantastic job for us and I truly hope that he will get us up this year or most likely next season. We have a history of losing our best managers to SPL teams who should be doing better. Aberdeen are one such team at this exact moment. Obviously if he was a FFC fan, I would expect him to go as far as he can with us (realistically SPL) before moving on. We have been on the crest of a wave before when the rug was pulled!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 In our current predicament, 4th place will more than do. Little difference between 2nd and 4th…and that includes paltry prize money.No point setting unrealistic targets….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
