FalkirkBairn2021 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Our list of players who absolutely can't start next week is lengthy.. I don't think I know where we go from here. Another season in L1. Maybe in another 2 windows we can overhaul the squad entirely but it's looking Groundhog Day in that regard. Roll on next season. Again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Does anyone know why Lawal was booked today incidentally? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabba Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 McGlynn putting Yeats to right back didn’t help today. Took all the legs out of midfield leaving only Hetherington and McGinn. McGuffie, Morrison and Nesbitt all playing further forward left them far too exposed. I get what was said about Morrison creating chances in the first half but they all ended in him producing absolutely nothing. He needs to realise that he must do better or he won’t play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put in a bit of a lunge on a boy and the ref played on. Didn't think it was too bad tbh but was all the more confusing that the ref didn't book him until about 3 minutes after it happened; he'd even forgotten who it was himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I would like to see McGlynn go with a team that consist of mainly the players he has signed and see how we fair. I know it’s all down to injuries but at least it would be worth trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea and Busquets Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Next Saturday I’d like to see (dependant on injuries) Morrison Williamson Donaldson Mackie McCann McGuffie Yeates McGinn Morrison Burrells Oliver I don’t think we have any other wide midfielders at present who could replace Morrison or McGuffie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bairnardo Posted August 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2022 Think there's a few folk confusing acceptance and expectation here, and also buying into the perpetual shite occasional visitors to this thread fire in without actually reading it. No one is suggesting a divine right to promotion, no one is refusing to accept where we find ourselves. What people, and it should be all of us, expect is that a club who routinely outspend the rest of the division, largely using the money fans as customers put in, mount a season and a challenge which measures up to that. That is absolutely a Falkirk supporters right to expect, and doing less is demonstrably a failure as per budget vs expectation at literally every single level of football. You can both know why we are where we are, and expect the club to make a better fist of improving the position. The two things aren't mutually exclusive. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s all down to injuries but at least it would be worth trying. We're at the stage where last season's lot have simply run out of road. There is no way back. Therefore McGlynn's team selection from now on should really come down to this: how many players who have not yet proven themselves to be conclusively useless can I get into the starting eleven? Essentially, he must select a team, in whatever formation is most suitable, that consists of as few of Williamson, Hetherington, Nesbitt, McGuffie and Morrison as possible. Personally I'd chuck Alegria into that category as well, whilst Oliver hasn't done much to dissuade me that he's a typical lower league jobber, plenty of graft but zero quality, but they have both been signed by him so unlikely. So whilst I am pretty sceptical about the two signings made this week, the jury is still out on them, so they get in, whilst last season's lot have long since been found guilty and need locking up with the key chucked away. But injuries are absolutely killing us just now. Surely next week as a minimum he'll start the likes of Burrell and Lawal (who I thought showed a couple of flashes of promise today) and give McCann a chance. Is there even a case for starting a couple of youngsters, could they be any worse than some of the dross on display, at least that would get the fans onside. Incredible to be in this situation in the first week of August. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that analysis and it did seem strange. A lot happened to keep play going after the lunge and maybe the Ref was checking with the lino ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Interesting there is no McGlynn video up yet. Maybe he'll decide to keep his mouth shut and do his talking elsewhere; ideally that means getting rid - more realistically, he jettisons the offenders out the team next week and they never don the strip from the start again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 1 hour ago, DA Baracus said: Are you genuinely saying that two players are why you were shite last season and why you've been pumped today? No, I am saying that those two are the remnants of last season’s crap, neither are team players, both are capable of ducking out of difficult moments, and seem to be ever presents in our most horrible performances. For me, both are ok if you have others to do the work, and at no time should they be on the park at the same time. That ok? Or are you still wanting it distilled down to something else? Going to ten coupled to McGlynn chucking players on regardless of shape or discipline played a big part too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
