bairn88 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Lots to unpack today, nigh on all of it very very positive, but I’d start with Nesbitt. I honestly thought he was fairly shite, up until we made the raft of changes, and he suddenly had the best 20/30 mins of any player I’ve seen at TFS in about 3 years. He was everywhere, every single ball went through him, put in about 6 dangerous crosses (one of which finally was turned in). Well done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkzombie Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Very pleasing, delighted for Juan to get a goal he was outstanding in the 1st half. 2-1 would have flattered Queens, apart for a 15mims spell they weren't in the game. Starting to feel a bit optimistic about the rest of the season now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has responded after Airdrie. Definitely upped his game. Said to my mate, he showed up today at the point of the match he has usually fully disappeared 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegrass Bairn Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Also more than happy to eat humble pie about Alegria. Looked a different player today. Hold up play & movement great, but the real diff for me he's stronger - holding off & turning defenders, dragging them out to make space... he was really impressive today. Good as Morrison's strike was - and it was a belter - Alegria totally made it. Cult player in the making... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's possibly a few cults in that team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Just feels so strange after all this time to enjoy Saturday nights again. I’m not getting ahead of myself and I know there’s a long way to go but we now look like we are getting a squad together that will battle for each other, creates chances and has players that can score goals. Its a good feeling and I like it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange times indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Am I the only one that’s starting to fall in love with this team? After years of utter shite we’ve finally got a whole load of extremely likeable players. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 On the subject of Nesbitt, I thought he was his usual powder puff self and lacking conviction in his game. Until he moved to the right where he was like a new player, purpose and direction culminating in the cross for the goal. First game I have enjoyed in a very long time. Feels good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Excellent performance today. 3 quality goals and some lovely football played. Only slight criticism was we took a wee bit long to get our subs on second half and let them back in the game but the subs when they did come on certainly gave us a lift. Big man up front was superb first half and as has been said McCann looks a different player. Must help having two competent centre backs inside you to give you the confidence to push forward mind you. Brilliant day at the office though.

McGinn is a f*cking Rolls Royce of a player, Coll Donaldson is as calm as buggery at the back, Finn Yeats is a dream find and for once despite what we have been told by other teams fans Alegria looks like he can lead the line for us. We also now have quality off the bench as well, it’s early doors but McGlynn and Smith seem to be pointing us towards the right direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Duck Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Leon McCann was just fucking immense today, should have been MotM for me, but only Mackie would have been less than 6/10. Aiden Nesbitt- what a transformation! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
