Your statement regarding the mistakes McGlynn made against Dunfermline was probably up there with the most insane statement on here for a long time - and that is saying something. The club has started to turn the corner in case you didn’t realise - well done my mates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 We're a Scottish League one side the chances of us getting hold of a manager that doesn't make an arse of it now and again are very slim. It's frustrating when it happens but all you can really hope for in a manager at our level is someone that gets the majority of decisions right which mcglynn has certainly done so far. Probably keeping the same side against Dunfermline as we had previous week's was an error as teams do find you out so it's necessary these days to keep changing things about a bit unless your side is far better than anyone elses. Mcpake won the day against us but then by the sounds of it had a mate against Clyde with his team selection so mcglynn ain't the only one that will make mistakes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I genuinely think that anyone in the top four identifying/getting one or two finds in at the transfer window, will be not be far away from winning the league. There’s little between the teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) I'm hoping for a right back and another striker in January. McGlynn only plays with the one up top but it would be good to have another option as if either of Burrell or Alegria get injured we've got nothing on the bench. Hogarth will most likely go back to Forrest with Morrison back fit unless they plan on trying to move Paddy Martin on before his contract runs out in the summer. Would be great if we could move a few others on in January to make room for more quality. Edited November 14, 2022 by FFC 1876 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 No point in keeping Hogarth if we have two fit keepers of our own. Now that it seems every team in the league is going to stand off us and defend deep I would like to see us going 3-5-2 and really take the game to the opponents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 So far I'd say McGlynn has shown a willingness to change things and has learned from mistakes he's made in games. That'll hopefully lead to a settled team/system soon and we'll go on a bit of a run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the defending doesn’t come into it. It’s a L1 side scoring a great goal against another L1 side who were above us in the league table. I certainly wouldn’t mark the goal down in terms of quality because the defending wasn’t up to scratch. If it had been scored against a non league side, then fair enough, but not when it was against a side above us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some of the contracted players not in the manager's plans will be open to a pay off, loan deals come the transfer window to allow the funds for one or two new players in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 If starts with 2 strikers then there's nobody to come on in 2nd half. Both had recent injury issues as well so doubt Mcpake would look to start them both. Probably wouldn't be wise to either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be spitting feathers if we conceded both our goals on Saturday, both great goals but the defending is poor for both. Both goals similar in that they beat one man with skill and have a license to do what they want Edinburgh have done remarkably well considering they sneaked in the back door promotion wise and have had plenty off field issues but they'll be bottom half of the table for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Slight delay this week but John and Ross serve up your weekly slice of Falkirk FC pizza and this week it comes with extra Ola and a handful of McCann as they look back on the FC Edinburgh game (or whatever they are calling themselves this week). They have the launch of the Falkirk FC strip World Cup plus looking ahead to Clyde on Saturday Expect the Unexpected! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FFC1965 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I said at the start of the season that it would be 5 teams (DAFC, FFC, MFC, AFC & QOS) going for the top 4 places (apologies to Alloa & Embra). As things stand we're 2nd out of those 5 as well as 2nd "actual". I'm surprised that we are 8 ahead of QOS and 5 ahead of Airdrie at this stage. Equally I didnt think that DAFC would be as far ahead of us as they are. Based on season so far I believe we can win it but our inconsistency suggests otherwise for as long as DAFC dont have a wobble. Mind you I've just seen Clyde's two goals on Saturday and the defending was awful, so heres hoping. Anyhow If we don't win it I honestly cant see us being lower than 2nd in which case we'd be in decent playoff nick. I cant see any of the non playing dead wood being moved on in january so that will mean no new recruits either. Overall the recruitment and style of play has been good (Kelty based blips aside) and you know it's nice to be looking forward to games with a decent team rather than worrying about what calamity is about to unfold next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
