Springfield Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 We are half way through season and if we have aspirations of getting promotion, the last thing we need is a draw. We need to start winning games and it’s pointless beating teams one week then drawing or losing the next Saturday. There’s very little give in the league so far and apart from Fife and the bottom two teams, arguably there’s five/six teams who probably fancy a play off spot. Fife will be happy to take a point and as we saw last game, a difficult team to break down, so hoping McGlynn has the balls to have a go……….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong selections at times yes but not intentionally not trying to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could still make up the gap with a draw as Dunfermline will drop other points but we would need to be consistent against other teams. A win makes a huge difference and McGlynn has to go for it. He has to do what it takes to win, if that means shitfesting it then shitfesting is fine with me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the two games we've played against them we've taken the game to them on both occasions. Not sure why it would be any different on Monday other than making sure we keep a clean sheet this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Let’s not forget making the play offs this season will be progress, Mcglynn has probably done better than expected after the last few seasons! Sometimes I need to remember that after a poor performance and result, I’m knee jerk sometimes and I know that (especially after a few beers) If we get beat on Monday we are probably out the running for the title but hopefully it won’t result in a meltdown on here.

We are 7 points behind and a draw is only good to the Pars. We need to start clawing back the deficit as they are showing no signs of a slump and we are showing no signs of going on a winning streak. He may have been handed a wildcard with the way Henderson played in midfield against QOS and in my opinion he has to use it. McPake knows what to expect and will set them up accordingly. It’s up to McGlynn to come up with something different to get us a victory that in my opinion we need. Yeah, I get all that, but McGlynn will only have a real go if he gets a couple of players in. He is a cautious manager, and will want to avoid defeat. He knows full well that losing means for FFC………the title challenge being effectively dead in the water for another season. Get a point, and we are still in it (just). Of course, winning would be perfect, but I have seen nothing in McGlynn’s selections that has ever pointed to him “going for it”. Maybe he will change his approach for this game, but he won’t like doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not. There’s no point in everyone expressing the need for patience before the season starts, and then go apeshit because we are likely to end up 2nd, 3rd or 4th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you are coming from but I’m not sure even a point keeps us in it given how inconsistent we have been all season. I agree with the previous post regarding play offs being an improvement and I’ve said that I think McGlynn should stay even if we don’t go up this season. I think for this game he has to change something and have more of a go. If he goes with the usual suspects, especially in midfield and we get beat I think he would get more flack than if we went and attacked them from the off.

Guest Brockvillenomore Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I don’t think we’re cautious or defensive at all. Some statistics. https://spfl.co.uk/stats-centre https://amp.sportsmole.co.uk/football/scottish-league-one/best-attack.html 1. second highest goal scorers one behind Edinburgh who have played a game more. 2. second best in goals conceded. Some way behind DAFC to be fair. 3. mid table for clean sheets. 4. the most shots at goal and on target. 5. the most points from losing positions. 6. low figures for reds, yellows and fouls conceded. It’s all about opinions but compared with the rest of the league I think @Duncan Freemason is off the mark. We’re not as free flowing as some of the teams we’ve watched in the past, I agree, but in this league we are one of the most expansive and creative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ? For me there’s playing with two up front and having a real go. “taking the game to them” in my opinion isn’t the same.

So playing three forwards rather than two is not having a go? Bizarre “Mike Bassett” thinking IMO.

JulioBairn Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Looking forward to the transfer window opening. I’m convinced a right back will arrive and it’s another chance to rid ourselves of some of the leftovers from last year and replace them with footballers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I think its most likely that Henderson will start in midfield but I also wouldn't be surprised if he is back in defence. A possible tweak would be for Mackie to move to left back (where McGlynn signed him to play) and for McCann to come into midfield alongside McGinn. Against QOS, he moved into that central position a lot until Henderson came on and I wouldn't be surprised if McGlynn sees that as the solution to the McCann/Mackie problem that leaves one of them on the bench at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I don't agree that we took the game to Dunfermline in the home game. We had 1 shot on target, they had 4 and we spent the day lumping long balls up to Burrell that came to nothing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team has lacked physicality all season in midfield so until/if McGlynn can get someone in beside McGinn then for me Henderson is the best option.
