Hope he gets the chance to show what he can do, but suspect he won’t. yeah its a tricky one. Certainly 17 is a decent age to start getting some game time but then I do appreciate the correct mentality needs to be there and a level of protecting the player. Think a lot of us are so excited to have a potential decent player from the Youth Set up come through as for obvious reasons its been so long, but again need to appreciate we don't want to add pressure onto the lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’d hoped he’d empty Oliver and sign another striker who’s a goal threat - can’t see that now so hopefully Allan can get the goals. Can’t see a creative MF coming in when you have Lawal, Nesbitt and Carrol. No chance we will see another striker IMO either especially when you have 2 new and one who joined in January. If it doesn’t work out that will be on McGlynns head. Was not there last night but looking into a game in any detail after 7/8 days back training when a good slug of the team is new IMO is a waste of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I said - we have 2 strikers in the squad and also Oliver and Agyeman so he won’t sign anymore. Last night was a kick about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkBairn2021 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Caroll should start in all of the League Cup preseason games. They don't matter a f**k and we can see more what he's about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate we don’t want any pressure on the guy, but he’s already showing that he’s a clever player. Didn’t do any harm to guys like Sibbs etc given the chance ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be absolutely no pressure on him at all, the support will be 100% behind him, one of our own, willing him to do well and will happily forgive him the odd mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, we are renowned for being a fickle support but one thing we definitely do is get behind youth players, give them time and our full support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to remember the kid lost him Mum last season, that must have hit him hard.

Ultimately I will. But merely just chatting about the lads prospects this season. As usual on this thread you try to start something in a positive way and it gets misconstrued! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balde Bairn Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Worrying start, might have only been a friendly but we looked average against a team of that stature. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Very much a kick about in the park last night, so can’t take too much from it. Thought the young boys who came on did well. Allan took his two goals like a clinical number 9 which was promising to see. Gary Oliver hitting the post from 4 yards out when we’re not even in July yet did bubble some of last seasons trauma to the surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say that progress - he wouldn’t have even been in the 6 yard box last season as he’d be too busy fannying about 30 yards from goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We improved substantially when the youngsters went on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're going though to get experience then as long as they record what they see then brief highlights may be possible. There's definitely not a live stream though. Do you know if FalkirkTV were there last night? Any chance of us seeing some highlights? Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitness from the jump from part time to full time he said was the struggle in one of his interviews with Falkirk TV but he should be at full fitness now with a half a season and a whole preseason under his belt with a full time team and hopefully a starting position but even if he is not the front line will still be just as strong with or without him in it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be normal times but tomorrow they are shutting early so they can get the shop up and ready for the away kit going on sale on Friday and with all the build up around it the kit should look good possibly better than the home kit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
