Haven’t been on in a while but just skimmed the last few pages, but this is the nub of it for me. As I’ve said previously, I’ve no doubt there are some on here with their own agendas and who thrive on being overly negative. Talk of sacking the manager after a friendly defeat is so unserious it shouldn’t even be entertained. However, I have to admit I’m struggling to get myself going with the hyper-positivity of “let’s just go again, get behind the team, COYB!!” from some, too, who seem to take every question levelled at McGlynn as if someone is having a go at them personally. I get that we are supporters - we are there to support, and I’ve renewed my season ticket and will going most weeks. I also get that it’s in the past and been done to death, but as much as I’ve tried (and I have), I’m having a really hard time disassociating McGlynn (and, indeed, a large number of the playing squad) from what was the most embarrassing 90 minutes in nearly two decades of watching Falkirk. That’s without even mentioning the collapse from March onwards. He’s here to stay - fine; the board are backing him to get us promoted - that’s evident and I hope it works out that way. We might not be full-time next season if it doesn’t. But it is unfortunately how I feel, and I don’t think I’m alone in that. I have no interest in being overly negative and I hope to f**k we finally get out of this shitheap league this year, but McGlynn has a power of work to do to get some fans back on board. The ending of last season was the sorest for me in a while, and I feel it’s disingenious to suggest that those who feel that way all have an agenda. It’s not true.

Springfield Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I’ve not forgiven McGlynn for last seasons horrendous league collapse and a powder puff semifinal. However we move on and although I’ve got some trepidation, he gets my full support at present. I sincerely hope he gets a correct balanced team, which I believe is still somewhat short. Very early days and you don’t win leagues in July, but some very audible groans from many around me on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 McGlynn needs to learn that he has to get the fans onside. We all want possession football, yes, but it's got to mixed with quick, attacking stuff that will create chances and we need TWO strikers in the box to finish them off. There's no reason that this can't be achieved with the players we have so please John, please, stop the needless passing around at the back, get the ball forward and play with TWO up front. Thank you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not really got the right type of centre midfielders for just a 2 in there which is annoying as we need Allan's goal threat in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I can cope with one up front. The one sticking point for me is having 11 men in our box defending corners. That is just criminal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 On 14/07/2023 at 15:47, FFC1965 said: The way I see it for a title challenge is that there are three types of team 1. Those who we should beat every time (Stirling Annan Kelty & Edinburgh). OK we will slip up somewhere but the aim should be to take 10 points off each. This 40 pts would be the bedrock of a title challenge. Ruthless and relentless winning home and away is required 2. Teams where we'd take a win at home and a draw away or otherwise 8+points from each across the season (Id say Montrose Alloa & Cove) so thats 24 points 3. Teams where wed take a home win and away defeat (QOS & HAFC) so that's 6 points from each across the season for a further 12. If my arithmetic is right that's 76 points (W22 D10 L4). DAFC got 81 last season. Anything less than 72 puts it in the lap of the gods I think this is entirely reasonable. However the flaw with it, as I'm sure you realise, is that if Hamilton and QoS do exactly as you do (share home and away head to heads with you and each other) and everything else is the same then you're going to end up with all three sides in the same approximate final points tally area. It's a title challenge but you could still finish 3rd. Surely if you want to win the league you have to target outpointing all 9 other teams on a head to head basis? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
