Hampden Roar Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Watching the post match interview, i dunno about the rest but I felt the reason for dropping NH was a bit wishy washy, it smells a bit of contractual obligations and we have to play him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from but I think McGlynn views Long as the no 1. I don't think you bring a keeper up on loan from a L2 side in England to sit on the bench. Long started the season in goal then Hogarth took over when Long got injured. Now Long is back in despite Hogarth keeping two clean sheets back to back Edited January 7 by FK1Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Long is back in despite Hogarth keeping two clean sheets back to back I’m quite pleased with the change tbh. Both keepers are less than perfect, but Hogarth's performance at Hamilton was terrifying at times, and his confidence looked shot after the mistake. He could be a good keeper but I think it’s time to give Long another run in the side….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikes me as a contract thing too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have made sense if it wasn't for the fact that Hogarth isn't on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume they mean that Long has to be played a certain number of times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 As posted, fairly certain that it’s a contractual condition that Long starts a number of games, if not it’s a bit of a strange reply about the GK situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Grimsdale Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Another great 3 points. As others have said QOS were disgraceful in their set up. Onto Tuesday now and put the greaser in his place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly certain you are talking shite. As others have said McGlynn prefers Long. As, I would suggest, do most of the fanbase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Grimsdale Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Another interesting fact is that when we beat Montrose 3-2 there were 3700 at the game. 1000 up on that now - over 25% increase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Don’t think it’s fair on Nicky tbf. Yes he’s had his moments but so has long (Partick away, DU home etc). Both are good keepers but Nicky had the gloves. I prefer Nicky’s height if I’m honest too. Not a great approach to be changing keepers frequently either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Bairn Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I genuinely like both goalies. I don't think there's much between the two of them. I'd probably go with Nicky just because he's our goalie. He pulled off two great saves last week. If the rest of the league turn up and play like Queens did yesterday we can play Brad McKay in goals for the rest of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is in League One but some of our attacking play has been very exciting to watch. That is what Falkirk Fans have wanted to see for years. And the defence with Big Tam is pleasant on the eye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Mcglynns league game win percentage with us is now just under 62 percent which is very decent over 55 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
