roman_bairn Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hard to believe but our first competitive game of the new season on Saturday v Stirling Albion. Assuming Sibbald has gone and no-one else comes in between now and then how would we like to see the team line up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Thompson Muirhead, Watson/Luca, Grant, Gallagher Harris, Taiwo, McKee, Hippo Loy, Austin Mitchell, Finlayson, Watson/Luca, Kerr, Craigen, Miller, Shepherd/O'Hara No place for Craigen who many think is the next nearest to a replacement for Sibbs?I also tend to prefer Watson to Luca. Was really worried by the mistakes Luca made in the games at Tannadice. He really does not appear to cope well with players running at him with pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Gallagher looks likely to have that title this season sadly with Shepard and O'Hara on the sidelines. I know that the obsessives keep telling us that nobody is ready to step up but it is quite sad for a team renowned for developing players that we are now treated to journeymen Technically none of them are "our own". TG comes from Clydebank, SS from Perth and KOH from Stirling. None of them grew up supporting Falkirk, so Sibbs is unusual in that regard, as Crunchie was before him. The best we can normally hope for is that folk who come from elsewhere develop a love of the club after spending a while playing for it. Miller & Kerr from your other post are certainly good examples of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be unfair to drop either him or craigen and taiwo has to play so we've got at least one midfielder who can tackle. Harris on the bench and will need to prove he deserves a starting spot in my mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely game time v the likes of Stirling would be the best time to play him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Also McKee didn't exactly play wide right against Dundee Utd he was more right of a midfield diamond which with Hippo in midfield we can't really do imo. Something I meant to add earlier but hopefully big Pete gets the armband this season. I'd imagine it's between him and Kerr but Grant is a natural leader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKee and craigen certainly can't and are far better pushing forward. Taiwo or in some cases Kerr will allow them to do that. I'd get Harris on once we've gone a couple of goals up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if Kerr was expected to start regularly this season so surely it has to be Big Pete for captain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the thinking of the above, I think Loy has to start and I'd start with Thomson in goals for this one and get a life familiarity to start with, giving Mitchell game(s) later. I'd buy into that with them two changes. I'd like to see Finlayson given a chance, 19yr old now and should be knocking the door especially with the competition ahead of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only based on 45 minutes in 33 degrees of heat whilst drying out but Finlayson looked the part in the game in Hungary. He certain did better then any of the other "kids" on show for me. Tall, quick and could get forward and put in a cross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 As an objective observer, I think you should take the £60k being offered for Sibbald and run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
