He mentioned in the interview with The Falkirk Herald that he’s looking to move to a back 4. As long as Robson stays in the team I'll be happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We probably have 12 players now who are the equal of what most other clubs in this league have. QotS demolished what was supposedly the best team in the league, when in fact, what the beat was the most expensive team in the league. QotS could just as easily be beaten by Alloa the next time they meet. There really isn’t a whole lot in it other than the awfulness of ourselves and a Partick. McKinnon has the “difficult second album” thing of having to set aside the plaudits for having made Hartley’s joke signings half way competitive, and now prove that he can bolt together a Championship side capable of (hopefully) overtaking a side currently six points ahead of us, and keeping Partick trailing behind us. We will fail if we keep trying to play on the break. At home, we absolutely have to be on the front foot, we simply must start to win more games than we lose and draw combined. The next 15 games has to see us win 8 of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow_bairn Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 As long as Robson stays in the team I'll be happy.What is it with the love in for Robson. Mediocre at the back and not much better going forward. Playing a blinder once every 10-15 games isn’t enough.I think a lot of the young lads in our support appear to adore the guy, seems to give him a pass when he plays badly. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't defend and is average at best going forward. Beyond me why he seems to have become the star of the team. I think the bench is where he'll end up very soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn Necessities Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We need more players. Still a lot more in this window imo. 3 or 4 starters short of where we need to be to move up the table I'd still take 9th and the playoffs if offered right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tirso Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 By far and away the biggest weak link in the team yesterday . Too lightweight. He looks like a trier but seems totally out of his depth to me -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Not sure about mclean. Nae left foot and gave the ball away an awful lot. Osman was way off the pace and should never have started such an important game. Like the look of mckenna and waddington although we need to get far more of the ball to him. Paton was excellent when he came on and shouldve started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Osman was poor, looked completely lost rather than just not match fit, in fact I think Bauben looked a better player when he first started. Paton for me always starts a game strong then goes missing in the 2nd half, if he is going to get a game I think he is better coming off the bench. Thankfully we didn't try and keep Hazard, he looks half asleep and even worse than what we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMBairn Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I don't think Robson reminds me a bit of Leahy, he will be exposed defensively but does offer a good option going forward with overlapping and crossing. On the other side Kidds defending is probably worse than Robsons and his attacking threat is non-existent as he can barely keep a cross in the park, the one he skewed causing the thistle keeper to tip it over the bar yesterday sums it up, we had 3 players in the box, one unmarked on the pen spot and he couldn't pick out any of them from about 10 feet away.

Osman might be good in a functioning midfield but don't fancy him to drag us out of a hole. Not up for it. I wish we could get McKenna on a 3 year contract. Free money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's similar to Leahy in that he's better going forward than defending. Having said that, Leahy was far better in an attacking sense and could actually defend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLean will probably be quite a frustrating player, like all wingers at this level he will look good in some games and hopeless in others. I do think it's worth remembering that he hit the shot that led to the goal last week and the cross that led to the goal this week so he has already contributed and if he can improve he could be a decent player for us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitbafollower Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 McKenna may well be the right back we need on a back 4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
