I 100% agree with you. But I'd argue I'd have Buchanan over Durnan and (especially) Hall. Doyle is better than Mercer. You can't suggest Longridge is any worse than Leitch? Of course, we'd have hoped M&M could have signed better than any of these players mentioned. But they made decisions to actively keep the worst of the bunch!

Leitch and Longridge are different players. Really it’s Morrison who has replaced Longridge in the squad.

Longridge had 1 good game in 5 if he was lucky. Nowhere near good enough for one of the higher paid players at the club. Morrison has delivered much more in that position.

Stuart Taylor, if it is to be him, doesn’t fill me with much confidence. If he’s been working with Paul Lambert, then both will have been hounded out of all their previous clubs. Ipswich were laughable bad under them. However, he would get my support as all new manager’s deserve. 

I didn't see the game today. What was the context of his appearance on FTV, was he doing commentary? Does seem a bit strange, given that it takes no great leap of imagination to think he might be a candidate for the job, yet Holt was talking about following a structured recruitment process. Could just be coincidence, but his name has also been mentioned on here by a couple of posters who seem to have some idea of what is going on. Might be something in it.

He was pretty honking with Dundee was he not. Did he not start the job mcpake finished.

Yes, he was, in the top league mind you. But to question what McCann has done to deserve to manage a league 1 side, is what is confusing me.

I might be remembering totally wrong here but was there not something mental like we had to pay McCann money to terminate his contract so he could go work as a pundit when he was a player?

He was interviewed at HT as though he was a fan taking in the game. He was asked if he had any plans moving forward and he said he didn’t like not working and was looking forward to being back in work soon with Dave Mac saying he was always welcome at the Falkirk Stadium. Why would he be allowed at a game that’s behind closed doors? Unless of course he’s scouting someone for a team. Just makes Holt’s comments yesterday about this proper recruitment selection be a lot of rubbish cause I can’t imagine any other potential candidates were there today.

The irony if Francis was to make a difference. 
 

Tragic performance second half... yet again. 

Francis lacks some basic skills but he has presence pace and can carry the ball well and quickly. Worth a go at this level as we just need to get the ball up the park - seems to me in this league most goals come from mistakes or loose balls in the box .

Well he's had one gig and been hopeless so I'd prefer someone with a bit of form but yes there's no reason he shouldn't be managing a forfar or Peterhead .

He's must probably scouting for sides the now whilst looking for something more permanent.

I just want this season done. If by some fluke we get to the playoff final we will get absolutely rag dolled.

My fear for this club is the decision making now. Anyone with any nouse, understanding of the game would have tipped these out last summer.

They have gone unchecked and signed an absolute gang. For that the Board has to take full responsibility. It was bad before but god it is ten times worse now.

Why any fan has any confidence in them getting it right next season is beyond me.
 

Don’t the play offs work differently down here in the shit leagues? 
 

I got the impression there might be a few back soon with Holts reaction in his interview there. We’re shite but so are everyone else!

2nd bottom v 4th and 2nd v 3rd all over two legs.  Depends on whose fit. We beat Arbroath so no reason we couldn't beat Morton or Ayr if we have players fit.

Aye just make the play offs and get at least Telfer and Dixon back and we might put up some sort of fight.

Connolly for me too. Width/threat from both sides and Connolly found a scoring touch of late. We generally lack the late runner into the box and he does that well.

Lewis seemed to think Connolly was out for the season.

Aye would have been good to get him back and use the young lad Fotheringham from the bench as an impact player.

They got pumped the day. No pressure and none of the players are his.  He signed a pile of shite at Dundee.

If someone is working for us as a Head Coach with Holt as DoF then they wouldn't necessarily be making the signings.

That's why I very much doubt McCann would come anyway. Just can't see him working under a dof.  Could see him falling out with a dof quite easily.
