Another impressive aspect for me is not his undoubted success in bringing in players better than what we have seen in the recent past, but his man management in getting performances out of a few who were pretty much written off last season.

Nesbitt, McKay and McCann have all made contributions and performances miles ahead of anything they gave us last season. That cannot simply be down to them being being “terrible”. A huge component in that has to be how they were managed last season. I think it’s fairly obvious that McGlynn possesses man management skills miles ahead of last season’s two coaches.

Three! 😬

I’ve been saying that for years now, there’s a good reason why a lot of players we’ve had on our books go on to play in divisions above after being written off whilst with us. I know the previous board blamed it on them raising their game against us but that was nonsense, they played well most weeks because they were in a team that was better assembled and better coached. Mcglynn and smith have definitely instilled a better mentality along with actual shape and tactics along with some quality additions like McGinn.

We've all been complaining about Morrison's decision making but there was nothing wrong with his thought process for his goal, he was all on his own with 3 Queens players closing in on him so he let rip and scored a belter. Mind you, he's a greedy bugger so it was probably the only thing on his mind! 😋

Also, I love Sky Sports Football's description of Lawal's goal:

Goal! Falkirk 3, Queen of the South 1. Oluwasegun Lawal (Falkirk) header from very close range to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Aidan Nesbitt.

Nothing like underselling your product, eh?

Well done guys, up to 3rd place in Lesgue One above Edinburgh City and Montrose 😂

This is the league you guys belong in. You’re a joke club. 

The fact you've felt the need to come on a fishing trip down here on a Saturday night after your own teams just won speaks volumes.

Captain nae pals.

Thought we absolutely bossed the game, was a penalty and gave them a chance which tbh didn’t come to much. Three excellent goals, and thought M&S got the team/tactics/subs spot on. Not one failure, and with M&S relentlessly at any player for losing a ball, or not tracking players, what a difference in the players application, endeavour, and desire.

Yes, it’s only a few games in, but what a difference around the stadium at full time, never seen so many happy faces 🥳

Anyone else thinking the crowd was more?

Over the moon Alegria got his goal today as he's been getting unwarranted stick on here left right and centre when in reality his performances have been decent. Also really liked his post match interview talking about just continuing to work hard and the rest will follow.

I wasn't able to make the game today but it's the first time in god knows how long I've not been shitting my pants at 2-1, I had faith in the team we now have to go on and win the game as opposed to capitulating and losing it.

One point off the top with the scum still to play, COYB!

 

I can't believe that would ever happen.

Aye we are a joke team pal. Your team has had a good result and seem to be doing well. Yet you find the time to visit our page and leave a comment like that, think the joke is on you ya walloper.

Btw still got the Celtic shop at your place? Think that is more of a joke tbh

Its what I thought from the KM7 at the time. A lazy leg stuck out that didn't need to be. Regardless of the strength of the contact, Mackie has been absolutely suckered into it and can't complain.

I really hope Williamson is back next week. Mackie has been quality, but he's less good at CH than Henderson and less good at LB than McCann. If Mackie and McGuffie drop out next week for Williamson and Henderson you will probably be looking at our best 11 for the first time (notwithstanding Kennedy who I haven't seen/know little about)

Still think MacKie is better defensively than McCann but McCann has the jersey and been excellent the last three games. 
Still worries me if the Fife long ball merchants target him on the 17th. By all accounts yesterday it was long balls and long throws all afternoon

Yep, McCann has played well recently but I’d have Mackie at left back all day long at east end.
