Happy to start with Max though and introduce Ola through the game. He played through here in the 2-0 game? Did ok first half but will still be having nightmares about Matty Todd destroying him in the second. Wasn't he partly responsible for the chance we got the corner we ultimately scored (or "scored") from? Sorry, juat realised you meant Lawal. As you were.

SouthStander1876 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 No one on our time was particularly impressive to be fair. He's just been named our POTM in an awful month so would be surprised to see him dropped fir a secind week in a row 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For it to be virtually gone with 20% of the season remaining is very dissappointing. Dunfermline haven't done anything remarkable apart from be consistent. Something we have failed to do for 4 years now. Don't agree with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me ill to say it but only losing one league game at this stage of the season is actually pretty remarkable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it was a bit more than a decent run. we went 15 games unbeaten in League/Scottish Cup in which only 3 were draws. I am now nervous for the playoffs due to the recent form but I have a feeling everyone is overreacting (myself included) to these past few results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until Clyde I thought there was an over reaction by some, after Clyde I started feeling the same. 2 points out of 12 and zero goals scored is a bit of a worry. Winning on Saturday would be massive for morale more than anything else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of goals is worrying but we have to remember we're the second highest goalscorers in the league so we definitely have goals in us, it's just about refinding the goalscoring form 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) It’s indisputable that McGlynn has improved us significantly, but I always thought that any chat of “we’ve had a great season” was premature to say the least. Yes, we finished 6th last year, and even though the team we had was dreadful, I think it would still be fair to say that they under-performed under terrible management. McGlynn is a proper, proven, competent football manager, so he wasn’t really going to do any worse. Still lots to play, but we really need to buck up our ideas soon. Some may find this harsh, but I genuinely believe that any season Falkirk spend in the third-tier where we don’t gain promotion via either winning the league or the play-offs cannot be considered anything other than a failure. It doesn’t really matter where we finished last year, or how we played up until that point. This could, of course, be off-set by anything we might pull off in the cup, but realistically, our expectations are very low on that front. Over the months, I’ve been full of praise for McGlynn for most of this season and still think he’s done a very decent job so far, but his rigidity/stubbornness is beginning to annoy me a bit. Things need to kick into gear again, starting on Saturday. Edited April 5, 2023 by 18BAIRN76 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Offer me second and a semi-final against a beatable side before the season and I would've bitten your hand off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I think Saturday’s game is a massive tone setter for the rest of the season. If we lose to them again it’s nearly impossible to see how the players are going to lift themselves for the rest of the season, including the semi-final and hopeful playoffs. A win and decent performance would hopefully see us go through the gears again and would lift everyone. Really hard to overstate how important it is that we bounce back at the weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If professional footballers can’t get motivated for promotion playoffs and a Scottish Cup semi then they are in the wrong job. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, however I feel like it sub-consciously affects them. Going into the playoffs / semi on good form is much more desirable than the opposite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Did anyone really expect us to continue the unbelievable form we were on all season? I dont think so, We had a great run, now we're having an poor run. Plenty of time to get back to winning ways. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think had you said that when we lost to them at home most would have grabbed it with both hands. That kind of form is literally what is required to be a title contender though. It is literally the minimum expectation for Falkirk in League 1 to be able to go on runs like that. Nobody would grab it with both hands if it still meant us being 7/8 points behind in mid-March. At the end of the day, our poor spells in autumn and in the last few weeks have balanced the good run. I just don't think we can look at a season where at best taking 4 points at best from your nearest challengers and biggest rivals can be seen a a successful while they walk to the title. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
