As I said none of us go because the football is any good. I wouldn’t know, I don’t follow a team as ‘wee’ as Falkirk. How many seasons is that you’ve been in league one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Mcglynns got teams out of this league with far less resources than us in the past. He's also taken Raith to third in the championship which is higher than either Falkirk and Dunfermline have been for some time. In fact that season did he not pump Dunfermline in the playoffs before losing to a Dundee side with far greater resources. He still might get us up this season who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also casually suggested plenty of alternatives out there, care to name them? If I mentioned James McPake at the end of last season then I’m sure it would have been ridiculed. Not my job to give names but to suggest we can’t do better than McGlynn is a fallacy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many seasons is that you’ve been in league one? A few but we've still not dipped as low as 7th yet. That's for really wee teams plus 0p in the pound of course. Only wee teams would ever shaft their creditors with that kind of deal. Edited April 29, 2023 by Shodwall cat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the bar then plenty of managers kicking about who have done much more than McGlynn. I’m just concerned about what he’s achieving with us and sorry but it’s just not good enough. His record is no better than Miller and McCracken. Edited April 29, 2023 by Caractacus Potts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) The worst thing about today was how utterly predictable it was. Lots of chat about our strikers but too often our defence is the problem. Every one of them including the keeper are soft as sh*te and need replaced. McKay and Donaldson have no fight about them whatsoever and far too often we give away soft goals. McCann is ok going forward but hardly Roberto Carlos and defensively he's poor. Williamson can get off to Montrose tomorrow. I'm in the camp that thinks we have enough options going forward we just use them wrongly. 2 up front (Oliver and Burrell) gives us our best chance of scoring in games. McGlynn to blame for refusing to see that. That whole defence needs replaced though and no way its getting us past Airdrie then Cove/Hamilton without conceding more daft goals. Really hope I'm wrong but I doubt I will be. Edited April 29, 2023 by Proudtobeabairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcglynn managed to have his Raith side above both of those clowns when it really mattered despite having far less resources. They were very fortunate to have a striker that could win games for you on his own . As soon as he left the arse fell out their attempts to build a side. Only covid kept them in the running that second season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope I'm wrong but I doubt I will be. The third goal was just really poor defending from McKay. McGlynn said Billy Mackay “peeled” off him but McKay is just not picking up his man for me. He’s not even close to contesting the cross in the end. He’s actually looked at him twice then points at McCann to pick him up!

He was a big part of the problem at the back last year too, no obvious blunders this season but teams win headers/get on crosses far too easily time and again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go as far as to say that what he’s done there is as bad as what Durnan did at Patrick a couple of seasons back. He’s spotted the danger and he’s done feck all about it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only covid kept them in the running that second season. Miller and McCraken weren’t good enough but again with that in mind, McGlynn failed to beat the so called ‘dumb and dumber’ in 3 competitive matches. McManus was a good player to inherit but so was Morrison and as much as you say the arse fell out of us, M&M were sacked in 2nd only 2 points off top. That was a season without McManus. Where are we now and what’s the excuse? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just piss poor defending again and again. Defensively, McCann has been found wanting recently. As I said recently in this forum. I’m convinced we’re going to shed goals in the upcoming playoffs (soft ones at that ), so we’re just going to have outscore teams rather than nick it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's their job to stay goal side of the forward for both goals and McKay let him get away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
