Kircer bairn Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Putting it out there but wonder if Jordan Allan will be satisfied with a bit part role as he’s unlikely to be starting anytime soon. Personally speaking in his shoes might be looking for a loan move to January to get regular game time freeing up a wage for us to replace him on a temporary basis with a loan move for a young paces striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartleys18/19Army Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Fantastic first half performance and could have had more in the 2nd. The standard is set. Every player worked their socks off even when cruising 2nd half. I will admit Maciver didn't fuss me either way when he signed but that was an impressive header from a brilliant cross last night. He looks to be a find and is currently making the alloa fans look a but silly(however we've had plenty players been mediocre with us and move on to be great elsewhere). We now have to go to Alloa and win, the confidence should be sky high after last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that was the one of the wrong substitution decisions made last night. We all know Allan can’t play up front on his own. McGlynn should have left McIver on to partner Allan and let the wee man feed off the big man. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can this be knocked on the head as he is giving it all and i fuckin love him. When you think of whats gone before..... I get why people find him frustrating but it is worth noticing that when he get the ball there are often two or three players on him to stop the threat - that takes those players out from marking elsewhere. Training should get him to release the ball sooner I would have thought - he has been full time for all of 14 weeks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with that is he would be taking Alfie off which yes is a like for like sub in terms of skill level but it’s only worth it situations like cove chasing a game late on but it’s good giving Allan game time just to help with fitness and confidence with playing on his own 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing that noone else has missed but being on as a lone striker does not suit him - I was surprised when McIver came off and Allan came on given the two had combined so well at Cove. For now I imagine he will be OK about not starting - he is newly full time and his suspensions ruled him out for most of the start of the season games so he can hardly complain (yet). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn's managed to sign three entirely different strikers, which is a good thing for me. Allan's the perfect type to bring on if we need a goal, but not at the expense of MacIver as I think he needs him beside him. He's definitely not a one up top type. I thought we lost momentum a bit last night when the subs were made and I think McGlynn made a mistake in not keeping MacIver on with Allan. Having said that, we don't know what the situation is. Maybe MacIver had a wee niggle or McGlynn was keen to ensure that he didn't pick up an injury or whatever? Either way, it's important that the likes of Nesbitt, Oliver, Lawal and Allan get some game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulsonFFC Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Protect McIver at all costs, he will likely need to start almost every game if we have a chance of winning the league. If that means at 3-0 up Allan gets thrown on in a position that might not suit him then so be it. I don't sign-up to the fact we should keep him on the pitch just so it suits Allan when he comes on. McGlynn isn't going to drastically change his style now, we need to accept it. Edited August 23, 2023 by MulsonFFC 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpopular opinion: if there was a way we could get a player in the mould of McIver as a back up or competition, I’d look to loan Allan out. You noticed a massive difference in the build up of our attacks in the second half once McIver went off. I’ve no doubt Allan is a good league one poacher, and playing with another team where defences don’t sit in as much as they would against us, he would flourish. I’d also keep him if the budget was there but because it isn’t, and the way McGlynn plays, can’t see it working. Even if McGlynn goes 4-4-2, I’d prefer Aggyman and McIver up top with Morrison and Miller out wide. We noticed the difference when Alegria wasn’t replaced properly last year (yes that’s you Elgins Matty Wright) and I think our speed and physicality that we’ve seen so far is going to give us the best chance of getting out this bloom in’ league. Final point, I’m eating my humble pie about McIver. What an effective player he’s been so far, long may it continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Agree that MacIver and Spencer are our two most important players. Wrap them up in the thickest bubblewrap we have and protect them at every opportunity. If that means we win games 2 or 3-0 rather than running up cricket scores so be it. The squad size this season means we're going to have to be lucky with injuries in key positions. If we're chasing a game like at Cove last week we can obviously stick Allan on whilst keeping MacIver on the park as well. Once McGinn is fit again it wouldn't surprise me for him to come on for Spencer which would free up Oliver to have a more attacking role/ partner Allan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Grimsdale Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Last night was 3 points and that is all. No point winning really well last night and not beating Alloa. Focus has to be all on that now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenElves Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Random Falkirk related question. Scott Higgins(Aussie keeper) had a game where it was passed back to him and the ball bobbled over his foot and went in, who were the opposition?(guy in my quiz team was talking about it as he's friends with Scott, but couldn't remember who they were playing ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree with other posts that MacIver may be pivotal to our season. We certainly dont want him picking up an injury needlessly when the game is done and dusted. However, I also think that the 2 players need actual time togther for situations when they would need to be thrown on to chase games.
