Bluegrass Bairn Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 On a brighter note, watched the highlights -again - and loved Morrison chirping over at the Montrose GK after burying the penalty. Could see Morrison constantly getting frustrated with the timewasting - he was at the ref a good few times. Karma! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we score, I shoot everything that I can as the more pictures I can get of happy Falkirk players the better. When the opposition score, I keep my finger on the trigger for a couple of seconds only. I usually keep one opposition pic from a "recording history" perspective but once I have it I don't want any more. Ah.. Gutted!! It was just after they scored the opener. He was around the centre circle area and started bouncing about facing the KM7 stand cupping his ears. Normally it wouldn't bother me, but he never showed that much energy or passion for us when he was stealing a wage! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t think McCann should be more switched on then that’s fine but wouldn’t say it’s a nonsense. Both him and Lang have been excellent so don’t want to be over critical but it’s moments like that, which can cost us points. Thankfully it didn’t matter in the end but any lapses next week will be more costly. Our midfield didn’t cover the Montrose players run don’t think McCann can be blamed for that Edited October 1, 2023 by grumpyoldman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, he should be tucked in, in line with Lang and there to cover but he gets caught napping and by the time he reacts, it’s too late. You can see Lang throw his arms out to McCann when he turns and realises he isn’t there to cover so seems like he expected him to be there too.

Springfield Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 McCann or anyone playing LB or RB roles, should always be looking at covering the space if left or exposed by the CBs. But give some credit to Montrose. We’re vastly improved with Lang so let’s move on. Walking out on Saturday was as good a feeling I’ve had since Jeffries / McCall. Hamilton are flying so it’s going to be a hellava game. Confident as long as we keep up the application and desire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said before that McCann impresses going forward but I have concerns re his ability to get back and cover. I guess this is why McGlynn appears to prefer Mackie although I think both have their weaknesses…… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, only problem there is he may be better aware but Mackie Isn’t the best at defending with a tendency to make mistakes. So McCann still the better option but he will need to be better at tracking back for Hamilton or it something that they may well exploit….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’re saying that if an opposition midfielder ventures up the field during an attack our midfielders shouldn’t track back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I don't have a big problem with the second goal tbh, it was all a bit unlucky. Yeats should probably challenge for the first header a bit better, Lang then makes a rare mistake charging in and McCann should be tucked further back. Frustrating as much like Montrose's first goal it really came out of nothing. I think it essentially comes from having an attacking mentality and a desire to win the ball back as quickly as possible, which I'd rather have than not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that. The player in question is part of their front line and should be covered by our defence. If Spencer was to mark him all the way then would cause a gap in midfield. Spencer is there to pick up midfielders that are pushing forward, as you say but that’s not Lyons. If it’s a translation from attack and Spencer is covering McCann then he should follow him but that’s not the case for this phase of play. This explains it a bit more… https://www.coachesvoice.com/cv/the-4-2-3-1-football-tactics-pochettino-guardiola-flick-southgate/#:~:text=The back line of four,the spaces between the lines. What are the out-of-possession responsibilities of the players in a 4-2-3-1? The back line of four will defend as a compact unit. The full-backs tuck in, and will defend against wide players in one-on-one situations. The central defenders will mark the opposition’s strikers. The double pivot provides protection ahead of the centre-backs, covering the spaces between the lines.’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMBairn Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 In terms of that second goal it didn't impact the result in the end so not worth getting too worked up about bit there were a few mistakes. Land doesn't need to charge across the park, McCann not on the cover and Spencer unaware of the boy peeling off the back of him and doesn't track the run so McGlynn won't be happy. I think he will boot the baws in the order Lang, McCann, Spencer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes without saying for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
