ilostmyself Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I think we could do with, in this order, An experienced keeper CB/RB cover (McGlynn doesn't rate Bisland) A backup striker I think that the league will come down to fine margins and while both keepers are fine, both look like they have a mistake in them and we could do with that extra certainty at the back. both Mackie and Henderson are left footed so a right footed backup CB who is happy at RB too would be ideal. The additional striker would be nice but not essential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestAl Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 2 hours ago, Grangemouth Bairn said: You sure ? I was certain it was Brechin we signed him from then he left us for Hamilton ? Seldom right, wrong again. My apologies, you are correct - Brechin. I do recall in his first match for us at Brockville, as the players were lining up for the second half, Jim shouted to a few of us on the terraces in front of the stand “what’s the Hamilton score?”……….strange but true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatapyBairn. Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Good move, wasn’t going to get near our starting 11 so this should free up some money to use elsewhere and hopefully he’ll help cove take some points from Hamilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Thoughts on Ola then? His time with the Bairns is clearly over. His contract will end in the summer and you'll be looking for a higher calibre of player when in the Championship next season. For me, he should be a positive signing. Clearly got enough ability to stand out against other L1 teams just found it tough breaking into a strong Falkirk midfield.

HonestAl Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) With no reserve team to speak of, that’s the 3 obvious fringe players now out on loan for the rest of the season. I think we all wish Brad, Jordan & Ola well and it’s testimony to the consistent level of performance by the incumbent first team players that on-field opportunities for the trio have been limited. So, just Dylan Tait in at present but we all reckon that there will be one, possibly two additions before end of January. Cover at central defence for me would be top of the list but a difficult one as we don’t need an automatic starter in the back 4 at present.

Blame Me Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 2 minutes ago, CoveRangers1922 said: Thoughts on Ola then? His time with the Bairns is clearly over... Hopefully not. Definitely a player in there and sad to see him go as he's different to what we have but not consistent enough to start every week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawal is nowhere near our starting 11 and struggles to make the bench after 2 years. Don't think we'll be seeing him play for us again. He can be a tidy player but he's inconsistent and nowhere near physical enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent player with a good level of skill,however he is not a strong player and a stiff breeze would blow him over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly got enough ability to stand out against other L1 teams just found it tough breaking into a strong Falkirk midfield. He has a lot of raw talent in terms of skill, but he is just too weak on the ball, has a terrible first touch and doesn't have a great eye for a pass. If he can go on a run himself though he can dodge a few players really well. If he strengthens up and gets more experience I reckon he will make a good player, just now though no way he makes it into our midfield. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilostmyself Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 We surely will have some incomings now. McKay, Allan and Lawal were on the periphery but a couple of injuries and we could be left a bit short. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Don’t mind Lawal at all but makes sense for him to move on as he would be struggling to make out bench never mind the starting 11. We are well covered in his position (there’s an argument for me that Lawal is a better option than Oliver at No. 10 but that’s academic). I’d be looking at a centre half and experienced goalkeeper if possible, with McGinn leaving the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTuesday Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The keeper position is fine, Long won't be playing in those conditions again, and as we move out of winter we need a keeper who can play with his feet well to keep the movement quick which he does. I'd be spending any money we have on a number 9 if possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 As covered, great move for the guy. Looked like we’d found someone special early doors, but far too easily shuffled from outplay. With Millers arrival and the form across the centre, he was never getting a start. Tait’s arrival made him fourth / fifth choice. Wishing the guy all the best. Hoping McGlynn can pull another rabbit in terms of a CF or CB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
