I thought from Starks park the goal he scored v Raith we would of saw him get brought on yesterday. Is his contract not up in January? But this is the thing we have 5 strikers and its tough to decide which two you pick from. Duggan. His first spell was good but lost his mojo at the rovers, dunno what the story is with him not like hes injured. Boyd. Premier league striker but still find his feet for such a wee guy Anton. You dunno what your going to get if on his day he scores hes on fire Wallace. The guy a paul mcmanus works his socks off Baker. New guy only saw him yesterday need see more but im guessing hes similar to Steven in finding his feet here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthefife Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Any word of Darren Young recruiting an entirely new midfield in time for the second half of the season? The midfield is by far the weakest link of this team and on Saturday there was absolutely no such midfield whatsoever. Lewis Hunter had an absolute nightmare and was at fault for 3 of their goals. Miffed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effc loyal Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Duggan leaving in January for Australia and boyd and bakers contracts run out in January, need to re sign Boyd and baker if we wanna get play offs, need the quality and depth in squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its not only a game Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 What is darrens reluctance to bring on boyd? Boys clearly got quality, give him a go! Surprised he didn’t come on- but must be away in Jan and tbf has been fairly disappointing when he has played .Thought we should of changed the midfield as the 2 up front were beginning to make chances late on and scored 2 goals- we seemed to lose impetus when we had 3 up front.Tbf the best team won on Saturday.Although at 4-3, Agnew was unlucky,Pat should of scored and the new lad missed an opportunity and our usually excellent goalie should of done better at goals 4 and 5.Under Darren we have won 3 of the last 6, drawn 1 and lost 2- and beat them for the first time in circa 30 years! We have come a long way when we are bitterly disappointed at not coming back from 4-1 down. As i said Raith were the better team on Saturday. We need to dust ourselves down and take confidence from the attitude in the second half and the excellent wins away to Peterhead and Stranraer when we are not playing at our best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyDD Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Surprised, looking at the highlights (who can resist a 5-3?!) at how poor the East Fife goalie was. Seemed decent to me the others times i've seen him but 3 of those five are horrific from his perspective. Going to come over and make a weekend of it when Airdrie visit on Jan 11th, so if he could put in a similar performance then, that'd be grand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The midfield is by far the weakest link of this team and on Saturday there was absolutely no such midfield whatsoever. Lewis Hunter had an absolute nightmare and was at fault for 3 of their goals. Miffed. On reflection only Wallace , Dowds, and Scott Agnew gave anything like a half decent performance, the other seven that started were not at the racing. You can maybe carry a couple of players in a game but definently not seven. When you think back a few weeks ago at Airdrie the same thing happened we started of with a shape and formation that was all over the place. Both Raith and Airdrie all be it they are full time looked hungrier and a yard quicker all over the park. It’s the highs and lows of part time football. With full time hybrid models and a much larger playing budget Falkirk, Raith and Airdrie should be way out in front, we have done exceptionally well to stay on their coat tails. Darren will know that the squad needs a refresh and I’m sure he’ll be doing his best to strengthen the small squad we have. Duggan leaving will free up a salary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty tired ground but again - part time and full time isn’t a massive gap like it used to be. A perfect example is that scorer of two goals, one of the best players on the park and general thorn in the side of East Fife all afternoon was Kieran MacDonald - a part time player. Yes there is a difference in fitness and quality - but I think the small gap is a true reflection of that gap and it’s not some minor miracle that EF find themselves within touching distance of the other three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If East Fife programme is to be believed Raith have 24 players in their squad how many of them are training day in day out the fitness levels must be better than someone working a 35 hour week and fitting in training twice a week. Falkirk and Raith playing budgets will be substantially more than the likes of East Fife and Montrose. I can recall when we had Jonathon Paige on loan from Dunfermline he was a far superior player than when he joined us on a part time contract.? He lost a yard in pace and after a season or two part time he never looked the same player. Didn’t stop Airdries great scouting system poaching him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We have 6 PT players - McGurn, Miller, MacDonald, Grant Anderson, Victoria and Baird. Three of them played some part on Saturday, with MacDonald being the pick of the bunch. Miller was excellent up until his injury. Players keep themselves very fit away from football, it’s not as if they’re doing nothing except training Tuesday, Thursday. Yes there is a gain to be had from being full time or running a hybrid, but it’s not a man automatic ticket to having a better team - as we have amply shown in the previous two seasons. The advantage to be had is in the extra time the players spend together more than fitness - all of the players in the league are fit, regardless of full time or part time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Got to agree with much of the above regarding fitness not being as much of a difference nowadays. Full time players will always be better prepared, having longer to work on and focus on the next game though, and be properly relaxed going into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirscottyoung Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Was he any worse than ours? Haha did the highlights show a single time your keeper kicked the ball and it stayed in the park.Always feel it's an absolute sin when keepers can't keep it in the pitch from a goal kick. Have got 71 yards wide of pitch to aim for and somehow miss that [emoji23][emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
