TheRoundO Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Two strikers and a midfielder is a pretty good haul from the exercise. Let’s hope they all work out. Promising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farflung lichtie Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 A passable performance yesterday tho preseason games mean so little (surprising that the home fans reacted so badly to a Balde’s response to a bad challenge). Falkirk seemed to be able to bring on plenty of subs yet we had relatively few. We definitely need some defensive cover, even with Hammy returning. We were opened up a few times at the back tho the customary superb last ditch blocks and tackles meant no further goals conceded. Is there enough bite in midfield ? (Balde brings this and Gold - is that enough?). Is a real wide player still required? I thought Keghan did well coming on so maybe one option back in play. Having three ‘proper’ attackers is encouraging tho we need to see how they perform and link in real games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again if these guys are moving up from down south might be back home visiting family, also don’t think he really needs another trial game we know what we’re getting and what he can do and he knows what we’re all about too. Maybe in negotiations with him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just taken the Megabus up the road and is chapping on doors isn't he. I wasn't at Balmoral yesterday, was at Links Park. Supposedly he was OK but absolutely nothing more. Got a name for him?

Hopefully we send him packing ASAP Not a clue who he is but he’s got a very strong southern English accent. And yeah that sounds like him, I don’t think he’s terrible but we needed much better if we didn’t want to have a similar season to last. Heard he was also training with Livingston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about centre midfield area, worry we’re a bit soft in there, Jacobs isn’t the answer, or McKenna, would prefer him further forward and the same with Allan, would prefer an actual left sided defender until Hammy returns Edited July 16, 2023 by ecto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Stewart was caught out badly for the Falkirk goal yesterday. A LB is an absolute priority. I like Stewart a lot but he’s not and never will be a LB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtgilphead Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Falkirk highlights are up. Apparently Gaston started, and was substituted by himself after their goal, and the first half had twice as many highlights as the second (perhaps because Falkirk weren't very good in the second half) In particular, they didn't show the bad foul on Balde or the handbags involving Tam O'Brien. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a lot of good passages of play in the second half that never came to a shot on goal and Falkirk didn’t really do anything second half either. We finished Gold Dow Balde Jacobs McKenna and Turan Dow really impressive centrally (and deeper than McKenna) the game went through him I think right now Gaston Steele Little ToB Stewart Balde Dow Stowe McKenna McIntosh Bird Is the team I’d like to see us start with against Cowdenbeath. Dilemma when we have another left back in regards to both Hammy and Stewart and also a dilemma in regards to what we do when Slater returns. You’d think he’d be in the team every week but there’s so many players in there. Really hope we give Stowe plenty of chances too we need one player in the side like him. If he was to just get the last 30 in games would never see the best of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
