Falkirk_Bairn_1983 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Dundee Utd the team to beat for me but I think we (Falkirk) have a good chance of going one better this season. Would be surprised if anyone else was good enough over the course of a season to challenge. I'd have said St Mirren were contenders after last seasons good finish but they seem to have went back the way losing their best players and signing average Championship players.

djchapsticks Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Nice to see the two easiest ways to wind up a Falkirk fan is either to suggest they'll finish outwith the top 3, or to claim you'll take a bigger crowd than them somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Utd favourites for me, if we can keep everyone fit we may run them close, my fear for us is if we get one or two injuries to key players im not sure we have the quality of replacement. Caley i think may be one of those teams where their new players take time to gel n thus may be a good bit off the pace before they click. I expect them, Morton, Dunfermline to challenge for playoffs. As for the bottom Brechin look certs to go down with maybe perennial relegation tips Dumbarton in the playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3 games but we've scored 10 in those games and played cracking attacking football, time will tell but right now i wouldnt have the Utd pair over them.

I will also add we have FINALLY added pace and width in to our team and massively upgraded our midfield from last season, looking forward to this season We are the same regarding pace and width, been crying out for it for both sides of the pitch, now we have it its great to see. 13 minutes ago, The Moonster said: Have Austin and Loy played together before? Played 3 games together so far, we have scored 10 goals in those games and 3 in 3 for Austin and 0 for Loy. Wouldn't let that figure fool anyone though as Loy has been involved in creating a lot of those goals and has been playing excellent, real bit of class. eta: just beaten by FalkirkLad there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually tend to agree with Falkirk fans in that I'd rather have Loy and Austin but I'm not sure "because they've played 3 more games with each other" is a reason for that.

Nicky Clark missed preseason last year and didn't join us until the fifth league game of the season. He still scored more league goals than Austin/Loy's combined total and Keatings/McDobald's combined total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we've seen their actual performance together which shows the potential that they have playing together in the future. If you'd asked me at the end of last season which two players I would want in there I'd have struggled with the answer. To look at it with a slightly different slant; can you imagine the hammering Houston would get if he now took the (hypothetical) opportunity to swap them with the Utd two and it turned out badly? It wouldn't make any sense to do that. I'd be interested to know why you would prefer Austin and Loy though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So....id say yes. We have only been pumped once in 10 games in the play offs a 4-0 defeat against Kilmarnock. Played 10, won 3 drawn 3, lost 4. Goals for 14, goals against 17. So....id say yes we have avoided getting pumped except the one occasion. Grangemouth doesn't have a train station. am I doing this right ? So...Not applicable So...have Austin and Loy played together. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the BBC stats if he'd played the same number of minutes as Clark he'd have scored 19 league goals last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they ever successfully defended their train station against a fat old Hibs fan? Have they been beaten by Dunfermline since May 2011, a period covering 10 meetings between the 2 clubs?
