Coventry Saint Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Fair play. As turnarounds go it's not been bad. I've seen better, but not many. You're now closer to the good playoffs than the bad ones. Any chance you could yet haul in United? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Not a chance, with them having 4 games in hand. Overtaking the Pars and even (dreamland...) QOS would mean a wee chubby though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to play for and I suspect some of those players already know whether they'll be here again next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ka202 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I was reading through this thread a few days ago. The last 11 games or so have completely turned this around. Still not out the woods quite yet but being closer to the top end playoffs than the bottom end playoffs after this horror show of a season is remarkable. Were Falkirk not something like 9 points behind Dumbarton with a couple of games in hand at the turn of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip. We haven't scored a league goal since about 3 weeks before the turn of the year where Falkirk have gone out and pumped quite a few of the teams they've played. You guys are entirely out of the woods, we're playing for time until the play-offs start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 5 behind Dumbarton having played a game more on the 25th of November (when we lost 3-0 at home to Morton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Like Ross managed in last year's January window, Hartley punting a load of underachievers seems to have given Falkirk a lift. Compare that to us where we've simply signed a load of similarly average-at-best players without moving anyone on. We could field two (weak) teams. Pre-season the manager's mantra was "quality over quantity" but that has gone out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, who could have predicted that signing jobbers like Craigen, Vincent and Aird would fail to propel you Preemership-ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be astonished if AJ could remember all the players' names. Best of all he has left us with only three strikers, none of whom score goals any more.

It's actually astonishingly Houston-like. An increasing number of randomly unimpressive players in a bloated squad, and strikers becoming jaded and clearly not up to it any more (Baird / McHugh for us last year, McManus, Clark for you).

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Fair enough. I think you're safe now. Would welcome that slump before we play you. You don’t need any help, the league is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their players seem to have chucked it and we've taken 9 points out of them over the last 6 games. We also came from further back to catch them last season IIRC. Although staying ahead of Inverness along with passing the Pars and Queens seems a step too far though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Behave. They're 7 or 8 points ahead and have 4 (four) games in hand. We're finishing somewhere in the 6th-8th no man's land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
