CountyFan Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Not surprising to see a team with so much 'history' having such confident fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Falkirk fans think they're winning the league every year so I wouldn't read too much into it. It's on par with Dundee fans thinking they'll be top 6 every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagyar 2nd Tier Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 The posters on here will soon realise that Thistle are honking. As well as a manager who seems to have completely run out of ideas. Our squad is painfully thin. We will do extremely well to make top 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Still too early to tell where most teams will finish up- see County, Dunfermline, Dundee Utd, Caley, Thistle, Falkirk and Morton fighting for the top six, but it depends on who else comes into the clubs before the deadline. I still feel we're short at the back and up front. We may win a lot of games 1-0 or draw 0-0. Edited August 1, 2018 by Comrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't turn up for 6 months last season and still bagged 4th. Much tougher looking league this year though. Also a lot of shuffling players between teams whereas Falkirk have gone down a different route. Who knows, they could copy St Mirren and follow on from the joy of pipping Dumbarton for 8th with an easy title win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I think the majority of Falkirk fans don't know what to expect next season as we have so many new players, most of whom we know very little about.The cup and pre-season friendlies haven't helped as PH has rotated the team/formations so much. Some games we have looked dire first half, decent second half when he has changed players and formations.At this moment I won't make a prediction as we could win the league but on the other hand we could get relegated. The one thing I will say is it has been the most exciting pre-season in my 40 odd years of following the Bairns. 15 new signings and the engagement between the club and fans over the summer has been excellent and has kept us all intrigued.As the saying goes "Expect the Unexpected". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the saying goes "Expect the Unexpected". Exactly this! If the pre-season and LC games are anything to go by then we may well finish below Alloa. However, I think the defence could do OK and the addition of Haber should give us goals if he can form a decent partnership with Lewis. The midfield is the worry for me. Hopefully the laddie we've signed from Hearts will make a difference because I don't see where the supply to the strikers is going to come from in this area at the moment. Think we'll be seeing the ball getting played out wide early to get crosses in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Personally, I've only seen him once. He looks like he needs a lot of games to get up to speed though which also seems to be the consensus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the previous season we knocked out Hibs at Easter Road on the way to the League Cup quarter finals and finished 4 points above the relegation play-offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
