FFCinthearea Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I don't think I've ever seen Falkirk beating Stranraer convincingly and playing them away fills me with a little dread given our track record down there. I still expect us to win but it will be a tight affair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a wee look on soccerbase and it was 97/98 league cup. Few strange results over the years. None more so than in the 1976/77 league cup group stages when Falkirk beat Stranraer 5-1 at home only to get pumped 5-0 at Stranraer.

I mind a challenge cup game we got pumped out on pens. Coco McDonald missed I think. Midges were feckin horrendous. That was midweek.

Bigbrbairn Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Think it should be hammered into the players that our away form must be bettered. We must set up to attack early on. Our defence has a reasonably solid base but our midfield although full of talented players don't seem to do their bit away. I would play connolly and Louis as wingers, gomis in the middle holding and try tidser in his favoured position as link midfield play maker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranraer away fills me with dread but for other reasons and a different kind of record. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott666 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Stranraer with only 3 defenders available so McManus wil probably go into central defence in front of Currie. Pigatiello will hopefully be back alongside Thomson, Hilton and Stirling in midfield with Elliot and either Dangana or Stewart up front. Considering all the players out injured and Cummins suspension thats the strongest starting line-up IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
