Rocco Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 We are pish! M&M have a lot of work to do, but unfortunately, I think they’ll be out their depth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's anywhere near fit, much like some others. I just hope we're not repeating that a month or so from now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Our play is really slow and laboured, we don't get the ball forward fast enough. Apart from Morrison no pace about the team and the back 4 and keeper look shaky. Early days and hope to see lots of improvement going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clear 5/10 for me. Mutch of course isn't normally shaky, although he may now have lost his place to Morrison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Alston has had no pre season. Honestly think the management duo are completely clueless. We pumped forfar 6 0 last game we played them at home funnily enough with gomis on the bench and not paired with feckin miller. It doesn't feckin work playing the two of them in the middle of the bloody park. Wake up for feck sake. If I was the yanks if be getting those two out the door asap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegrass Bairn Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 ...And there we go. Back to what has come to be our new normal in the past three years. Can't remember the Forfar keeper having to make a save in the game. Other than Miller smashing that shot against the post, which he made out of nothing, did we actually create a chance in the second half? Not even a good chance, any chance? Effing dire. If M&M are really serious about "not carrying passengers", we'd better get busy in the free agent market. Got to hope Phil Rawlins wasn't watching that pish, it'd put him right off. Lamentable stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomis and Miller would work fine if Gomis stayed forward. Today though when one was on the ball the other was moving backward to fill the hole rather than sticking to their positions. I don't think we'll see them play together once Alston's up to speed and Connolly's back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the management team dont realise that then God knows what they are doing. Last season when we played like that on a number of occasions McManus pulled us out a whole. That ain't going to happen this year. Edited October 24, 2020 by Shadwell Dog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we're not repeating that a month or so from now.I’ve seen him about 3 games now, I don’t think I’ve seen him finding a man with a pass yet, constantly losing the ball then putting the already shaky defence under pressure. He was blowing out his arse after about 15 minutes today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, due to injuries, the only other option they had would have been to start Leitch in place of Gomis and I don't think that would have worked either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted with a point overall though. Thought our defending was decent. We're not looking too exciting going forward but being a lot less soft centred so far is in approvement on last year. Hoti looks a good player, thought Irvine did well mopping up too. Would like to see Antoniazzi get a chance ahead of Barr There's definitely improvements that can be made to that team. I'm still none the wiser as to what Barr contributes, Antoniazzi and Allan need to be starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never kicked a ball in the 2nd half, we showed a bit urgency after the penalty but it was like the big bad wolf trying to blow down a brick house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leitch might not be brilliant but at least has an attacking edge to his game. He could've been told to push up to support the front two with Millar playing the holding role. Our tight squad is looking less than adequate at the moment. Never mind Charlie telfer will be fit again soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leitch may well have been a better option today as he wouldn't have been tracking back to try to get involved all the time. He strikes me as someone that will show us some good stuff very occasionally but would be generally ineffective though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomis was alright for 20 mins but disappeared after that. We needed young legs in our centre mid this year and we all knew that but the management team have again failed to resolve that issue completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Alston still doesn't look fit. Gomis is more effective coming on from the bench. Mutch and mutch alone cost us that game. Was looking like an easy 1 0. Very boring but would have took the points. What an absolute dick. Also the commentary suggesting we would settle for a point with 25 mins left to play against a team we put 6 past last season is horrific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to laugh at the commentary suggesting folk watching around the TFS would get a better view on Falkirk TV.....after they had missed the sending off incident Edited October 25, 2020 by MrDust 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
