roman_bairn Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Well it’s that time of year folks - no I don’t mean Xmas. Time for the biannual pumping from Clyde at Broadwood.Or is it?Have we now finally turned a corner?Will Clyde have any players?Will Mr Goodwillie mis-interpret what I mean re ‘pumping’?You decide.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Even if we can field a team, we won’t have trained for two weeks, I doubt we will have learned how to defend in that time, and Ray McKinnon isn’t the Falkirk manager. 1-0 Clyde. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give us the lowdown on the situation regarding your players and when they can restart training? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 For whatever reason we just couldn't get going against Clyde last season. Whether McKinnon or M&M in charge, at Broadwood or TFS Hopefully the LC game has shown we are on the right track to de-bogeying this one Important to get away from our recent tradition of passing up a barrel-load of chances, I'd be amazed of Goodwillie will be in as generous a mood on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official confirmation came on the 27th (Friday) but I’m assuming the club knew about it a day or two before, which would mean sometime this midweek that the 14 day self isolation comes to an end. Might be able to squeeze training in on Thursday night but who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) I've just watched the highlights of February's 3-2 game to get me in the mood for this. What a game David Mitchell had that day. What's the deal with Mark Lamont he's always looked a threat against us and from what I can remember he had a decent return of assists last season but this season looks like he's been in and out the team? I think the fact Ray Grant won't be dominating in the middle of the park this game will make a big difference. Also our defence looks a lot more organised with Hall and Dixon as the centre back pairing so hopefully that makes a difference. 3-1 Falkirk with the fiend getting his obligatory goal. Hopefully get a goal from Dowds as he badly needs it. Edited December 7, 2020 by FFC 1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 We have to lose at some point, might as well be against our bogey team of last year rather than a fellow title contender. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychologically that not only boosts our confidence going into those games, but conversely will be a real blow to our title contenders.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just preparing myself for the inevitable chance we don’t win against Clyde, more tongue in cheek style post. Personally, if we have to lose sometime, I would prefer it to be the last game of the season when we are 15 points clear with the title wrapped up.Me too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Wouldn't be surprised if we lined up with the same 11 as last week, though the midfield is a bit of a dilemma at the moment. Last week Telfer was good on the right but at the expense of Morrison's influence being reduced with him on the left. Keena said last week he was probably still a couple of weeks away from returning. Seems harsh to drop Telfer but I'd go: PJ Morrison Mercer Hall Dixon Kelly C Morrison Alston Gomis Connolly Dowds Sammon Mutch, Deveney, Durnan, G Miller, Todd, Telfer, Leitch, Francis, L Miller 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcracken covered off Morrison playing on the left hand side in his post match interview. They basically seem to be putting Morrison on whichever side they think is weakest for the other team. When teams pay too much attention to Morrison it free's up space for the rest of the team so I don't think it was a case of Morrison being ineffective out on the left. I hope Gomis is fit and they don't try shoehorn Gary Miller back in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we continue our recent form and we shouldn’t have too much to worry about. That’s the sort of thing we would say when we were due to play Queens Park s and to lesser extent Cowdenbeath. Only to succumb to the inevitable pumping as normal! Horrible times those Edited December 8, 2020 by FREDDYFRY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centre is a given no matter what side he is on.....I fancy him for a goal or two on Saturday At least these closed doors games gives us the option of avoiding one of the coldest stadiums in Scottish football in December 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did seem strange sticking Morrison on the left when telfer was playing and not leitch when telfer can at least kick with his left foot compared to leitch. Not sure when your playing Peterhead that they have a strong side. I'd always play my best players in their best positions and then fill the holes in after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 This will be very tough IMO. Our goals to chances created ratio is not great and I can’t see Clyde giving up the chances the likes of Dumbarton, Cove and Peterhead gave us. The front players need to sharpen their boots. Think it will be a draw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
