FFC 1876 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Actually took me until now to find out you had employed Stevie Crawford as manager. Really nice bloke, had the pleasure of meeting him when he was the Falkirk assistant manager under Pressley so I hope he does well(after Saturday of course) Should hopefully be our first viewing of how Rennie wants us to play, covid test dependant. He'll only have a couple of training sessions before Saturday so I'm not expecting miracles but hopefully he can get more out of our squad than Sheerin did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 We should just about scrape a win here maybe, but it'll probably be an absolute shitfest. But hopefully 3pts and Rennie gets off to a good start. Lose and we are right in the mire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I think it's crucial that we have Dixon back for this. No matter what form he's in, we simply can't afford to have a McKay/Hall/Lemon combo at the back. Personally I'd go with a back three of Miller, Dixon and Lemon. Lemon would get more help from Dixon than he did when playing beside Hall and Miller may just prove to be marginally better than Hall or McKay in a 3. Getting a better right sided CD in in January remains a priority however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPM said Dixon needs surgery on his wrist so no idea how long he'll be out for, on that basis the 3 at the back gives me the fear as at least two of Miller/Mckay/Hall would be playing. Was Hetherington suspended against Cove or just left out completely? Rennie's only got two days to have a look at them in person so it'll be very interesting to see the team and formation he goes with.

Angus of the Mo Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 The Fife, though bottom and with only 3 wins, havent been getting thumped recently, and recently mostly draws or narrow defeats If I were a betting man, I'd chance a punt on the Fife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Williamson Hall Lemon Mccann Krasniqi Morrison Weekes Telfer Keena Ruth I'm not sure that's why Dixon was missing though. He's been playing with his wrist bandaged all season so, hopefully, it's not any worse and he'll be available? Either way, I'd still play a back 3 as Hall and Lemon showed us V QP that they'll leak goals if played together in a 2. I'd play Miller, Hall and Lemon if Dixon's out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His near to tears love in towards Pressley speech at the fans meeting at the park hotel was the cringiest thing I've ever seen, Elvis wasn't there. Pre to that I thought he was doing an aok job, sure he was no3 with McFarlane I think his No2. I've not looked at Falkirk thread since the Rennie interview (guessing the sticking up for Holt will get some stick) but I'm looking forward to seeing us in action albeit two days work. As I said previously, patience will be needed with board and management, I'm hopeful an instant improvement will shine through but won't be throwing toys out the pram. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 If the team involves any combination of McKay/Hall/Lemon then the result isn't even worth discussing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbri Bairn Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Only a fool would predict this one. Can Rennie/Miller polish a turd in 48 hours? Will we see the new manager bounce? Will we see the usual meek crap with no defence no attack and a powder puff midfield? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BountyBairn Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Surely Rennie will be thinking a new captain is needed. But from that lot I genuinely dunno who it should be. If Dixon is fit he’s really the only leader in the team. Miller would be better than Hetherington of course but we’ve been there before. Rest of the squad don’t seem to have mentality for being captain....maybe Rennie can get something out of one of them and step up. Hey he may even be able to get Hetherington to kick his arse into gear. Been a complete let down compared to what Alloa fans said we’d be getting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 actually looking forward to tomorrow albeit with a degree of trepidation. How low we have sunk to have us worrying about a game against the bottom team in the 3rd tier in Scottish football .

We are dugmeat and Rennie will know at quarter to five that this is a shiteshow and he has if he didn't already know it's beyond redemption in six months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in desperate need of a player who can score goals and a player who can organise the centre of defence. Motivation is the biggest problem and perhaps Rennie can ignite that in the players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motivation is the biggest problem and perhaps Rennie can ignite that in the players Some tactics would help too. Sheerin was accepting of take the ball, find a Falkirk shirt, and thats your job done. No actual coherent plan to go down the wings, or to go over the top, or to try and play through the middle..... Just nothing. Also, like I said last week after the Cove game... How many times must Paddy Martin roll the ball to Ben Hall for him to lose it before we realise we need to have drills for keeper with ball in hand/at his feet. These are all things that Rennie can fix with the personnel he has, even if they are not the ones he wants going forward. We are a disjointed team in possession and we are soft as shite out of possession. These things are down to the tactics and set up, as we have seen "less talented" teams stand up to us and bully us through organisation and controlled aggression. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bejazz1 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Looking at the weather forecast for today and looking out my window. Does anyone think todays game is in doubt due to heavy fog? I know the park it’s right on the waters edge. Maybe some of the EF fans will let us know the current state in foggy or fogless Methil? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
