We actually bring in decent strikers and creative midfielders. B. See A and get rid of Nesbitt, McGuffie, Hetherington, Wilson, Ross, Morrison.

Bairnardo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Theres a real lack of objectivity from our fans sometimes. I'm thinking about the guy in the KM7 loudly arguing that Montrose "deserved to win this game by absolute miles". Pure nonsense. It was a finely balanced, ebb and flow game. We did create chances. At least as many as they did. We also got in positions where frustratingly, a better final ball would have created a great chance. So it's not exactly fair to say we create nothing, it's more the killer touch at the end. We are a decent striker short of finding a way to the net today. The way the game went, it's criminal that I, and anyone else who didn't bet on it, didn't make money off that today. We all knew what was coming, but I did hear "no better than last season" shouts too and that's just plainly nonsense. Montrose just absolutely bodied us last season. First time seeing Donaldson, he is very good for this level IMO. As is McGinn and Yeats looks a fantastic prospect. As it stands, there is going to be some serious frustration watching us this season, but I won't have anyone saying its not better than watching us last season, where it was heartbreaking to sit there and know the opposition would head hone with 3 points and not even need to wash their strips. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of people on COYB rushed to the aid of Williamson last week saying gee the boy a chance etc etc … he’s guff , always has been and looks like bambi when the football is at his feet . Get him so far to f**k ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent striker won't solve all, the passing, decision making and general play needs improvement from mid to attack. McGuffie improved us as an attacking sense and I don't why he was dropped, even last season he scored and created a few.

Russ Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I agree that it was hard to pick a MoM today. Really could’ve been any one of McKay, Donaldson, McGinn or Yeats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have probably gave it to him after considering Donaldson and McGinn too. A good striker solves most of our problems tbh. I dont think we had any real gilt edged chances today, but someone who can finish them off, who can also do a wee bit of hold up would take away loads of our issues because ultimately they are issues of falling down at the last hurdle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't good enough and never will be. Hopefully McGlynn can somehow wheel and deal and empty some of them. They will be the players that ultimately will let him down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyMo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Montrose point of view. Happy with the draw today and could have easily snatched the 3 points with a bit of luck. Having McAllister up front is huge for us. We haven't had a serious striker since we've been in League 1. He had some good touches and brought others into the game. His presence is a boost as others will know they've got to keep an eye on him. Impressed by the 2 loanees from Ross County. They look a handful. Was a bit pessimistic about the season ahead but after today's performance, I think we'll be fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, McAllister is a great signing and will play a part in a lot of goals for you this season. Very impressed with how you played and could feel hard done by you only left with 1 point 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to understand the good striker solves all our problems and we had no gilt edged chances today, we need the play behind solved, a Mckay header and a McGuffie shot played through by McKay is our chances. A striker does not solve that if McKay is your best creative player in the final third. so many players wasteful on the ball, funnily all last year's players.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new striker won’t solve much by itself when your attacking midfield options are Nesbitt, Mcguffie, Morrison and Ross. Nesbitt contributed nothing for 90% of last season so it’s difficult to fathom why he’s now being relied on as our main creative outlet. To me we are actually weaker in that department than last season as Telfer is a far better player than Nesbitt. I wouldn’t have been averse to bringing in someone more consistent there but why Telfer was punted to be replaced by Nesbitt in that position is baffling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 17 hours ago, Ingo ohne Flamingo said: Just want to share this with you all. Our family were shocked and saddened at the death of Falkirk diehard Euan Anderson. A lad who with his family lived 2 doors down from my wife's house in Polmont, my wife was pals with his big sister, it was a very close community within the street. Euan was a massive Falkirk fan, despite his old man being a rangers fan, Euan chose to support his local team and travelled with the Shuttle home and away. I honestly have not met a person more Falkirk daft than Euan, only the legend that was Stevie Black who left us in 2016 being the same as Euan. 4 weeks ago Euan collapsed and died whilst playing 5s with his pals. Last week me and Euan would've been exchanging in banter prior to our teams meeting up in the League Cup, but his untimely death meant that did not happen. The Shuttle have organised for a 25th minute applause to celebrate the life of a Falkirk diehard. I hope that the whole stadium recognise one of their own. God bless you Euan. Hopefully the Bairns do the damage today in your honour. The minutes applause was really uplifting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best two chances we had, you didn't even mention. Alegria in the 2nd and Nesbitt in the 1st were probably our clearest openings. Oliver also worked a decent opening for himself coming in from the left and couldn't find a finish. Williamson combined with McGuffie I think, but got his feet in a muddle in the box. Someone got played thru to the byline later on and contrived to run the ball out of play. In a lot of those instances, a cool head in the box finds the right pass or the right finish. We had 14 shots, 5 on target. That's no "creating nothing". McGlynn said it. It's a lack of quality in that last moment. Ideally I'd like 3 in, but if I could pick just 1 that would make the biggest difference, it would be a striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I thought before the game it would be a draw and the game looked like 0-0 from a long way out. Apart from the one chance late in the 2nd half Montrose didn’t trouble us much and PJ did not have a difficult save to make all game. The Montrose keeper had three decent saves with the one from Allegria the best. I was encouraged how easily we coped with McAllister and Johnston with Donaldson in the end dominating McAlistair. Our defence is very strong and Henderson is still to come in which will make it even stronger. Sort the front four positions and we will be decent IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
