The players need to start performing again whatever the tactics We have failed to win half of our games in league 1- simply not good enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he absolutely has to get it right this summer / next season For me, there is zero confidence that he will get it right. What we are watching is a replica of one of his rotten Raith Rovers sides, and he will simply build another version of it next season. Seven games lost in L1. With the resources at his disposal, that’s poor. Really poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 More concerned about the fall off with Steven McGinn than anything. That hampden pitch could finish him off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks absolutely fucked from the first off in games now. Looks like the summer rest can’t come quick enough for him. He is one for me that should have been getting rested plenty recently. I still like him but I just think the poor guys knackered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline have played the same way all season and have won the league at a canter mainly due to having better players than anyone else. Weve beaten Edinburgh comfortably 3 times this season playing the same way. We have far better players than them and that really should be enough at this level. The players seem happy to down tools till the cup semi and playoffs which is nowhere near good enough. Mcglynn isn't blameless. Bringing back Williamson and mcguffie was a stupid idea and burrell up front on his own never seems to bring out the best in him but we should've had more than enough to get a result still and certainly not lose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of your sides appearances are by around the same ten players. You then have others that have played here or there. Theres not been a lot of wholesale changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamson is here till the end of the season so for me it makes sense to use him when appropriate. Rowe has dropped off in form recently so makes sense to bench him for a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing. Falkirk are a minter. Played a part time team that fielded 3 strikers and lost. From their perspective, embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Perfect game to play two up front and give Oliver and Burrell the chance to get to know each other's game a bit more. Instead he plays Burrell on his own and fields 5 midfielders who were getting in each other's way at times. I said after about 10 minutes that if Oliver had started instead of McGuffie we'd have been in front. I thought we were at last going to see them together when Oliver came on, I couldn't fucking believe it when he took Burrell off instead. Absolutely disgraceful decision. I can understand him rotating players given the games that are approaching but I'm sure he'll play McGinn and Henderson together in the play-offs and semi so why the f**k play them both together tonight when there's a chance of injury or suspension? I think he's starting to get the fear and he's doubting himself. I hope he's not or that he's now starting to lose the dressing room because, if he is, we're fucked. On this form Airdrie will brush us aside with little effort! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same 11 players can play in more than one formation and with different tactics, sorry to be the one to break it to you. Would have thought you might have noticed as all 4 games against you have been pretty different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
