Otis Blue Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Well, somebody had to start it ... So will the QOS alleged "defence" get badly found out here yet again in the league? Or will we rise to the occasion? For some strange reason we're unbeaten (two wins and a draw) against 3 higher league opponents in the cups this season, but our league form is definitely inconsistent at best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defence our huge weakness Falkirk will definitely score just have to hope we can outscore them which seems to be our game plan very difficult thing to do every week . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring more goals than the opposition is quite a popular game plan to be honest. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Fancy us to keep the run going. A repeat of last years 3-1 early in the season would be ideal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 We've had quite bit of joy against Championship sides in the cup competitions over the last couple of years as well. I think it's fair to say there's not much of a gap between the bottom half teams there and the top league 1 sides Confident if we play as we have been we'll get the win and score a few goals. Seems harsh to drop the guys that came in and did so well at Ayr but would start the same 11 as against Edinburgh for this one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to the first 45 against Stirling, that first 45 in that game last season was as good as we've seen down here. Agree that the starting 11 that started v Edinburgh start this game. In our last 4 fixtures, our goals scored have been 3, 4, 2, 1. I dont expect a 0 and will therefore be placing an amount of money, commensurate with the "can't fail" nature of the bet, on us to score 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I can’t see anything other than a Falkirk win in this one. As has been mentioned above we just can’t keep teams out. I would be happy with a point at this stage, but I think it will be 4-2 to Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 There is just no way we keep a clean sheet in this with our back line. On the positive side we do seem capable of scoring at the other end, even against the higher league sides this season. The question will be can we score enough to take a point here or heaven forbid take all three. Of the FT sides, I don't think there's been a meeting of Accies, the Bairns or Queens this season yet and Cove don't seem to be setting the heather on fire at the moment. So this game's going to start to show just how decent this season's Falkirk side are. From the off I've said that it will be difficult to separate Accies and Falkirk at the top this season. For Queens we'd have to hope that we can consolidate third and if dreams do come true then maybe threaten second but then agaain ... our (lack of) defence ... well ... dearie me. Should be an entertaining game this. Can't make it as I'm away at the weekend - bummer as I usually go to the Bairnabeu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be wishful thinking, but I'm hoping when Bartley finally gets a chance to field his preferred back line on a regular basis without too much chopping and changing of personnel our goals against column won't take such a pummelling. So far he's been hampered by not being able to pick Brydon all season (perpetually injured), Church (injured twice), McClelland (2 red card suspensions), MacIntyre (cup-tied), Ambrose (didn't set his alarm clock) and Houston (no apparent reason) at one time or another. Of course that means that someone (usually Logan) has had to play in an unfamiliar role and been found wanting, or even worse, Paul McKay, the one player out of all of our defenders that you'd prefer to be either injured, suspended, cup-tied, dropped through a lack of professionalism or just because he's a pea-hearted shitester, has been drafted in to contribute more than most to our defensive clown shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazzyStar Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Thinking back to the halcyon days of when both these clubs were in the championship, what is everyone’s favourite Stephen Dobbie goal against Falkirk? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Hopefully keep the winning momentum going, we will have to watch McGuffie though not because he's a fantastic player but he does have the odd worldie in his locker out of nothing. 3-1 Bairns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuffie hasn't been a regular under Bartley though. He got a start yesterday in the Diddy Cup win at Partick, scored the predicted (by Bairns fans) worldie and also an assist I think - so remains to be seen if that will get him a start on Saturday or a place on the bench. I've only seen McGuffie once (against Alloa) and thought he put in a decent shift and was then unlucky to then drop out of contention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Looking forward to this one. Will be our first Saturday home game for six weeks, so hopefully a good crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 We can only hope that mcguffie has played his way into Marvin's plans for next Saturday. Good result for queen's against a Partick b side on Saturday similar to us last season in the challenge cup whilst we had an excellent win at ayr.A win puts us 7 points clear and will heap more pressure on Bartley. If we keep it solid you've got to think we can score but we will need to be at our best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
