The 1st two also seemed disinterested. I feel Mcglynn gave them the chance to play to keep morale up in the squad and sadly this may have had the opposite effect on the 5 players hooked at half time. Wasn't there yesterday but you can possibly forgive Agyeman's performance as he's been thrown into such an unnatural position. He's played as a winger or at 10 for us and I think Kelty used him as a striker at times. Why is McGlynn playing him at wingback, especially when our usual three behind the striker are all benched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Penalty for me on review. He pulls the shirt and it might be soft but it's a penalty none-the-less. Formation and lineup didn't work and in-person it looked laboured but highlights told a different story. One of those early chances goes in and I don't think we'd be focussing on the failures as much. They didn't though and that's why it seems like an unnecessary risk was taken with the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been fucked over by owner and, as far as I’m concerned, the council in their design of the stadium. They had a squad of youth players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why the Edinburgh defender is trying to claim it was outside the box either One of those ones where if if its given against your team then you're gutted. But if you VAR it and watch the reply a few times then yeah a hand is placed on the forwards back which means its legit for the attacker to go down. No need for our boy to make the challenge, but hey that's football for you. Utter confusion from the referee, waves his arm in the air but even the commentary team don't know what he'e given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Me Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 5 minutes ago, lanky_ffc said: ... you can possibly forgive Agyeman's performance as he's been thrown into such an unnatural position.... Not for me. He's played same way off the bench and it's head down, sloppy control and poor decision making. Additionally yesterday it looked like he and Allan knew approaching half-time they were likely getting hooked and they gave up. MacIver and Shanley appear to do the donkey work they're not keen to do. The difference between Shanley and Allan is marked in similar scenarios. 1st half Allan out-muscled when he had the advantage and given the service he needs and Shanley 2nd half rolls a player from being 2nd favourite. Sometimes it's not just about quality. Desire has to be there and both Aggey and Allan look like confidence is shot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC1982 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Penalty was soft but as others have said, you scream for it if it happens to you and unfortunately for the young Edinburgh lad, he’s given the ref a decision to make by raising his hands. I get why McGlynn wanted to rest players, i just think it could have been done without the tactical tinkering. Bring Bisland in for Finn, shanley for McIvor and rotate the front 3 out to the 3 who finished the game last week, keep the formation the same as the guys are used to. Same effect without trying to shoehorn players in 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) I couldn't really make out what the formation was tbh. It sort of looked like a 5-3-2 for the first couple of minutes with Agyeman and Mackie as the wing backs, but changed to 4-2-3-1 within the first 5 minutes. Everyone was in their usual roles apart from Henderson at CB and Donaldson at RB. We actually started the game ok (just not at the very high standards we've been setting recently) and created a few chances, it certainly didnt look like Edinburgh were going to race into a two goal lead. But as soon as they got their goals you could tell we were in trouble and it was obviously going to require getting Miller, McCann, Yeats etc on at half time.

Yup, Agyeman has been awful the past two or three times he's come on as sub, not just in yesterday's nonsensical McGlynn screw-up. On Tuesday v Cove he looked more likely to trip himself up than actually beat a man - who was it on here who previously summed him up perfectly as playing like a kid chasing a balloon down the street. Whatever he had at the start of the season -which tbf was great - has long gone missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headthebaw Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Those celebrations at the end! What did Falkirk win? Never a penalty. Not in the box and a shirt pull that wouldn’t have drawn a foul anywhere else on the pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
