bridge of allan bairn Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Based On what I know so far then loy excluded I'd like to seeThompsonM'head Grant Watson gallacherTaiwoHarris hippoSibbald/craigenAustin loy Big sexy to come off the bench second half for loy . Kerr to cover for taiwo. Gaspo to cover Watson and Grant. Ohara cover for Austin Forgot McKee if fit he'd be in games we need a stronger midfield with taiwo or if Harris form isn't great, possibly even prior to taiwo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkLad Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Anyone who believes this is a decent signing for a team pushing for the title and not just a lazy signing needs to give their head a shake, would rather just have Shephard as back up winger and pump more funds into a striker. Boring boring boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky_ffc Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Last season looks like a bit of a write-off, but his stats for 15/16 make ok reading; 4 goals and 10 assists from 1,862 minutes is a decent output for a winger. Not a glamour signing by any means, but it's a position we're short in. Can't be any worse than that ugly wee bigot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 There is potential with Harris, might actually give us some pace to attack with him on the right and Hippo on the left. I think a few folk have touched on the fact he had a bad injury and a rough time of it, but lets not forget that our runner up in last season's player of the season poll, taiwo, didn't make the grade at Hibs and has been pretty solid for us when played in the right position. I'm much more put off by the prospect of Kerr starting every game than Harris at this point. Fair point prior to his injury and father passing away he was a promising talent. He's only 22 and if he gives us some pace trickery and a decent cross I'm happy to get behind him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grass Is Greener. Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Harris is an instant improvement for this Falkirk team, he'll get goals and assists in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris is the kind of signing that's ok if your happy enough to potter into the playoffs and get a couple of decent games before getting pumped out. He's of the same squad player level that Houston seems to like signing even though he tells us that we're going to get some better quality in. However, if like our CEO tells we're looking to win the league this season( and going by the standard of the other sides why not) then we need better. He's no better than Aird who got the heave at the end of last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm just glad he's been signed by someone tbh. Had the fear we'd end up with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I will give any signing a chance before writing them off and I'll do the same with Harris.Not the most exciting I must admit and would have hoped for better.Maybe Houstie is keeping his ace signing up his sleeve for the striker role. Wouldn't bet on it though [emoji16] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senor Bairn Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm not going to write the lad off before hes even kicked a ball for us. As much as I agree its not a very inspiring signing, its a signing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 40 minutes ago, Shadwell Dog said: We obviously didnt try very hard after he knocked us back if Harris was the only other option. To me hes immediately 3rd choice behind Craigen and Mckee and their only makeshift right mids . Connolly has struggled in the 5th tier of English football and now finds himself in the 6th tier. I'd have preferred a punt on Connolly but he is no way a definite step up, tho if you would've preferred Aird, then serious questions have to asked that you'd keep a player who contributed fuk all. The end of the day supporters should support what players do in the navy blue and if he is shite like Aird was, then fair play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why sign him and then hardly ever play him? A decent signing in January may have made all the difference come the playoffs. Harris to me is of a very similar standard though I'm afraid. The report from other clubs is that he basically has a decent game now and again and is an utter shitebag when it comes to tackling.

Boyle would be one of your best players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
