That's pretty mental going by our last few performances. Would be genuinely surprised if we came away from this game with anything to be honest. Locke's tactics/team selections are starting to become questionable and Falkirk seem to be finding a bit of form in the league. In fact I'd hazard a guess it'll be a carbon copy performance, from both teams, from our earlier encounter but this time being at TFS. Ah that's the rumblings started then?

It's hard to see us giving Falkirk a real run for their money here. A comfortable 2-0 win looks about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf we were 8 points behind you and 9 goals worse off after the first 3 matches. To be 3 points and 3 goals better off after 9 matches is a fair swing. Important to get a win here to keep the pressure on Hibs. Same 11 as started vs Dunfermline please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not quite at Grant Murray levels of frustration amongst the support but a few grumblings here and there. Not quite panic stations yet but we could do with a wee run of positive results. A draw against Hibs, on paper at least, probably looks good but with the extra man advantage it was frustrating to see us not really have a clue how to play against 10 men.

It was always going to happen. Locke is a loser and terrible manager. Raith will be the last full time job he gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even have a song for him and everything.Not sure if we've sung it since August, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I actually don't mind Gary. He always makes a point of getting the players to come over and applaud us at the end of games.Not sure how that'll play out when we suffer our annual clocks go back/winter slump.

CALDERON Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It hasnt been the horror show that many predicted, but there are certainly some frustrations. We lack creativity up front - which is frustrating given the amount of options and "forward thinking players" we have. Defence is getting there - M'Voto and Benedictus finally developing a partnership - still badly miss Thomson though. Some of our players are underperforming, and theres only so much of that you can blame on the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same 11 as started vs Dunfermline please All still early days but I also feel Queens will drop 2 or all 3 on Saturday also. I watched the Raith v Hibs highlights, what I took out if it was Hibs seemed to improve with 10 men, red card is neither proven to be correct or incorrect, only that Barr is going mental after, so can only guess something happened and Raith looked punchless up top. Barr it appears to be the man to stop again, like the last game between us, take him out and Raith looked out of sorts. The problem there is we might have Watson at right back, has he ever played right back for Raith ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep him quiet, we look lost as we have nothing down the other side, we always play a CM down the other side despite having 3 wingers on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Falkirk are by far the worst team weve played this season 1V2 How do you figure that one out? I'd go as far as saying, they were probably the best team we've played this season.. I don't remember Hibs having a single shot on target on Saturday.St Mirren were awful. That defence Dundee United from 30 mins onwards couldn't string 2 passes togetherQueen of the south were as bad as us until their opener from Dobbie.Dunfermline look like a team that are playing in League 1 still. We played Ayr before their rehabilitation, they had nothing going for them before that. I never went through to Cappielow so can't comment on Morton.Dumbarton look like they're starting to come to terms with the fact that relegation is looming for them. So in summary, Falkirk were probably the best side we've faced this season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm fucking awesome You are. As an awesome person, where do you go for a pint before the game? This isn't an Alan Partridge style chat up line. I'm interested in finally making a trip through to your new ground for the first time ever. Where do people go for a drink before the game? Bottle of cheap cider in the Helix or pub then taxi from Falkirk/Grangemouth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
