Wonder if Spence was injured? Took a knock last week which I assume forced him off then and maybe wasn't fully fit today? Half time seemed a really strange time to take him off. Suppose just before half time Airdrie were really on top so maybe could've been tactical and perhaps worked because can't remember them creating any chances second half although we didn't either. looking back it was defo tactical , we tightened up at the back after half time !

Kennboy1978 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I thought we played some really nice stuff towards the end of the first half and fully expected that to continue in the second, how wrong was I. I know why Brown was taken off but we really could have done with him putting in the free kicks/corners we had in the last ten. Lost count of the amount of times either Leitch or Hutton had the ball 30 yards out and there was no movement at either side. An aimless ball into the box was the only option. Blame the defence all you want but Ferguson has to come off his line at some point, to take the pressure off. Edit: Fair play to Alloa they all stuck to their tasks and really never gave us a sniff.

Diamond8 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 No, You cannot blame him ! he did make some good saves today ! How can he be blameless? Far from convincing coming off his line, too slow far too often and also plays us into some serious pressure. He can't catch the ball and is also far too quiet to be a goalkeeper.

whereismillar Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Ok maybe not blameless but your defence in general in the first fiteen minutes, all to blame there ! at the end of the day you lost the game in that time !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennboy1978 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 No, You cannot blame him ! he did make some good saves today ! Granted, but we have lost countless goals because he doesn't command his 6 yard box. It's obviously his age and I am not saying drop him. Just make a nuisance of himself so the opposition don't have a simple header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've touched upon a taboo subject. You're not allowed to criticise Ferguson. In my view he's as bad as the back four in giving goals away. Based on a good display in a cup tie last year I think T W say a £ sign and we've had to pay the price. Now just wait for the abuse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereismillar Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 losing goals , Every team loses goals ! so how do they , easy answer because they make mistakes , every player/team does, organisation and tactics help to alleviate human failure and lack of ( confidence (which may apply to airdrie), as i said before our manager seems to have sorted our habit of giving away silly goals , so where does the blame lie there if we continued to do so , see where i am going with this ? IMO your tactics and manager are the problem , you have decent players believe me you have !!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Another very good three points after the win last week at Hampden. For the second week in a row Jim Goodwin managed to put out a starting eleven that I can't imagine any fan predicted. Despite going 2-0 up ( and it should have been 3 or 4) I don't think we looked totally comfortable with the formation and were a better unit after Hetherington came on for Spence at half-time. Flannigan on the bench and McCluskey starting is hard to fathom. I thought Mackin did well up front. Airdrie were dangerous going forwards first half, but otherwise not great.

Mackin looked as bad for your team as he did when with us on loan. Just my opinion but Spence is much better, although you are right that Hetherington coming on did tighten up the game in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkwasp Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 He may well opt for the same team as last week, try and stay strong defensively and build from there. I'd argue against the same approach though. No disrespect meant, but I'd say Airdrie are a better, certainly more dangerous team going forward than Queens Park. I still don't agree with leaving your best players on the bench. We have touted the Marr situation on here, but you can at least lay some case that McKeown is like for like. Cawley and Flannigan though, certainly not. I can't think of a club in world football that regularly leaves their best players on the bench. Credit to the manager for last week- very professional display where everything went to plan. But it still remains a concern for me if he doesn't start either (or both) of those players mentioned today. I think we will stick with 2 up top today so that leaves even less scope for either to get in the starting lineup. I thought it would be the same team roughly but what do we know lol, having said that i thought stevie hertherington should have started.Yeah fully agree that they are a better team going forward just not so good at the defending part. Having said all of that i was one of the people who made a bit of a joke about mensing signing for airdrie but i thought he was fantastic today for yourselves, handled everything thrown at him.You are a man in the know, where was marr today have you any idea? I would ask wasps1 but he seems to have fallen of the face of the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkwasp Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 At half time i dont know if anyone else seen this but i seen jim waiting on spencey put his arm round him whilst they were walking down the tunnel, assuming there was nothing wrong with him and that was jim telling greig he was being substituted.

Exactly. Far too young to be a first choice keeper playing week in and week out- rooted to his line more often than not- he has cost us a good few goals this year. Yet, as you say dare to question him and face to outrage of the support who seem to be blinded to his faults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can, they confirmed before he was the old wasps1212 alias. He probably was dickturpin. Anyway, good win yesterday and great to put a couple of wins together. Hopefully we can keep this going and pull away from the pack. Still not convinced about the tinkering but can't argue with back to back wins.
