Guest Back Post Misses Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yes, we lost but overall it was mission accomplished for us. What has been evident the past week though, is huge amount of whinging. Good luck in the play offs. I have plenty admiration for the job your manager has done. Let's however not get too "part time" on us though. How many loan players do you have from FT clubs? They will all be training FT. Half the team probably? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to work on shape, and tactics. They can't work on that at their parent clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your keeper could lose a bit of timber he would not be with you either. Aitken has another massive rebuild again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Thomson?Nope, we had Joe Thomson on loan earlier in the season, but he's now at Queen of the South. Aldo's just massive, like Schmeichel's build these days. He's far too good for us, and is better than quite a few Premiership 'keepers too. He was keen to stay in November though, so if Aitken sticks around then I'm hopeful he might too.It will be a massive rebuild in the summer, as it always is, however with Aitken out of contract we don't even know for sure that he's the man who will be doing it.

Ironically, I may be wrong but feel like Allan Martin might have put in a bit of weight over the season, although not much. Others may disagree. He is a top 'keeper though. True about Aitken's rebuild, but only if he chooses to stay. Important week or two ahead of us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope...Thomson is signed with usDifficult conditions yesterday...swirling wind and hard pitch made playing football on the ground difficult..and it showed...pretty dire gameWe clearly set out to make sure we didn't get pumped...sensible option...although unlikely...it wasn't impossible Raith could score a load against Ayr - similar tactic to taking ball into corner for final few minutesDisappointed I have to say with Falkirk...you will need to play much better than that to get through the playoffs...but good luck to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the way you set up meant one goal was all that was going to be required. No idea why you set up that way TBH. You were safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many loan players do you have from FT clubs? They will all be training FT. Half the team probably? Harvie (corrected to Barbie by android!), Stanton and Vaughan are the only loanees that can be considered as regulars and all have contributed greatly to us staying up. They only train with the squad twice a week the same as the contracted players, so any benefit from f/t training outside of that is marginalised. I take it as a backhanded compliment that you are trying to play down our part time status, we are punching above our weight despite the minimal resources. Using the loan system effectively is a must for p/t clubs, credit due to any manager who does that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albundy Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Didn't know the manager could be off? It's possible he could be putting feelers out for other potential jobs but suspect that it would only be f/t posts. He is in discussions with the club over a new deal but nothing is signed. That's another thing to add to the list, we usually have to re-build the team each season as we lose a fair amount of our better players.One area where the part time status does bring a benefit is any players who are already or looking to go part time and take a job outside of football, we are an attractive option.

cedrick1 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Agree with most in that conditions were windy and pitch very dry. Austin deserved goal as was best player on park . overall never felt we were in any danger and that showed in particular when falkirk fans celebrated Morton goal but we never bothered when hibs scored. Clearly more important for falkirk to be second . I hope falkirk represent division in play off final and good luck in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 He was obviously impressed by us or unimpressed by Falkirk You did okay yesterday David although maybe could have stopped Leahy's cross that led to the goal. But then again you're not a right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
