RiG Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Really excited to play Falkirk again this weekend. Surprised there hasn't really been any new manager bounce since Hartley came in and with our reasonable run of form I'm hopeful that we can sneak a win here. That said, whilst we don't concede too many goals we also don't score many either. As we found against St. Mirren the other week if the opposition scores first we don't really create enough good chances to turn things around and get back into a winning position. We are also quite wasteful with the few chances we do create. I doubt we'll see many changes to the side from the one that took at point in Dumfries provided there are no injuries or suspensions. Could do with Mulraney stepping up again as he's been pretty quiet recently. At least on a grass pitch we have the option to bring Doran on which is useful. Stephen Finnie takes charge for this so expect a heads gone from at least one set of supporters after the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 With the weather over the next few days looking pretty rank maybe a postponement isn't out of the question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new manager bounce thing is a bit of a myth. Statistically, teams that stay with managers usually turn it round on a similar time scale to teams that don't. If there isn't a bounce maybe the team is just gash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the Dons fault due to half his players not giving a f**k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, maybe the SFA will let us rent out Murrayfield or Hampden for our first game in 2018 so that more people get to see the start of Sir Paul's revolution.

Reggie Perrin Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hoping this is off, then I can get to the rearranged midweek date and stay up there courtesy of an "important business trip". Last time I pulled that one we got pumped 7-0 in Dingwall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 If Sibbs and Taiwo are back, I fully expect to see a midfield masterclass. Taiwo doing the dirty work we've been missing for weeks, Mark Kerr playing deep, doing what he does best (pinging passes and slapping asses) and Sibbald a bit further forward so he can unleash the lethal weapon Alex Harris.

Nah. If we were Hearts or Celtic then yes but we're Falkirk, so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Snowing again at the moment, don't know how the A9 or A96 are holding up but if this continues the game will be off. I was looking forward to hearing Bawface Fartley's nasal excuses after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
