Bairnardo Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 First game for me in a wee while this weekend. 3 points is a bit of a must here to really put us a good bit clear of the Sons. We can all rest a little easier if we win this and start concentrating on climbing up a few places/fucking up peoples parties at the other end. It would be great fun to end this car crash of a season by ruining the dreams of others and hopefully putting in another 6 goal demolition of some c**t. That wont be this weekend though, the football hasn't been great recently and a scrappy win will do. As far as lineup goes.... I would hope Grant has been working on some stuff and is ready to come back in. Not sure even on current form he is as much a bombscare as Watson. Midfield of Tumilty, Taiwo, Sibbald, Kidd and Robson. Jak and Nelson/Longridge up front. I think playing Longridge behind 2 strikers is trying to force the issue a wee bit and our best performances this season have come with the above midfield which is more balanced, and more effective in keeping the back door shut.

Bairnardo Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hazard Muirhead Grant McGhee Tumilty taiwo Blair Robson Sibbs Jak longridge Take that anaw. I did consider saying Blair instead of Kidd but I havent really clapped eyes on Blair to say how hes looking. In theory that midfield may be a bit more potent going forward and solid enough.

I would to see what Blair could offer and think Saturday would be a good opportunity for him. If not him then aye kidd in there.

Nelson is interchangeable for either of the front 2 aswell I would say, although I did think before Nelson and Jak together but I am starting to think that might be a wee bit too weighted towards directness. One striker right on top of the centre halfs and one floating about coming deep or drifting wide doing Louis Longridge stuff might be a better combo. Nelson is going to have a bit of a job gettimg back in but the way he plays would make him a nightmare for CHs off the bench after 60 minutes of being aJakked constantly and getting megged by King Louis.

Believe The Hype Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Aye I have not forgot Nelson. Think he is a cracking player and a fantastic addition from the bench with the line up. Would make it very difficult for tired defences to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 f**k knows with us. If everyone was fit I'd be quietly confident of getting a result but it's a lottery as to who's fit enough to play just about every match now. Fail to win here and we can accept the play-offs, no chance we'll make up the required points with the games remaining if we don't win. After this Falkirk game we have 3 games at home (ICT, Queens, Brechin) and then an away game to Brechin. Huge time for the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 2000 extra folk on saturday! Hope plenty of them turn up. Not so many that I cant get my usual parking space, but a good few. Sticking 2k onto a (already huge) gate just like that for a relegation clash with Dumbarton though.... What a fucking club.

O'Kelly Isley III Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 In truth this has looked like a league season too far for us from quite a way back, and I'd expect us to finish in the position that we currently occupy. We've never at any point had a settled team over a run of games, and the never-ending injury situation has been a steady drain on both players and morale. We have though competed in just about every fixture, and have hardly had a tanking, but a truly miserable strike rate has had it's effect. No raising of the white flag yet however, and with the Challenge Cup Final as an interesting diversion I expect us to keep having a go. Falkirk will probably have too much for us on the day though, and maybe we need to begin to focus our attention on securing our status via the play-offs. If we can muster our best XI by that time, eg Boomer back in, then we have a fighting chance of staying up. Nil Desperandum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I imagine they'll go into the North stand. Great idea for the club when that stand would likely lie empty for games like this. Only issue is that every time I can remember us running promotions like this we've got beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 If over 6k turn up for this (2k freebies or not), then indeed, what a club. Like The Hype’s starting line up. The Yak as a wee bulldozer, King Louis to pass the ball into the net and with a decent midfield that looks capable of winning a scrap, then Sibbs is free to do his thing. Hopefully we are at it from the get go. We haven’t scored against them this season (yes we have so that’s bollocks). Win, and then we can have a wee glance upwards at ICT and the Fifers. There’s few games this season that could truly be described as “pivotal”, but this just might be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkthebigclub Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I love how the club are taking pressure away from Tackles regarding the gate. Everyone knows 2000 extra Bairns will be there for the grand occasion that is #TT100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young gun Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The Bairns are some squad indeed,I’ve always been impressed by Falkirk fans since the times when you could go and see superstars like Latapy,Stainrod, and the like. I worked in Falkirk at the time, and many great days at Brockville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
