The Falkirk FC Thread


Recommended Posts

Looking at those teams submitted I'll make two points.

1. Lewis Kidd is shocking at right back and would expect McGhee to start there. He's looked uncomfortable at left back but he looked good on the right.

2. Robson is not a left back. That's the reason he hasn't been getting played there. Don't know why we kept him if we're planning on playing a flat back 4
Muirhead isn't a right back but we've been playing him there for over 2 seasons now!

Guest Back Post Misses

Not so many saying it is too early to be critical this week........

How many more weeks till we get everyone up to speed? Find a formation to suit the players? Get our quality 20 goals per season strikers?

Did Falkirk let Taiwo go or did he want to leave? If it’s the former you lot are mental. What a player.

Problem is he only plays for half a season. Misses too many games for the type of player he is. Cant fault his effort though when fit.

Why are people suddenly claiming Robson isnt a left back? He might not be a terrific one but he can definitely play left back competently. 

Unlike McGhee who's a fucking shit left back 

Hes a great left back in the right team. Going forward excellent and defensively whilst not his strong point will  do a job with a solid centreback on the left side.

We all (bar BPM) cut him some slack to use the LC as a time to gel a team. Thing is, it hasn’t worked, and as feared (if you are being kind), we were nowhere near ready for a league campaign. If you are being brutally harsh (honest), Hartley has enlisted around a dozen players who will never ever be ready for Scottish Championship football, yet again, some of those have long contracts.

We all wanted what was a refreshingly different approach to succeed. God knows, it might all come good, but that’s end of the rainbow bollocks.

Hartley has to be a seriously worried man tonight. He managed to cajole a bunch of misfits and “couldn’t care less” players over the finish line last season, but given free rein to overhaul the entire club, it really does look like he and his contacts have made a complete mess of it, and there’s now no room to correct those mistakes (even if he is capable of recognising what he has gotten wrong).

Nobody doubts Martin Ritchie cares he is a fan like the rest of us! The issue is he is a custodian not a leader. A great custian who did a great job sticking his neck out when we were in real trouble. But handing the reigns to politicians and lawyers will result in sensible stagnation (its what we have had for 10 yrs) and  the fans are fed up with mediocrity.!

We're played six competitive games.

In five of those games, we've conceded in the first half. We should have conceded in the sixth one but Forfar missed a penalty and hit the woodwork twice. 

Virtually every one of those first halves saw a poor performance which often saw the team jeered off the pitch.

 

Nobody has scored against us in a second half. Every goal we're scored this season has come in a second half. Every decent performance we've put in has been during a second half.

 

Hmmn.

Is your point here that we should be booing the team onto the park?

Because I’m on board with that.

He can't defend that well. He can play LWB and go forward but he was always suspect at defending last season
