oot_the_loop Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Highlights are up on the Youtube channel, sadly the camerawork for our goal is shoddy so cant tell how decent a strike it was. The defending at both partick goals was captured perfectly however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we were awful in the LC but the two last second half displays were encouraging. I know we never played well in the first half yesterday but we did come close a few times in the second half and on another day we may have scored 3 goals. Reality is we lost 2 games by a goal in each, it's not as if we were scudded in both. I know our fan base is fickle like most, we are either heroes or zeroes! don't you think it might be possible we looked good in the second half of both games because the opposition were winning and allowed us to attack more? 2 up front and plan to attack from the get go, then let's see what happens..........don't set out a team from the start to play safe, then turn around and blame the players for not coming away with a win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knee jerk reaction Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Cheers to ranaldo bairn, was interesting and good to get a link to another historical website. Better meddle is excellent but didn't know about the other site, will check it out (Probably check website out during a game, must be better than watching us at the moment!!)

Guest Back Post Misses Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Na of course not, it's been 2( two) league games neebs. Sick of BPM blaming the board tae, f**k all to do with them right now. They have brought in a manager we were all pleased with, sanctioned 15 signings and that mug can't get them to play. He is the problem first and foremost, and I'm giving him one more chance on Saturday to see if he has learned from His mistakes. We have been in this league for nigh on 10 years. Will the Board never be made accountable in your eyes? They hired him. Their strategy. (About their 5th since 2010) If it fails they are culpable. No? Hartley needs time, but it was he who talked about quality signings, he who said he would win Falkirk the league no one else. Still in the camp that a good few of these are not the players he wanted. The last minute loan signings of the last two weeks tells me that. He wanted the Jak back, they wanted the lad from Everton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to go with two up top this weekend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk_Bairn_1983 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) A few folk saying Hartley didn't get who he wanted to sign. That maybe true but he didn't need to go and sign a useless dud from Livingston instead. Anyway that said we're 2 games into the season and he should get a bit more time and hopefully things click eventually. A bit of confidence could kick our season into gear.

Signed a week after one of our targets went elsehwere. I don't disagree with this, I don't agree however with some of the comments about panic buys. You don't spend six months drawing up a list of targets and only have one per position. Some took longer than others due to waiting for clubs to make their mind up, or to negotiate fees. When your first target goes elsewhere, you switch to the second target, and that probably takes another week. Would be interesting to know who Mackin was the back up for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk_Bairn_1983 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Petra was on the radar since January so no excuses at all in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn Necessities Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I've always thought the way to do this is to have 3 or 4 "marquee" signings. On maybe a grand a week.. or a grand and a half. Fill the rest of the team with jobbers or youths, maybe loans on max of 400 quid. (Academy.. cough) Quality over quantity. Do t blow your budget was crazily.. just use it differently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok you do take a risk with inuries but I'm willing to accept that to bring in a better quality of player than some of the tosh we're employing at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries are only a problem if you have players you'll miss. There's not one of this lot id be gutted to know was missing a game with the sniffles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
