Bluegrass Bairn Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 As a wee afterthought I liked the look of today's 4-1-3-2. Miller as the 1 and Gomis (rather than Danny Devito) as the middle of the 3, & LM giving much-needed (and sadly lacking until today) proper support to Declan would be ok by me. P/head were awful today, for sure, but thought our set-up looked promising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Problem is that im not sure starting Miller and Gomis together would be a great idea just because around an hour is probably all we can expect from them. I'd go Todd for De Vita but thats more out of hope than any evidence as i haven't seen too much from him yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The council will be delighted to sell to FFC after all if the price is right then most assets can be marketed. I suspect the price demanded however would put the football club out of business. The fact is we have fucjked up big time when we did the deal with the stadium company. Look at the comparative success at Livingston , yes there were and still are lots of dodgy goings on there but the people running the club have also made some great progress with little or no money assets or fan base. The reason is because they are run by a small team of committed local businessmen . Ten years ago we were light years ahead of them but our MSG chose to be “ hands off “ and for the large part the decisions have been made by MSG puppets management consultants former politicians and accountants . What a kniunt of it they have made! The term “committed local business men” means something entirely there. Ask yourself why the guy who did 6 years for his part in a cocaine supply ring was installed by a “third party” as assistant manager, and despite numerous managerial changes,he is still there. That’s a different kind of commitment. That is a “club” that should never ever be lauded for anything it does....particularly around money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Looking at the remaining fixtures we will get 16- 20 maximum. Will that be enough ? I have my doubts. Have this feeling its going to be a last game shoot out and hopefully Falkirk getting the draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Raith will be 13 to 15 points.The question for me is whether going into that last game we would rather be looking for a draw or a win. I’m not sure it wouldn’t be better needing the win. We’re not great when the opposition has to come at us... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not great when the opposition has to come at us... Playing for a draw would end in tears ! Would prefer a rip snorting winner takes all cup tie. Suspect though fear of losing will rule the day and be a ' lets not lose a goal in the first 20 minutes ' attitude for both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my doubts. Have this feeling its going to be a last game shoot out and hopefully Falkirk getting the draw. I've been trying to convince myself that we are still in with an outside chance and Falkirk's last 4 games are the thing I'm clinging to. Clyde - who you've lost 3 out of 3 to, both East Fife and Montrose away - both sides will be scrapping for play-off spots, and then Raith. We will need to beat you in the game before those games (highly doubt we will), if we did I could see you struggling with those fixtures. There's no big difference between Falkirk and Raith's fixtures but for some reason I see Raith picking up a couple more points. I think if I was a Falkirk fan I'd take going into the final day needing a win right now. If any side can get 70 points it's theirs. More likely total will be around 68/69. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we shouldn’t rule out anything in this league but it’s a tall order to overhaul us both..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 If it does all come down to goal difference at least we've got a nice cushion there, 20 ahead of Raith and 25 ahead of Airdrie after today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Falkirk v Raith on the last day the semi-realistic aim has to be just to hang in there and try and make up 3 points between now and then to put us in striking distance on the final day if it was to be a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Just for fun, and I think I’ve got this right, but as it stands the two play-off semi-finals would be:Airdrie v FalkirkEast Fife v QoSGiven our record v all of these clubs over the last couple of seasons that would be a tricky challenge for us.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Interested to hear the thoughts of BPM on Millers performance and impact on the team. Strong claims he was done. He could be the difference in the run in. Didn't see the game but by all accounts did well. He also made an impact Tuesday. Well done Lee you are proving me and others wrong. Still not sure why it has taken so long given the dross he has replaced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you mean that only needing a draw might lead to us changing tactics and making an arse of it, but the bottom line is we havent been great at breaking down the better teams in the league and always make a c**t of it when the big crowds are in, but our defence is relatively solid in terms of goals conceded. I'd much rather they came with all the pressure on them, and if neither side can find their shooting boots then we are the ones who go up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be playing all our games closed doors by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
