FFC 1876 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I think we've played well. Durnan's showed his qualities at the back or complete lack of them. It was always going to be a free hit and Rangers have showed why they're dominating this season every time they go forward they look like they are going to score. I'm hoping Laverty comes on so we get to see a bit of him. Sammon's put himself about but he never ever looks like scoring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 This was always going to happen, and why it was a shite draw for anyone who wasn't delighted about seeing their Big Team play. Folk creaming themselves because they can remember us giving 'the Gers" a "good game" in the past. Conveniently forgetting that we're stuck in the third tier and they're about 200 points clear at the top of the first. Just need to hope our morale doesn't take a kicking. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day a recent bench warmer in Hagi is probably on more than our squad tells you all, no fans is a bonus for Rangers too. 7 minutes ago, Ranaldo Bairn said: We can't afford to lose our 1st choice keeper and captain/best defender and compete with a team of that quality. It's really only Gary Miller, tbh I think we have been more fluid in midfield without him there and has Hall been the weaklink, nope that's been Durnan. I don't think we have been shockingly bad but we are playing a team outwith our budget if we were in the top league, so league one it's just fukn huge gap. We haven't been Hamiltonly bad.....I hope we score at least, yes sounds defeatist but as I said earlier we had more chance of winning this than me winning the lottery this weekend that I didn't put a ticket on for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 We've competed much better than I thought we would tbh. Passed it around well enough, just making the wrong choices in the final third at times. Really poor defending for the first two goals, especially the first. Durnan really is capable of making some fucking terrible mistakes. Not much we could do about the Barisic freekick. Disappointing to be 3-0 down but at least we didn't have to run up a £16m loss to assemble our team. Looking forward to getting back to league duty next week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Much better having a camera looking away from Grangemouth brownfield sites, even with nobody in the stands. Falkirk TV should get used to long johns and a thermos flask. Edited November 29, 2020 by welshbairn 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The result isn't that important but I do think this shows how unbalanced our squad is. One player out and we look shaky as hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Done not too bad but you’ll never win when you concede goals like we have. The first and second in particular will be punished by anyone never mind Rangers. Sums the game up, we have two decent chances at the start of the second half and they go up the other end and it’s 4-0. How long will we persist with Durnan? I know it’s hard tonight considering Miller isn’t available but Durnan is a disgrace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer is our only real right back and he can't get a game because a 33 year old is deemed a better option. Even Durnam got a game before him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 As expected, weren’t embarrassed so let’s move on. I think Mutch is a better keeper at this stage of their careers than Morrison. Would like to see him back in next week. He must be hungry to go 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XabiaBairn Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Shame about the score because I was really impressed with most aspects of our performance tonight.We had good fitness, attitude given we were behind all game and we were prepared to take the ball under pressure and pass it.Play like that and we should stay top.However, three players were stand out weaknesses in an otherwise good performance.Durnan is like starting a goal down.Todd specialises in giving the ball away.Salmon can't move when the ball comes his way.And OK the keeper is probably alright at our level but not against that opposition.If we replace the three above (Kenna Connolly and Miller?) and sign a centre back in January, we will be on our way.Time to be positive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I think Connolly looked very good when he came on. We have bigger fish to fry, we weren’t disgraced and played some no bad stuff at times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Agree with most of that. We did better than I expected and our fitness looked quite good. Just glad I was watching from nice warm house with wife supplying us with great buffet at half time. All in all, reasonably pleased. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 All in all, reasonably pleased.That would have done. Outed yourself over this fixture tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we are unbalanced because we don't have right backs in a game where Hall didn't really do much wrong other than his attacking was as akin to G Miller. I'd have pointed more towards centre back myself but in a 27 game season it's about right, as I'm sure you have suggested today's game was either a free hit or an unwanted game without £s coming in for it. Although 4-0, I think there are more positives than negatives considering the huge gap, for me we passed it better and rarely went long ball as we have on league one business. We were lacking in the final third but the difference of quality of opposition made that harder compared to league one opposition. Anyone moaning today is either a wind up merchant or deranged 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 After tonight's showing I hope to god Mercer's back fit for Peterhead as otherwise Durnan will have to play.
