OK will do for me, for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 First three . Despite Durnan slipping he got his angles wrong was way to near the post and lease a pass into the goal too simple Second one he dropped the ball at the guys feet. Third his positioning of the wall and himself was very poor. He is a young guy and I’m sure he will go on to do well in the game but we have the best keeper outside the premier league and although he was rightly punished for his cock up it’s time to get him back in . So he’s better than Craig Gordon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bejazz1 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 They put 8 past Hamilton and are averaging nearly 3 goals a game in the Premiership. We're a third division team, I think we did ok. When the first went in I really thought it could be a humiliating circus on a Morten level. I think to be fair. Rangers IMO took the foot off the pedal. When you consider the main changes they made combined by subbing players and bringing on kids. It’s hard to get a real measure how good or how well we really competed and to compare that game to any SPL fixture would be totally wrong. I am sure M&M knew the score was never in any doubt and there would only be one outcome. The bigger picture for is is how we bounce back and ensure our confidence is where it should be. We are top of the league and I expect us to remain there. As many on here will remember when we were sitting top of the league and going to Celtic Park and being totally thumped 8-1 and we went on to win the league comfortably that season. It is up to the management duo to lift the team spirit and keep it there and do what we NEED to do this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure his form this season up till then had been anywhere near the season before either. Morrison has done fine so far. I'd wait till he has a poor league game if he ever does before making a change. The thing is in Mutch's defence he is the last line of defence and a keeper is only as good as what is in front of him and the issue with that he has had Durnan, Hall and Mercer all have been criticised on here for their defensive capabilities or lack of, especially Durnan. I would say the most pressing thing on the lads mind is which one of the above 3 names is going to arse it up and is he going to need to bail out. Basically its not a case of when they arse it up, its who and to what extent that being on the lads mind as well as trying to do his job and read the game. The forfar sending off was a soft one but the ruling is raising a hand to another player which he did even if it was a gentle tap on the back of the napper. Remember Danny Rogers being slaughtered by Dumbarton supporters on here when he was on loan at them and I am sure Arbroath supporters said Mutch will never be a decent keeper and look how they both panned out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he was well before Wilson appeared. Would be interesting to know if Falkirk have ever approached him. Must be Falkirk fans around who still keep in touch with him that could find out surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id actually worry if Morrison picks up an injury because him apart he's the only one forward that's scoring somewhat regularly. Dowds you feel needs a few chances to get on the scoresheet and Francis looked like more of a creator before he lost his place to Sammon who just isn't a finisher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick_- Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Some people on here must not actually watch us play, Mutch was at worst slightly shaky in that Forfar game. If you look at what Mutch does he's excellent, holds on to the ball rarely parry's or punches, his distribution is outstanding, probably the best I've seen from a falkirk keeper which in the modern game is vital. He makes big saves and almost always provides a safe pair of hands, not to mention the fact he is our player and possibly only asset left in the whole club. Yes what he done was stupid beyond belief but it's time we get him back in (once recovered). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies must have been mistaken with the Danny Rogers one but definitely remember Mutch being slaughtered and comments along the lines of will never be a decent keeper, though after his first outing against Livi at Almondvale when Hartley took over I dare say a few of us were questioning him as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
