Harry Kinnear Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Watched the highlights and this shows how more creative we were yesterday and how players we have all slagged off performed when the team is set up to attack. If the management team change this in the remaining games and we fail to win the league it has to be on them. We definitely have the players with the quality to win our remaining games but we have to attack teams. Sammon and Keena need game time together to form an understanding.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 For the first time in a long time we actually played to Sammon's strengths. We know he can't win aerial duals (especially given the size of your average league 1 CB) - but give him a ball over the top to chase and he's surprisingly quick, defenders shit themselves and he causes all sorts of havoc. I also thought the central midfield partnership of Alston and Telfer worked really well yesterday. I like Gomis but we weren't really effected defensively by his absence and we also so much better going forward through the middle as a result. Same middle to front team next week please and hopefully the injuries to the players at the back aren't too bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in our team can get the better of their man next week. That was a feeble performance and it doesn't sound like they were up to much in their two matches v Thistle either. Nothing other than a positive approach will do on Saturday. None of this Raith away shitebaggery. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Sammon has turned into a horrendous finisher (not ideal for a striker) but I think more than anything he gives us a psychological edge we lacked with keena isolated up top. Centre backs in this league are basically pish and sammon is built like a brick shithouse, is fast, and when he gets stuck in like yesterday Centre backs must hate it. They’ll know him as a striker who’s played at a very decent level and had some really good seasons (well before us). He puts us on the front foot from the off, rather than the opposite. I wonder if the team talk for these guys should be “go out and play a simple 4-4-2, and play the game like the opposition have killed your granny.” Our best performances have been aggressive - cove at home when imo it was clear Miller had got into them and said he really wants to beat Greasy Hartley, and yesterday, when it was obvious they’d said look we’ve basically not attacked in 5 games, let’s go for it a bit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 4 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: Let’s hope that the managers have now learned their lesson about the set up of the team. Alston had his best game since returning worg Telfer and him combining really well. Sammon had his best game in a Falkirk jersey. If he plays with that pace and power no one can live with him in this league. Keena clearly benefited from a partner. Morrison had a terrific game. Hopefully Dixon’s injury is not too bad as I liked the look of the back four with two kids and two experienced players. Fingers crossed we don’t shit in the nest at Cove and we don’t get Raith and Partick levels of cowardess in terms of set up. I agree with all of the above here but we know Gomis or Miller (probably Gomis) is coming back into the team for next week. No way they have the balls to play that CM pairing away to Cove IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not really attacked for 16 games never mind 5. I think yesterday was one of our best performances, if we'd played anything like that for full season then there wouldn't be so many of us calling for M&M's heads. Telfer really has turned up this season, makes a big difference when you've got a centre midfielder always wanting the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter LaFleur Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I’ve got a bad feeling we will go Miller Neilson Durnan Dixon on Saturday with Hall out. Nothing against Miller really but I think Neilson is better utilised as a right back. Hopefully Dixon’s injury doesn’t keep him out of Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS RR Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I'm not wanting to piss on the parade but lets remember who we were playing against yesterday, another poor part-time team who are playing far too many games at the moment. That performance really didn't give me that much comfort. If we are on the front foot against Cove and get a result I'll be pleased, but I think we'll be negative against them. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 No way will M&M go looking for a win. If we get it, then great, but the plan will be to stifle them and accept a point. It’s who M&M are, and it’s what they’ll do......a straightforward “revert to type”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 It really shouldn't matter what Partick are doing, the league is in our hands. If we focus on winning every game from now until the season end then we'll have done the job. I don't fancy us after the split so the next two are must wins for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) It's official Steven Pressley is nuts, he has just stated on Sky Sports news that Hearts being back in the top flight is good for Scottish football as it means the big 6 Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and Dundee Utd will all be challenging for the title. Just shows it's not just his hairstyle that is living in the 1980's Edited April 12, 2021 by Harry Kinnear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 The BBC have had Pressley on a lot recently and he doesn't half chunter some absolute shite Marginally better than Collins and Levein but that's not saying much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 No idea why the BBC don't tell him to smarten himself up. What is it about that hearts period that produced so many utter tramps like Pressley, neilson and Hartley. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
