I'd say the second half is the best we've looked against non pub team opposition for months. In saying that, cannot miss three sitters and lose three terrible, terrible goals and expect to get anything from a game. Either encouragingly or annoyingly, I think if you put three or four more competent players in the side we'd be decent. I like this formation and Williamson has been very good the last couple of weeks. The tempo second jalf was much better than the first. We should win next week with this side but until we add more solidity instead of Hall/McKay and get some proper mobile midfielders in we're the fifth best side in the division at best. Maybe I've had a few q too many to really focus enough but I didn't see much improvement. The goals we conceded were the same goals we have conceded all season and id be ashamed to conceded them playing a Sunday. They are dreadful goals. Maybe that doesn't say much about our attacking play but defensively I can't remember being worse in the 20 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall and McKay is a goal a game to the opposition at a minimum. McCann got roasted today too and went to bits in possession for the last half hour or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Thought that was a fairly even game overall. We’re an absolute shambles at the back and will automatically concede 2 goals to half decent opposition until that’s addressed- Hall and McKay poor as usual but the other 3 weren’t great today either. 3 great chances missed as well. 2 centre halves still needed along with a defensive midfielder and striker- Keena’s not the answer alongside Dowds as he just doesn’t contribute enough imo. I’d also be looking for a goalkeeper- what Martin was doing for the 3rd goal I don’t know (albeit he may well not have been fit). I wouldn’t be playing Mcguffie at CM or at all tbh. He’s not good enough on the wing and is effectively a man down in midfield. Edited January 15, 2022 by PedroMoutinho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are games where points are available and we're just gifting them away by not bringing in new players we so badly need.

Reggie Perrin Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Another striker would be welcome but absolute priority must be sorting out the centre of defence and getting a decent defensive midfielder in. On reflection a good goalkeeper should be more of a priority than a striker as well. Edited January 15, 2022 by Reggie Perrin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkBairn2021 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The Facebook page is genuinely the gift that keeps giving 'Lads, I'll probably take pelters for this, but I'm just putting it out there..I don't think we're going up this season (frowny face)' Oh do you think?? Let's not be too hasty here Nostradamus. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 18 hours ago, FFC 1876 said: Bit disappointed we never got any new faces in this week. So same starting eleven as last week barring any injuries or covid drop outs. The new system and Williamson being fit for this game should hopefully cause Airdrie a lot more problems. Morrison needs to be more clinical this week as we'll need to score 2+ to win with dick & dom at the back. Could one of the FTV guys on here maybe ask Rennie in his post match interview for an update on the squad. Is Mcdaid back at Dundee? Will Ruth be staying for the season? How long the injured players are going to remain out for? And as a side piece ask him how long he reckons it'll take him to punt Mckay & Hall to buggery. This didn't age well, still FTV get the questions asked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Doesn’t matter who we have up front, with that defence we’ve no chance of picking up any points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPar Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 19 minutes ago, champions said: If theres a way to lose then I suppose that is it. Plenty of effort and clear cut chances. Tbh, that might be fair enough if we were in the Premier League. At this level, I'm not too interested in Falkirk "losing the right way". We've lost - again. That's it. There is simply no sign of any change to the pattern that has been set pretty much since we were relegated to League One two and a half years ago. Knock a few past a rancid Clyde or Dumbarton without too many problems. The following week, against any opponent who would even come close to meeting the description of being remotely competent or organised - well, we simply are not winning games of football. 5 points from a possible 27 against today's opponents in the past three seasons sums it up - just shameful. Trust there will be significant movement on the player front this week - both in and out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 If we don't sort out the back it really doesn't matter who is up front. Every single one were culpable today. You can't expect strikers to go out knowing they have to find 3/4 goals a game to win it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
