gav-ffc Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Could see McGlynn going mental at the side of the pitch several times throughout the game usually when Nesbitt or Morrison were involved. Morrison definitely lost a yard or two of pace but did find it strange he was up beside Oliver when all preseason it’s been 2 wide of Oliver, Dillon bossed Oliver and Algeria all game read the game brilliantly. if Charlie Telfer is the answer I don’t want to know what question is being asked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had three defensive mids yesterday when two, at most, were required. Nesbitt was the only attacking mid in the team. Telfer for Hetherington would have made a big difference to our attacking options. I'm not saying that he's 'the answer' but, if used correctly, I think he would do really well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 1 hour ago, Believe The Hype said: Aye but the main issue is that once he marauds forward he doesn't bother his arse to burst a gut getting back to defend an opposing attack from one of his many wayward passes. Don’t think it’s a question of not bothering it looks to me that he actually can’t get back because he is breathing through his arse. Also shit scared to tackle which is probably a consequence of his injury history but is a wee bit of a drawback for a defender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 if Charlie Telfer is the answer I don’t want to know what question is being asked.Who scored 5 goals and had 8 assists in the worst Falkirk team ever last year, who wasn’t playing in his favoured position, a number 10, is better than what we’ve got in the squad, potentially a realistic transfer with not much else out there, and may get better under a manager like McGlynn?Okay that’s a very long question. I agree with a previous poster, no way would he be anybody’s first choice or top of the list. But when you’re still having to bring on Seb Ross (who didn’t look terrible yesterday but still not good enough) then I could see a place for him.I’m not sure how it ended, whether Telfer wanted to go or we didn’t offer him a contract, but it’s not the worst shout. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I think Telfer's a good bit better than Morrison, Nesbitt and Mcguffie but given McGlynn would have had input in the 14 players we released at the end of last season we're not going to see him back. Wouldn't be adverse to a 5 at the back when all our defenders are fully fit as Mccann for me's too good a prospect to be sitting on the bench. Donaldson, Henderson and Mackie would all be capable of stepping out of defence with the ball too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGPar Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 McGlynn was appointed four days after our final game of last season. Discussions would obviously have been ongoing beforehand, therefore it is safe to assume that he had final say on the released list. Had McGlynn wished to retain Telfer then he would have been offered a new contract. Shouts for him to be re-signed say far, far more about the absolutely pitiful quality of our final third options than they do about any great belief that Telfer is somehow part of the answer to our glaring problems. No thanks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Tbh I wouldn’t be shocked if McCann is no longer here at the end of August. Mcglynn is clearly prioritising defensive solidity and rightly or wrongly 3 different managers have not trusted McCann to provide that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. Exactly. Morrison, mcguffie, nesbitt and hetherington wouldn't be here if their contracts had been up or the club had managed to offload them. More chance of me playing for Falkirk this season than telfer it's as simple as that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope McGlynn gets him to return to form, he used to be the only player we had who could take the ball and get us up field.

Exactly this, out of his 5 goals last season 4 of them were against the bottom two in the league and 1 against Clyde but when it came to any team around us he went missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That indicates McGlynn knows we are short of creativity in midfield and putting the ball in the net and the 3 holding players was being pragmatic. Who and where we get the players to solve that problem is anybody's guess. The lack of other clubs wanting to take any of our players on loan says it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be able to put a side out on the park that can compete with Montrose instead of getting beat comfortably . I really don't see what the issue with that is.

I do love a white monster before the gym. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
