Zbairn Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Was pleasing on the eye yesterday ! McCann was man of the match for me. I posted some time ago that him and Morrison on the left hand side will pose problems for teams when we are going forwards. As indicated above, he has some leap for a wee man and gets stuck in. His problem (if it is a problem) is getting stuck up the park if and when the opposing team counter attacks fast.....but that's what the holding midfielder is for and a game reading CH, to cover for him. Had to love the fact at one point he went on a mazy and ended up at outside right. Another thing is that we now have options up front on how McGlynn might want to play. Alegria to hold the ball up or Lawall/Burell to run at players. With Henderson back we have cover for defence / midfield. My only concern is right back...but I think Yeats is actually making that his own position. He is a cracking footballer and reads the game so well. Although Williamson had a blinder last time out at Westfield, I still think he can't tackle or defend properly. Lastly, a shout out for Pearse Carrol. Only a cameo appearance yesterday but he looks like a footballer..... great control, head up, picks a pass. I don't think he will be with us for long once he gets a few games under his belt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need a wee tap these days and it seems to be ok to fall down and claim a penalty. I preferred it in the days when the contact actually had to be enough to knock you off your feet for it to be a foul or a penalty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Still feel the size of our team without Henderson in it may cause us a few issues. Yesterday we still looked a bit shaky under cross balls but then apart from Donaldson and allegria we aren't exactly giants. Henderson helps a lot in that area. Heard corzo was away by the way not sure why or where though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPar Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Leon McCann has finally been given an opportunity after being criminally and consistently overlooked by last season's pair of absolute numpties. He's in a good run of form. Despite taking a dull one just prior to half-time yesterday he completed the full 90 minutes and turned in another excellent performance. So now the shouts are for him for be dropped for a game three weeks away by those just choking to say "Told You So" Desperate, desperate stuff. Sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re a joke club. I won’t red dot you. I will just allow my heart to pump custard for you as you struggle to control your straw clutching neediness…….bless your cotton socks. I did detect a wee *sob* in your post, but let’s not dwell on it. You’re a big boy now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Definitely happy to see Henderson come into the team in place of Mackie who’s been great but McCann can’t be dropped at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big chungus Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Mcginn suspended for Tuesday nights game. Be interesting to see if he plays Henderson CB or at CDM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Must admit to not being overly fussed about Tuesday. If we lose, I won’t be overly bothered, and if we win, I will be pleasantly surprised. For me, it’s all about the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the biggest Falkirk side I have ever seen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t in the best form whilst we’re in form. Will be interesting. FWIW, I don’t want to see Mackie at LB again unless for injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) We now look to have cover for every position but if we are to make another signing I would like us to bring in a right back to enable the laddie Yeats to move into the midfield.

Bigbri Bairn Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 in Turkey so missed game sadly. Watched Lawals header. Last player i remember with diving headers like that was Farid! Hope this continues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it’s difficult to single out any player in what was our best teams performance in maybe two years, Yeats covered every space, his reading of the game/anticipation is excellent and looks so comfortable. Great performance by the young lad. Agree about Carroll, once he gets strength and first team fitness, he’ll be a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was mentioned earlier when McCann fancied a wee turn at outside right late in the game Yeats went across and covered for him. Reads the game superbly well for such an inexperienced player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Anyone who accuses McCann of being weak defensively or poor in the air is doing so purely on his height rather than his performances. He’s got some leap and times his jumps very well and actually wins more in the air than he loses. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
