Very good manager that probably deserves a crack at Full Time football....but with a good job at Remax (I believe), would he want it?? Certainly someone the Falkirk board should be looking at when you consider the job he did at Albion Rovers, East Fife and so far at ourselves. I could go into details as to why I think this, but I'm obviously aware that it would be going off topic on this thread. PS - He plays 2 up front 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was your best areal threat against us. Quite surprised McGlynn subbed him off on Saturday. He's well suited to arriving in the box late to get on the end of crosses. Harder to mark that way. Edit: So what I mean by that is, he'd be well suited to a midfield role over a CB role I reckon.

Doesnt do anything with the headers. It's all fine and well getting to them but continuously heading them out for a goal kick doesn't cut it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all fine and well getting to them but continuously heading them out for a goal kick doesn't cut it. Fair enough. Still, he was at least getting on the end of them, unlike anyone else. Mental that McGlynn sets you up in a way to throw countless balls into the box, without really having someone decent to aim at. You've players of ability who could easily pass their way into the box, the same way McCabe has Airdrie playing. Yes work it down the channels, but then play through the defence to create scoring opportunities. We've scored for fun that way this season. In Morrison and Kennedy you had two players who could shred defences, but neither were that good at crossing. McGlynn didn't use them to the best of their abilities in my opinion. That whole run down the wing and throw a cross in is exactly why he shows himself up as a dinosaur. Zero flexibility in his approach. One trick pony stuff. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't play at all like that, until the last couple of months. Utterly obsessed with wingers floating it in from any angle. I think Dunfermline away broke him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I said: 1 hour ago, Blame Me said: I understand fans want things to immediately click ... You replied: 1 hour ago, Ecosse83 said: Or just sign a better centre back Which proved my point that rather than try and develop the players we just go out and sign "better". 7 minutes ago, Ecosse83 said: What are you actually talking about mate? You are making no sense at all ... So I'll explain - although I didn't think it was that difficult - Since Henderson doesn't want to play midfield and others - I'll assume yourself too - don't want him in midfield the two options are bench or offload him. In either scenario we're now signing two players to solve CB and midfield to potentially solve one problem. We've also then continued to do what has gotten us nowhere for the best part of 4-years of rebuilding a squad but never actually doing any squad building! Henderson is miles away from the Seb Ross's or Brad McKay's of the recent past and I think there is a role for him ongoing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly didn’t go to the early games and see Henderson attempt to play centre back I take it? I prefer Henderson in midfield and have never said I didn’t like him there so don’t assume bud! I want us to sign a commanding centre back to partner Donaldson, Henderson isn’t that player! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Henderson's a difficult one as he did have a few shockers at centre back for us. Allan, Agyeman & Higginbotham all bullied him and then there was the stupid penalty he gave away at Dunfermline. He provided a bit of fight in our midfield but him and McGinn don't work in the same midfield against teams where we're going to dominate the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is we never seemed to have anyone on the park who remembered he was going to try and do that.

SouthStander1876 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Something else that annoyed me was that Mackie and PJ must've kicked the ball out of play about 10 times between them under no pressure. Worst one was PJ kicking it out from a free kick. Also the fact 2 of our players went up for the same ball 3 times, 1 resulting in the goal and 1 resulting in Max being headbutted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
