gav-ffc Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I was just reading that. Maybe we should offer them a shit-hot young English striker, fast as lightning and extraordinarily skillful (he can beat the same man 3.25 times before falling over).

ShaggerG Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I think I'm right in saying that, other than some of the really young guys, we've only got Vaulks, Kingsley, McGrandles, Sibbald, Loy & Roberts signed for next season and Kingsley may well be sold. I don't think Holt's any option but to free Turnbull, Dick, Rowan, Faulds and possibly Grant too as they've been around for a while now and aint gonna make the break through. Looks like big changes ahead! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 We also have Olu for next season and perhaps Bowman? Bowman? Rowan Dick Vaulks Kingsley Olu McGrandles Sibbs Loy Roberts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 We also have Olu for next season and perhaps Bowman? Bowman? Rowan Dick Vaulks Kingsley Olu McGrandles Sibbs Loy Roberts Well, aye, that kinda illustrates my point. Forgot about Ollie but, if I'm being kind, his lack of match practice is letting him down!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 What are everyone's thoughts on Holt on here? How do you think he has done so far? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Baptie Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 With both hands up his back as oposed to Prwssley's 1, I think he is doing as well s he can. The likes of McCracken, McGovern and Millar are the guys on the pitch that should be carrying the team on. Personally from. Points total, we are doing as well as could have been expected, in my eyes. If the board had given Holt the sort of money required to attract better players in certain areas, then we would be top. Had we had Millar from the off I'm sure we would be in a better position. But at the end of the day, if yer aunty had baws and aww that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The MAC Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 If the board had given Holt the sort of money required to attract better players in certain areas, then we would be top. think thats what falkirk lack, a little bit of experience in there, weve got a young team aswell, but with jason scotland and courier upfront, neil and routledge in midfeild and canning and cuthbert at the back and in goal we have much needed expereice, jason scotland was a superb signing for accies in january, rumors are hes on well over 1,000 a week and he rejected aberdeen and dundee to come to us, i suppose that comes from the money we got from mccarthy, pity yous just got your mark stewart money there and not 2 months before. f**k dundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk-Bairn22 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I get the feeling Holts signings have ended up being our downfall, that's nothing against the players who I think are both be capable at this level. The problem came when he tried to shoehorn the players into the starting 11. Beck should have been used as a player to bring on if plan A wasn't working and Chalmers as a player who could cover across the defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Apart from Loy and McCracken the signings have been a bit meh. Yesterday shows how much we missed Roberts, he takes up two opposition players and creates space for Loy to get into. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgerlugs Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 On Holt, I will be pleased if he gets us into the playoffs. We should be consolidating over the next couple of years, not over extending the balance sheet, but building a fighting fund and using it to retain the best of our youngsters, and seeding the team with experienced players who can help with the youth development on the pitch. If only there were a few more Owen Coyles.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Play offs was best we could achieve in my eyes pre season, tho looked like even that would be an achievement one week to season started as we had at that point only signed Ollie and lost Higgins, Murdoch, Dods,Taylor, weatherston... To replace them with Loy, Roberts, Ollie, McCracken, Millar and have one of our longest shut out/ unbeaten time is a well decent achievement. Holt has done better than Elvis for me as he has obviously had a lesser budget, played to win games and 90% of the time speaks the truth, doesn't hide under any bollox shite we got from Elvis. He like any manager has had some scratch head selections and subs, but its been his inexperience to deal with Roberts would be my real gripe towards him... I have previously said, our strongest 11 is a match for anyone in this league but having that 11 isn't obviously enough, we don't have game changers on the bench, we have prospects who may go on an be the next Mcgrandles, Kingsley etc...thats the difference between play offs and a serious challenge... 7.5/10 for Holt for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Baptie Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Holt is 2.5 years behind Pressley in experience as a first team manager. It's one thing dealing with youngers in an U19/20 academy. It's another when you have to ask these types of players to perform week in week out and compete in a competegive league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
