We haven’t scored a first half goal in any league game since Keena at Airdrie on 14th August. We haven’t led in a league game at any point - not for a single second - since Clyde at home on 21st August. Awful stuff, truly pathetic. Would defeat at Broadwood be enough to see the back of him? Probably not. M&M and McKinnon were emptied for less. Other than the clowns destroying our club there cannot be anyone who truly believes he is going to get us promotion this season. Let’s not rewrite history, M and M were on a similar shocking run of results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkBairn2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I'm pretty sure they've written off this season tbh. I think they'll keep sheerin on if he scrapes into the playoffs. They'll tout stability and him improving (he can't get worse) if we reach the playoffs (and lose embarrassingly of course) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted us to concede less (technically, “be more stuffy”) so mission accomplished there. He also said that would involve sacrificing some of our dynamite attacking prowess (so a bit less firepower than last week when we scored no goals). Obviously there currently exists no way to score minus goals, so we had to settle for scoring no goals again (but no need to worry as we created lots of chances). Is this progress? Is this a corner turned? Or do we need to be more patient? (Three questions at the end there.) Everything before that could be considered a comment, or a statement). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are now a First Division team and at best a lower half of the Championship team, we know where our team are and acept we will never be a premier league team but get used to it neither will Falkirk. Look at your team at the start of the season with all the so called "Jobbers" in it they had a better work ethic and better results playing Sheerins tactics than all the dross that has been brought in under supporter pressure. All I can say is C'mon the Blue Toon Peterhead will never ever be in the championship never mind the top flight FFS.

Look at yourselves what do you have, yes a lovely stadium, yes a nice view of the Kelpies and yes a half descent support (the genuine ones) what you don't have is what should worry you, a BoD who are only interested in what they can get for themselves, a guy GH who nobody really knows what he is supposed to be doing especially for 50k a year, owners who don't want to spend money, a team who is going backwards quicker than a Ferrari in reverse, no money to buy your way out of trouble, I could go on and on but i won't all I will say is get used to it cause you will be in the 1st division for a long time to come -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everbairn Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 FFC have only won 7 league games out of the 23 played in 2021. Scored just over 1 goal per game (25) Conceded 34 goals 4 clean sheets Out of the that M&M managed 3 of those wins and 2 of the clean sheets (8 games in charge) The stats dont lie!!!! This form is relegation material !!! If this isnt a sign that Holt has spectacularly failed, apparantley bringing in "better" players then I dont know what is. Sheerin is also clearly out of his depth and the gamble to bring him in has also failed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I take back about the budget if you are telling me it's the biggest in the league, okay and what have you got for that big budget...... oh yes a second rate team. If I were you I would put the Euro millions on as I think that is the only way you will get rid of the Bod by buying them out. On a more serious not the thing that Falkirk FC have not accepted is you are in the 1st Division and need a team to get you out of there. You won't get out by playing pretty football like you did today and against other teams. If you look at what you had at the start of the season you had a system, with tactics, with grafters who Sheerin had working well together and were hard to beat yes I agree you needed an out and out goal scorer but that is where you should have burst the bank for a striker with that ability. You do not win the 1st division playing football you win it by scrapping and fighting for every point. Look at us today we took a point by fighting our way to it and yes an inspired goalkeeper but hey did we come away with something. If your team could have done that against Alloa, Airdrie etc then they may be in a healthier position than they are. We will always scrap and fight to stay in this league but you know what we know and accept what we have to do. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Scott Mercer and Robbie Leitch score this weekend again… slightly pleasing tbh. Leitchs goal takes him clear of anyone in our squad for league goals. Other notable scorers a league up include Connolly and Welsh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know we are in a fight and it was mentioned by quite a few at the q&a on Tuesday night to Sheerin that his style of football is getting us nowhere. It was also mentioned to him that we lack the type of player with the heart for the fight to get us out this league. We're shite and we know we are. Our board just need to wake up to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very surprised Sheerin was your new manager, I would hate to lose him but I think someone like our manager Jim McInally would have been ideal for a job like that, he has the knowledge and understanding of the lower leagues and what it takes to stay in them and with the right budget I think he would have turned Falkirk in to a force to be reckoned with. He has been our manager for 10yrs now and is the longest serving manager in Scotland. You have to understand the position your in and I am not sure your BoD quite understand that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheerin had success with his initial playing for a short while before teams worked him out nothing to do with the fans forcing him to change it. He's had to change it as we weren't getting results simple as that. We all know about the striking situation and that's one reason we want Holt out . We all know that we need a change of tact. You need to battle and play good football. Teams like QoS, Dunfermline and Livingston manage that and won the league by a country mile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you. We have a relative rookie manager, a rookie DoF (not sure we need one) and a board that Phil Rawlins aside has zero experience in the world of football. It would appear we are well and truly f*cked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Its a bit of a misconception for me that dig is for relegation battles. Teams that win leagues arent just more talented. They fight harder, tackle better, run further. It pisses me off that successive Falkirk managers have had us playing like shitebags tbh. The best teams are and will outscrap when needed. If Hetherington as a full time player cant bully players in this league, I have no idea how the f**k he managed to make his mark a league above. Yeah we were a bunch of dirty b*****ds when we won the league. Andy Geggan, Craig Moore, Jamie Adams, Ross Docherty and then Stevie Bell joined later on. Think we played a crunch game away at Raith and we had about 9 players booked. To win that league, a lot of the time, you either have to play or kick teams off the park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Morrison (when fit) and Nesbit’s creativity, going with Keena and Ruth as our 2 main striking options will be really crippling for us as I just don’t think either of them are good enough to score the goals we require to challenge for promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
