FFC 1876 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 How did Yeats do at right back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkBairn2021 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Shite as yesterday's performance was, it does give us a really good chance of getting out of this group. And we could do with the money. Beat Clyde and Bonnyrigg and that should be that. Incredibly at this level that might be enough to fund a player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that us, Dunfermline, QoS, Airdrie, Montrose and Kelty will all think they can finish in the playoffs. We finished nearly 30 points behind Airdrie so that’s a huge gap to close and apparently they were very good yesterdy albeit vs a poor Cowdenbeath team. Montrose again were better than us last season although nowhere near as far ahead of us as Airdrie. Dunfermline have a new manager and a massive turn around of players but started with a win yesterday and will look to build on their momentum vs Buckie during the week - winning builds confidence in my opinion which is never a bad thing and confidence is something Kelty won’t be short of after last season. QoS are another side who were horrendous last season and will have a huge turn around of players. Our first game vs Montrose is a real opportunity to see how much we’ve improved as we’d have lost that last season. Hopefully we’ll see 2 strikers, 2 midfielders and a right back arrive before then - I think our new defence will be just fine tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with most of this however I really can’t see us having 5 new players here in time for the Montrose game, possibly before the end of the transfer window but even at that it’s a push as I reckon we’d need to move at least one/possibly two out the door first. If we get the right players in I’m content to wait rather than jump at another Jamie Wilson type signing but the obvious risk is we may not have the squad ready in time ti start the season.

FalkirkBairn2021 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Yeah it's all speculation until we see the squad at end August. Everyone knows we are miles short. And we also know we are going to be disappointed when the window shuts as we'll undoubtedly have way too much dross. I like McGlynn's reaction yesterday. He'll be putting constant pressure on the board to do more I'm sure. He doesn't want his reputation to suffer and is a winner. The areas of concern in the squad are glaringly obvious - fingers crossed from me that we can pull a few rabbits from the hat. It's a shame now we have the first real manager in a long time we seem to have the least ability to overhaul the squad completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s actually done alright (for him) when he came on but clean through on goal 12 yards out and he tries to turn back If this is the chance shown in the highlights then it appears his movement was to shield the ball, failing to do so, and the defender manages to toe it away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the highlights show it well. At the time, he looked to check back for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was that or a bet he made with his mates. Signing Wilson might have been Holt's worst mistake. And that includes signing his son who isn't a footballer.

Gary Oliver had worked his socks off all game more or less on his own and taken a fair amount of battering. He needed to be taken off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen Johns interviews I have a sense he has no problems expressing his views and wouldn’t need to do something like that. The weak links yesterday was the squad members he inherited, with the new additions showing up best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point I was making is the Board are well aware we need re-enforcements it didn’t need McGlynn to bring on Jamie Wilson to prove a point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
