I know, McGuffies goal today wasn’t bad was it? And just think if Morrison learned to pass Kennedy would have scored too….

Thankfully we’ll never have to test the quite horrendous theory, as John Mcglynn is an actual football manager. 

Well done to Mcguffie on his first goal of the season.

So let’s just be clear here. Falkirk are only doing well this season due to a single midfielder apparently performing well because according to you the rest of our midfield are shite?
Yes, I think I’ll pass on your judgement too….

Way to put words in my mouth! 
 

Morrison is by far our most influential midfielder. Goals win games and I shudder to think of our goal scoring abilities without him. I honestly think that, without him, we would really struggle.

Does that make him perfect or unselfish? No! 

An attacking midfield of Mcguffie Nesbitt and Kennedy, however? Fine. That is the sole alternative. If that’s what you want then sweet.

I don’t think a draw away at Montrose is a particularly bad result. But equally it’s yet another game against a top side that we’ve failed to win.

It’s all very well beating your Peterhead’s and Clyde’s but won’t be going up this season either automatically or via the play offs if we cannot beat these top 4 teams.

Morrison on it is our most effective player. TBF he has been on more often than not this season especially after the first 2/3 games. 

Like most yesterday he let his standards drop a bit.  

Alegria’s physical presence was missed yesterday as Burrell never won anything all day. He would play Tuesday for me.

Really enjoying mcglynns post match interviews. Honest, very clear assessment of games. Describes what we did right and wrong. Puts fair pressure on players who haven't done well, praises good performances. As a fan gives confidence.

Re the debate on whether a draw at Montrose is an acceptable result I'm in the camp that says it is. A draw away at Dunfermline and Montrose is a worse result for them ... especially IF we beat them at home

In many ways it was very much like the 0-0 game earlier on in the season, scrappy affair with nothing really between the teams. 

A draws obviously not a bad result but for me it was just disappointing to see us perform nowhere near the level we've shown since that 0-0 game at the Falkirk stadium. Too many times we tried to dink a ball over the top which Waddell & Dillon loved heading away.

Because we took 10 points out of 12 from you last season. Because we have been in the play offs every season since we have been in league 1. Something that you haven't. You are in the seaside league on merit.

We are absolutely here on merit and you won’t find a single Falkirk fan who will tell you different. However last seasons results and your playoff history has absolutely no relevance to yesterdays match. We have a new management team and 8 of our starting 11 have changed. Looking at both teams, yesterday is a game we should’ve won and the fact we stunk the place out and came away with a point seems to back that up.

Strange decision regarding the penalty.  The challenge was virtually identical to one at Links Park when Michael Doyle barged into a Montrose player and a penalty was awarded.  

That said, if we had won it would have been a bit fortunate.  I thought it was a decent match with neither team dominating even if we looked the more likely to do so 2nd half - but we were far from our best esp 1st half and the error by Burrell that led to their goal was very poor.
