Ecosse83 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Another frustrating day for us. A few positives though in Mackie and Kennedy. Mackie looks a better option for me now than Henderson! There has been improvement but it’s stalled a bit now. Time to be realistic though and remember where we have been the last few seasons!

roman_bairn Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 We’ve dropped far too many points overall this season. Mcglynn has been well backed by the board and the results aren’t justifying that at the moment Imo.I said the same thing a few weeks ago. We are no longer title contenders and I won’t consider us so unless we overhaul Dunfermline….that could only happen if the Pars collapse so highly doubtful.Our best hope remains the play offs, but I wouldn’t be confident as we tend to have too many poor performances amongst the good.Three wins in our last eight league games, not quite enough for the title sadly but I expect us to make the playoffs….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecosse83 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 What game was Mcglynn watching today? Sounds a bit delusional in that post match interview 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 What game was Mcglynn watching today? Sounds a bit delusional in that post match interview [emoji2357] He’s the best manager we have had since Houstie. However I’m beginning to think we have stretched his capability to the limit and making us better still (which we need to be to go up automatically), may just be a step beyond him. However some of his substitutions baffle me, and probably also cost us vital points….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they’re great managers or McGlynn is poor but still has a lot to prove in being a good Falkirk manager. His win rate in the league is only marginally better than Sheerin’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made an error with my calculation before so it’s not marginal as first thought but just pointing out that it’s really not an amazing record especially considering McKinnon had 60% and M and M had 67% as a win rate from League One matches.

Always thought the abuse they got on here was mostly unwarranted and had more than a few run ins on here as a result. We could have gone up that first season had it not been for COVID.They certainly were not helped when they had a few poor results the following season and I suspect severely undermined when Holt arrived which destroyed their credibility…… 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 As someone said earlier, we really need to give Burrell and Alegria a run together up top. I think McGlynn has started both of them once yet perseveres with the likes of Oliver whose had far too many chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the wheels were starting to come off from M and M but couldn’t understand the logic in bringing in Holt while they were still there. Terrible decision amongst many by the last board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to give John’s full league record. There is an improvement across the board with last season, but I agree it doesn’t compare with a Declan McManus inspired 19/20 season when he scored 24 goals across all competitions over a season cut short because of COVID. He needs time and another two windows, IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.1995 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Pars the big winners today.Big chance for the Bairns to close the gap.Playoffs???.Aye,good luck with that . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbairn Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 McGlynn has steadied the ship, but I’m not convinced he has what it takes to make us outstanding. Nesbitt can’t tackle a fish supper and McGinn was woeful today as he has been for the last few weeks. No idea why Ola wasn’t started. The only positive thing is that the teams around us are just as bad and it could all go the wire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the wheels were starting to come off from M and M but couldn’t understand the logic in bringing in Holt while they were still there. Terrible decision amongst many by the last board. The impression I always had is that bringing in someone with football knowledge above the manager was always part of the plan after Hartley's disastrous summer recruitment of 2018. Particularly as Alex Smith left that summer. It was certainly demanded frequently on here, with one poster banging on about "oversight" so frequently it became boring. At the time the only people at BOD level who thought they were football experts were a couple of directors whom most fans considered to be buffoons. I have no idea why it took a year and a half to find someone. Possibly getting the knockback from Jim Jefferies had something to do with it. There's certainly no doubt that Gary Holt wasn't a success in the role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) A couple of posts saying McGinn was poor today. Certainly at fault at the Airdrie goal but that apart I thought that he had his best game for several weeks. Particularly effective in the first half, though it could be that age is beginning to catch up with him as he fell away later on, perhaps he was maybe just knackered after carrying Oliver and Nesbit. We would definitely be poorer without him Edited December 4, 2022 by Reggie Perrin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartleys18/19Army Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) The board sympathisers don't want to hear it but McGlynn is badly underperorming and the table shows it. The football on show may appear slightly better but league position it's just more of the same. Some fans say give him time, I say James fucking McPake is grinding out results at Dunfermline and fair play to them.

PedroMoutinho Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Objectively Lee Miller and David McCracken have our best points record so far in league 1 in comparison to games played. Imo it is very poor for John McGlynn to have a worse record with the experience he has and backing he’s been given from the board. I’m not arguing they were great managers but they went from being voted managers of the month to a fortnight later being out the door as the fans turned on them (largely due to a crazy number of injuries in my opinion). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
