18BAIRN76 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 A great win today. First half we were far too pedestrian, but McGlynn obviously had words at half-time and the first half of the second period we were flying and scored two cracking goals. I have to say I’m still not convinced Oliver as a lone-striker is a long-term answer, but he was much better in the second half and he took his goal superbly. From looking like we were going to go on and score more, the game slipped a wee bit away from us when we made the subs. I don’t think it’s overly negative to suggest Burrell might feel a little aggrieved not to have come on following his recent run of form and tbh that’s the change I would have made, but I’m not in charge (thankfully!). We ended up seeing it out pretty comfortably and it’s a fantastic result given Clyde unexpectedly getting a result too. If we keep this up, we might be in with a chance, you know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Has anyone used the Fanbase App to buy tickets for Kelty next week ? I’m just on to buy mine but I don’t get the option to choose the away end or the North of the ground as it is ? Can anyone help ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 If we were chasing the game, Burrell 100% would have come on. Meekison and Wright are new and clearly Mcglynn wanted a look, and to give the fans a look. It was a game where we were 2 goals up and cruising. If McGlynn had turned to others in a tight spot then yes, he could feel aggrieved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The next few games absolutely critical. Another 4 very difficult away games. If we can continue our recent form, it’s a given whoever comes out best in our games with fife won’t be far away from top spot. Kelty (A) Alloa (A) Darvel (A) Alloa (H) Airdrie (A) Peterhead (H) Montrose (A) Then eight remaining games which three out of last five at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 59 minutes ago, Bairn in Exile said: Surely the pecking order for our strikers now has to be 1. Burrell 2. Allan 3. Wright and 4. Oliver? Burrell and Allan are ours, out and out strikers, Wright can be used if Burrell and Allan are mis-firing and Oliver is not a striker but a good support for a striker. Today also highlighted the massive influence Henderson has on our midfield. The minute he went off we seemed to lose all cohesion and it got quite harum scarum at times. Thought it was a poor substitution by McGlynn taking Henderson off unless he had a knock? Wright would be no4 for me for now, very much a rookie and it all depends on how Allan settles in, playing one up top hardly gives anyone a chance to stake a claim and as results go, we have to trust McGlynn. I've already suggested the double sub didn't help us, don't think I'd pin it down to one of the subs. I personally would've had Burrell instead of Wright which may have made the change easier instead of bringing two young players who haven't been in the door long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcglynn perhaps thought it was a decent chance to give the new boys a bit of game time with us two up and cruising. He probably wasn't expecting the ref to make the game far closer than it was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecosse83 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Burrell still best coming off the bench for me, think he needs a wee bit more experience to be consistent enough from the start but hopefully that comes! It’s great that Mcglynn has these problems though! Edited January 28 by Ecosse83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I think we need to remember this is burrells first real full season in pro football. He's learning and he's going to have ups and downs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkBairn2021 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Enjoyed today. Despite that shambles of a ground that's really not fit for professional football. Thought we totally dominated it and could have won by 5 and yet at 2-1 a few worrying moments. Highlight as well that fud Maybury trying to get I to it with a couple of fans. What an absolute helmet. f**k you. Topped off an excellent day out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Brilliant to see that the complaints re centre holding midfield have stopped. McGinn and Henderson appear to boss it which greatly helps the attacking players. What a difference but sometimes forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reading was that he was being protected from that arse of a referee giving him a second yellow card. Actually thought his booking was the only decision the ref got right all game. A breathtaking display of incompetence. Highlight clearly being playing on fir 5 seconds after the Edinburgh player went down with a nothing injury then deciding as we were going to score that he was about to need an undertaker. Worst ref I've seen this season. By far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Been a long while since we had the luxury of having serious contenders for many of the positions of the starting eleven. Hopefully that competition will spur everyone on to be at their best. Looking forward to the rest of the season now. Our best signing has been McGlynn for sure.

Big chungus Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 1 hour ago, Bairnardo said: Burrell will get plenty of chances. Anyway, I wanted to mention Brad Mckay today. His renaissance is old news now but I thought he was rock solid again today. Mackie was harum scarum at times and hives away too many stupid fouls. It absolute must be Mckay and Donaldson at the back for me. IDGAF who kicks with what foot. They are by far the most solid options. My only worry with CB pairing of McKay and Donaldson is that did we not concede 4 against Airdrie with them at the back and also 3 against Clyde? Not the best record. Please correct me if I’m wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We technically only conceded 1 or 2 with Mckay & Donaldson at Airdrie as Mckay went off injured when we'd made all our subs then Airdrie went on a flurry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbri Bairn Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Pretty sure that a few points will be dropped by us and the pars before the season ends. Our job is to make sure we drop 6 points less than them. Teams f8ghting for a play off place and also scrambling to avoid automatic relegation will prove a big task to both teams Edited January 28 by Bigbri Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big chungus Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Archie done his hamstring. Hopefully not a bad tear but probs a few weeks out which is really disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
