Bairnardo Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Henderson and Kucheriavyi are more than capable of running the midfield. Although Finn Yeats seems to have suddenly found himself some minutes after a fairly bit part few months so maybe he plays tomorrow night..... I'd go with Hendo and Kucheriavyi behind Morrison, Kennedy and Nesbitt. Seems like the obvious way to go, with Lawal introduced for half an hour at the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonso Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 What's the general feeling for where most people will buy seats for the semi, North or West stand, especially if taking an 11 year old? Was initially going to go for the West as I thought the wee man would prefer the atmosphere but I think this area is also getting referred to as a "standing" area which would be a nightmare for him. I take him to all the Scotland games and generally go for the East stand but when everybody decides to stand he can't see anything. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Think Nesbitt probably deserves another year after the big improvement he’s shown this season in terms of assists. Not sure however that he’s worth a 2 year extension when you look at what he’s done overall during his Falkirk career. Still too many matches where he doesn’t contribute enough for me and I’m not sure he’s good enough for where we’d hope to be in 2 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B7 and B8 in the West will be 'standing' so if you are looking for the atmosphere without standing B6 might be the best option? Obviously means you are further round behind the goals and the view won't be as good. It's looking like I'll be taking the wee man (all potential babysitters will also be at Hampden). He's not even 18 months yet so it doesn't matter where I sit it I'll miss the bulk of the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I too am in a position where I want decent atmosphere and view but my kid won't be able to see if everyone is standing, so B6 probably the place to be for me. Certainly want to be with the bulk of the Falmirk support and not away round the other side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comment on QotS and Dunfermline. Still, I think part of the issue is McCann and Kennedy had a great team up as well as Rowe and Morrison on the right. Still, I think the pairing in McCann and Kennedy has fallen away more on Kennedy's part, which I dare say he is trying to get himself in the shop window for the end of the season and finding a new club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann has had his poorest couple of games of the season. That’s happens after being on a run of form like he has. Don’t read to much into it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I think that it’s fair to expect players to have a wee spell when they are maybe not at the top of their game and form tails off a wee bit for a couple of games. We all have times at work when we maybe aren’t at our best. I think McCann, Nesbitt and Brad McKay have on the whole been excellent for us this season and look totally different players to last season. The credit for that has to go to John, Paul and the rest of the coaching staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Look at his interview from the start of the season even though he said it was terrible last year and his dad always reminded him your only as good as your last game. It was also had to do with who was around him, in fairness after last season I never wanted to see Brad McKay in a starting 11 (ate my words on that one) but even when McCann has been poor he is still a 7 out of 10 for performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 18 hours ago, Springfield said: McGlynn quoting “running on empty” and various interpretations of legs gone, which for me if anyone at his age needs to continually fall back, it a fair assumption that he’s feeling the pace.

Now, was it McGlynn’s words or the journo’s words? It’s hard to say as grammatically the use of quotation marks are very inconsistent, but the OP of the phrase certainly didn’t make it up. There is mention of hamstring and knee, but clearly there is also “running on empty” in relation to McGinn as well as “leggy” in relation to the team.

Aye, I think the 'running on empty' bit is the journalists as McGlynn mentions the rest of it in his FFC interview. I don't buy in to the 'his legs have gone' chat at all though. He's not a box to box type, it's his job to sit deep and take the ball from the defenders but he still gets forward regularly when necessary IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
