Gaz FFC Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Been a while since we visited the new place. Falkirk v St Mirren games have mostly been at this level in my lifetime, yet for a while there it seemed we had both made a step up. What do we expect next week then? After out last game we were top for about 36 glorious hours. We are now 5 points behind Rangers. St Mirren have just won a tough looking away game at Dumfries. Sounds a good game in the making this.

Coventry Saint Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The return of the P&B Derby. Can't call this one, mind. Our record at our new(ish) ground is poor, but we do have a good squad and it looks like it's starting to come together. 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston_bud Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Remember Higdons 40 yard volley in off the underside of the bar ? Best goal I've seen at the new ground, better than Carey's against Hearts for me. Remember loads of Falkirk and St. Mirren fans said Higdon was shite?? As for the game; I'll be in Spain, might try out this new live streaming service, as I fancy it to be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulysses Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Looking forward to this one a bit more after the win at the weekend. Still have concerns about the way Murray has us playing, but hopefully the team is starting to gel now. Pleased for Thommo getting off the mark, and delighted to see Webster absolutely strolled it. Noticed that we haven't actually conceded a goal from open play (in the league) since Ibrox, so wonder if Falkirk are good at set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbhaf Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'm sure I remember going mental at a Falkirk goal disallowed at St Mirren Park, somebody nicked the ball off the keeper and put it in. Sure I was proved to be wrong about the rules afterwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half our games so far, we have scored with set pieces, if we get the delivery right we have a few options in there Id say our set pieces can be more potent than our strikeforce at the moment, adds up as our strikers havent scored in the league yet.

Guest Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 If we handle the little dude on loan from Celtic we will do ok. We are hard to beat and the poster who think St.Mirren will win 3-0 is way off the mark. We may lose but it would be by the odd goal I guess. With the best part of two weeks off we should have a full squad to choose from. As long as Kerr, Watson and Grant are fit I think we will get something. Could be a 0-0.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Assuming everyone is fit, I think Houstie will stick with the 4-2-3-1 that's been so successful in the last couple of away matches. Rogers Vaulks Watson Grant Leahy Taiwo Kerr Smith Sibbald Alston McHugh Subs: Bowman, Duffie, Muirhead, Cooper, Blair, Miller, Baird Personally I prefer 2 up front at all times, but it's hard to deny the formation suits the players we have available to us. I'd keep Vaulks at RB. Him, Taiwo and Kerr all in midfield is overkill imo. The fact there's no space on the bench for McCracken, Sinnamon, Shepherd or the new french striker (if he signs in time) shows we have a decent depth to the squad this season. Pleasantly surprised to see us sitting second with a game in hand. Hope St Mirren have been practicing their corners, other than a foul on the keeper at Livingston, it's the only way our defence has been breached in four matches. St Mirren had a good result on Saturday down in Dumfries whilst we've turned in promising performances in our last 3 (well, 2 and 1/3) matches. I can see a pretty uneventful draw here, perhaps 1-1. ps anything less than a 4000 crowd for this will be a piss poor effort by the St Mirren support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 To be fair other than a couple of goals at Ibrox our defence hasn't been breached from open play either. Conceded a couple of daft penalties though. Agnew/Mallan whips a mean ball in, Thompson,Webster,Kelly,Baird all have height and can cause problems. Now that we have said that I expect another 4-4 all from set pieces . I think we'll get a decent crowd after the result last week. How many Bairns fans will show up? 700ish?

Having seen you lot play Morton the only reason for that is your keeper had a worldy in his personal battle with Peter Mcdonald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great keeper. Can't believe we signed him and Webster. I thought Falkirk got away with one against Dumbarton with the goal that was disallowed for a foul on the defender.

Don't think Iv seen 1 ref play advantage at any point . The linesmen struggle to keep up with play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
