We don't really do the whole promotion / relegation thing much. When we were promoted in 2002 we'd been in Division 2 since 1989. We've had two promotions and one relegation in the last 30 years!

I suppose in 1994 we kind of got promoted, or kind of avoided relegation, depending on how you look at it. We remained in Division 2, the third tier, but were no longer in the bottom league. Otherwise though, we really have stayed put a lot - pretty remarkable when you think how small the divisions are and that there's so much movement between them. I suppose given that this is probably about the right division for us, then it feels more like stability than stagnation. A shot at the top flight would be nice though. Can't see it anytime soon, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Standard (apparently) saying Doyle is a doubt for tomorrow. No Doyle doesn't bear thinking about. ETA. For Saturday. Been thinking it's Friday all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out no Doyle with Fordyce already out injured that would leave one central defender of any experience (minimal) by my calculation. It`s almost as if our squad doesn`t have sufficient depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkthebigclub Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 QOS fans: If you hear lots of animosity between our players/fans/coaching staff, no need to be alarmed. It's caused by a process known as gelling. Hopefully it wont ruin your visit to The Falkirk Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be that crunch late stage in the season, when the effect on the squad of injuries and suspensions kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Yep, Fordyce out for maybe 8 weeks, Doyle and Todd having late fitness tests, possibly not a very strong starting 11. Maybe a chance for a couple of the apprentice journeymen to come in and show what they can do. If that happens there's a possibility we may not have a full bench. Anyway, getstuckinabootthem Queens.

Look on the bright side. If they come on and do well, they will pass their apprenticeship and become fully fledged Journeymen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour is even Paul Hartley himself didn’t manage to guess it correctly last time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS_Blue1919 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 If Fordyce, Todd and Doyle are injured I’d say our best line up is this: Martin Mercer, Jacobs, Semple, Marshall Stirling, Harkins, Bell, Murray Dobbie, Dykes bench: Leighfield, Gourlay, Harvey, Watson, Exley, Tremble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 and many more were probably injured on our pitch. The question is, were they injured because of the pitch? I think there's a lot of assumptions made about plastic pitches causing injury. I'm not saying that the plastic isn't to blame for specific injuries but I'm sure there are a lot of others caused by frozen, rutted grass pitches too.

I would consider Martin Mercer Doyle Semple Marshall Stirling Harkins Jacobs Todd Dykes Dobbie or Martin Mercer Semple Marshall Jacobs Bell Harkins Dobbie Todd Dykes Top line up is the priority if Doyle fit but if he not then the 2nd line up Jacobs and Bell can sit deep and help protect Semple. Harkins Dobbie and Todd could give us our creativity and supply Dykes. Could Gourlay possibly step up into the back four as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
