Bigbrbairn Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Good vibes about the season after that display and we still have options on the bench ( did not think I would have said that 7 days ago ) Knowing Falkirk it will be downhill from here. A bit of hope followed by a kick in the baws usually 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have Falkirk teams in the relatively recent past come up against terrible teams and gone away with an unconvincing 2-0/2-1 etc? Ruthlessness was a nice change of pace and hopefully something we'll see more of.Hopefully acts as an impetus for putting Montrose to the sword next week, and then taking that attitude into the rest of the games. Could certainly sense a change of atmosphere in the south stand today when the fifth goal went in - we've now proven how good we can be so it's down to Ray and the players to drive the point home over the next few months. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jan Vojáček Posted August 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2019 I can't really be bothered saying too much after that utterly predictable shambles of a performance given I've already had to relive it, then try and fix the GoPro, but here we go anyway. I'm 99% sure this is the worst Dumbarton squad I've seen. There is a horrific and terrifying lack of ability right throughout it. You could count on one hand the number of players who you would say are technically good. Sure we've got a few who are hardworking jobbers...But other than that, nope, we are awful. I honestly have no idea what we do with the defence, because they've been all at sea absolutely all season. It was horrible watching Crawford today, and Duffy did the right thing hooking him, because he was struggling massively. When he came in he looked so confident and far more mature than a 19-year-old taking his first steps in senior football, but since being destroyed at Cappielow he's looked a shadow of the fearless player he was. Quitongo had a howler and can't jump, and Neill is at fault for at least one goal every single week. McGeever should've done better than being brushed aside at the first, but at the moment pairing him with Carsy would be our least worst option imo. I thought McMillan was awful today, and those years out of senior football look to have seriously taken their toll. He was slow to react, clumsy tackling and spent more time shouting at the referee than anything else. Further up the park McKee, Carsy and Hutton don't work as a trio. They all get in each other's way and there's no width at all. Ideally I'd start McKee and Carsy in a 4-4-2, but we need Carsy at CB and cloning humans is frowned upon. Crossan and McCluskey work hard, but they've had very little impact between them since the Annan game. PJ is technically decent and very skilful, but also tries to do too much too often. Can't blame him given how isolated he is 99% of the time. McCluskey meanwhile covers a stupid amount of ground, but just fails to ever look dangerous. His finishing is miles off what we're needing, and his final ball is really poor most of the time. Given how far off it Layne looked when he came on too we've got serious issues at both ends of the pitch. Now, aside from all that, Falkirk will walk this league. Trust me. They were so sharp today and are packed with really talented players; Connolly, Tidser and Telfer are glorious footballers to watch when they're in that mood, Sammon was excellent and McManus did what he's always done at this level - score goals. They looks miles better than the Arbroath team that basically strolled it last season, and if they don't have it won by March then McKinnon should be emptied. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find I have mirrored your words above in my previous posts. I'm waiting for where I'm being negative. Dumbarton were horrific, don't think even Dumbarton fans can say otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 When was the last time a Falkirk player got a hat-trick at home in the league? I can think of Hippo at home to Forfar in a cup game and Baird away to Dumbarton a few years ago.Wee bit more about Jim Duffy but his tactics throughout the game today was completely baffling. First half of course we went in dry so his master plan for the second half was just to move McMillan from playing in the back 5 to in front of the now back 4. Then he proceeded to change his right back with every substitution. Just weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, we're in league 1 for a reason and have no devine right to win any game. Sure we have a talented group of players but they need to apply it on matchday and beat what's in front of them. We did that today by scoring 6 goals, creating a load of chances and playing some really nice, entertaining football. If people cant be happy with that then they would be as well finding something else to do on Saturday afternoon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
