Guest bernardblack Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Thought I should start a match thread here. Our back four looked solid last weekend, but I think Falkirk will have too much for us on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect but Forfar were probably our easiest fixture last season. 11 goals for, 0 goals against over 3 games. I did however watch your highlights vs. Dumbarton and it looks to me as if you have improved over the break? Are any of the new loanees impressing? God knows how we are looking on the injury front so I'd take a 1-0 last minute penalty win for the 3 points. If fit I'd be tempted to line up: Mutch Mercer - Miller - Durnan - Dixon Morrison - Alston - Gomis - Todd Dowds - Akeel Edited October 21, 2020 by wee_bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofixedability Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I’d settle for any kind of improvement on last seasons efforts versus Falkirk. Think it’ll be a long afternoon for the Loons though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Club legend Scott Shepherd returns to TFS, can't wait. Good scoreline last week, not the best performance. Hopefully we've done nothing but practice defending set pieces all week. Aside from the obvious defensive worries, I hope we stick with Dowds and Francis for this and see if they can develop a partnership. If it's not working get BSLM on ASAP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I totally agree. Fully expecting us to lose but as long as we aren't completely destroyed like we were last season against Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Be interesting to see how Scott Shepherd has developed and you've also got Jordan Allan who we had on trial last summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainsfordbairn said in the Falkirk FC thread that he had spoken to him and the injury is not as bad as expected, looking like a short term injury, which is good news! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's excellent news as he's looked very promising from what I've seen of him so far. Francis certainly has potential but is still very raw and whilst BSLM can still cut it at this level he is 37 now - so important to get him back asap. Once Alston gets up to match sharpness and with Connolly back to give another option on the left I think we're shaping up quite well.

ShaggerG Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Strikers tend to be either guys that you hope can score or those you expect to score. To me, and with no evidence really to back it up, I feel Keena is one of the latter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hopefully another win, and a better performance than last week when we were awful but played our get out of jail free card (LM). Still no sign of a new defender which is a concern, as it's pretty much a stick on that Forfar will score. 3-1 us and Dowds to get off the mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's essentially the same back 4 and goalkeeper that only conceded 18 goals in 28 games last season (and only 5 of them were at home) . Although we don't have any cover at CB or RB (unless you include Gary Miller) I wouldn't want us to sign bodies/ shell out wages just for the sake of it, particularly given the obvious budget constraints this season. Although it was concerning that we conceded two set pieces against Dunfermline, the fact it's got them a goal against every other team they've faced this season as well suggests the Thomas > Murray combination is one they've worked on a lot. The goal we conceded on Saturday was disappointing but it doesn't suddenly make us shit at the back. Hopefully we can shift a few more season tickets off the back of last nights vote and get a better calibre of player in as a result 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look about as solid as a pane of glass on set pieces, which is suicidal in L1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
