Reggie Perrin Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Apparently our next televised extravaganza is against East Fife. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauriestonBairn Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Another team we struggled against last year. Expecting another tough game against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 1-1. Can't see East Fife not scoring while we are struggling to muster any sort of decent performance, if Swanson plays then I can see him causing our defence all sorts of problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 We've struggled at the start of this season, I managed to watch bits of the Cove game and from what I saw they ran out deserved winners. The Montrose game was a back and forth game but we were 2-0 up and managed to only cling onto a draw by the end which was disappointing, we need to stop giving away so many penalties. As much as it's a tough few opening fixtures, if we end up with 1 point from 9, we're already chasing the pack as far as the play-offs is concerned which would be a bit of a worry given 10% of the season will already be completed. We need to start getting some momentum otherwise it could be a bit of a slog for us this year. 1-0 Falkirk, Tonks to score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty poor on Saturday. I sense we're going to see a real hot and cold season from him, which is to be expected given the type of player he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's up against Mark Durnan and Ben Hall so he should be ok on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever we come up against a team with an obvious standout player - Dobbie at QOS, Goodwillie at Clyde - you can bet your life on them having an outstanding game and destroying us single-handed. Happened countless times. We have no clue how to nullify these types of players. For 90 minutes on Saturday, Swanson will look like Messi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkthebigclub Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Looking forward to watching fan favourite and summer marquee signing, Blair Alston, continuing on his long and arduous journey back to being fit enough to face part-time opposition in Scotland's 3rd level of professional football. Yay! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Puddefoot Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I expect M n M to change the midfield again,to try and get some drive and positivity going forward. Much made of dodgy defence but we also need a decent 90 minutes from Dowds and Francis not just flashes here and there. Eh, so basically all areas of the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifer67 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 On our day we have the ability to take something from the game. However I’m afraid we just keep losing far too many cheap goals. As said before that’s 3 penalties against us in last 3 games. So to get anything from the game we need a 100% improvement defensively. Hopefully Dunsmore , Dunlop and Ryan Wallace will be back on Saturday. I hope we go to have a go and don’t try and sit in. There’s not much chance of keeping a clean sheet so we’ll have to come out at some point in the game, so let’s have a go from the start. If we can stop shooting ourself in the foot and defend properly there is no reason why we can’t take something from the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We evidently don't have any change of pace (first gear only) or any movement off the ball (pretty much all our attackers stand back to goal ball watching) or ability to stretch defences ("give the ball to Morrison" is our sole strategy, and already we've been sussed and he gets double-teamed). It won't be pretty... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatdoug1938 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I love how the most powerful league in the world are having to have a rethink of the £14.95 as it's way too much but we're fine with it in League 1 in Scotland!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk season ticket holders watch this game for no extra charge. If £13.99 is too much then don’t pay it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 We will concede do I think this will be 1-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthefife Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Personally, won't be paying £13.99 to watch this. But anyway, 90% certain this will end with a win for the hosts. I think we're still a long, long way off from fulfilling our potential with the squad of players we have. And I'm not yet convinced that Darren Young knows what his strongest starting XI is, which is alarming given we've kept more or less the same squad as we had last season. Our biggest weakness is the back line and centre midfield where we are so easily beaten. Thank goodness for Hamilton who always looks a real threat up front. Swanson struggling to hit the ground running so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
