The reality is the League Cup games are basically glorified friendlies for us anyway. Aye, true - although in part because we are usually still farting about trying to assemble a squad by the time the L Cup group stage starts. If we're not careful this season we might have most of the squad in place before the L Cup group stage starts ... "might" being the key word here of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may well be better placed this season to actually be in with a shout of challenging for the top spot in our group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieField Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Disappointed with the lack of signings in the last week, still nowhere near enough signed and the season starts 4 weeks on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're disappointed with the number of signings made so far you must have been really upset at the number made by this time in the past two seasons. I think we can just about field a starting XI just now whereas we would have struggled to field a 5-a-side by this time during Johnston's reign. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 100% agree. Ahead of Dobbie's last season I think his pre-season was just him kicking a ball against a wall for the most part till the obligatory jobbers were signed.

I was hoping for a squad signed for pre season training with the season now starting in 4 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like a squad big enough at pre season training to start getting organised and fit now (season starts in 4 weeks). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Pleased to see Gary Oliver join Falkirk. I look forward to booing him, as is the norm, over the upcoming season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We done him dirty by not renewing by using Covid as an excuse on his deal regarding appearances. I’d personally have been happy to have him as a squad player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 He's just one of those players who infuriates you when he's an opposing player. Niggly, moaning at ref etc. Sorta guy that is a bit of a cult hero when in your team. I’ve never really understood the dislike towards Oliver.

If you include Wullie we have 14 1st team players just now . Think WG will be waiting to see if Cooper East Connelly and Fizpartrick are as expected definitely away. Do not expect any of the 4 players I have mentioned to be at pre season training with us . He will then add to the squad still plenty of quality players availble . The transfer window will officially be open on Friday. Hope we can add Broadfoot and Savoury but will be difficult as both players will have other offers . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as the players we've offered deals too there will be other offers out there that players will be sitting on and targets identified should offers be rejected.

Yep, wouldn't see that as a stellar signing for Falkirk, although he'll no doubt be decent at L1 level. Tricky but frustrating wee player that never seems to carry the goal threat that you would think he should. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
