kingjoey Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I would love to see Darvel in the quarter finals, but can’t see Falkirk allowing themselves to play the same way we did against them. Unfortunately this will probably be a 3/4 goal win by Falkirk. Hope I’m wrong. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk have no excuses for any surprise element, everyone has seen what happened v Montrose and Aberdeen. I don't think Falkirk will take the match as casually as Aberdeen did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Just got to hope McGlynn keeps the heid and doesn't overthink it. We all know he has a tactical brainfart mod he likes to install now and again and I'd really prefer he kept things to the same XI/XVI that have been doing so well over the last month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could happen and there is perhaps a little bit of pressure on Darvel now with increased expectation, but you just have to look through the squad to see they shouldn't be losing by 3 or 4 goals to Falkirk. They've already pumped Montrose 5-2 away as well as beating Aberdeen and if they were in League One this season they would certainly be above Clyde and Peterhead at least. If they play to potential it will be a test for Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the million pound question. JMcG has a nasty habit of fiddling to fiddle, especially as the season progresses. For the first half he stays consistent, but in the second half his results tend to drop off as teams see his side a third and fourth time, and he overthinks the tactical aspects of that. Darvel, at least, is a new opponent, but there is a lot of inadvertent pressure on Falkirk here not to Aberdeen it…and that may well cause JMcG to try one of his brainwaves. If Smudger has input, he might rein changes in, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can lift your game to do well in 2 or 3 Cup games, maybe helped a bit by being underestimated by the opposition and high on the hype surrounding your games, but it's a different test altogether over a full season. I'm not overly familiar with Darvel's squad tbh apart from 1 or 2, but I'd be surprised if many League 1 Managers would be queueing up to sign them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Darvel manager mentioned on Friday night that Ian McShane was his best player. if his performance at Falkirk was anything to go by then I’m not so worried about the quality of their players….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got in early so was at the front and because the terracing had been built up I had a great of view of everything that happened. That isn't true quite a lot of people that arrived 15 minutes before kick-off had a poor view of the game. If you wasn't in the front 2 or 3 and not that tall then you struggled to see the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Darvel are a top League 2 team and the next few years it will be interesting to see if they continued to be bankrolled up the divisions.

I would normally agree that cup games are not a barometer of how a team would do in a higher league but Darvel is not a normal situation, a lot of those boys are playing well below where they could be. I'd happily take a few of their players at Alloa. In this particular League One season Peterhead and Clyde are shite and there is no doubt Darvel have better players than them (and have spent considerably more cash on their squad). They'd also be better and more expensively assembled than several League Two sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i'm in the minority of Aberdeen fans that think that. Darvel also beat Stranraer away from home last season Scottish Cup.

Stenhousemuir against Aberdeen was certainly a bigger shock back in the day, they had considerably less resource at the time than Darvel. Tier 6 v tier 1 is going to attract lots of attention but Darvel's cash and the fact that the pyramid isn't near settling makes it very misleading. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
