Alan Murray Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Bell Elliot,O’Ware,Mcginty,Penrice McCarthy,Slater Spittal,Erskine, Storey Doolan How we deal with Haber and the second balls that will come from Falkirk punting the ball at him all game will be key. Big game for McCarthy - need him to step up and break up play and win second balls. Allow Slater to concentrate on being creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Storer will start but as to who he replaces I'm uncertain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 12 hours ago, Norgethistle said: Not sure what team or tactics (Hopefully a change from the monotonous side ball, big punt to no-one) for tomorrow, we really need some speed and (forward) movement, be interesting to see if we can field a full subs bench, not heard of anyone injured. The "monotonous sideball" isn't a tactic, it's a case of players being too tentative and playing the tactics at too slow a pace - it means opposition gets time to cover everyone and there's no space for anything but a side or back pass. Players need to get confident and pass more sharply and give more movement to offer pass options. Short term it's the players' fault, if it goes on long term then the management are failing somewhere, Too early at the moment to say, though hopefully players back and more signings soon will fix it. A win, however jammy, would help as it might give players confidence to play more aggressively (in footballing sense). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'd like to see something like - Bell Elliott O'Ware Keown Melbourne Spittal Storer Erskine Penrice Doolan Storey But I think it will be the old 4231 with the same lack of cutting edge and creativity.

If that is the team that is anounced as I an driving to the game, I m turning round and going home. Last year taught us you need central midfielders .

Big Col Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 And last year taught us we need goals and creativity and forward minded players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Last year also taught us that we need to be properly resourced and organised before the season starts, irrespective of where we finished the previous season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Peebles Tackle Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 One short for a full bench it seems. Big ‘light’ in midfield I think. Fingers crossed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi Nurainen Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Britton says, unless I misheard we need four players to add to the 'quality we've already got'. Absolutely incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legend Blows Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I've gone 2 nil Falkirk and 3-1 Falkirk. Betting on our opposition for the rest of the season unless something dramatic happens squad wise or management wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely incredible. The word quality is usually mis-used to infer good quality. Maybe Britton was simply using the word correctly.

Muscat Jag Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 It does sound a very positive performance so far. We really need to keep going at them; please no holding on to what we have in the 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Very positive performance so far. Storey dynamic through the middle and using his body well to secure the ball and drive at the opposition. Penrice clever run into the box and deserved the luck with the deflection at the end. No luck about Erskine’s goal. Combined with Christie, beat X players in trademark run and brilliant finish. He has still got it! Christie an inspiring captain. Absolutely bossed his side of the pitch. Just hope we keep playing positively with well-timed subs and do not revert to a have and hold mentality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
