wellsince75 Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago We were poor and to be honest I thought we played into their hands. Subs were poor - Sparrow & Longello were the minority offering something, appreciate the latter may be struggling with injury. We simply didn't react to their 4 subs, didn't changes anything and could have played all night and not scored. Expected better game mgt by the gaffer but equally appreciate a decent point on what is another dreadful pitch. Will stop now before I rant about why SPL entertain such nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed Most of the game but what I did see was mostly scrappy. Don’t think I missed much with only one shot on target from each side. hopefully normal service resumed on Saturday at home to Livi. One shot on target yet the Falkirk keeper made two saves! I think they just make up the stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Celtic apart there is nothing to be scared off. Just take each game as it comes and try a win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago A great result, if not performance. Falkirk are playing well but are benefitting from spades of good luck. Add to that a poor plastic surface which was deviously managed and we can be very satisfied tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnstone Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Another point on the board I suppose. If someone said to me that at the start of the season after 15 games you would only have two defeats, then aye I’m going to bite your hand off for that. Actually looking at the table this must be some kind of record for the number of draws so far for all teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Falkirk have an advantage playing on that pitch. They were powder puff and once the 50 50 started to even out they offered little going forward. I think cook just and TJ should be our front 3 against livi.

Richie Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Frustrating I wish Longelo would just cross the ball sometimes Thought Sparrow was playing pretty well Actually thought Priestman was good. Tidy on the ball and the odd burst and drop of the shoulder Ward, McGinn and Welsh pretty solid Slattery a bit off it again Hendry gives off Bull in a China Shop vibes at times. Still only 2 losses at this stage is good going and youd hope we'd dispatch Livi at home on Sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsterwood Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Poor today. Not direct enough. Thought we missed watt. Thought we played much better against Hearts. Thought when we brought on O'Donnell and Stamatolopolis , it made us worse. Prob should have got Charles Cook on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago That’s the poorest I’ve seen us on the ball this season and it’s no coincidence it occurred when Watt was missing. McGinn and Welsh probably our top two performers for the 2nd game in a row. After an off-performance against Hearts, I was expecting Slattery to bounce back tonight but it wasn’t to be. Hopefully he can provide goals and assists soon as it looks like our no.9 position is becoming an issue that won’t be resolved soon and poor Said looks incapable of finding any composure in the box.

sinjy Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Off topic but I have just watched Kilmarnock's equaliser at Tynecastle. The lines are drawn and it is identical to Hendry's disallowed goal on Saturday. The scorer is leaning and his shoulder is in front of the defender but this one stood. Very frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Ward almost caught out with long range effort today, just my opinion but I am not convinced with him, just feel there is always a blunder due Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure he will still make mistakes when under real pressure . But his passing outfield and distribution have been excellent starting off a few good moves. Confident with passing and the ball at his feet in the box. Cant expect him to have everything or he wouldn’t be playing with us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spit_It_Out Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Good point not a lot of teams shall keep a clean sheet and take something away against Falkirk this season. Slatterys mind looks elsewhere at the minute he has been so off the boil last couple of games been so so poor.Slows down the play alot and his passing recently has been shocking all over the place. I do think in January we need something different up front in the middle still lacking that difference between a point and three points kinda player that can nick a chance. I hope we can hold onto Welsh if not have a near enough exact replacement he has been top drawer compliments McGinn perfectly. Anyway onwards to Livi and a few more layers of clothing it was Baltic last night lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slattery not been playing well, he may benefit from being on the bench for a couple of weeks. We have enough depth to replace and personally I like RCC he gives more width and supports longello nicely . Welsh for me is captain material and if we can we should spend a few quid and bring him perm . upfront is an issue , AP and Hendry are not great as lone strikers . If we can get Sule back and fit he looked to have strength to be they player but we need something diferent and can see Stupavic or Robinson solving either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree his distribution has been better since his clanger at parkhead. I am old fashioned and want my goalie saving shots and collecting crosses. Defence in front of him definitely helped last few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
