MOTM Falkirk 09-Aug-2026

[weeyin]

The Conference dip? 

Need some shooting practice before Thursday.

Positives? Still not lost a competitive game.

Now take your pick...

Collectively very poor. So don’t think anyone deserves this award. Best chances first half. We are not pressing anywhere near what we did last season. It’s not even close JBA would have went mad on the sidelines at how pedestrian we were. Johannson mainly had a seat in the dugout and watched like a fan most of the game. We didn’t get a point against this team least season and that’s at least something different but I just feel we could have won that with some pressure. Falkirk strolled that. Vogts was a man short. Longelo is so lazy if he is not attacking. Don’t even get me started on Maswanhise. Has he decided to spend more time on his back than running at players?. He is a shadow of last season.

Our press last season was usually started by Slattery. None up front is taking that role on.

As for MOTM, hard one as alot of average and lazy performances. Sparrow always gives 100% and got my vote. Our center backs strolled it aided by Fadinger.

Longelo seldom lasts 75 mins never mind 90. For a guy his age, and lacklustre tracking back his conditioning seems poor. He is less of a liability and more useful further forward.

Went for Knight-lebel , for his first game I thought he looked very good. Really comfortable and made a couple of important blocks as did Reich. Moorman looked good as well, I hope to god he’s not injured.

[well_said]

Martin Moorman,  a Rolls Royce of a footballer.

[wellfan]

Moorman. An excellent signing. 

[Benson]

Moorman for me,think hes class,the loan signing impressive too,centre of defence good,the rest needs workked on.

[weeyin]

I think players are physically fit enough to play Sunday - Thursday - Sunday, but I think the disruption in training, the days spent travelling and not being able to discuss tactics for (what is to Alfred) a new opponent, took its toll today. 

In particular, neither Said nor JT up top look likely to score.

Still unbeaten though and not conceded a goal at home, and Moorman is a big part of that - so he gets the nod from me.

[Welly Machine]

Went for Moorman. Thought he was solid until having to go off. Hope he is OK for Thursday.

[joewarkfanclub]

Said was good first half. Nothing much came off for him second half.

Oscar and Fadinger both worked there socks off, but the connections in front of them werent there today.

Moorman had a great first half but thought he tired a little second half and got himself in some difficult situations before he was substituted.

Voted for Knight-Lebel. Thought he absolutely strolled it today. Looks a very promising addition.

Apart from the point that we won with the 0-0 last December?

And somehow we're 3rd in the league and still in Europe.

If only we'd just try harder!

Are you the guy a few rows in front of me in the pod south section who was constantly standing up and ranting at AJ to "coach them" " try something different" etc, etc?

Or could that be "George " who posted on the opinion page on bbc website about our game, jeez...was so negative 

[Well Well]

Neither. I sit at the back of the Cooper. Season ticket holder for many years. Just letting off some steam immediately after the game. A game where we looked very leggy not surprising after the European adventure. Still didn't think anyone stood out enough for MOM. General ok displays all round. Still think Maswanhise needs someone to give him a shake and tell him to get his finger out but he would probably just fall over again. Fingers crossed we get the result thursday night and move on again. Good signing today.
