This style is suitable for very good and athletic teams, not those bereft of confidence lacking in experience in midfield. Its idealistic fantasism. Performance against Aberdeen had far more control than anything since, that is the balance coupled with the spirit that will get us out I agree with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries, guaranteed. Poss a wee red thrown in 😂 Agreed. Could do without tbh. Then again, winter break doesnt seem to have generated much, other than certain folks playing higher up pitch, and leaving others unable to cope.

Agree, might be a chance to give some other players a bit of a run out and try a different formation. Obviously don't want us to lose, as a defeat to a team in the 3rd tier would be a total cringefest, but really in our current predicament this fixture is now pretty pointless. As someone else said, never thought I'd see the day I'd not care for Hearts winning a cup game and getting a good run at least, if not all the way to a final, but I honestly just don't at this moment which pretty much sums up our situation.

EIEIO Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Was gutted that our group never got tickets for this game us most of us are from Lithgae and hate Falkirk. However , glad we didn't now, if El Gato is in goals I will be watching the game from behind my couch - like a bairn watching Dr Who.

Bobby Clare Halkett Souttar White Smith Sibbick Washington Naismith Henderson Boyce Strong team on paper but getting tired of all these new formations. Sometimes a game just calls for a good old 4-4-2! Bobby Clare Halkett Souttar Smith/White Walker Sibbick/Smith Irving Henderson/Meshino/Avidjaj/White Naismith Boyce Boyce and Naismith could be one of the best strike forces in the league. I feel like we need to try them out up front together and build a game plan to give them chances, while still being solid defensively.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 God knows who we will select for this. I will go for: - Zlamal - Clare, Halkett, Souttar, White - Smith, Sibbick - Washington, Naismith, Henderson - Boyce Falkirk 1-3 Heart of Midlothian (Washington, Halkett, Boyce) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I'm feeling better about it now after setbacks in the last couple of games. I'm convinced we have enough good players. Will be much happier if both Smith and Sibbick play to strengthen our defence. Going for a pre-curry couple of pints soon to work on my score prediction. It will be positive. I hope Stendel takes the Cup seriously and is able to lift the players for a 90 minute battle. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Quaresma Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) 14 hours ago, Cruickie's Moustache said: Main thing going forward is that when faced with the tactics seen last night is that we start taking shots from outside the box. Killie have done the same to us over the last few games we have played them. Sit tight and hit on the break. They are nothing special but do what they do well. Last night, all too often, it looked like we were trying to walk the ball into the net. They simply packed the box and lapped it up. A bit of variation with a few shots from range keeps them honest and draws them out of the 18 yard box and can create a bit more space for times when a 1-2 is on. If they remain packed in the middle, a few shots now and again still gives a 50 /50 chance we get a corner and that's were we sometimes get success in front of goal.

The Treasurer Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Naismith has played every game since the break so I have a feeling he may be rested for this one.

I’m glad he’s realising the tactic he likes will need to wait until we get the players in that can play it . Our starting 10 are good enough to win games , playing to their strengths . Now for our keeper , play him and hope he gets through his less than acceptable performances ,a risky gamble . Drop him and take away any confidence he has left , replacing him with either of the other two doesn’t strengthen us in anyway .

I hope we can offer more protection to the chosen keeper but he is the last line of defence and I really think his confidence is blown so have little faith in him at all. Windy conditions wont help. Can see naisy getting a rest, maybe uche washington and walker getting a start. Be nice for donis to get some game time. Sibbick back in too.
