FJT Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 2 minutes ago, CJGJ said: It's a cup tie and one we should be winning We can talk about away tie, artificial surface, pay respect to Falkirk etc etc and look for every excuse under the sun but at the end of the day I expect us to win..perhaps not by much (poss by the odd goal) but win yes I'd like to think lessons have been taken on board from midweek and perhaps the odd change in the side, a slight adjustment in tactics but we should be bold enough to be confident in our players ability against lower league opposition. We are capable of scoring goals in the top league so we should be more than capable of scoring tonight The one factor out of our control may well be the weather and that could impact on what we want to do. I look forward to it and just sorry I have not got a ticket but pretty sure the pubs will be busy with the rugby on earlier and this match to follow We play to the best of our ability and Falkirk to the best of theirs and we win..simples really. Like all cup ties attitude is vital and you'd like to think ours will be spot on with a good support in attendance 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if DS sees it similarly The one thing to say is our manager has to do it his way rather than making panic changes to assuage the fans feelings He is the man in charge and needs to confident in what he does...I may hold a diff point of view but we want him to be confident and decisive in what he does He will succeed or otherwise on that basis.

gashauskis9 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I’ve had team re-think. I think Uche will start. Zlamal Clare Halkett Souttar White Smith (sweeping in behind Souttar and Halkett when defending and pushing into midfield when attacking). Naismith (I think he’ll be used deeper so he can influence the game better and keep Irving focused) Irving Walker (free role off the strikers) Uche Boyce Subs: Pereira, Garrucio, Bozanic, Meshino, Washington, Henderson, Langer Would be nice to take off Naismith and Boyce after an hour to keep them fresh for Wed. Hope we see Langer get some time as well as he’ll have a big part to play alongside Sibbick on Wed I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roller Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Have hated every single Falkirk fan I’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting. They’ve all shared the similar trait of wanting to appear relevant by creating, in their tiny minds, a false rivalry with us. I mind in 2006, their P.A even played Sunshine on Leith over the tannoy in an attempt to wind us up. If wee man syndrome were a football club, Falkirk FC would be it. Jumped up scaffs.

AlphonseCapone Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 On 07/02/2020 at 14:26, Diego10 said: Jesus Christ this thread is some reading. We've lost 1 in 6. None of our games are easy in the league, we're going to lose more before the end of the season as well. I know some folk thought beating Rangers would translate into going on an 18 match unbeaten run but if we lose 1 in every 6 from here I'll be happy. This is a great opportunity to try and tweak the defensive shape a bit and also a game we should be winning to get us in the quarter finals. I'd like us to change the keeper and also see how we look with Walker and Washington in the support roles. 19 hours ago, Boris said: I'd play as strong a side as we can. It's been mentioned we are getting used to a new style, so why not use another game as an opportunity to get more experience in this new way of playing? We don't have that much time to get it clicking! Some are saying forget the cup, concentrate on the league, so why not use it to get our players up to speed? Tora, Tora, ****ing Tora! Agree 100%. This season has been depressing as **** and the best we can achieve in the league is not being relegated 😥 A cup run at least gives us something to enjoy.
