Beverley Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 i think we learned (once again) that any team needing to get their first points/goals/win must be delighted at the prospect of our charitable nature and playing pish so that they acheive that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 That Lee Wallace is not a defender and that there will be plenty of results like this this season.It's not just us though once again apart from the top 2 everyone can beat each other look at todays results for proof.

Csaba's Broon Shoes Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Playing with one inexperienced striker Gives huge encouragement to the opposition to commit players forward Thus putting twice as much pressure on our defence 2 strikers is a must to progress Why are we affraid to attack the SPL mediocre teams ?

Jammy T Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Just left game. We need to play 2 strikers. Simple. Mole was running the channels well but was totally isolated. Nade was playing flick ons to himself ffs. If we are to play 1 up it should be nade and we should play more attacking midfield. 1st game of season. Expected new world, got old hearts.

colinzeal Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Still think Csaba is the man for the job, but i think he has made some poor decisions. Persisting with Mole as lone striker is pointless as he really is not a goal threat! Give the new slimline Nade up there with him and play with 2 strikers! Karapidis and the Polish guy in midfield?? Falkirk are not that good, it is clear as day that Ruben should have came in! Lee Wallace is just not up to the task. Really disappointing result, but inevitable in my opinion.

StAndrewsHMFC Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I believe we are a better team than last season, simply in application and motivation alone. However, we have not improved in terms of the squad, which is hardly surprising considering we haven't really changed it much. There are 3 clear difficiencies- 1) Our defence is really poor, eight goals in 5 games. I'd be tempted to get rid of the lot of them in the next transfer window and look to Rapnik from the youth and try and get players like Anderson, McNamee, Kennedy, McNaughton etc who may be available 2)We lack proper forwards- 1 goal from Mole is our forwards effort in 5 games, we need to get Tullberg fit, give Nade a final chance and give Glen a run 3)Too much dross clogging up the squad players that need to show something or move on are too numerous to mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csaba the hut! Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 do yous think even 2 players this year would have got in our squad in 2006!! skacel;hartley etc?? think we need a major clear out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy T Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 1 thing that struck me. Csaba has preached that we need to be flexible in our formation. Yet he hasn't been flexible at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Frail had played Mole on his up front he would have been crucified. Interesting to know if Csaba played with a lone striker at previous clubs?

Martin Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Wallace is a joke. We need to play with two guys upfront. Mrowiec is not a wide player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 The sorts of signings we used to make would be sensible going forward. I liked the look of Barr, Arfield, McBride, O'Brien today and all of them would do a good job for us. The experience of the likes of McNamara, McCann and Bullen was also useful to Falkirk and we need to bring in experienced players at the window. Last game I thought that McArthur of Hamilton looked a tremendous player too. And Gary Mason did a good job for St Mirren against us. It is a shame that we seem to have given up on trying to buy the best of the rest. Because some of these sorts of players could do similar things as Mickey Cameron, Hammy, McCann etc did in the late 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomb Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Karapidis is not a midfielder and can't pass to a Hearts player, but we learnt that against Airdrie and before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I learnt that people expect the problems we had two weeks ago to magicly disapear. On a more serious note, I dont think I learnt anything today that we didn't know, except confirming that wallace is a leak in the defence, if he was more alert we would not of lost that goal. I still think that we only have 1 fit striker and that is jamie Mole. Csaba knows what he is doing and he knows that if he had two fit players that would work he would play them. I predict in four weeks at the most we will have two forwards up front and have many strikers and not complaining about up front. Csaba wont buy a striker to fill three weeks, he has capable strikers and when they are fit they will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john brownlee Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 But over all we done well Im an old bugger also except I dont bum bhoys. I went today as it was a treat from my son I really cant remember ever going to fallkick and winning so to me it was no surpize we lost but on the positve side we really played well and did show that Rocky is prepared to change things when its not going to plan Mico off kingston moved , that move inproved the whole set up. That changed the game and we really looked like we could grab the winner, but is was not to be today. If played right, Mico is the Starr. Kingston a waste off space in centre mid and I never really like to slagg hearts players but you are correct about wallace two mistakes today , two goals as the norn with him, lets get rid of him. I hope I dont get into the KB habit so this just a one of wallace=clunie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Game Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Still losing too many goals-- defence not as good as some think Mole tries but not enough threat Need more presence up front -- Tullberg ? and Glen -- sorry Csaba but play Glen Play 4-4-2 Driver is important to the team Whilst we are more organised we are 'a work in progress' Midfield mix just not right What we learned today Michael Stewart, especially in the second half, made several great runs and had no one running off him and little movement ahead of him. It got a little bit better with Ksanavicious and Nade playing but we've got to find an intelligent off the ball runner for him to link with. Agreed we've established that Mole, as a lone striker, hasnt got a threat. Agreed that Driver on form is one of our key outlets. 4-4-2 wont neccesarily fix what is wrong with us , because what is wrong is rooted in the midfield where the balance isnt right, as you said. Fix that and 4-5-1 might work, as might 4-4-2. Dont fix it and no system will work. Defensively I think we're okay apart from a desperate need for a left back. We're leaking goals through Lee Wallace. Larry Kingston has a serious problem with application and effort. he's a luxury player we cant afford at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
