Thread: Falkirk at hame

  1. #1

    Falkirk at hame

    Wee bit worried about this one in the sense of how many injuries we can potentially pick up. Rewind to the 1-1 game through there when they crocked Frans and Bouhenna.

    Obviously they'll be right up for this as they're fighting for survival, if we go a goal or two up do they lose their discipline and start lunging in?

    No worth the risk if you ask me, but good to keep momentum going and put a nail in their coffin. Any 'bigger' teams going down is good for us should we not achieve promotion.

    Thoughts?

    We should play the team that best benefits us going forward to the important games, the result isn't really important IMHO. But it's a difficult balance for Robbie...

    Relaxed about it, obviously hope we avoid injuries any time

    They need to win as simple as that so have more to play for but we can relax so will be interesting, cannot see a draw that's for sure, we'll either win comfortable or they'll nick it

    The result itself won't have any bearing in how we do in the playoffs

    It’s really tricky.

    We have some great momentum now but not worth risking any of the important players ahead of the play offs.

    Last week I imagine the team was already picked and staying over in the highlands when the bad news came in from Ayr on the Friday night.

    I would like clarification of the suspensions issue and if Butcher is one yellow away from suspension.

    Wouldn’t fancy Butcher v Paton in midfield in terms of folk getting injured or sent off

    Players like Cammy Butcher have been waiting for a game and can play well so should come in.

    I’d keep benji in goal as he’s building up good confidence now and any defenders coming in need to experience how to play with him.

    The rest of the team I’d balance experimental with a competitive enough side.

    I’d go with

    Laidlaw
    Seaman Bouhenna Frans (if fit) Booth
    Fyvie Stanton
    Nesbitt C.Smith M.Smith
    Sow

    Having seen Falkirk a couple of times this season I’d say that team is more than capable of beating them, no injuries/suspensions for important players and gives game time to players who could make the difference in the play offs.

    That's actually not a bad shout. Most (if not all) of them wouldn't be first choice in their respective positions but it might be an idea to get some game time into them in case they are needed for the play-offs.

    Any player one booking away from a one match suspension should play and be booked. 🙂

    I'd play a mixture is youth and fringe players, don't want to take any unnecessary risks at this stage. Definitely give Sow & Cammy Smith starts. It's a non game for us so for the 1st time ever I'm punting against Utd purely because Falkirk are playing for something and they're 5/2

    I’ve just seen interview with Robbie on the Zone and it seems Cammy may be still carrying or working off a knock - expect he may play next week instead
