See having watched PSG last night that's how i want us to play in this Division (and before anyone interjects i am in no way suggesting we can play to that standard or approaching anything resembling it) i just mean adopting that cavalier attitude to football of attacking en masse and quick expansive football.

With that in mind i would like us to just have a right go at Falkirk (and everyone for that matter) and stop overthinking this league and treating it like some ardous year long battle.It's just football,that's all it is.If you work hard for 90 you have a chance.If you work hard and also have better players than most teams then you should win more than you lose.

............................Lewis....................
Murdoch...Durnan..Edge..Robson
King.......Fyvie.....Stanton...McMullan
...............McDonald...Keatings....

Subs - Mehmet,Toshney,Quinn,Fraser
N'Koyi,Briels,Allardice

Agree with sentiments but chances of full blown commitment to playing this way from our players is highly unlikely. Falkirk will sit back, bully us in the middle and hit us on the counter. That's why for this game and possibly one or 2 others away, I would like us to be defensively sound and look to counter ourselves. Will need a different set of players from your selection though.

Honestly, read the comments.
Yeah we're all fed up with lacklustre performances but throwing in the towel...?
What's wrong with folk these days?

I wouldnt say anyone wants us to get beat on saturday its more people being realistic in what we have become.

Whats your thoughts on latest performance without your tangerine specs on?
Dumbarton game was disappointing Bowers but that doesn't stop me hoping for a better performance on Saturday.
What's wrong with that? What colour are your specs?

Disappointing? It was a fucking disgrace as have many games been.

My specs show things as they are not a tangerine tinted view.

Smeddum is without question the biggest head in the sander we have in our support, it was tge same under JM and his dreamboy Mixu.

I have heard first hand there is no harmony in the dressing room , many players are unhappy at being played out of position or not at all and the tactics they are forced to play.

I doubt Ray can withstand the usual league pumping at Falkirk this weekend

Think he has 100% lost the dressing room. I'm no fan of his attitude but Fraser definitely looks unhappy out wide and you cant blame him really! The boy is a CM all day long.

The players who cross the line on Saturday need to show fight and the will to win at all costs or we are wasting our time.

Tactics, formations and the rest of it are pointless without it especially in this division. Match teams up and win your individual battles and most weeks you will take three points.

He rabbits a bit, hard to follow.

Don't get your hopes up for a swift change of manager. Heard that ST is planning to give RM time to get the team playing better

McMullan should have received a straight red for that challenge.

The intent was to hurt their player imo.

Seems he's a bit of a hothead.

David_Blunkett · 16/9/2017 11:49 pm

Easily could've walked.

Petulant wee fanny, like his last sending off.

I don't care what anyone says, you put the ball out for your own player, the oppostion shouldn't have to give it back.

SlatefordArab · 17/9/2017 7:41 am

Thought Briels had a good game.

In fact nobody played badly IMO, we just had no cutting edge and could have played all night and not scored.

Good to see two up front but why put McMullen up front when Keatings is on the bench and shoe horn Stanton in by playing him wide?

Yep. You put it out, it's your choice, get on with it. If it's an opponent that's down, just play on, it's up to the ref to stop it.

Didnt think we played as bad as last week but still poor.

Had chances that couldnt finish.
Falkirk are brutal also and if were the falkirk of last yesr would bave skelped hs

dufcrule · 17/9/2017 8:25 am

Disappointing not to get the 3 points as Falkirk were there for the taking imo.

Game wasn't great to watch having said that though.

Not much relevance there Bowers.
The United side of the 80s would have skelped Falkirk.
That they're seemingly not as good as last season shouldn't concern us.

The incidents surrounding the King substitution summed up our lack of organisation and professionalism.

Generally, it looked like both teams didn't have much urgency about them, to the extent that both managers appear to be doing poor jobs in motivating their squads.

BigAndyFTD · 17/9/2017 12:40 pm

4-4-2 wi McMullan up top who was 5hite again, Stanton on the wing invisible WTF goes on in Rays hade.

Lewis- nothing ti day, Dina ken if he touched the header in first half.
Toshney- looked comfortable enough, his crossing and passing are terrible.
Durnan- comfortable until Miller come on, then couldni win a header.
Edge- bette of the 2, couple good switches oh play in first half.
Robson- better than previous weeks, his crossings p!sh and gets beat fay the winger too easily.
Fyvie- far too slow and too quick ti blame others. Poor!
Briels- does his job, breaks it up. On the bah no great.
King- where ti start, he doesni go past his man , he doesni shoot, no good enough.
Stanton- no a wideman but even when he was central his touches and passing were 5hit.
McMullan- starting to see why he didni start loads at Dunfermline, 1 or 2 decent gems fans start thinking he's the saviour, hes far fay it IMO.
McDonald- worked affy hard, should oh scored.

Keatings- didni effect it any when he come on.
