HT 0-1

Terrible first half performance yet again. The cohesion and understanding we had at Dundee last week has gone. Not surprisingly given it's a completely new formation.

Instead of a 4-5-1 with a busy Magennis running around the centre of midfield, we have a lackadaisical 4-4-2. This means Falkirk are over running us in the middle, and Loy (Magennis replacement) has barely had a kick upfront. Hopeless, why oh why has he changed it.

Falkirk have scored and have had 3 or 4 very good chances, including hitting the bar and missing a one on one. We've had one from Smith which was well saved.

Need big changes if we are going to get anything.

Don't see Falkirk over running us in the midfield. They have been as poor as us. 442 doesn't look like a mistake. The formation is fine. A wee bit more composure and a break of the ball and we can win this.

Looking like a group of strangers just now. Worrying lack of composure, too. We've lost our best ariel threat when it looks as though a set piece is our best chance of getting a goal.

Not good.

That reminds me, must put my skid marked shreddies in the wash today.

You're watching a different game from me. I take it you've missed the several good chances Falkirk have had? The fact that most of the game has been in our half?

This is a Falkirk team who have won one game in seven, who's last two games have been a home draw to Ayr and losing 2-0 in the cup to Morton.

The only positive so far is that it's only 1-0. We could get back into it but we are going to need to be far better all over the park if we are to.
