Lesta Legend

The move he needs, they're doing well but here's hoping he gets plenty of game time. Make or break for his time here I feel.

Unfortunate but I assume if we all of a sudden bring in a few signings in midfield then we could very well see him deciding to move on. But he could have already signed but touch wood as I think he'll develop into a good pro.

Stop it.

Superb signing. If it comes off.

This is where we fail every time and we yet again we'll retain an ineffective player, pay his wages until he leaves on a free. Nothing is ever going to get better if we don't make better rational decisons. Who on earth would pay that much for him at present.

We're also getting thin on the ground for sellable bigger assets like Bilal, so next season if we don't get promoted that income in that period may be important.

Man of the match performance today according to FotMob.

https://forum.pieandbovril.com/topic/138524-the-falkirk-fc-thread/page/12303/#comments Cartwright is getting some great feedback here. And apparently adds steel to their midfield. He’s clearly doing well to hold his own amongst seasoned pros.

Zero point moaning about fee. Zero. One day left to get some money for a player that doesn’t want to be here. And try to get some recruits in. Being so late in the window negotiating position is very weak. Just hope we can get some much needed incomings from the money we do receive.

Think you’re right. Same is true for Percy and Forest and at one stage Leicester. So there could be something in this.

Expected. Guess the logic is your increasing the probability of shots on target and chances created being ‘big’ chances and therefore goals scored should go up.

I hear the fact it isn’t a position we need to strengthen. But I guess from an attacking output they’ll see Murphy as an upgrade on stephy. Murphy expected assists and goals would put him ahead. With the intensity of style and emphasis on the wingers then it becomes more of important role for your goal contributions. Maybe he doesn’t rate Stephy.

Sorry I should have added it allows Hamza to go into the middle of the park if required as cover in the middle too. Get rid of both. Imagine as we’re looking at that Anton. Replacing Winks is probably a plan. Bit late to get it all done mind.

Winks / Faes

Can’t believe this has to be pointed out.

28 old 🤣 in his prime but with limited resale granted. But we need strong leaders too.

Like Jakob. He’s been in and out of the team behind Mads but has slowly developed. Some don’t like his distribution but he’s a pretty good goalkeeper and have every confidence in him and now as no.1 will keep getting better. We should only support the likes of Page and Monga and maybe they come on as subs more. If we sign another CM then they’re likely to make more sub appearances than starts. Which for their development would be fine. But I’d rather see a loose pass here and there while they get used to men’s football and their confidence in front of fans. It takes time. Stick with them and support them. If he develops in line with the standards he shown in the Youth setup, we’ll have one hell of a player.

He’s same age as winks. So would be a good fit.

Yes he’s getting plenty of game time and almost is ideal to come on against tiring defenders as a 16 year old he’ll be making great progress even with better players who’ll start more. Having said that Monga is a special player and is technically better than Mavididi by a mile already. He’s just not got the physical aspect of his game yet but tha will come. I do think middle of park and striker is the main area to improve before the wing.

He was fantastic.

I would rather play those that cared. Who gives a shite if Faes is better he doesn’t care either just about himself. As long as we’re winning I’m not going to find the nuances in Okoli game after we’ve just won, why be negative 🤣 He’s a player that couldn’t get into a team that defensively was an embarrassment last year the players some on here would rather start get them out the club. Give the other players who are young and need game time to improve their game they won’t otherwise. And as long as we’re not losing most games it’s how I expect Marti to approach it too. Even looking at it logically the best passing defender alongside the strongest fastest offers a good balance to the slow turgid shite we served up last year. I think he gets better but also becomes an asset we move on. Quite happy for Faes to continue to sit on the bench.

While people regularly give him stick be that for his talent limitations or his off the field antics, maybe lots justified. Hamza stands heads and shoulders above those more talented players like winks for his attitude and commitment to the team.

He’s definitely that sort of coach that will get the best out of his players even while the squad gets smaller and smaller. He definitely plays to the strength of what he has. I hope the club can help him out with one or two good incomings.

They announced it today. Been dropped by the looks of it.

Not good enough for RVN apparently
