| 84. Author: desparado Date: Mon 31st Aug 2026. 15:37 Zzzzzzz. Anyhoo at least there is zero chance of that tripe ever being heard ….apart from in your head…. I’m with da no 1 ( shock horror ) on this one. Not sure I would want to see him start on Saturday…….but….. if he was to come off the bench and score again then I think Lennon would have to start him next time out……. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |

Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Mon 31st Aug 2026. 16:23 desparado, Mon 31 Aug 15:37 We can’t go every game with players up top struggling to find the net and hope we’re still level by the time we bring on Cooper. We could be 2 or 3 down and then what? Get Kane and Cooper on from the start on Saturday as well as Tod and hope we’ve done enough by the time Kane has run out of steam.

| 87. Author: CrossPar Date: Mon 31st Aug 2026. 17:12 da_no_1, Mon 31 Aug 13:11 It`s not just because he scored the winner on Friday. It`s because of the way he has performed, every time he comes on, when he has displayed game intelligence and a goal threat that others are not showing or don`t even have. People cast up that when he has started, he has not had the same affect. While that may be true, perhaps he has developed as a player and is now showing his full potential? It certainly should not debar him from starting in the future. Other players who are starting have been disappointing so perhaps they should have a spell on the bench and see if they can make a difference if they are called upon? Seemed to work for Andy Tod on Friday. Reply |
| 88. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Mon 31st Aug 2026. 18:23 That’s the thing I would add to this crosspar is I’ve been one to criticise Andy Tod this season but on Friday no one could fault him both wingers I would say had stinker I actually thought rudden was worse than Morrison but only one of them has played for Falkirk so maybe that came into the crowd reaction. But after he subbed the 2 wingers we looked brilliant maybe it was a case of they wanted us to go down the line all the time and Tod and cooper weren’t having that Reply |

| 90. Author: onandupthepars Date: Mon 31st Aug 2026. 19:29 Kane, Cooper and Andrew Tod all on together would be ideal. But you gotta factor in that, anyone who starts is up against opponents on fresh legs, whereas later in the game they might have lost a bit of edge. No doubt that`s been floated before. And NL has probably tried both ways - big guns on from the start versus keeping some for subs. He knows we need another player as a goal-threat in attack - someone to alternate with Kane. Until we get an extra CF with similar presence and contribution that Kane makes, whoever starts up front is a gamble. Reply |
| 91. Author: Hoolie Date: Mon 31st Aug 2026. 19:30 Everyone criticising Rudden?? He gave the Raith right back a physical battering right from the start and I rate the Raith lad..imagine having that battle with Rudden then he goes off and having to go up against Todd who will get the ball down and take you on? Plus knowing a fresh Cooper playing off him.. Todd needed dropped as he has not been playing well but Lennon got it right with the 2 physical lads up top as long balls we’re always played to Rudden snd he won his fair share. I would go with the exact team if all fit against Arbroath…apart from the 2 goal scoring opportunities Raith had we were solid. I would give Morrison a start against Arbroath and let him know he needs to shield the ball better and take players on..He is just inconsistent week in/out…maybe it’s confidence but he would be the first to be dropped. I would deffo keep the same line up for Arbroath. Reply |
| 92. Author: onandupthepars Date: Mon 31st Aug 2026. 19:37 I agree Rudden contributed against RR by softening them up. He fluffed a couple of chances near goal but he still earned his place. Reply |
| 93. Author: da_no_1 Date: Mon 31st Aug 2026. 21:15 CrossPar, Mon 31 Aug 17:12 Read my post again. I`m not denigrating Cooper. I`m saying Lennon knows our players better than us. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 94. Author: Hoolie Date: Mon 31st Aug 2026. 21:20 da no 1 knows the score… I think a lot of our fans don’t realise the amount of time that goes into the tactics side of the game and how teams set up. Lennon might set the team up different on Saturday..who knows? Reply |
| 95. Author: onandupthepars Date: Tue 1st Sep 2026. 12:33 Josh is an elegant player. He looks the part - he cuts a dash. As a youngster, two of my favourite players were Tony Green (Newcastle and Scotland) and Luigi Riva (Italy). Josh has got that kind of elegance and style. And he scores sexy goals, e.g. at Tynecastle and v RR last time out. They`re Josh specials, what they call these days, his signature goals. Josh!

| 97. Author: NMCmassive Date: Tue 1st Sep 2026. 12:58 If Morrison is played wide against Arbroath I think he’ll be fine, if he’s playing narrow he’ll get bullied and pushed about. I think cooper is less likely to be bullied. It would be interesting to see how the Ugandan does (really can’t remember his name) as I think he’s the most talented with the ball at his feet in the squad but away at Arbroath isn’t always about being great with a ball at your feet. Basically I think Cooper could have a big role for us on Saturday COYP Reply |

Always ready to sling abuse - at anyone who doesn`t fit their brutish, leetspeaking mould. The great arbiters of taste who seek to control the forum by rubbishing other posters that could have kept threads a wee bit more alive and interesting. Well you - NMC, desperado - and all yer cronies can go and phuck yersel`s.
