The league leaders are our visitors to Palmerston tomorrow for our latest league one fixture. Falkirk have been up the top end of the table all season and sit top of the pile on 29 points as they remain unbeaten after the eleven games played so far.
John McGlynn’s men claimed the three points in our last meeting when Brad Spence scored the only goal of the game with two minutes remaining. To round off a disappointing day for us back in September we lost Craig McGuffie and Reegan Mimnaugh to injury during the first half and subsequently Reegan for the rest of the season.
Ahead of the game tomorrow, Manager Mavin Bartley said “My initial thoughts after the Cove game last week were that it was at tough one to take as I felt we had done enough to take at least something from the game. Having watch it back again, I still feel the same.
The goal we lost was more than avoidable. The ending was a huge slice of luck but nevertheless we will look at the parts we could have done better. That being said. The chances we had either side of half time need to end up in the back of the net. And Lee’s effort at the end was the seventh time we have hit the woodwork this season.
There is no hiding from our home form. There is more than enough time to turn Palmerston into a fortress which will help elevate us to where we want to be come May.
This week we welcome the league leaders. Falkirk have made a terrific start to the campaign and are where they are for a reason. We will respect that as we do everyone, we face but also look to hurt them when we get into dangerous areas.
They will have a large travelling support so get behind the players and enjoy the game”.
