A Son of the Rock

SPFL Tier 3, The Rock, 19/3/22.

We really do need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

Three minutes in, Falkirk’s first attack, and Stephen Bronsky totally misjudged a header back to Kieran Wright from a bouncing ball, leaving it far too short. A Falkirk forward latched onto it. Game over. From then on Falkirk only had to stroll through the game.

A fine move from their perspective gave them a second but it was far too easy. It also looked as if Kieran Wright maybe ought to have saved it.

We did have a flurry towards the end of the half with a few corners and a Stephen Bronsky hedaer from a corner that beat their keeper but a defender on the post cleared it. That was our one shot on target all game.

This was utterly dire. I had absolutely no confidence that we would ever score: we could barely put any passes together. I doubt Falkirk will have an easier game this season and they are no great shakes.

That’s three blanks in a row now scoring wise. I simply don’t know where our next goal is going to come from.

We’ve got third placed Montrose next week, a team with double our points tally. How many will they rack up? (Even if they have only scored four more than us in total.)
