Aye, another game looms quickly. I reckon the players will relish that in order to try and get back on track after Dumbarton. 
The season is far from over with lots to play for with a quarter in the Scottish Cup, a final in the wee cup and although the league title is not going to happen now there will be the play offs for promotion. Considering where we were 18 months ago this club has come forward in leaps and bounds. Teams always go through ups and downs which is where we are now. A good response tomorrow night to get us back on track and more importantly to boost confidence again is what is called for.....just a pity it is a plastic pitch.
One advantage we have this season is a much larger squad than in the past and sets us up to cope better with losses due to suspension and injuries. The only thing I would like to see tomorrow is Oxley dropping to the bench.....I have never been a fan of his as he fails to dominate his area and is always susceptible on crosses and after the last 2 games I am certain a better more authoritative keeper would not have conceded 6. He is quite a good shot stopper but the rest of his game is a little weak. We need to see how the new lad will cope and see if he can organise and dominate his area.
Not the end of the world if it doesn't go for us tomorrow but a much needed boost if we can get the 3 points. With cup games over the next couple of the weeks it means Falkirk will play 2 to 3 more league games before we play again which could put them a number of points ahead of us and although we would have games in hand I always prefer to have the points on the board rather than playing catch up. We need to finish second .
