Interesting pre match from Matos. Yalcouye has to "make a statement" to be picked. Benson is off to AFCON on 15th December. No decision yet on any players here on loan returning back to their clubs. Lissah has been talked about but no decision yet on any of our players coming back. [Post edited 5 Dec 9:05]

Interesting that tonight he was played at RCB by McGlynn and performed well even better than he has at LB in his last 8 games....
He's been named Player of the Month for November :---
"The defender picks up his first club award since joining on loan in the Summer.
Naturally a central defender, Filip has filled in at left back due to injuries and has put in a run of impressive performances.
The Bairns have enjoyed a very successful November that has seen us go unbeaten in the William Hill Premiership, with two dominant wins against Kilmarnock and Dundee United, and two draws against Livingston and Rangers. Falkirk sit sixth in the table, exceeding all expectations, and Filip’s performances have been an crucial part of the team’s run of form.
Well done, Filip!"
I don't know if he's ready for the Championship FT but seems to be holding his own in the SPL - Seems he would be a useful utility player in our woeful defence though. The old adage if they're good enough they're old enough springs to mind.
Some comments from Falkirk fans after last night's game against Motherwell :---
"Lissah plays with slippers on. What a f**king player. Strolled it."
"I'll take it...how Lissah is deemed surplus in a struggling Swansea side is unbelievable...that little juke through the middle a thing of beauty... stunned if this guy doesn't go on to have a great career "
"I had zero expectations for Filip Lissah when he signed. None. I thought he was here to make up the squad, bit of cover on the right.
How wrong I was. This lad is something special. I hope we get to keep him for the season before he heads on to bigger things. What a talent."
"The ball comes near Lissah and 9 times out of 10, one of the following occurs :
- controls it first time
- wins a header which goes to a Falkirk player
- takes off the pressure with a crisp, accurate pass to (the excellent) Bain
- accepts a pass from a Falkirk player and plays an accurate forward pass
- wins a 50-50 tackle
He’s only played a handful of games at this level - the last two against current top 5 teams in Scotland.
Every time he’s looked the best defender on the park. An exceptional talent." [Post edited 4 Dec 14:01]

Good to see so many positive comments. He has pedigree, came through Chelsea kids teams.
Unfortunately he got injured last season at a critical point when the first team squad had injuries or he may have had his chance. We ended up playing Naughton as a centre back for a few games. Let him stay there and play, now is not the time to bring him back |  | | |

I do wonder what kind of "statement" the other players have made to be picked. |  |

There are many things that go on and supporters dont see. I'm not saying this is the case with Yalcouye but it is not unusual for young players to act the Billy big bollux, we have had them here on loan, bought some and had them come through the academy ourselves. They get chances then the coaching staff say enough is enough. How often do we let academy players go and supporters wonder why. I will say again I don't know the position with Yalcouye, but sometimes we have to trust the coaching staff. | | | |

It’s got to be basics in ,defence ,midfield and attack
Oxford are going to attack our flanks because they know Key and Tymon can’t tackle or defend and cut the ball back for late runners in the middle, much like WBA did we have to mark tighter and not give them space and time on the ball , our midfield needs to move around more ,not being so slow and static and getting challenges in
Others do it to us ,how do we find it so hard to do to them |  | | |
