Falkirk Shambolic defence

Four games into the league season and I am lost for words. This isn’t an ideal situation to be in when writing this piece!

So early in the season we find ourselves nine points adrift of our arch rivals who are top of the league and we face a relegation battle away to Brechin this Saturday. If we lose this match it is going to be difficult for any Peter Houston supporter to defend our start to this league campaign! It’s not just losing that is a problem, but the manner in which we are losing games. Eleven goals we have conceded in our opening matches: this is hardly the form of a promotion chasing side. Defensively we are shambolic at the minute. One question springs to mind: ‘has Houston lost the respect of the players?’
