Falkirk Squad lacks depth

- Stephen Crombie

To come away with a point at home to Partick is a fairly good one considerin­g our absentees. Our two main strikers, Rudden and Petraviciu­s, were both representi­ng their respective countries on internatio­nal duty and Saturday showed there is a lack of strength and depth in the squad. The fact that after an hour, one of our attacking options was replaced by a centre-half to play in attack proves this point. Yet this result also provides more evidence that Ray Mckinnon is getting the very best out of this team. This will be one of the hardest management jobs he has had but so far he is making it look relatively easy. As long as we can keep up with our fellow strugglers, come January he can hopefully improve the squad and get us clear of relegation.
