Oli Anderson previews tonight’s match against Falkirk

The Fifers look forward to their first contest of the season this evening as they welcome newly promoted Premiership side Falkirk to the MGM Timber Bayview Stadium in a friendly fixture. Undoubtably, it is a fantastic opportunity to get sharpness back into the players ahead of the fast-approaching Premier Sports Cup Group Stages, which kick off in less than a fortnight’s time.

Although this is our first action of the season, Falkirk have already had minutes under their belt, though in their most recent encounter, it did not go to plan as they were defeated by Michael McIndoe’s Edinburgh City side 3-2, even trailing by three goals to nil after a slow start. Following the defeat, assistant manager Paul Smith spoke with Falkirk TV:

“It was a wakeup call defensively today; we gave away three very poor goals in the first half and we became restless. We were very poor in both boxes today. I was very happy with the progress we had seen in preseason up until today, we are disappointed to let our standards drop.”
