    Can't say they don't deserve to be ahead.

    There is clearly still work to be done with regards squad depth at the back. I wasn't keen on getting Trusty and he hasn't shown anything to change my mind so far. Welsh just doesn't ever inspire confidence either. Palma is a big drop off from Maeda to what he brings to the team.

    I still expect us to go on and win but fair play to Falkirk they have caused all sorts of problems to our rejigged team.

    Add Trusty to that.

    He looks slower than Scales.

    Major work needed from Brendan here, he's played a team that are in out the cold and they've not hit the ground running.

    Don't think changes at half time are necessarily required, just a bit of a kick up the * and a reminder of what's needed.

    Falkirk are a good side here, we need to be right on our game to get this tie won.

    Arrogant to have so many changes against what is evidently a good side.

    There's a lot of mediocrity in our second string. Welsh, Ralton, Palma just aren't good enough. Trusty and Valle don't look convincing at all but they get a bit of a pass given they've never played before. Idah doesn't look anything close to a 9m striker so far.

    We've got enough options on the bench to fix this but hope we don't leave it too late.

    And all credit to Falkirk. They well deserve the lead so far

    Scales isn't even on the bench, which is odd too..

    Trusty has looked seriously pish by the way. Early days but 6 mill looking steep as * for him..

    Valle a bit weak..

    Palma does my * in. So slow on and off the ball..

    Hatate has been abysmal in there as well..

    Some of them need a serious shake..

    Falkirk have been excellent though.

    But we've shown a level of arrogance. Which is hilarious considering Rodgers comments about Mcglynn beforehand.

    Trusty and Valle you could cut slack in terms of not being match fit but * me. All over the place.

    Midfield been gash too. Need to up it.

    Showing we do have depth but only in certain areas.

    Palma isn't going to make it here. The drop in quality from Maeda to him is staggering.

    We have nothing but bodies behind our first picks in defence. Very little quality.

    We have more than enough on the pitch to win this. We actually need to do it.

    I'd sub off Palma and Hatate for Kyogo and Kuhn or Engles.

    Taylor, Engels and Khun on is the absolute minimum required here at the break.

    Defense is a shambles. Should have gone strong and got the game in the bank and rested players when we were comfortable. I think Falkirk will tire. They have done lots of running off the ball, but we need to be less sloppy. Get Kuhn on need a player that can beat a player and break the Falkirk shape. These aren't particularly good we will get chances. We are struggling down the left get Taylor on and get Engles on the pitch.

    Give him benefit of the doubt only first start and is next to Welsh.

    I said this all Summer. Our squad is nowhere near as good as some think it is.

    I'd like to see Arne coming on right from the start of the second (for Reo)

    Knew Rodgers and the team would take them for granted.
