Owen Eames

I wasn't entirely impressed with him in the match against Dundee but you can't really argue with that record and unfortunately I wanted to have a look at his actions in this game but why Scoot Hunt uploaded it by the time we came to record this podcast but I went back and looked at him against Hibs and what he did and I think he does quite well in the fact that is he the most refined centre forward no his hold-up play, his link-up play, a wee bit hit and miss, kind of like Barney Short in that sense.

It's also somebody that I think often at times can maybe play on the periphery of the game a bit, but you can see that he's a real threat, like a real kind of fox-in-the-box type, somebody who likes to get his shots away quickly, likes to good at sniffing out chances, and he's got that wee bit of kind of quickness, that wee bit of mobility, that wee bit of burst about him as well, and if Falkirk can sort out everything else around him, and I've said before I'm a big fan of Owen Eames, I think he looks good on the left.

Interesting tactical decision from McGlynn in this one as well to drop Dennis Melnick, who started the season at centre-half, into centre midfield alongside Brad Spencer, dropping out Bren Crowhouse and pushing Finlay Barbrook further forward, who's been quite good, but he's been playing alongside Spence at the base of that midfield.

but he had another strong showing in this game if he can add something else because they've not really had anything at the number 10 spot out of Crowhouse so if they can get something else I think that can now be two roles behind Morel where they've got it sorted Ames on the left definitely he's still looking really good like a dangerous player but also does a lot of really good work working backwards if Barbrook can continue his performances push them even further up and Ethan Ross does give you something there's not really much of a final ball there but he is somebody that will get the opposing defence on their heels yeah he's

So it's going to be Scott Bain in goals, Ryan Strain, Lewis Neilson, Liam Henderson, and Scott Tanzer.

Brad Spencer, Finlay Babru, Ethan Ross, Ben Crowhouse, Owen Eames, and Jacob Murrell.

Subs for Falkirk are Hogarth, McMahon, McMillan, Parkinson, McKeever, Yates, Melnick, McLeod, and Forrey.

Referee at Easter Road is Nick Walsh, and the VAR is Duncan Williams.

Hibs were then awarded a penalty after Lewis Neilson caught Kluitje, but a VAR check showed the contact was outside the box, and the decision was overturned.

Hibs made changes, but they huffed and puffed.

And Falkirk actually almost made it 3-1 through Owen Eames.

Bain then denied Jamie McGarr with a brilliant, a brilliant stop.

So we, we do have one or two lads.

There's a, there's a young midfielder called Owen Eames who's got on, gone on loan in, in, in Scotland and, and is doing very, very well.

Um, we've got another lad, the forward Dejon Brown, who, you know, m- might not be good enough but, you know, he's, he's, he's at least a product of the academy.

He's also out on loan as well.

I don't think that will happen, but I do see Connor McLeod, who we've got on loan from Wills, who looks like he's got pace to burn coming into the side.

Potentially that means that Ethan Ross might move into the 10 with Owen Eames and Connor McLeod.

Will they change Jacob Morell up front? Potentially.

Got his penalty at the weekend.

...

it working is if you put Eames into the 10.

Yep.

Um, I, I obviously we've only seen a very short period of Conor McLeod, uh, but I was really excited by him, uh, with the, with the cameo that he got at Celtic Park before he was injured.

Played very, very well.

Uh, I don't think he'll get my man of the match weirdly, uh, con- b- considering he did have a very good game.

Um, but yeah, up until the, the, the goal that we got, which was all Owen Eames in terms of the, the buildup, um, we didn't have much to shout about yesterday.

No. G-

We've got some very exciting players in amongst that as well.

Certainly Owen Eames has been very impressive for us since he started.

So it'll be interesting to see how he fares up against Dundee come Saturday.

But I think it'll be an exciting game.
