What a strike for the second one but the first one is very good as well. From his cut inside and his finish into the bottom corner, the lad hardly lifted his head - he knew where the goal was and was off celebrating before it hit the net. Refreshing to see that instead of players having 5 touches and waiting and waiting to have a hit from similar positions.

I'm assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) that Hearts have loaned him to us so that he can get some game time.
So I think it's a tad premature to worry about the laddie being dragged back to his parent club just because he scored two goals on his first start.
If he keeps banging them in... Ye never know... But let's not start worrying yet.
Just my opinion of course.

I thought the loddie looked very sharp and although his second goal was an absolute cracker , his first strike was that of a clinical striker. Really hope we have turned a corner and genuinely believe AJ may have found his best system/team. Possibly a few tweaks in personal but compared to the performance on Saturday , it really was night and day.

I’m sure Joe Cardle had a couple from distance out on the left wing last season, one being a beauty against Dumbarton. I also recall Aird had at least one from a similar distance and position last season too. Still, that doesn’t take way from the quality of Keena’s second goal.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but here's how things will pan out between now and Saturday.
Jim Goodwin and his management team will be all over the highlights of our game v ICT. He will then devise a strategy and tactics to ensure our newly discovered star striker doesn't even get a sniff of a chance v Alloa. This may include an early "reducer" tackle much loved and advocated by Martin Keown, in which the dangerman is on the wrong end of a hefty tackle to reduce his effectiveness for the rest of the game - well worth picking up a yellow card for, apparently.
I think Alloa will have two men on him at all times, so that he'll be hard pressed to breathe, never mind score. In theory, this should create more space for Keena's attacking teammates, which they should be able to profit from.....
Of course AJ will have worked this out for himself, cos he's the Pars manager and I'm just a fan, so he will advise his players accordingly and set them up to counter Alloa's likely tactics. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out.
Televised highlights are a bit of a double edged sword all the same.....

Indeed they did and once set they cannot be changed throughout the season so there's no "narrowing the pitch" as it has already been narrowed! If anything it seems to be working against them as their away form is better than their home form - Falkirk seemed to benefit from the narrow pitch as they have no wingers either (or any footballers at all really).

Agree.There was a Dundee fan on here the other day and even given their predicament they weren't interested in taking Faiss back. Ryan is our player also so we need to decide whether he goes for free at the end of the season or is worth keeping on.He has never had a sustained run in the side and FEB has contributed next to nothing all season-Keena produced more in one game.
Can't see AJ changing the attack unless it's forced upon him.He seemed to be more complimentary about our attacking threat the other night and we need some continuity.
