Bairns boss ready for crucial run
Falkirk visit nearest rivals Kilmarnock on Saturday before facing three other teams in the bottom half of the SPL over the festive period in Hearts, Aberdeen and St Johnstone.[LNB]May has added to his squad in recent weeks with Pedro Pele signed until the end of the season, both Pedro Moutinho and Toufik Zerara on board until January, and English winger Jack Compton joining next month.[LNB]The club's directors had signalled they would give May further funds when the transfer window opens, but May does not yet know whether there will be cash on the table.[LNB]"You will need to ask the directors that," he said. "If there is money available, I'll spend it. If there is no money, I will just get on with the job.[LNB]"I don't know if there is any money available but I have targets."[LNB]May added: "If we win the next four games I think it will be very difficult to bring in any players.[LNB]"If we lose the next four games, I think there is every possibility we will bring people in. I don't know what the right balance is for the board.[LNB]"We will try to pick up as many points as possible but I still maintain we need to strengthen.[LNB]"But only the board can do that, it's their money. I will not put pressure on anybody."[LNB]Zerara's future is uncertain although he made a promising debut in last weekend's 1-1 draw at St Mirren, while Moutinho has pleaded for contract talks to begin.[LNB]"He is under contract until the second (of January) so we will see how he does until then," May said.[LNB]"If he plays the way he can play, and has been playing, I'm sure we will come to some kind of arrangement that he stays."[LNB]Falkirk will be severely short of strikers if the Portuguese player does not stay with loan deals for Kjartan Finnbogason and Alex MacDonald not being extended.[LNB]The Icelandic striker remains at Falkirk until mid-January but MacDonald has returned to Burnley.[LNB]"Alex is away back already, he picked up an injury," May said. "He actually sneezed and hurt his groin.[LNB]"He only had three weeks to go so it's appropriate he goes down there to enjoy Christmas with his family and get his career up and running with Burnley."[LNB]MacDonald's luck mirrored that of Finnbogason, whose stint at Falkirk was undermined by a back injury caused by a poor mattress.[LNB]But May has no fresh injuries for the trip to Rugby Park and he is keen to cut the four-point gap on Killie.[LNB]"We're not going to try to nick a point," he said.[LNB]"We will go there and try to win. It's important you are brave enough to go there on the front foot rather than just try to hold out for a 0-0 draw."[LNB][LNB]
