May apologises after sorry showing
Bairns boss May watched his shot-shy side fail to create a single clear-cut chance as they made it a hat-trick of nil-nils in the SPL.[LNB]It could have been worse but for goalkeeper Robert Olejnik, who produced two stunning saves to deny Mehdi Taouil and Kevin Kyle what looked certain goals.[LNB]"It was absolute murder," May said of the fare on show.[LNB]"I apologise to the people who are having to pay to watch that.[LNB]"We've played four games in 12 days, with virtually the same personnel and we haven't got a big enough squad to rotate."[LNB]The result nevertheless lifted Falkirk off the foot of the table and May is confident they can stay there.[LNB]"If we can keep our players fresh, I'm sure we'll go on and compete well in this league," he said.[LNB]The home side went into today's game on the back of Wednesday night's Co-operative Insurance Cup thrashing at the hands of Celtic.[LNB]May said: "We tried to entertain against Celtic but got beaten four-nothing.[LNB]"We didn't entertain today and got a point.[LNB]"What's right? We got a point. What's wrong? We have to get a little bit better in terms of creating chances.[LNB]"But if you've got nothing left in the tank, you can't criticise anybody."[LNB]He added: "It just so happens we never created a decent chance today.[LNB]"But there are goals there; it's just a case of trying to get them.[LNB]"And once you get the goals, you win games."[LNB]As well as blaming fatigue, May pointed the finger at Killie for contributing to what was a turgid match.[LNB]"They're a horrible team to play against," he said.[LNB]"They're big, they're physical, they batter the ball forward and they try to create goals for their front guys.[LNB]"First and foremost, we have to go and combat that.[LNB]"If we were too open, I felt we'd lose goals."[LNB]May revealed Thomas Scobbie and Danijel Marceta both came off injured today, while Ryan Flynn and Vitor Lima were also struggling.[LNB]With Scott Arfield already missing, the Bairns boss hopes the quartet recover quickly.[LNB]"If not, we'll be playing our under-19s," he joked.[LNB]Killie boss Jim Jefferies agreed the match was a terrible spectacle but felt his side had the chances to snatch all three points.[LNB]"I thought if any team was going to score, it was going to be us," the former Falkirk manager said.[LNB]"We probably put a bit more pressure on in the second half and their goalie's had far more to do than ours and he made the save at the end from big Kyle's header.[LNB]"We felt we put a lot of good balls in the box and nothing fell for us."[LNB]Jefferies also has big injury worries and did not make a substitution all game.[LNB]"We had a lot of players out today," he said, admitting he was pleased with his side's first positive result on their travels this season.[LNB]"It's our first point away from home this year.[LNB]"We know the teams round about us in the bottom half - apart from Falkirk - have not picked up anything today so we jump a place."[LNB]Defender Frazer Wright was briefly forced from the field with a head injury which needed bandaging up.[LNB]"He's got a cut on his head that they're gluing up," Jefferies said.[LNB]"He'll be all right - just a lot of blood."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
