Wallace was superb last night, scored 2 goals from his corners against a full time team, his delivery is fantastic for this level of football, I get the feeling opposing teams will hate playing against him, he looks like an absolute pain in ass to play against, if we get behind him and he gets a bit of confidence I full expect him to get 15+ goals this season, Hopefully we start the season 4-4-2, seems to be working well at minute, however that leaves McCord Swankie Whatley Graham and Gold all fighting for 2 positions and you could probably add McKenna into that when Doris returns, Hopefully a winger and striker on loan and perhaps a left sided defender and we will be strong with lots of options

Not a failure in the team tonight, McKenna deserves all the plaudits but Thomson Little and Wallace were outstanding, Also Graham done really well when he come in. Also well done to the management who made the change to 4-4-2 when they were getting a bit of joy down wings at start,

Looks like even a win tomorrow won’t be enough to see us through going on results in our group tonight, even best runner up places look out of reach, Woukd like to see Finn Graham get a start along with Denholm and McCord if available, it’s just utter garbage that you can’t even have at least 2 trialists playing,

Wallace played really well on Saturday and he is a far better option that Hester, All the abuse Wallace gets is a joke, Hester missed a few great chances on Saturday yet no one jumps on his back, I get everyone wants to see him do well because he is a young local boy but if we want to be pushing on in the league he isn’t good enough to be starting, I fully expect him to be out on loan by season starting . Agree with McKenna, was overwhelmed by him singing but he looks like a great signing who can do a job in various positions, Also really happy we look like we are going with 4-4-2, Linn looks like he is flying and hopefully Denholm gets back on form, Kader seems to be struggling but a good squad player to have, Really been impressed by the new signings also, hopefully a few more to follow and we will be looking good.

Shame if Toshney is knackered, would of done a good job for us, Maybe just have to take Scott Martin back instead..... Any other whispers on signings and what about Finn Graham?? Probably more than covered in defence and goalkeeping positions but if Toshney is done we need another defensive midfielder, would like to see another winger brought in on loan perhaps and a striker. We 100% need another forward to compete with Wallace, Hester has had a good pre season but if we want to compete at top he isn’t the answer, The stick Wallace gets its so harsh, You seen the reaction of some Raith and Ayr fans when we got him and they both would of bitten your hand off for him, he isn’t a target man, how ever he does hold the ball up well when played into feet and when given the chance he is a good finisher, We have been lucky last few seasons having Doris so think people are trying to compare Wallace to him, not so long ago we started a season with Coult and Grehan and they both have had less abuse than him, Let’s get behind him and give him a chance, telling him he is shite every week isn’t gonna make him better,

Finn Graham done ok, would like another look at him, Dont see anything in any others including Fraser, Hopefully just making up numbers, Hester done well and Linn had there full backs in knots, Interesting to see ToB in Midfield, he looks like he will cruise it, Highlight off day was the near side linesman, Absolute legend

Crazy discussion, He wants to leave for personal reasons, good luck to him, Totally Agree part time football is not the most important thing in his life, the traveling could be affecting his job or personal life, I’m sure the funds will be put back into strengthening the squad so hopefully Dick has someone in mind.

If we are lucky enough for scullion to sign then we can move ToB into midfield, Scullion pretty much like for like

Hard to judge him on just what I seen but he just didn’t ever seem to do much, Always remember Thomson though, Linn seemed to struggle against him, hopefully they make a good partnership down right tho, Have absolutely no idea what way dick is going with team this year, Still won’t be surprised to see Hester and Kader leave, although he seems to like Kader and can’t imagine he will be a massive wage

Happy with Thomson, Hopefully he is here to play in a back 4, Although I still think we will start with back 3. If we are going to a back 4 do we really need another midfielder like Roberson? Didn’t look up to much against us and doesn’t really have legs and dig like Martin did.

Hill is only 36, I thought he was older, will be more than capable back up, A full fit Doris would be fantastic so hopefully he gets back to his best soon, Would also be very happy with Thomson signing,

Is Thomson the boy with reddish hair and quite solid looking, he seemed to do well against us, sure he scored as well, would love to see us go for players like this, think we got bullied in some games last season so a bit more physical presence in team would help, Im also not overly fussed with McInotosh moving on, If we get a fit Doris to replace him im delighted, and add Spence in mixto replace Hester and we are looking good for options up front

Hester should be away, if we are gonna push on again in this league he isn’t quite up to it, Spence Doris Wallace and McKenna would do me nicely, We 100% need some dig in the middle of the park, Martin will be near impossible to replace but hopefully dick has someone in mind, All the talk of McCord leaving is a bit of a shame, If he was fit if have him over Swankie but Gav has knuckled down and deserved his place in team towards end of season, Can’t see us changing from back 3 but hopefully we get more cover in this area next year, We had to many forwards wingers and midfielders to finish season and the squad was a bit unbalanced

Wallace needs to stick what he is good at and play more in around the 18 yard box and not drop to deep, he is clearly a good finisher, In his defence I don’t no what he is expected to do with high balls when he is giving away about a foot in height, would also liked him to be taken off set pieces today, he wasted to many today. Id love us to go to a back 4 next season but I fully expect us to start with the 3 centre backs, I’m sure Dick will have a few signings in mind, A fully fit Doris would be immense. Would expect a few boys to leave, Kader and Skelly, Really unsure about Denholm, he has really struggled last few months, Also heard a few whispers that McCord will be away and also even though Hester has signed he will be gone too

Hopefully today is quickly forgotten about, All that matters now is getting behind the team and getting a result on Wednesday, Hope there is a decent turn out and everyone gets right behind the team, Dumbarton have had a tough season so hopefully their heads are down, Also being part time they won’t have any advantage on the day, Can’t imagine a big support will be up either Midweek while we have the opportunity to travel down on the Saturday,

Agree Id rather play any of the other 3 over Alloa, they seem to have the edge over us, I don’t think anyone actually criticised McKenna, Was just a surprise signing when we had a lot of options in these areas but he has kept working hard and fully warranted is place in the team, only 1 tiny moan is he is far more effective up top opposed to wing but that’s not his fault

It’s good to be confident but let’s get this season over with before we start talking about the championship, Anything can happen in football, had a great season so far, hopefully that continues, I can’t see why Linn won’t be at Arbroath next season, seems to love the club and fans, Dicks made some strange decisions but you would say when fit he is one of first names on team sheet, Tough game on Saturday, Wallace needs a goal to kick on, if not he is in danger of being dropped, Hopefully the wind machine isn’t on and we take the 3 points

Yeh very weird, Do it at the gate if you got suspicions, don’t come into the gents and start rubbish like that,

Said the crowd was only 600odd, that can’t have helped, although I thought there looked more. Also big shout out to our head stewerd coming into the male toilets and demanding to search peoples pockets for alcohol, seems an odd choice off places for patting another male down,

Hopefully tonight’s just a blip, not like us to fall apart so easily, was surprised to see Martin in the bench, expect a few changes and a few arses booted for Saturday, Perhaps back to 4-4-2 haha

He must be some age now, I remember him more as a no2, could be wrong though,

Hester starting for Albion tonight, good luck to him

Skelly next?

Rather see Hester and Skelly leave, letting McCord go would be a mistake, especially to any team in this league, yeh he is out of shape but his ability and amount of goals he has scored warrants him more time to get back in shape and certainly another chance in the team

Weird one, last position we need, fully agree it should of been a defender, Maybe Hester and Skelly will be moved on to make way?
