    Good on the ball, very composed and can find a good pass. 
     

    On the flip side, not the strongest defensively but I reckon he’s worth a go in the championship. 

    Probably what we need to replace Flannigan to be fair, we have John Robertston, Steve Hetherington who are great midfield runners, so might suit him well at Alloa.

    I reckon the Binos must have the 3rd highest budget after these two, for the rest I reckon a wee bit behind us and us for Queens Park no idea. 

    Looking at the Albion squad, I would think your budget will be closer to the lowest that the highest, I may be wrong.  Cowdenbeath will be higher end, from some insider knowledge i know this is true.  Cove have a huge budget and will win the league.

    Alloa 

    best  . John White

    worst . their is a whole league of them too many to mention ..

    Ugliest ?

    Heaviest . mibbe,  peter lamont ?

    First black player . jose quitongo ?

    first foreign , plenty of english players in the past no idea but recently Tunisian Ahmed Aloulou

    Top scorer / modern game  charlie lytwyn  27

    nicest / Andy graham must be top of the list 

    ahole , well thats controversial  , don't remember any standouts , 

    First foreigner I think maybe Guido Van De Kamp, played early 2000's, we had Giacomo Lonzi, Italian Striker in the 90's, but dont think he ever played in the first team.

    Willie Irvine got 99 goals I am sure.

    A**hole - Gary McGlynn or Steve Robertson - Two horrible keepers and people!

    Marshall (he's proved himself this past double header) 

    McCrorie or Fredericks 

    McKenna 

    Bates (young centre back pairing) 

    Tierney 

    Snodgrass 

    McGinn 

    Armstrong 

    Turnbull (not sure his position but he deserves a shot, if he is a Cm then put him there and Fraser on the wing) 

    Christie 

    Griffiths. 

    Not sure of his position, jesus christ! He is a Central midfield player, but we have a huge amount of options in that area, still feel he will get a chance soon when back fit. McCrorie is not a right back, but would be good to get Fredericks, as he is playing at a high level and looks a decent player, better than O'Donnell imo. I think McGregor has to be in the team as well, instead of Armstrong who gets nowhere near his club side.

    Andy Stirling has been released, seems like strange timing unless the manager is bringing in another free agent. Keilor-Dunn anyone?

    Bit unlucky i think, under JG he would have played every week as he played with 2 wide men, but Grant was trying to play him as a midfielder and it's not his position.  Will have no problem finding a club, hopefully Grant freeing up space for a free agent.

    Was impressed with the Alloa midfielder with the long hair in a ponytail. Fantastic performances from him. 

    Can we sign him today please ? 

    Was his debut as well, Blair Malcolm, was at Cowdenbeath last year. Played in our reserves on Monday night and replaced the suspended Hetherington and by all accounts had a great game.

  7. It is frustrating that the build up to this game is dominated by this debate, I used to love these games, but I don't even think I will go tonight as I think the £18 is crazy.

    I also agree with some other posters that the format of this competition is poor, need to go back to the old format for me of knockout ties.

  8. Peter Grant after defeat in Penalty Shoot-Out

    Obviously disappointed at outcome of tonight’s game but not the performance, the goals were disappointing, we had spoke about losing goals especially the second one, I had noticed in the Livingston game last week about our marking, I wasn’t happy with that, so we spoke about that and then conceded again tonight, “Robbo” apologised he is still a young man learning the game but we need that concentration level.

    In general play, I thought we played a lot of good stuff but losing three goals from three set plays which we had spoken about, we shouldn’t be losing three goals from set plays and every goal we scored we had to work hard for. We had a lot of young boys on the bench this evening who had earned that opportunity; we are still looking to bring in new guys, which are important to build the group up which is important.

    The cup is important for us, we want to win every game we play, that never changes and we will look to go and put out on a similar performances with the ball at Hibernian, but we need to be tougher with the ball and be hard to beat, we need to keep playing that way moving and turning the ball over but at set Plays, 80% in Championship are scored at set plays.

    So pleased with generally our play but need to cut out silly mistakes.

    Found the comment about Robbo being a young man and learning the game strange, he is 30 and has played over 400 games as a pro!

    Also, not sure where he has pulled the 80% of set piece goals from, can that be true?

    Wouldn’t want to see Andy in yet. Too important a player to lose on the park - he scooped every single award last year and was our stand out player. Imagine losing that. Goodwin was in a lower league and as a total novice was able to make mistakes and still have a strong enough team for it not be totally disastrous. Would this league be as forgiving on Andy Graham should he needs the time Goody needed? Absolutely not.
     
    We need someone who has some games under his belt or has been coaching for a while at a decent level. Like said above we don’t want any stalling period or a time where a novice would have to learn. Season starts in weeks, recruitment needs done so it’s got to be totally seamless and quick as possible.

    So if you had one choice who would it be

    I like the Hartley shout personally, he knows the club and some of the squad should be an easy enough transition.

  10. The only clear thing about St Mirren is that they are a basket case club right now. 
    If Goody goes there he better negotiate some substantial danger money because it could be a career ender.
    It does seem a bit of s strange club, but it did ok for Jack Ross. I think it would be tough for him to turn down.
