printer Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 he has absolutely no experience of working with a part time setup (as far as I can see). Yes, this is the main question mark for me. Is he going to complicate things, can he properly relate to part-time players.We've already got a very good squad and the players know their own and each others strengths (which we play to) and weaknesses (which they cover for). So I agree he needs to take a softly, softly approach initially. Paddy Connolly can be key here, as can the likes of Andy G and Liam B.Overall I'm excited by the appointment. It's another high profile one, which is nice, and you'd expect Grant to have loads of contacts. At the end of the day, he'll do well and move on to a full-time gig or do poorly, leave and Alloa will move forwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pain in the erse for teams who like wing play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, m8. It's not something any of us have an opinion on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza81 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Came on to comment on what a massive bell Grant looks. Absolutely infatuated with himself imo. Strange appointment from a club that has appointed a certain ‘type’ over the last few years. Hope you get pumped all season for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar P Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Well done again Alloa for a fairly adventurous managerial appointment, I hope it goes well for you.I'm assuming the dissenting voices are because of the old firm connections rather than the individual concerned.Probably most of your players are old firm supporters and you support them every week, so why not the manager.If it is just the person, it is petty in the extreme. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
