Rory Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Was going to go to the game but son has a Halloween party, turned off notifications after 3 minutes! We had been improving the last 3/4 weeks but that result risks putting us back a few steps. Turns next week into a massive game. If we lose in a similar manner next weekend, I think it could be time for Rice to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were an utter shambles today and I don’t see any evidence from any of the games we’ve had this season that that is likely to change any time soon. His signings have basically all been failures and don’t suit the way he’s trying to play, we have no width, no creativity and no defensive shape. Think it’s going to be a long slog till Christmas because I don’t think we’ll get rid any time soon. Lots of these things were issues last season but we had enough good players - and a few spells where the team was fairly settled - that we got away with it. We certainly lost a couple of good players in the summer but the high turnover was a bit of a disaster as the manager is so fond of tinkering that settling in so many new men was even harder than it needed to be. There are questions over many of those players but they've hardly been helped in their efforts to settle in. And even if the squad overall isn't as strong as it was, there are still more than enough good players there to make a decent part-time League One side. Better than most (arguably all) of the other part-time teams in the league. Suspect you're right that little will change anytime soon. Think we'll probably pick up points too for the simple reason that there are very able players there (we won last week not playing well and without our best players for example). But as things stand it will be a struggle, anyone half decent (and some less than that) will beat us, and it will be an ongoing decline. In the short term, can only hope PJ is back for the derby next week. Scougall and Roy would also make a big difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetableman Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Rice has to take the blame for today , the way we set up was sooo wrong , defence is our weak point though in my opinion , Mind you if it wasn't for the Falkirk players playing back to the keeper I think Hogarth could have Fallen asleep and Falkirk would still win the game . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. I thought with the players we signed that we would be stronger defensively this season compared to last, but that isn't how it's working out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Dunbar in November will no doubt be a bit chilly, but nice to get something different with the draw. Will be a ground very few have been to in the past so another to tick off the list. Despite our bad run of form we *should* really have more than enough to get through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I thought Alloa were dreadful on Saturday, probably the worst I've seen this season? If MacIver and Miller had had their shooting boots on we would have had at least 6 and, in the words of our erstwhile commentator wee Lewis, we could and should have had so much more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see either that my comments could be construed as 'devoid of class'. Maybe you could explain that one too? Hopefully you're description of Rice telling his team to lie down to us is just sour grapes, because you surely can't believe that to be the case? I wasn't trying to be superior or boastful in what I said, if that's what you think, just attempting to describe what I saw at the match, which, I think, is the opinion of most of your fellow supporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is such a thing as grace in victory. Something I displayed to a falkirk fan at the depths of their troubles in 21/22. Instead I chose to encourage and rother than stick salt in the wound. So it's not about inaccuracy. Alloa fans are well aware of the teams challenges this season and our manager has said in at least one interview that falkirk are his team that and the fact he possesses a distinct ability not to motivate his players for the game. Until he can prove otherwise it's not based on sour grapes when I quote him directly. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
