BFTD Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Sorry this is late, but here's a wee report from the Development League game against Stenhousemuir on Monday the 20th... A damp night at The Stadium Formerly Known As Prince The Recs, with a fine mist enveloping the ground for most of tonight's Reserve League fixture against Stenhousemuir. Both teams put in a good shift despite the weather, with the Wasps eventually managing a 3-2 victory, despite struggling against their own finishing at times. The first half was largely dominated by Alloa attacks, with some lovely passing and link-up play between David Weatherston and Scott Hynd causing problems for Stenny's defence. Despite this, Stenhousemuir's #6 scored the first goal after a quarter of an hour with a low drive past the keeper following a break through the Alloa defence. The rest of the half passed with barely an attack from Stenhousemuir, but Alloa were unable to convert the many set pieces that came their way, with balls fizzing past the goal without troubling the keeper. The second half was a closer affair, with Stenhousemuir creating more attacking chances for their tireless #9, who forced an early close-range reaction save from Mikey Couser before being flattened by a heavy challenge soon after. Thankfully, Daryll Meggatt replied by thumping home an equalizer; a low free-kick from the middle of the park that smacked straight into the net past the keeper's left. Alloa made some changes at around the hour mark in an attempt to force the win that their play deserved, Lee McLelland & Graham Forsyth made way for Ryan Hoggan and the impressively tall Russell McLean, whose presence allowed for the use of some higher balls into the box. The substitutions made a difference within minutes; Scott Hynd ran onto a through ball and found himself unusually free of the Stenhousemuir defence, carefully passing the ball past the keeper's right to take the lead. Hynd found himself in the same position again soon after, only for Stenny's keeper to pull off a fine block. Alloa's dominance at this point was such that Stenhousemuir's equalizer came as a surprise, their #9 rising unchallenged at the far post to head home a cross from the near side. The Wasps were determined to get the win, however, but their frustration led to a bit of handbags between Michael Hardie and one of Stenhousemuir's players, both of whom ended up with yellow cards; the only cautions in a game played out in good spirits. The resulting Alloa free-kick ended up in Stenhousemuir's net, but a slow flag was enough reason for the referee to disallow the goal for offside. It didn't feel like Alloa's night when a powerful shot from McLean was deflected wide by the keeper, but a scramble from the resulting corner was scuffed in by mop-topped Lewis Wilson; just reward for his characteristic hard work on the left side. A very fair result for Alloa in the end, and more accurate finishing would probably have led to a greater scoreline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Old but shite gold; I forgot to post this wee report on the Development League game against the Binos from Monday the 27th of October for the 0 people that are interested. Apologies if I've got any player names wrong; my eyesight isn't what it used to be, and both the club and the SPFL have been no help in getting hold of team sheets Tonight at the DrilldoDome, a highly respectable crowd of 50-100 souls saw Alloa's reserves dismiss a confused Stirling Albion side 6-1 in the Development League. Stirling started well, with the ball finding its way past Mikey Couser in the Alloa goal, before being cleared from the goalmouth. The away side were clearly motivated, and effectively harrried the Alloa players in possession, probably having the better of the play in the first twenty minutes. Despite this, Alloa managed a goal around five minutes into the game, Michael Hardie curling a lovely shot inside the far post from the opposite corner of the penalty area. Hardie's moment of brilliance clearly didn't faze the opposition, with plenty of deadly long passes finding their way to Stirling's forward runners, who were causing Alloa's defence all sorts of problems, albeit with little in the way of clear chances to show for it. It seemed only a matter of time before Stirling scored, and some patient play from their #7 when holding the ball up was rewarded with a penalty when his feet were caught. #3 tucked the ball away to Causer's bottom-left corner, sending the keeper the wrong way in the process. Stirling's good work continued, with Alloa forced to use a more physical, but fair approach to combat the quick attacks from the visitors' forward line. The approach began to pay off after half an hour, when a chance for Nathan Moore was blocked by the diving Stirling keeper, only for Scott Hynd to finish into the waiting net. The second goal seemed to awaken the tiger in Alloa, and it wasn't long before Michael Hardie was on the scoresheet again. Some swift passing across the field opened up a space in the centre, and Hardie lashed in a thunderous drive from fully 25 yards. Almost immediately from the restart, Scott Hynd attacked a short cross with a diving header that flashed across the goalmouth, fizzing just wide of the near post. Alloa were rampant by this point, with the problems posed by Stirling early on being handled comfortably. Not long before half-time, the scoring finished when Scott Hynd latched onto the kind of long through ball that the Stirling forwards had been unable to score from; Hynd, however, took the ball on and finished across the keeper from inside the box. The second period began comfortably for both teams, with the only incident of note being a yellow card for Stirling's #8 after a poor challenge on Nathan Moore. The resulting free-kick from 30 yards warmed the keeper's hands, but was tipped wide. Stirling brought on their #16 to replace #9, but Alloa began to dominate again, before David Weatherston made it five for the Wasps on the hour mark, a decent volley squirming under the keeper's body, much to his vocal chagrin. Just to rub salt into the wound, immediately afterwards Stirling had a consolation goal ruled out for offside after the ball was forced in from a throw. Another couple of substitutions for Stirling (#14 & #15 on for #8 & #11) made little difference to the performance, and it wasn't long before Adam Ashgar topped off a night of cracking goals with a 20-yard scorcher into the bottom-right corner. With twenty minutes still to play, and Alloa players beginning to line up to take shots, Stirling had every right to be worried. However, the Binos managed a mini-revival, with Couser called into action on a couple of occasions immediately after, including a solid save from a Stirling free-kick in the centre of the park. That was to be the last hurrah, however, and Alloa kept the pressure on in the hunt for further goals. Nathan Moore had earned himself a break by the time he was taken off for #16, and the final ten minutes passed comfortably without much in the way of goalmouth danger for either side. Stirling's reserves must be left slightly bemused by their mauling tonight, considering that they displayed more energy and invention for the first quarter of the game. Alloa will no doubt want to work on their passing, which did go awry regularly throughout the game, but were absolutely irresistible when they finally imposed themselves on the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Another wee Development League East report for...well, naebdy, really. A cool, clear night at the Fracker's Paradise saw Alloa run out 4-1 winners against Forfar Athletic, in a game memorable for a couple of injuries and a few cracking goals. The first half saw both Forfar's #8 hobbling off with a painful leg injury caused by a head-on collision, and Alloa's Ryan Hoggan left early for the hospital after a rogue knee to the ribs left the player nursing a damaged arm. Despite this, the game was played out in good spirit, with nary a card to be seen. Barely had the spectators present taken their first sip of Bovril before Forfar stormed straight down the wing from kick-off, cutting in a low cross for their energetic #11 to tap home past Mikey Couser in the Alloa goal. Couser in particular will be annoyed by this early lapse in concentration, as rarely did Forfar trouble him for the rest of the game, with every chance being dealt with confortably by the Wasps' keeper and his defence, which featured returning captain Lewis Wilson. The game settled into an easy rhythm of attack and defence, with the teams looking fairly equal in quality, with Alloa's main weakness being the occasional sloppiness in passing that has dogged the first team in recent weeks. Aside from the impressive Couser, Alloa's edge came from a dominant attacking performance from Martin Hardie, whose delight in his role was clear to all, and a zippy Eddie Ferns. Ferns & Hardie combined to great effect in the 35th minute, when a quick counter-attack found a well-timed run from Hardie on the left wing. The wee firebrand outpaced the retreating Forfar defence, before finding Ferns in the centre, who lifted the ball over the onrushing keeper into the net. Alloa then were ahead within five minutes when a corner was deflected out to the centre of the box, and an onrushing Hardie met the ball with a sweet volley past the helpless keeper. Straight from the post-half-time kick-off, Alloa warmed the Forfar keeper's gloves, but few other chances were created until the 70th minute, when a rampant Hardie took a run through the centre of the Forfar defence, finishing from 25 yards into the right of the Forfar net. Immediately afterwards, Forfar carved out their best chance of the game, with a scramble in the Alloa box ending with a point-blank header to the top right of Couser's goal, which the keeper comfortably tipped over the bar. The game began to peter out and, when Martin Hardie was taken off in injury time, anyone would be forgiven for thinking the scoring had come to an end. However, Hardie's replacement Anderson was obviously keen to prove himself equally worthy, and immediately took a mazy run along the edge of Forfar's box, striking a carefully-placed low finish across into the bottom-left corner. There wasn't even time left to kick off, and Alloa would no doubt have left the field pleased with a result that leaves them undefeated in four home games, and in the middle of a good run of form due to improved performances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 How do you go off with a damaged arm after a knee to the ribs? Was wondering that myself. Happened right in front of me; was definitely a knee in the ribs, and that's what he was clutching at first. I assume he must've hurt his arm in the fall. Or I'm hallucinating again. I think he's from Fife. Be nice, that was the kindest reply a Cowdenbeath fan has ever made to one of my posts! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
