The Alloa Athletic Thread

[Only one David Marsh]

Disappointed to see him go to alloa was hoping he'd stay with us, Barry was after him for a long time aswell.

[Father Barrys Sign (Top Half)]

Technically he's an excellent player, and he's not too bad a finisher as he demonstrated against you in the cup.

And in the 5 1 game the day Hartley quit, I'm sure he scored an absolute beauty.

He's always shown up well against us. Incidentally Turner was another Jack Ross looked at in January, but I think he went back to Ireland (?)

Turner has retired.

Yeah thought that was a possibility based on his Twitter. Saw him taking in one of our home games not long after Jack joined so was convinced he was going to sign.

I wouldn't be shocked if Jacko brought him back even now to be honest. He's such a talented footballer it's just a shame he's never fit. If you could sort his ankle and get him able to complete a full 90 minutes then you'd have the best midfielder in League One on your hands. The break from the game might have been what his body needed to recover.

Where does this Kirkpatrick play? Can't say it's a player I've overly noticed against us (of course that's not exactly a bad thing) but jack ross talking about his ability to score goals and a quick look on Wikipedia says he's played over 100 games with only 17 goals in his career

I know he's got one or two other targets in mind for that area,but agree Turner would still be a terrific signing for us in League 1.

Central midfield is where he's best. Sitting deep and pulling the strings. He spent time with us on the wing, in the No.10 role and upfront and he was pretty horrific at all three.

Play him in CM and I'd wager he'll get 7+ in League One next season.

for a midfielder that's actually a fairly decent record. Scored 2 against us last season in the cup.

Would be good to see Marr & Hill signed up ASAP. Turned into a solid partnership after McKenna left!

If we could get one I would be happy.

I had assumed he played further forward maybe just in behind the striker just with Jack ross' quote on the official website.

Pleased with Kirkpatrick signing. Always thought he did well against us.

But then everyone in Dumbarton's line up generally did.

he came to us as a youngster, and aggy and Turner kept him out of the team for the most part, I'd imagine most of his appearances for us were as a sub, done well while aggy was injured as previously said, you'll see some lovely goals, and undoubtedly his best years to come

Hutchy wasn't even in the legends squad for 22 hours before he pulled out. I'm awaiting word back from one or two more players. I'm in two minds whether to post the confirmed squad tomorrow or keep it as surprise until just before kick off.

Really hope we get a good turn out as it would be a fitting way to end the season for the lads who have gave me everything this season.

I'll need to try and get on a laptop today to post on The Duffle as well as I've not been able to post on their from a phone or iPad for weeks now for some reason.

Jack rates Jordon very very highly will play between the back line and middle of the park can ping a ball well and chips in with a few 30 yarders

Trying to get a price at Mcbookie for him to get Goal of the season

A fantastic day at Beechwood yesterday against the Legends team. Raised around £600 for the team to help us in our travels in the British Cup next season. Graeme Lafferty from the advertiser is doing a double page spread on the match in this weeks paper.

I'm also thrilled to announce that McBookie.com are joining The Station as team sponsors for next season and have supplied us with fantastic polo shirts to make us look the part in a match day.
