The Alloa Athletic Thread


Recommended Posts

Alan Cook goes to stenny on an emergency loan. 28 days on the deal but imagine he'll be away in January.


Probably best for both Cook and Alloa that they part company. He looked a good signing on paper, given his raw talent, but it hasn't worked out.

Perhaps the manager is partly to blame, but I feel it's more a case that we've seen why a player with his ability has bounced around the lower leagues for several years. As much a mental thing as anything else It seems.

Clearly that some of Big Jim's weekly wages budget potentially released.

Cook was like a headless chicken sometimes , we can put adam martin on instead of him , problem solved .

He put PJ wide left last Saturday which brings me back to my original point of playing players in their preferred/natural positions to get the most out of everyone. Get Tags to right back and Frank in at centre half with Robbo back in the middle.  No room for chickens - headless or otherwise!

Thought crosses my mind that Crossan's loan is only to January. Don't quote me on that but hopefully he's here all season.

We saw the quality that Celtic U20s possess when they hammered our U20s.  He isn't getting into that team as not of the same quality so I expect his loan to be expended until end of season since he is getting games each week.  There are a few decent players in our youth team with Martin, Cunningham, Kearney and Greene the pick so we should be looking to develop these boys for our own benefit.

It is, but managers made comments about extending it.

Cook obviously not happy at not starting most weeks but I don't think he's merited it.
