Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, Waspie said: Fitness thing was interesting too, think you could see him getting fitter and also developing as a footballer over the years. Absolutely spot on, year on year at Alloa you could see that upward trend in his overall fitness. Paul Hartley was almost obsessed with this aspect at Alloa and you could see the difference it made to Sparky even between his first and second season. In 2012/13 he would run up and down the left all game for us. I thought it was a big mistake releasing him. He clearly embraced the fitness aspect though, looking after himself and when he returned to the club he was better for it. This helped his versatility, and allowed him to play in a more demanding central role when required. In the games against Rangers for example, he was absolutely terrific in the 3 2 win. And when we drew 2 2 at Ibrox he was charging into everything like he owned the place. Even now Sparky is a player I would have at Alloa. Last season he ran the show against us for East Fife at New Bayview in centre midfield, helped slightly by Hetherington being forced to switch to left back admittedly. A brilliant player who deserves his place as a firm favourite amongst supporters.

printer Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 On that note we could really do with some good signings soon. We were always going to need some really strong additions to just be competitive. As it stands, we are considerably weaker than the team that won the play-offs. Have to hope the gaffer has a few good signings lined up. Yeah, we certainly are at the moment. I'm hoping that's because Goody is waiting to see which full time players who are looking for a full time contract end up either not getting an offer or getting full time offers which aren't worth taking, and so decide to go part-time.Or something like that.

So there's at least one marquee signing on the way 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll literally get the strips just before our first betfred cup game if last year was anything to go by. That leaves very little time to do a video.

When Parry was away the start of last season and injured in the season before Craig didn't make any mistakes from my memory and was very unlucky to drop to the bench when Parry returned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
