diegomarahenry Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Alloa were the worst team I have seen in a long time, really bad. did nothing of note, had no areas that were strong, from their keeper waving at a couple of efforts on the way past to Bryden having time to take a touch, pick a spot, shuffle his feet, take another touch and then shoot. Conor Salmon is a name you hear and think, he’ll give the defence a hard game, he barely got a touch. The barely got involved in the Tammy after Tomlinson got booted in the air. Just no fight at all in them. Bullens comments post match were spot on, we kept at it when the game was obviously in the bag at half time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Just got home. I throughly enjoyed that game, probably the most I've enjoyed a home game in about a year. I got the liquid football, its very pleasing to actually try and play the ball on the grass. The pitch was lush. Everyone did their bit and as complete a performance as I've seen in a long while. It sets us up nicely for the league season kicking off. Our first three fixtures are toughies but will be a good barometer of where we are as a squad. I'd like a couple more signings for sure. I now just need to work out how to renew my season ticket. The email link doesn't seem to be working and I don't want to buy a fresh one. I'd quite like my current card to keep working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Quietly confident we will be up there for top 4 again come May, last season we were a one man band, stop Dipo and we revert to hoof ball, this season we look to have a good 3 or 4 who can influence the game score or assist and we should have some of the Dipo money to invest in this squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) Wrt. Logan Chalmers. I'd rather get in two new full backs tbh. I'm not convinced we need Chalmers, unless a wide player is going out we are stacked with options out wide.

AUFC 1910 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Was in the stand today for the first time in many years, and as much as I hate saying it, you get a cracking view of the game. Was great to see players playing with a mission for the full 90 minutes and coming out well on top. Pitch was top class. Will be exciting to see the north terrace take shape in the flesh. Fingers crossed for a good draw tomorrow. Next week will be a tough test and if we can come through it with 3 points, will be a superb start to the 2023/24 campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd play him on either wing and it'd give us the option of Amartey or Murphy as a second striker behind Rose. I don't know why it should be but bringing a player back for a second stint never works out as well as you hope either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it should be but bringing a player back for a second stint never works out as well as you hope either. I think all three of them (plus McGeady) can play behind a striker too, which is a pretty exciting thought with some of the interchanging that could happen. Plus they aren’t all going to be fit all season so if we are going with a better style this season it’s important to have that kind of quality in there.

diegomarahenry Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 On Chalmers and do we need him. Yes. He’s a very good player. he’s also young where as McGeady and Murphy are not. It would allow for them not to play every game, which they probably won’t anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 The only disappointment today was the attendance. 1,498! Given it was £12 and a combined event with the rugby team, I was expecting better than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to take the saleability factor into account too - if he improves the defensive side of his game he is more than capable of getting double figures at this level and being sold. His technical ability is brilliant. I think signing players like Pendlebury shows the club are also thinking about succession planning - something I have to admit I didn’t think about when I thought I saw he was similar to our other option. That is obviously very important with the age of some of our wide players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxanne's man Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 It's fantastic to see the youth keeper come on today, hopefully that boy comes on leaps and bounds. Obviously, we've had some shite keepers over the years. Ruddy, Hillcoat etc.....Pj Morrison looked absolutely shite today for Alloa. Sure he appeared for Ayr a few seasons ago. How far we have come 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree he looked shite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Did anyone see McGeady there today btw? Didn’t see him wanting up at all before the game, but guess he could have been in the boardroom/stand with Mathie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous manager built one our most expensive ever squads, of almost 40 players, last season and we lost around £2m. MacLean shafted trying to cut that squad and wage spend while having multiple dross high earners still on the books. Our bench today was full of literal kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s now played for his boyhood club 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
