The Moonster Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Some anger management issues with Mendy there, absolutely no need to react. Hard to say how we've played in those highlights but it's a lovely goal from Stokes. He really deserves a run in the team.

Totally agree with you regards Mendy there was no need to get involved in the situation, probably frustration with himself for being piss poor today. Dumbarton had a game plan and stuck to it and changed it when we were down to 10 men. As for Alloa just weren’t at the races kept the same tactics as last week. Ferguson is clueless at spotting player or tactically changing thinks on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I’m by no means trying to defend Barry Ferguson here but realisticly where are Alloa fans expecting to be sitting in the table? You are currently 6th with Cove, Airdrie, Montrose, QP and Falkirk sitting above you. I’d have expected those teams to be sitting above you at this stage of the season and only being 4 points off a playoff place doesn’t seem like all that bad a position to be in at. If for example Andy Graham had Alloa in that position would there be calls for his head after 15 games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Falkirk, Airdrie and Queens Park being full-time I’d imagine their budgets are considerably higher than Alloa. Cove might be part-time but they will absolutely have a higher budget. Montrose probably don’t but they have been a very good team at this level for some time now and have a settled, consistent squad with the best part-time gaffer in the country outwith Dick Campbell. From the outside looking in it really doesn’t seem like Alloa are in a bad position and they are 5th in the form table based on the last 6 games which isn’t terrible either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. That was the expectation however the new manager blew the budget on dross when he didn't really need to. There is plenty talent, experience and youth there which could have been boosted by some top quality recruitment. Instead we get guys from lower leagues and without clubs. Says it all, I will now be satisfied just staying in league 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two real chances I cut out were Sena hitting one behind the goal that I thought went in at first glance and Orsi skewering an effort ridiculously off target from a promising position on the edge of the box. 11 minutes tends to have too many highlights for most games so I hope that it was pretty good reflection of what happened. I'm pretty sure we'd have won it if we had 11 men. Got to be chalked up to Mendy having a mare. Even the penalty, Mendy's defending - I don't know what he's doing. He's ran past the ball, missed bodying the player if that was what he was going for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair you are probably right, personally I thought we would be in the top four and in the promotion play offs.The issue is more around indiscipline, poor signing some have not even kicked a ball yet. Signed 4 keepers, Center half’s and full backs and still concede goals for fun and woeful tactical changes repeatedly done every week. Along with the manager more interested in his outside media interests rather than speak to our fans through local media and our own tv streams. But hey ho he likes a scrap with his own supporters as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the media guy admitted he simply didn’t have time to conduct post match interviews with the gaffer due to time constraints and having to do everything himself kinda thing? If he’s choosing not to do interviews with local reporters or club media then that is piss poor but is that the case? Again, I’m nae Barry Ferguson fan at all, I think he’s a cock, but he does seem to get it a lot worse than others would. edited to add: whenever I used to watch Kelty highlights he’d always pop up at the end with an interview discussing the game etc. Edited November 21, 2021 by Bring Back Paddy Flannery 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday he shot up the tunnel like a rat up a drain pipe. As you can see not the only one complaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for example Andy Graham had Alloa in that position would there be calls for his head after 15 games? Think the issue is more that he is completely unlikeable and has gotten rid of perfectly competent players who have been terrific for us for years and replaced them with lower league jobbers who are yet to show anything close to being title challengers. Results haven’t been the worst but this is mainly down to late goals papering over the cracks, sat in and blew it against Queen’s Park and 2 freak goals got us the 3 points there, and a goal straight from kick off to get a point at Falkirk with a minute to go. Montrose last week could be seen coming a mile off with his love of sitting in and defending a lead despite being in control of the game.Genuinely worried for us this season, don’t look like we have any idea how to break a team down, feel like we’re going to concede from every attack due to us being all over the shop and we completely bypass the best part of our team, the midfield, with aimless punts to a 5 ft 6 striker. Will be interesting to see if Mendy comes straight back in after his suspension seeing as Howie (not his signing) has struggled to get back in after his sending off, but would not be surprised in the slightest to see Mendy (his signing) come straight back in despite Andy Graham sitting in the stand twiddling his thumbs every week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Funny to think Alloa were able to bring on a player that once commanded a £1.2m transfer fee. Edited November 21, 2021 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
