cedrick1 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Yes and stats say 50/50 possession and I don’t think that’s accurate as Alloa dominated meaningful possession. I only remember the Durnan chance . Don’t want to take anything away from Alloa . Well worth the win today . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrobell Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Not to be pedantic here but Match balls are upwards of £100 these days. £30 gets u a sports direct number that's not worth even training with.Trying to say mitre who sponsor the league are charging clubs 100 quid a pop don’t think so 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 First of all, fair play to Alloa. They deserved to win, the only thing that stings a wee bit is the manner in which we lost. I'm quite happy to absolve Wright of any blame and lay that squarely on the pitch, it was always going to catch players out today. And unfortunately for us it caught out the last line of defence. A real shame, and he didn't deserve it as he was excellent all match aside from that moment. I was a wee bit concerned when I saw our team without Carsy in it. And the midfield was where we lost that game. Paul Paton was excellent again, but it just wasn't happening for Adam Hutchinson, Gregg Wylde or Carlo Pignatiello. Contrast that with Alloa's midfield of Adam King, Mohammed Niang and John Robertson. All of whom were absolutely superb. Robertson especially as the disciplined holding midfielder was absolutely magnificent and a real thorn in our side. Steven Boyd was a constant threat and big Conor Sammon dug out a really decent, selfless performance. For us? Well we only really turned up in patches. Conner Duthie and Ross MacLean looked excellent in stages, but were then totally missed out for long spells. We didn't offer much of a threat down the wings, and Callum Wilson and Kalvin Orsi struggled to have any sort of impact off the bench. We badly miss Josh for something different up top and his absence combined with Carsy's were highlighted badly. Faz is hopeful about having both back next week, which would be a major boost. All that being said, I did still see positives. Bronsky and Buchanan played well, Stanger (despite clearly being a CB at RB) was solid enough and as mentioned earlier Paul Paton was Roy of the Rovers-esque at times. It was just a shame he was having to do everything himself in there. The overall performance wasn't great but, for a dodgy bounce, we'd have taken something. Which is what I'll cling to. Especially given how Alloa bossed the second-half for long spells, but only really had the Durnan chance that Kieran Wright somehow clawed clear to show for it. I thought Alloa looked like a team playing with the fear of the Ferguson era banished. Especially after they took the lead. I don't imagine it'll be a major ask of Brian Rice to keep this Wasps squad up - but his bigger task will be turning them into title challengers next season. For us? If someone offered us the chance to play every game away from home for the rest of the season, then I'd bite their hand off for it. At Broadwood last weekend we played some lovely stuff. That just wasn't possible on the disgrace of a pitch we've got. I seriously hope Faz is expressing his displeasure about that, and that something will be done for next season. Because it's an embarrassment. And it's going to be something that puts players off signing for us or staying with us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I only managed to catch the first 30 minutes or so today and was absolutely appalled by the state of the pitch. I’d rather we didn’t bother our arse to get the game on at all, what I seen was two teams massively struggling to play football on an utter disgrace of a field that looks like it has had cattle grazing on it for the last month. That’s not to take away from Alloa’s victory, they obviously adapted to the conditions better than ourselves but I’m not going to criticise the players for losing today, that was a total lottery in those conditions and I have genuine sympathy for them. I reckon some of them must be questioning their decision to join us having to ply their trade on that pitch. Whoever sanctioned the whole ground share with Rangers B is a fucking moron. By all accounts a bobble on the pitch cost us the 2nd goal? That could be extemely costly come the end of the season. The manager has signed a team who are far more suited to playing the ball on the deck and they simply can’t do that. Give me the worst plastic surface in Scotland any day of the week over what we currently have. I hope the decision makers at the club are having crisis talks about how the hell we sort this mess out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youngsters were great today, no problems at all and there was maybe 70-80 of them. A whole section at the end of the stand bouncing & singing. They possibly contributed roughly close to £1k to the Club today, £8-£10 a head and hot dogs, cola and macaroni pie central. Good on them I say. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the well behaved ones don’t want to get banned they should really stop attending games with the ones who are causing bother or identify them to the club so we can get them to f**k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to agree but I can’t. I’d be all for them turning up and creating an atmosphere but smashing bus windows, seats and stealing balls is completely unacceptable. If the good guys far outweigh the bad guys then it wont be hard to sort it. I agree someone needs to have a word with them, whether that’s the manager or someone from the board. They have the potential to be a great addition to our support but they seriously need to wrap the pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
