Rhys McCabe Hype Train Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Discuss. Going to be another tight one I think. Airdrie and more particularly the midfield haven't quite hit the heights we saw them at earlier in the season, but when they click they're the best in the league. What's media darling Chipper got in store for us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossm25 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I'm not feeling too confident about this one... We badly need to get that midfield purring again ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dextermorgan Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 The midfield is OK in my book. Twenty one shots last week and one goal to show for it would suggest the forward line is needing to step up. I think we have been too reliant on the midfielders like Easton to chip in with the goals when our strikers are not doing the business on a regular basis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fernández Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Feeling a bit nervous for this one as it was a missed opportunity on Saturday against clyde. Feel that Callum Smith has to start upfront and would prefer McCabe to be in defensive midfield so he can dictate the play. Great to see Gabby McGill back again and feel he can have a big part to play between now and the end of the season. Will also be interesting to see how Alloa are since Ferguson has left and Brian Rice has taken over. Dont care how we do it but we have to get 3 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see this being decided by a goal, Euan Henderson loves a goal against us so need to keep him quiet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee wasp Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 If alloa play the way they did until the sending off on Saturday I think they can win, and keep 11 men on the park Alot of these boys played as if a huge weight had been lifted off their shoulders and it was refreshing to hear some positive encouragement from the bench for a change 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he'll start, although he is available again after a 2 game suspension. Sammon was a standout last week and manager signed Ross MacIver during the week on loan. Suspect he'll play some part though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I have gone for an away win, more in desperately hoping to reel in Cove, but we were way off last time at Alloa. Getting shot of Barry would help most clubs, and I want a more assertive midfielder to take the game up the park. So out goes Agnew and Smith must start. It will be tough whatever side appears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, Smith is a good player and does have pace and workrate is good, it's a boy to put the ball in the net we desperately need to keep challenge going, don't think we have addressed the problem, it has been there from start of season, Smith and McGill would start is that maybe hard on Gal who we have had to rely on so often, it's a hard choice for manager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondman Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Recreation Park has offered little for us in recent times; even when we have travelled with optimism. Hoping for a better day come Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agnew definitely out for me too but for Kerr as a bit of physicality required to deal with Sammon. I would also go with a front two of Smith and Gabby. Kyle MacDonald might come into it too if fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 First-half was terrific last week and a similar level of performance will cause problems for any team in the league. We should have held out with 10 men anyway, but no doubt that the game did change on a debatable refereeing decision. Hopefully we can reach similar levels tomorrow and keep 11 men on the park. I'd have Taggart back out on the flank and I'd be happy to see Howie come in if we're keeping the same shape. Big call on whether or not Henderson starts after strong showings from Sammon and Boyd last week. Big call also between the sticks. Hutton is often a bit of a scapegoat for some fans because of the circumstances in which he arrived at Alloa but he isn't a bad keeper. However, hard to recall many saves you wouldn't expect him to make, and more to the point I was disappointed in him being stuck to his line last week when Cove were putting us under siege in the last half hour. Someone like Neil Parry would have come and collected a few crosses and calmed it all down. Strong case for giving the new lad a shot tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commentary is very good, up there with Dumbarton's for me. Unfortunately the main commentator, Kieran?, I could be making that up was missing last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson contributes very little apart from his goals - yes I know his goals are a huge plus, but for me I'd rather see the level of work rate we got from everyone last week again. With Robbo out I'd go with the same starting eleven (I'm assuming the formation will be the same) with the possible exception of Hutton making way for Morrison (who I can't remember seeing play). Unfortunately I can't make this one, so will be relying on the stream. We need to be looking to put a run of home wins together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
