Waspie Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) A crucial game at the Recs with both teams aiming to climb away from the bottom of the table. Alloa certainly much improved since the departure of Barry Ferguson and the only disappointment has been that we haven't picked up more points. 2 draws was a poor return from Cove, Airdrie and QP when we could easily have had 6 or 7 points. We need to now build on those improved performances by beating the sides around us and getting away from danger. I'd be happy if we stuck with the defence from last week. In midfield I'd ideally like to see Robertson, Scougall and Cawley come in, albeit that would be a little harsh on Sena. But hopefully we will see a couple of changes there. Peterhead have reason to be confident with 2 wins against Alloa previously this season, although that has to be balanced against somehow managing to lose to us at home when the Ferguson disaster was coming to an end and with Mendy at CB.

Blootoon87 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Now that Alloa have got rid of that dead weight Ferguson I'm not expecting anything from this. Hopefully the weather and the pubs are decent and we don't embarrass ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bluetoon Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Alloa are much improved team from the side we previously defeated in the League. They also got credible draws with cove and Queens with the later getting a late equaliser. Given how tight things are at the bottom, a draw might not be a bad result but given the form I'm not expecting much. Only guarantee will be McInally making some excuse for a lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon the Wasps. Would agree with Robertson coming back in but I would pair him with Sena and start Cawley in front of them. Also hope the back line stays the same - would hopefully see O’Donnell and Taggs pose a threat getting forward on a much better surface. Wouldn’t be adverse to Boyd getting a run at left wing back either though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KierenAAFC Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Really big this. Have to win. Haven't seen much of Peterhead, they were very good in their cup tie. If you listen to the guys on OpenGoal, you'd think they are great but unlucky. No surprise that the supporters maybe have another view. It is good to see Russell McLean doing so well. Always a player I wanted to come back to Alloa and seems to be finding some consistent form this season, already got a few against us. Looking forward to getting back on our park and seeing Rice's style more, something like first half Cove would be good, turning it into a 90 minute performance. There is no doubt that the more technical players will come back in. Sammo and Riley-Snow were brought in for the conditions and will drop out. I know tough conditions but didn't think O'Donnell did enough in his last few appearances to keep his place. Cawley back in is the main one, like another poster said on another thread - any Alloa team with Cawley in it is better. Would like to see the return of Robbo too in a natural position. Hopefully Henderson begins to find his form again starting this week. Has cut a frustated figure last few games and definitely hit a bump in the road with the red card. Hasn't scored since the last time we played Peterhead back at the start of Feb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think also that Sammon and Boyd is potentially the best combination we have up front when we play two with Boyd bringing link up play and a work rate that Henderson won't. I did feel that Boyd and Scougall were central to a lot of the bother we caused Cove, with Sammon also very good. But I totally accept it's hard to argue with Henderson's threat and goal tally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote similar in the match programme. I'm not sure if Henderson is nearly as effective in this system, albeit he played against a decent well drilled Airdrie team and a tattie field last week. So those aspects may be mitigating circumstances. I guess it's a watch and see. As you say, our top goalscorer so we want to maximise his impact if possible.

bluetoonscotty Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 1 win since the start of the year makes it difficult to be optimistic for this one but really need a win here. Had a great day out at the 2-4 game earlier in the season so hoping for more of the same on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetableman Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 We need a win no doubting it Peterhead need it too I just hope it does not cancel out a good game BR still looking at his best setup ? never saw the QP game so hard to tell if we are improving or static 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 We're definitely looking better although it took us a while to get going against QP. But as Waspie said, it's points we need and we should have picked up more from the last 3 games. Hopefully the points will come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie on a Roll Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 A must win for both teams. If results go our way we can leapfrog Clyde into 6th, if they go the other way we may find ourselves right back in the mix at the bottom. Hopefully see Cawley and Scougall come back in. A repeat performance of the Cove first half please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bluetoon Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Looks like Jason Brown is available again. Hopefully that means the bomb scare that is Andy McDonald gets dropped but I doubt it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
