Sarcastic Bairn Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Easy win and should/could have been more, Rice looks like he has thrown the towel in at Alloa. Alloa did try and mix it up a bit after half time, the number 10 Rodden more so. Ogayi wasn't anywhere near as good as Jay Hogarth for you guys and didn't help you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevchenko Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 1 hour ago, printer said: I was surprised to see him starting. How did that affect the line up/formation? Without the ball we fell in to a 4-5-1, we were so disjointed that it was actually difficult to tell what we were in possession (not being able to hold on to it for more than a couple of passes doesn’t help!) but mostly looked to have Steven and Wales up top as a 2 in the first half. The midfield was a mess - at times Stevie was the farthest forward midfielder with Roberts the deepest. Miko seemed to float around not doing anything or picking up anyone - I’d have subbed him before halftime to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back four, Stevie H further forward than Roberts, Miko starting. I blame @LeodhasXD tbh. Edited October 28, 2023 by printer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what it was supposed to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogayi is our reserve goalie, playing because PJ is injured (an injury caused by Neill's shit defending v Hamilton). There's no comparison with Jay (who is tbf much better than PJ too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlloaAdam Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Looked to me like it was a back 5 first half then he changed it to a 4-5-1 second half. We were a bit more solid second half albeit both teams were happy to settle for 3-0. Feel like a broken record with the back 5 but I just don’t think it suits the players we have and we never look comfortable with it. Wish he would give a 4-2-3-1 a chance for a couple of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Ogayi without a doubt putting in one of the funniest goalkeeping performances I’ve seen for a long time, especially at TFS. How on earth has he rocked up in Alloa? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame @LeodhasXD tbh. Parties bottoming out so I'm just catching up. I don't agree with Stevie h being further forward. We started with the highlights formation - changed by the end of the first half to a four with Taylor Steven wide left, Wales up front alone and Buchanan RM. Back 4 with taggs in normal Rb devine, Neill, deveney. second half we rotated again which was better but the horse had already long bolted. I think to my best knowledge we went to a 4-4-2 with McKay rb, Neill devine taggart lb. Midfield 4 without virtanen and Wales and Rodden up front. Can't deny Ogayi was at fault for the first. Although I did note there's two balls in play while the throw comes in and it looks farfetched that Neill could contact the ball through MacIver to concede the opening corner. Second goal looks like it may be over the byline. It's certainly very close. Third is a beauty. One of those that you hit once in 50 tries. Thought Rodden was a miss in the first half and clearly brimming with confidence after last week was the biggest threat in the second. Before the game he was the best goal per minute striker in Scotland. Might have slipped down the rankings with that blank 45. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the two points you make - not sure the first was a corner, and not sure the second wasn’t over the byline - but both were right in front of the linesman. And if we’re doing “should have”, we should have had another 3 goals in the first half. All academic though. As for Rodden, nobody was a threat in any way shape or form all game. He ran around and threw himself into tackles more than the others, and did a bit of comedy diving. Does having the sexiest defender in Scotland laugh in your face make you a threat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat behind the goal and it was a stonewall corner for the first, the ball wasn’t out for the second and who gives a f**k if there a second ball on the pitch as long as it’s not interfering with play. The only bit you’ve got right is that the third was a thing of beauty. Take your medicine and move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) I was pretty much in line with where the corner was 'won' and where Henderson knocked back the second. I must admit I thought the first should have been a goal kick but the second wasn't even close to being out. Certainly wouldnt have been given as a corner if Alloa hadn't made us attack the South Stand in the first half - which is quite funny. Really shite defending/ gifts for the first two goals but tbf we more than repaid the favour with some comical misses. I do like how Alloa leave two men up for corners (I wish we would leave even 1 ourselves) and generally look to play quickly and on the front foot but it was incredibly naive and played right into our hands. Bisland did well on what I think was his first league start and Yeats was good in midfield. Agyeman probably MotM for his goals but thought Ross was excellent in the more central role. The moment when he drifted past 3 or 4 Alloa players, played a 1-2 with MacIver and used his pace to run through on goal was a great bit of play Considering we were missing Morrison and Spencer it was a really good win Edited October 29, 2023 by NavyBlueArmy1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was probably the easiest first half I've seen in years at TFS, you were fortunate it wasn't an embarrassing scoreline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
