Edinburgh are due to get a result against someone with all their games now being something of a free hit. This could well be the game. I am sure Bartley is already working on a masterplan which will see us create nothing. Following this he will tell us how its all the players fault for not following instructions.

After the Annan debacle I thought that it was not possible to get any worse. Then along comes Bartley to prove that it is entirely possible. What on earth is he trying to achieve with his negative tactics? Chopping and changing personnel every week, little or no organisation. A complete and utter charlatan who should be long gone. Edinburgh next week sets us up for another shambles. I have given up listening to the post match interviews, the same tame questions every week. Hardly surprising that the answers are the same.

Should be an interesting game then, as our home form is pretty bad. From our view 3 points for us would be also be welcomed.

Don't see us getting anything from this game. Customary home win for Alloa. The pre match beers will probably be the highlight of this day.

The way things are going I think its safe to say we will feature in the playoffs. Annan have come in to a bit of form whereas we are in freefall with a clown at the helm. Stirling and Kelty I think have enough about them to finish above us.

Not much I can add to this that hasn't already been said. We were ok in spells but when Falkirk inevitably scored we collapsed like a beach hut in a Benny Hill sketch. A blind man could see that playing such a high line was going to prove suicidal. Just what was Bartley hoping to achieve by that? When our board made the decision to appoint him they deprived a circus of its clown!

Wullie Gibson makes some valid points. However I find the timing of it a little strange. It would be nice to hear both parties version of events. Very much doubt that we will though.

I'm surprised to read that Hartley has 2 years left on his contract. Genuinely didn't know his deal was so long. Do you think your board are capable (unlike ours who clearly aren't) of binning him if necessary?

Prices yesterday were extortionate.

Falkirk fans will probably outnumber us.

Another chance for Bartley to show off his own unique style of anti football live to a grateful viewing public. Game being on TV and our car crash of a season will probably result in our lowest attendance in years.

Am I the only one that finds myself scanning facebook pages and the official site desperately looking for news of his sacking? Surely not even he can survive yesterdays shambles.

Deliberately waited until today before posting, in order to let yesterdays debacle sink in. Just when you think it is impossible to be any more of a seething mess along comes Bartley to demonstrate that this is indeed possible! Starting Mumbungo wide right and McKay in defence was beyond logic. Reilly became more and more isolated as the game progressed. Both goals perfectly avoidable if we do the basics of marking. What on earth do we do in training all week? It should be obvious to Bartley by now that he has lost the respect of his players. Can't blame them for not playing for him given his willingness to throw them under the bus at every opportunity. Haven't watched his after match interview but no doubt it will consist of more of the same about game plans and individual errors. Well done to Annan, they were due a win against us. They wanted it more, and have a team spirit and commitment that we lack.

Hard to see anything other than an Annan win here with our solitary striker spending the entire game chasing scraps. While their team is limited in quality they are at least showing a bit of fight. Something of an alien concept to our team.

While I'm not a listener to Super Scoreboard I know he is a regular on the programme. It always makes my blood boil when managers talk with such authority on other teams affairs (and ignoring the failings in their own teams). Maybe they should spend a bit more time on their own teams affairs and a bit less pontificating about others. I agree with the rest of your post also. You are no different from most of us when you can't understand why he is still in the post. He must be talking a very good game to our BOD! No need for you to panic though, this will probably be the easiest 3 points you will get all season.
