  1. I'm glad I took the decision to travel up rather than the easier, cheaper option of the telly. I hadn't been to Cove's ground before so it was one to tick off the list. I didn't think it was up to much really, better than Edinburgh City's but that isn't saying much. We generally played well, but completely lost our way in the middle 15-20 minutes of the second half. Fair play to Cove for taking advantage and deservedly got back in it. At 2-2 I would have taken a draw, but thankfully the team had other ideas as we started putting passes together and got a grip on the game again. Both of Bobby Wales' goals were excellent, with him and Taylor Steven we could prove a handful in the play offs.
  2. Today was a complete contrast to the free-flowing encounter at Links Park a short while ago. Today was dictated by the conditions with players understandably focussing more on avoiding mistakes than playing expressive football.
  3. Stirling were a shambles today and we took full advantage. Wales and Steven were back to their best, although they were given such a boost by the Albion's farcical defending. I know most Alloa fans want Hetherington back in, but for me Virtanen should keep that centre midfield role.
  4. The pre match scorn from QoS fans on this thread, coupled with AVFTT talking us and Andy Graham up last night, inevitably set up a defeat for us today. That was a tough watch, especially the first half which was utterly turgid and we looked devoid of any ideas. There was more endeavour in the second 45, but we never looked like scoring. Defensively we looked nervous throughout. The sooner Wales & Steven are back the better.
  5. A first visit to this venue - for an Edinburgh City game anyway - and it was a bit surreal. It was as though we thought "Job done" when we scored 5 minutes in, as we seemed to switch off and were so sloppy, outfought for most of the first half. Edinburgh deserved the half time lead, and could they have had a penalty in the first half as well? I had a terrible view of the incident admittedly, but it looked like we'd got away with one. Thankfully we got the finger out in the second half but I still thought 5-2 was a bit flattering.
  6. A competent and efficient performance from us yesterday, resulting in a comfortable win. Last week at Montrose was pure entertainment, but this game was much less adrenaline fuelled from a spectator's view. If I was a Kelty fan I'd be concerned. Maybe they're hit with injuries at the moment, but they looked like a team on a very low ebb. It will be an interesting battle to avoid 9th.
  7. No idea, possibly dissent? A hugely eventful game which you couldn't take your eyes off for a second. While our defence had a real off day, credit must be given to both teams for the attacking intent. The fans got their money's worth.
  8. A great result for Alloa yesterday, with decent goals and there's reason to be optimistic for the remainder of the season. I find myself looking forward to AG's post match interviews as well, he seems to have the right blend of positivity while keeping it real and not sugar coating. A good skill.
  9. That's mad that we've picked up more points from a 20-20 goal difference than Accies have from 30-13
  10. Enjoyed the first half, especially Sammon's equaliser. Well thoroughly deserved the win in the end, there was only one team in it throughout the 2nd half. It was a shame that the goals conceded were self inflicted, all excellent finishes mind you. Can't complain with the effort put in from the team today, a decent day out.
  11. I replied to the email from Fanbase which confirmed the purchase and they responded earlier today. I should get the money back in the next few days. There is also a "Contact us" option on Fanbase which should work as well.
  12. I wanted to go to this one, but a horrible flu bug picked up on Friday put paid to that. This must be our best result so far this season, capped off with some scenes at the end. I also like that Andy is putting Cawley in a central role, that pass for QC was sublime.
  13. I hate shit like this, as you say it's embarrassing and am glad no one was hurt. I thought it was a good game for a 0-0, and a point was the least we deserved. I'm not sure that Falkirk are a necessarily a better team than Accies, I suspect we're simply better suited to Hamilton's style of play. Bobby Wales did well today, if he can somehow find an end product he could be lethal at this level. Maybe one goal is all he needs.
  14. I can only echo the previous comments on Mungo McCallum, he signed in my first season following Alloa and he was excellent. Gregor Abel made some incredible signings that season and Mungo was among the best of them. If not for a bad injury the following season, he would surely have ended up playing at a higher level.
  15. Interesting draw for us. Not been to Fir Park since a hugely enjoyable League Cup penalty shoot out win there in the mid 90s. I fully expect the 'Well to get their first win over us in 37 years.
