Waspy Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I think Jim was playing for a draw. High ball after high ball into the box is brutal to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Brechin City are one draw away from the Chapionship. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 A seriously poor game quality wise and entertainment wise.Brechin were the better team for me, I was massively disappointed with Alloa. I really did expect better from them. Either way, I'm delighted another part-time team will be joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not get feeling both teams were holding back a tad .Obviously still made chances but maybe too much at stake too gamble first leg...

"We had to change the way we played a bit, by going more direct and I think that played into Brechin's hands". No we didn't and yes it did. Think back to the football we played on the same pitch in the play-offs four years ago. Wrong approach last night and we got what we deserved. But - it's only half time and the players have shown that they can bounce back. Get the ball on the deck on Saturday and play like we can and we still have every chance.

Agreed Paddy,Brechin will be long odds on favourites to go straight back down,don't think they've that much cash to improve the squad and on current crowds really can't,I think I would actually be behind the couch for Brechin's games next season,but Alloa could maybe spend a few bob and nick a few points on that horrendous all weather pitch,in saying that I thinks it's the best of its kind I have seen,but I suppose playing in the Championship is better than League 1, but if you get battered every week which I fear for both teams,it really drains the football fans energy.

vikingTON Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Brechin deserved to win but Alloa kept the ball better in the first half, which would give them a better chance in the Championship next season. They'd also have a more competitive budget. Brechin's fairly direct style of play would get found out IMO as they would just lose the ball for huge periods of each match.

bsd Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We were really poor last night. Brechin were worth the win. Thankfully only one goal to make up. Hopefully we play more like we did last Saturday which was an entertaining game. Got the impression that we were looking to just stay in the tie last night rather than going for a decisive result. Playing Mackin up front on his own didnt work. Too many poor performances. Thought only Parry, the defence and Flanny got pass marks. The rest were very disappointing. Still if we perfrom like we did against Airdrie at the Recs then we can still get through. Just need a change of tactics and a few more attacking players on form.

BigMartyn86 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 I wonder if Jim will revert to the 3-5-2 he favoured when he first started out as manager and just go for it. Although I fully expect it to be a 4-4-2 on Saturday and I wouldn't be surprised to see Holmes (if fit) starting again. Maybe even Adam Martin getting a start. Spence starting is expected as well. Oh well at least it's set up to be a cracker on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have a point but on the other hand we have a good few ball players who showed on Saturday that on a decent surface they can knock the ball about. I would imagine that IF we go up we would have to strengthen the squad as well so the tactics might change to suit the new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Very nervy from us from the start. Lacked Holmer's leadership and composure I felt.Before the game I thought Jim Goodwin had got the starting eleven correct, but it didn't work out that way. Mackin looked a bit lost at times and we needed him to hold the ball up better.Brechin were the better team on the night and 1-0 was about right.We need to win in 90 minutes on Saturday, and we are more than capable of that. However, it's certainly not a given and Brechin will rightly feel this is a tremendous chance to get up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Richard Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Agree with most of whats already been said. But the ref deserves praise....I thought he was excellent. Mon the city!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KierenAAFC Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Didn't see much from the ref to merit a comment about an "excellent" performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
