east fife for life Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Zero interest in this game I see! I don't care how we do it but 3 points would be excellent against a much fancied Alloa side who were unlucky not to take the 3 points against Raith. When is Page due back?

CmonTheWasps2005 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 My prediction is an easy 2-0 win for Alloa it will be a good trip to Methill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Based on Alloa getting a point against a strong Raith side I'd imagine this will be a tough one for us. No idea how we're faring injury wise. I'd take a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayviewboy Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 We need to get a point at least on the board as games are not getting any easier in the coming weeks with a trip to Arbroath, then the local derby against the Rovers. Have only seen the game v St Johnstone but results suggest we are going to find scoring goals fairly difficult with limited striking options. Of the players still to come back from injury [Smith, Page,Lamont & Kane] Kevin Smith is probably the only one who is likely to go straight in to the team. Pagey would usually walk straight back in but Gordon & Warsonseem to be doing ok in central defence. I would like to see us go with two up front and take a bit of pressure off Chris Duggan especially when we are at home. Still feel we are short of options up front ~ would love to see us bring in Dario Zannata on loan from Hearts. Hopefully we can get a wee bit of luck tomorrow and kickstart our season with a win and 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Looking forward to this one. With the injury situation beginning to clear up at long last we now have options across the middle of the park. With Flanagan, Reilly, Slattery, Willis, Wilkie, Wilson, Hurst and Millar all fully fit we have the makings of a good five man midfield to support the striker...

Bayviewboy Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 You can also I believe add Mark Lamont to that list as well as possibly our new signing (Scott Linton ?) Personally I feel we are short of options up front especially if Chris Duggan picks up an injury or is struggling to hit form. I hope I'm wrong but I can see goals being a struggle.

flyfifer48 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Are Wilson and Hurst not forwards? I assume Kev Smith will join them on HIS return? If we sign Linton we then have 8 midfielders. Add Pagey and Kane we have 6 defenders plus 2 goalkeepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambuslang Fifer Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Playing more attacking formation which we can create upfront and un-isolate Duggan going forward scoring goals or least play attacking football which in midfield you could have Slattery, Millar and Docherty, Wilkie or Linton in there. It looks like the team have players that can play in more than one position which is good but short in quality upfront with smith out injured in hoping he comes back to add to duggan, Mutch and hurst learning and just Duggan surely flannigan and Willis/Wilson or whoever would be better in a forward three? Even young Ben on the right attack and flannigan on the left alongside Duggan ; that Reilly loves a cross but if he can get in the team and deliver them in for Duggan it may work with three up there playing that system. I'm no coach or that but worth a try with us being describe as blunt going forward. as for Alloa they come to Bayview having nicked a point.

Hooper Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would like to see Reilly more as he is very quick and offers something different think when he was playing it helped duggan more with his runs to support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 People are operating under the assumption that Kev comes back and provides more options up front, but the majority of the time I saw him last year he was playing out on the left.

I'm glad to see Wilkie back from injury but how do we fit Wilkie in the Middle like a attacking midfield we had with Robinson or Curran last season do we drop two centre midfielders Pat or Millar that both love a tackle or run about for the 90mins. Smith does play upfront that's probably everyone's guess that everyone thinks we need and missing from the team but was it Naysmith that put him wide left of midfield not just last year?

I know its just a wee afterthought in your post but Alloa were ahead last week until the 90th minute. If anything the opposite is true. Can't see too much changing this week in terms of personnel, probably expecting the same starting lineup. If there's no injuries then I can't see any reason to change it.

If anything the opposite is true. Yeah I noticed having watch your highlights you look solid at the back as always if you have a centre defender of experience like big Andy is for you's that's without McKeown and Crawley putting you ahead until then bit unlucky not to win you all three but I wonder how Alloa will do this year without the goal tally of the two who where on fire that left, by bringing in Cook, Renton, Crane (Loan), Malcolm and Fleming because last season you did have a consinsity to win games and finishing second behind Livingston, as for us beating Alloa we came close at home once that was last season but it's been like a hoodoo ever since but saying that new pitch and early season stuff who knows.
