baillieinleeds Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's not so long since it involved heading over to Stirling Bus Station and catching the bus to Alloa! Much easier these days. Will be interesting to see how we get on here. We started the season with a steady enough looking squad but a real lack of threat up front compared to last season. The addition of PJ Crossan on loan helped add pace and Goodwin then managed to bring in a real goal threat in Ross Stewart. With Jordan Kirkpatrick now back in too our attacking options are massively better than the beginning of the campaign. Kirky was impressive at the weekend. We'll see the next few weeks how it all knits together but we should be well capable of causing every team in this league plenty of problems. Remember we are away from home, we truly are that awful, for a full time team that train every day we just can’t do it. Alloa are a quality team that cause us problems every time we play at the Rec.....sorry Indodrill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I've liked about Goodwin as a manager has been the willingness to change things when they haven't been going well. The signings at the start of the season may have been a mixed bag, but he's worked on it, and there's plenty of reasons to be optimistic that we can score a decent number of goals in the second half of the season now. He's doing alright, despite the occasional odd decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Team on Saturday for me, if Robbo is confirmed out:LennoxJT McKay Davo MurrayBarr Matthews Vaughan NellyBuchanan Spence Robbo confirmed out. I’ll stick with this. Confidence isn’t great for this game, it’s not the fixture we need right now. But none the less COYR!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMartyn86 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'd back us at 66/1 for the league fellow Wasps. Trounce this lot tomorrow and Barry's bottle will go (again) add in that Ayr Utd have already collapsed despite being the greatest team in decades #phreemunney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a real problem with being a goal down for any length of time. We got goals back quickly against Ayr (twice, both at Starks) and Forfar at Starks back in August, but when we are a goal down for any length of time you can almost physically see the confidence and composure drain out of the team....

Raith Against The Machine Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The team leak guy is usually right on the money. It is all set up for Lennox having a nightmare though... To an extent, it's to be expected when you swap goalkeepers. Often takes them a game or two to bed in. Bit of patience and Lennox will be fine.

Was it not a director that told him to stop posting the team? I vaguely remember reading something about how him leaking the team for a game against Dundee United gave them an advantage as someone from inside the DU camp, for whatever reason, read the post and they changed their own team/formation accordingly. Sure enough we got beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbykdy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 While I too hope that Lennox comes in tomorrow is no one else concerned by his injury record? He has been with us for around 18 months during his two spells combined and must have been unavailable for about a year of this. While I realise the facial injury was horrendous and wouldn't wish it on anyone he does strike me a bit as the McHattie of goalkeepers with one injury after another. Just hope he doesn't break down again if he does make his way back into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably let him away with the facial injury as it seemed to be a freak accident that's rarely seen in football. If he was having recurring injuries of the same thing i.e. McHattie/C Barr then I'd be concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
