Can't wait for that.

Not as close as 100 is though.

That's true, but generally we've done very well in the loan market for a while now. Several youngsters we have had on loan have gone on to bigger and better things; e.g. centre backs, Liam Lindsay, Scott McKenna, Jamie McCart and Robbie Deas.

Yeah, we were crying out for a couple of changes as we had stopped playing the way we had and were allowing Cove too much of the ball. For whatever reason, maybe LD off as you say, it didn't work as intended. I'm still a bit bemused that Kev and Robbo are not getting used in those circumstances, but the results are there. PJ has improved as the season has progressed. Happy if he remains first choice next year.

You should have said. Seriously though it's such a pleasure to watch the team now. It's improved generally in its structure, organisation and attitude but clearly the play of Wales, Steven and, to a lesser extent, Sutherland is a joy to watch. That second goal last night was top notch, Kurtis (what a success he's been) doing what he does then Bobby and Taylor taking over and ripping Cove a new one in three passes and a classy finish. Steven Craigen was full of praise for the team and Andy G. Great to see Bobby and Andy interviewed. Andy of course coming across very well. Proud to be an Alloa fan watching it.

Agree with this. Only caveat is the ability to "keep ball" when required. Not sure LD is worth his place just now but Andy is getting it so right generally just need to trust him.

Nice.

Taylor was the main man when I started watching tennis (well Wimbledon, as nothing else was televised). Got to the semis there IIRC when Jan Kodes won in a much reduced quality field due to a boycott.

Don't mention it.

Just the one I think. But I'm no expert.

John Lloyd was the one I was surprised about tbh. He was always portrayed as a playboy, but must have done enough on the court.

You're VERY close.

I won't confirm in case anyone else wants a go, except to say that’s not the seven.

Agree with this, Waspie. It's interesting and informative looking back at those two Alloa sides and what happened to them. I agree Annan look best placed, of the three candidates for ninth, to come through the play offs. Probably just as well as I reckon they will finish 9th. Also think Stirling will beat QotS on Saturday.

Cameron Norrie beating Bautista Agut in the Barcelona Open was his 200th ATP win. Seven other British men have achieved that milestone. For a bit of fun, can you name those seven. (Clue - they go back to the 1970s.)

Greater good and all that.

All aboard. Choo, chooooo!

I saw Shire Twitter refer to him as Luke the Nuke.

Intriguing. Will catch up with it tomorrow.

Montrose losing at Edinburgh City in their game in hand. Thought it would be tricky for them there, but obviously still expected them to get the job done. Having to play on a cold/windy Tuesday evening likely made things more difficult. Leaves us five and six points clear of Montrose and Cove with three games remaining. A strong position, even given our extremely tough last three games.

Deveny has been a bit unlucky this season. Mucked about by Chipper's tinkering and then a bad injury. Personally I'd only keep one of him and Cammy for next year (and certainly a maximum of two if you include Quinn).

I think most Alloa fans would be very pleased if we signed Crane, in particular as a left back. If Andy fancies him, then he may have already had a word. I was a bit surprised Calum didn't push on more with his career after the successful loan spell he had at the Indodrill, but that can depend on fine margins. Still a good player. On Stirling generally, I hope they stay up, if only for Darren's sake. Always like to see him do well - an important player/captain for us during the successful Hartley years and a good guy.

Bit surprised we didn't build the pitch on a turntable so we could change its direction in a strong wind tbh.

Not as good as his pop.

Expecting another good game between the sides tomorrow with the attacking options on display and the way they both play. Hopefully we can keep it tighter at the back and slow the game down when necessary. Only tactical change I expect for Alloa is Scougs coming in if fit, probably for Sammo. I always think that if your team is still in the mix for promotion come this time of the season then it's been a decent year. And here we are. Four big games and, hopefully, four more.
