    Elgin looking to be something of a conundrum at present. For all the talk of playing great football, the goal-scoring exploits of Shane, & the league table showing Elgin with the 4th best 'goals for' & 3rd best 'goals against', the team currently sits marooned six points outside the playoff spots, so the sum seemingly being less than it's constituent parts. Haven't been able to make it to a game in a while, so don't have my own thoughts to add to these observations, so wondering what others that are going to games are seeing & thinking?

    need to see out games better and forget about entertaining at times

     Enjoyable end to end game . Impressed by Stirling who worked their socks off. A draw would have been a fair result but Elgin's old soft centre problem is back again. A lot of teams in the mix for the playoffs and we will need to be better if we are to be one of them. Matty Cooper has been a very loyal servant but too many goals have been lost from that area recently due to an inability to stop and close down crosses. Would like to see David Wilson given another chance. As far as Shane is concerned running at defences in the last third is fine but he was caught in possession too often further back and in the first half he gave away possession on numerous occasions. There was no link up play with Brian Cameron who is best going forward. Also felt Omar should have been on at half time for the ineffective O' Keene. A win on Tuesday is essential to get some confidence after 4 defeats in a row

    Agree with this. They have a good support too, impressive numbers for a club who haven't done too much since stepping up to the Scottish League. You would think that Elgin have the setup to be a steady League 1 team with the ambition of having a crack at the Championship. Plenty of potential. 

    u r so  right very frustrating

    Thought we started very well today, pinning Elgin back early on and playing some nice stuff. Didn't take advantage though and began to drop out of it as a fired up Elgin took control. Good opener as we were robbed off the ball (I see Alloa twitter guy suggesting this was a foul. Would need to see it again) with McEwan advancing and finishing well. Could have been worse too with MacDonald keeping it at 1 before half-time. Elgin deserved their lead. 

    Alloa came out looking like they knew they needed to raise it and they again pushed Elgin back. Great work from Taggart to follow up on a shot from edge of box and he finished superbly, although would question keeper parrying it out. Similarly for second, fine hit by Cawley but keeper should probably have stopped it. And defending wasn't great for third either! But we were well on top second half and could have had more. I'm sure Elgin will be disappointed after a good first half that they dropped out of it so badly. Encouraging for us that we were able to lift it after a rather flat first half. Good win. Could see again how short we are on numbers but positive to have Liam Dick back. Two youngsters did well when they came on. As did the not so young Buchanan who linked things up very nicely after coming off the bench. 

     

    good summary

    Elgin, other than a wee flurry in either half, were absolutely awful. Had paid absolutely no attention to how we play and were happy for us to have the ball. 

    We didn't get out of second gear but absolutely cruised it for the most part. 

    3 goals scored by our youth players. Braw. 

    u r a complete roaster mate out played for most of the game

    Ach, a win without even bothering our arse. A bit of a classic cup tie affair with a division between the sides, I’m sure Elgin will obsess over certain decisions and chances and what might’ve been, we don’t especially care about the game or what happened and will go through happily enough. Could’ve been 3-3, could’ve been 6-1. That’s the way it goes.

    Good strike from McKay. As much as he isn’t the answer at RWB, he does have a good shot on him.

    Don’t think we got any injuries, which is the main thing.

    u were very lucky hope the ref has s nice night in your gaff
