Scored a challenge cup goal for Accies against Hearts B, suppose technically a senior goal but against a B team. Quite surprised when I dug into that but suppose not his game at all and his been a bit bitty few years. Thoroughly deserved after his turn of the year form. I was one that suggested a possible loan move would be best for all parties. Now, it’s hard to see a team without him.

Hopefully didn’t put words in your mouth, @AlloaAdam. Good to have these sort of chats stemming from what other supporters have said, as opposed to just our opinion! Tonight’s result in Edinburgh changes the last part of today’s pod ever so slightly. @Kevchenko care to say what you said off air? Looks to be coming true!

See you for the promotion party.

Picked the perfect game to come back to Scotland for. That was a lot of fun. Not a bad mark on any player today, from PJ in goals with some big saves to the forwards showcasing some real quality, it was a joy to watch. I was a coin toss for man of the match between Roberts and Virtanen though. Controlled that game with their composure and energy. Hetherington back into that mix too is a great problem to have, the complete opposite problem, to what we had last season. This Alloa team seem to be able to rise to the big occasions, something I hope we can say come May. Again, a brilliant travelling support matched with the effort on the pitch. The scenes after every goal and full-time were superb. The man at the helm, Andy Graham, maintaining his coolness when I spoke to him after too. Said on the pod, you see no difference in message whether we win 5-1 or lose 2-0. The message is consistent, never too high, never too low. A brilliant leader. Today, a real showpiece for his short reign so far.

Forgot how this thing worked!

We already kept Wales the last Scotland camp when he was called up for friendlies, these are now qualifiers for the EUROs. Can't blame him and wouldn't really want him to knock the opportunity to potentially play a tournament like that. Although, for us, definitely a massive blow.

His finish yesterday was lovely. Back heel finish, well worth a watch. Bobby has been excellent, even when not scoring. Works the line well, intelligent positioning and touches, as well as now adding goals to his game. Sometimes his best performances are when he doesn't score! He is a bag of tricks and a joy to watch. At timed we have seen a frustated figure against some of the better teams in the league but all part of why he is here on loan. Wales and Steven just look like young players really enjoying their football and playing with a lot of confidence.

Only one answer.

Agree, think the way we have been doing it works a treat. Don't want to see Wales start on the wing but his most effective part of the game at Accies was his little cameo on the left. Despite Sammo's height, he isn't a striker who'll win those flick-ons, like MacIver. His attributes lie elsewhere. Much rather have Scouggs in behind with his energy.

Dave McKay been very good the last few weeks. Obviously Taggart coming into centre half is no downgrade but then you lose him on the right. Definitely weakened without McKay, at the moment. He was very unfortunate on Saturday too I felt. Different challenge for Robbo than his game against Stirling against an ineffective Hilson and Carrick.

Alloa play a 4 at the back and have such an old astro turf, so those might be hard! Good to start a big run of games with 3 points. Looked some real lovely stuff played.

Futsal, you say?

@AlloaStats on Twitter, or John Glencross (@johnglencross12), will have plenty.

Never came off the bench in League Cup. Only minutes for Killie have for the reserve side in Challenge Cup.

Blow for Saturday, absolutely. Never expected him to play anyway. We lost Euan Henderson for a few weeks before returning. Don't think all is lost yet.

Who are the other 4? Reilly loves a goal, or penalty, against us.

This week we will do a special podcast of half way awards. A poll up on Twitter for supporters 1/2 POTY. Only 4 candidates, so add in comments if you think someone else. Honourable and close mentions for David Devine and one of Ally Roy / Bobby Wales, had they played more.

Straight swap for Rodden. Harsh on Coulson but Steven so much more effective in behind and not up top.

Wrote a little piece of Andy getting the gig. A warrior on the pitch and a gent off it. Some of the highs of his time at Alloa and why I think he destined for success as boss. https://kierensfootballramblings.blogspot.com/2023/11/the-andy-graham-alloa-era-begins.html?m=1

Yes, I think an unrelated visit to the vacancy. If he was watching Kurtis, he would've been delighted. Another top drawer performance.

Alan Maybury and Brian McLean. Not that it says much. Oh, and one of note on the bench!

My only requirement. Cardigans for trackies.

I'll take responsibility on this one. Work commitments and not being in Scotland have made the last few weeks hard to record and commentate at the games. Hoping for normality resuming this week for an episode
