Think Montrose' Pixellot could use a window clean

I'd hope the saving grace is that there's no more Stirling or Falkirk to be played at the Recs. The grandstanding troublemakers who climbed over the wall won't have the same audience and it'll get back to being about football. Fairly certain those people weren't in the ground either. Just coming outside specifically to cause problems.

Going to have to resurrect posting in this thread.

For reference. At a cursory glance not enough to make the playoffs.

I went last night to gauge the opposition. Had a particular eye out for the ex-Alloa players. I was critical of Stirling's centre mids. Neither was involved. Why you are content to let the ball get hoofed over your head for 90 minutes instead of showing and playing some actual football? Barring Leitch getting involved a few times on the edge of the box I can't think of much contribution to the game. We had Murray Miller on loan last year and he's a bright technical midfielder - he's just small. Sure he'd have offered better value. Offord looked dynamic when he came on but I assume the shape went to a 4-2-3-1 at that point. Certainly didn't look like he was being used as a striker. Any early joy Stirling was getting was diagonal to Hilson running into the channels but that fell flat after the first 20 minutes when to me it looked like he had burnt his matches. Offord got a few years and a few yards on Hilson I'd wager. I would say on the left back Clark doesn't add much - but I don't think Stirling have too much guile beyond Carrick but he sits disciplined to set up a 3-2-5 with numbers in the box and hope Cummins can deliver. Marauding from left back probably was Callum Crane's crowning achievement scoring against Ayr United - We've been heavily right sided in chance creation for a while and it helps a lot when both wings can contribute.

Despite agreeing with@bridge of allan bairns assessment of being a 'better team', we (Alloa) are very brittle. Queen of the South were abject when they came to ours but the other two games imo they've looked better to me than Montrose and Stirling and I wouldn't put it past anyone at this point to blunder into the playoffs. Going to watch those two tonight so I might update that opinion after some prime brexit ball. .

I'm only in sunny Alloa but temperature due to drop tomorrow overnight. Would expect it'll just survive.

A poor Dunfermline team against a resurgent Wasps in the playoffs? Checkmate cyclical time deniers. Look forward to recreating this image.

If it were up to me and I could cast Alloa's vote the Oriam is better equipped than Meadowbank. However having played a few games on hot days indoors at Toryglen - it's really hard to avoid overheating. Don't think players would take to kindly to that in the long term.

^^ Will caveat Ogayi was relishing being in the first team so much he didn't want to tell anyone his hand was painful. He was literally punching balls out from corners with a broken finger so I've cut him a lot of slack for that. Sincerely #1 Ogayi fan.

Was back to futsal last time I saw him. He was okay but a bit lost in the increased physicality of 11 a side. Was fun to watch in smaller side games in training though.

He's been described as a winger but he's been deployed as a converted wingback. I was tentative to tie him down for a position in the announcement. I wouldn't put it past him to be the left back on Saturday. However since I saw this morning he's a former futsal player I'm expecting joga bonito.

Domestic loans only. International ones need to go tonight. Edit: I'm with you still two left in scotland

A team who just went on their longest unbeaten run since 2019 are indeed struggling hard.

Just had a quick look on Wyscout and while he's big and quick. I can't see a single shot tagged in his time at Hamilton. His finishing at Tranmere leaves a fair bit to be desired.

Anyone you have in mind?

Asked ChatGPT to make this statement any more outlandish. Was not disappointed.

I know - just collecting it for the list of sins.

I know it's the unofficial official twitter but posting an entire article needs the full permission of a copyright holder. Even if it was obtained a picture of a newspaper on someone's lap is just a weird way to do content.

Noone's uploaded apart from me just yet. A slow weekend.

Put off for life

Now that I've listened back I'll give you that some odd moments. Possibly the hazards of doing editing in front of a pub dinner although I can't rule out not caring for watching anymore of the 0-5 Video chat for those whose favourite topic it is:
