Pretty good synopsis from neutral eyes. Looking forward to Saturday
Enjoyed the game tonight.
I've seen Brechin on and off as they circled the SPFL drain in the last couple of seasons. That's the hardest I've ever seen a Brechin side work. You can see immediately what Gary Wood brings to the team at centre half (presumably he'll be showing up a but further forward too once the squad fills out) and Kieran Inglis also did really well on the right of the defence. It must be odd for Paton to be reduced to the ranks as a player but you can see he's determined to make up for last season. He had a really good game in centre mid alongside the young Ukrainian, Max. Cox went off injured (think just a precaution) but what a nightmare he is for defenders when in the mood. Great touch, a low centre of gravity, tremendous work-rate and desire. Still, to my surprise, an absolute bull terrier of a forward and great to see him on a football pitch again.
I think about half of Alloa's team were second stringers and they had most of the ball in the first half, clattering the bar from a free kick. I have also no idea how the ball stayed out the Brechin net midway through the first half when they looked as though the couldn't miss from inside the Brechin six yard box, but it went begging.
Scott came on for the injured Cox early in the second half. Alloa had already had a warning when the young forward hit a shot scudding low past the left hand post from an angle, but they didn't heed it. A quick interchange of seemingly innocuous passes suddenly saw the young man sprinting clear between Alloa's two centre halves. He rifled a great shot from about fifteen yards out into the roof of the Alloa net.
Wee Barry was apparently seething and in a bad mood even before kick off and he began to ring the changes. Unfortunately for Alloa, one of them was Connor Sammon. Sammon had two great chances- blazing over in a one on one situation and then from a similar position hitting his effort straight at Jack Wills in goal. Alloa just couldn't find a way through the Brechin defence who rode their luck a little in the last ten minuites but probably just about deserved their win.
Coach Kirk had some convincing to do when he took this job but I like the way his side are developing- a determined, hard working team who pass the ball really well. You can tell a few of the boys have just met but give them a few weeks and good luck with injuries /suspensions and this team should be really strong in this season's Highland League. Brechin are still a bit light numbers wise and I guess will be looking at signing four or five more for a squad. But I think they have a lot to look forward to at Glebe Park this season.
As for Alloa, I know this is a diddy cup and 60-70% of the teams see it as a series of competitive pre-season friendlies...but defeats to Cowdenbeath and Brechin aren't a great start for Barry Ferguson. He'll brush this off though and I think once he's had time to settle in and work out his best team Alloa should have a good season ahead. No one will remember this result if Alloa finish the season in the top four. They are a big, strong team just lacking a final ball and a bit of composure.
Was fantastic to be back at a game - I was last at a Highland League match in the brief window of opportunity last November. Really has whetted the appetitie for tomorrow night's game against Dundee at Links Park- the first time I'll have been there since March 2020.

This is a real clutching at staws job now. We are now a bigger laughing stock and us brechin fans are more than happy to take our play off place as that is where we are and what we deserve. The board have ruined our club and are now alienating themselves from the fans. We have always had a great raport with away fans and they have always had good words about their visits to the glebe....now we are gonna be public enemy no1 with everyone, and at what cost. This is a shambles, I am so fucking pissed off how far this has been allowed to go. Hang your heads in shame committee, this could and probably will be irreparable.

Was beside the group of 4 or 5 cowden fans who were gettin tore into dougie for his part in the after goal stramash. Can understand why he reacted to the language and abuse they were throwing his way. Both set of players had their handbags oot, no more than that. They seemed to think dougie had murdered somebody.

Come on BCFC committee, all we have is speculation. You now have the chance to try to rebuild your trust and keep the fans updated for the biggest challenge we have faced in a long time. You have all the media platforms to your disposal, use them, pass on some news and info, and try to get the club and fans pulling together.

Goalie stats.....Hope Bowman goes too be pretty poor if we let Paddy go and keep Bowman who is shite. Sad to see pabs go hes been a great servant to the club but I guess all good things must come to an end

Bowman- games 5 goals 10 c.s 0 ave 20 -
We are gonna have to accept that it will be a team of pretty much new faces next season. Can't believe we are losing guys who have been committed to the club yet we can't use this as an opportunity to get rid of Smith, who has not delivered as he promised, and who is on a par tactic wise as Dods. We need to go out and attack league 2 or we will become a lowest league team, or WORSE!!!!!!!

Hope he was just on contract til end of season. As was said earlier, he has not delivered as promised, so in my book that is in breach of his contract, so a sackable offence. Time to take a good look at the whole set up, clear out, reload and bring us back the passion and football the fans deserve. The past 3 seasons have not been good enough (scrapping into the play-off and being promoted was extremely lucky) for a club that has been established and competitive in league 1 for many years. We have gone from best to worst in Angus in one fell swoop, and this will stick in the throat for a long time. If the fans feel this, then the whole club should, and now is the time to address it from top to bottom and come out ready and fighting for the top spot next season.Thats them telt
I fear committee have learned nothing from previous contracts and if he is to be sacked it will cost money we do not have1 -
Jacko usually keeps fit, most of his injuries have been work related. Think he would fancy a season in the championship after starting well before his stomach injury at work in our disaster up there.

Time will tell. He must be sick o this lot that's for sure.
I heard Forfar.0 -
Heard Jacko has agreed to go to the Smokies, dunno how much truth in that tho.

Hopefully with this free week, we can get some injuries sorted, then reassess. With the new signings experience and a bit of hard work... Hopefully a promising final third of the season to come, get ourselves to safety, then see what plans Barry can sort for next season.

If fan power was the reason for his dismissal, and the committee listened to us, then Dods must have heard the same. He had plenty chances to change his approach and style of play but didn't. He just has to accept....it wasn't good enough.
