Guest Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Don’t know about anyone else, but I thought their narrow pitch pretty much played into our hands, and was far better suited to our game than theirs. It was easy for us to stay compact and connected at the back, and they seemed to be needing width that simply wasn’t there. I guess they were looking to restrict better players, but when we rolled up with players of questionable quality, it was a case of “thanks very much, that pitch will help us no end”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few Alloa fans bemoaning the width of the pitch. Seems they are saying that it's holding them back more this season than it is any of the visiting teams. Does seem a fairly bizarre way to go about things, narrow the pitch then sign wide players that can't then play to their strengths. Almost Falkirk levels of forward planning, that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they were looking to restrict better players, but when we rolled up with players of questionable quality, it was a case of “thanks very much, that pitch will help us no end”. The more fluent of play was from Alloa from I guess from a core of players who have been there for years knowing the best pass to play to x y z or where player x y z will run to etc etc Bigger pitch would've easily made them more effective than our rough, ready shined up fake diamond, today wasn't a miracle just decent management, coaching and positivity which McKinnon is trying to breed throughout even with players who will be lucky to make the bench post January. All very much night and day from Hartley, next week is ............... I can't find the words but I know we won't go down the shameful excuse of performances we seen last season v the pars under Hartley, still we beat Brechin 3 times, woeful Morton twice, qos team who could've sneaked a draw and ICT who in would've knocked us out in a boxing match with 11 v 11 and let's not forget the three friendlies we won in our last three games ! Today was a stepping stone, nowt more...but bring on the pars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Houston is working his magic spelll I see from yesterday's result his mission to arrange the collapse of cappieliw is underway as instructed. Just needs Gasporato to be are_introduced to the defence and agent Harris to be signed in January then they will be the club Alloa will be targeting to be above.

I'm prepared to forgive some of the current squad for just being well out of their depth but this is a player who has scored goals as recently as last season at a higher level and doesn't even look remotely like finding the net for us. Further to that i'd add that he looks like the only one not actually trying or even remotely giving a damn about anything going on around him. Muirhead is having a shocker of a season so far but at least it looks like it's genuinely riling him up. Haber just jogs around hoping the ball might accidentally hit off him. To be fair this is roughly what the Dundee fans told us to expect when he signed iirc. They were still unhappy about losing him though. I understand the big lump is on a 2.5k a week contract (we have agreed to pay 50% of that until Xmas.) What a disastrous piece of business! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Fester Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Great to get a win, thought we could have been punished if Alloa had a better finisher, we still have the annoying habit of the ball being pumped out of defence when we are under pressure just for it to be played right back at us. I caught the second half of the Dunfermline v Partick game on the Teuchtar Channel and up until they scored it was almost like watching Falkirk, the ball getting pumped nowhere in particular, if we keep it tight and try to string some passes together in midfield not continually across the back then hoofing it up the park then hopefully we can kick on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 He had a couple of big spats on here and noticeably on the GMFC thread. It was all getting quite heated then he said he was suffering depression and needed to step back for a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
