I'm well aware but decided to be charitable to both clubs i.e. Alloa relegated ( likely ) and Brechin promoted ( possibly ).

Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 You were technically charitable to one club only. Buchs was a really good player for us and a great guy. Hope he does well, despite the clear sarcasm. Let's see what happens when the season starts (with regards to Alloa, Brechin and indeed Cowden). You may well be right but the League Cup is no real indicator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the two guys we have shall find a bit of form soon or we bring in someone to do it. I think we are also needing a left back/winger and someone between midfield and front players. Still early in the season, roll on Saturday. Cue Williamson then.......oh we can't he's on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, a few happy thoughts: The 4231 that we used against Cowden and (a variant of) against Livingston has the potential to be a useful system for us. With Scougall, Cawley, Trouten, and O'Donnell (plus Boyd) to choose from for the 3 in behind the striker we've got some very talented attacking options. Ben Armour's movement and work rate as a lone striker should create space for the 3 behind to play in. Scott Taggart has started the season well, to the extent that he was our main attacking threat least night. Andy Graham has generally looked back to his best. Howie looks like a decent no-nonsense stopper. It looks like we've got genuine competition for the goalkeeping spot. So, there you go it's not all doom and gloom (only mostly). Superb. What a benefit a good nights sleep is! You should never say what you think till you simmer down, some woman told me that. Good to hear the positives from someone who was there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear the positives from someone who was there.That was me being deliberately positive, my actual view is closer to "this has largely been shite so far, with a few positive notes, fingers crossed things look better when we start the league games".Last night was the last game I'll make for a few weeks so, who knows, perhaps we'll be sweeping all before us by the time that I get back to the Recs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Whilst most of the focus has been on the new signings, we are also still finding our feet in the middle of the park. Hetherington is a big miss in terms of that anchor. Robertson and Scougall are definitely capable but as a midfield duo have rarely played together. Scougall showed some real classy touches but both him and Robbo have more in the tank in terms of imposing themselves on the game. I'm confident that will come with more game time together and with the rest of the team- particularly when we settle and the midfield has more structure and balance. If I was the manager I'd be telling Scougall he's our star, and feed as much as we can through him, make him as vital as he can be to the team to get the best out of him. There's no doubting his ability, I just think he flits in and out of games a bit. I hate to make the comparison but it's like Flannigan in his first couple of seasons. When Simmons and Holmes both departed, Flanny thrived in being the focal point. Hopefully we can get something like that out of Scougall. Boyd looked far better in a more wide role- more central last night and didn't play well. ODonnell has potential, and with Cawley and Trouten to come back in too, talk of impending doom is very premature. Agree with Dink though- never ever play last nights formation again Edited July 21, 2021 by Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not a washed out first division dud, do not going to fit into the headless direction we are heading. It may only be the League Cup, but we shouldn't be getting beaten by lower league teams, let alone Highland League teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Hat Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 We all want the team to do well. It is early days but I think what most Alloa fans would have wanted/excepted was for the manager to bring in better quality to supplement the players that have served us well, including the two promising youngsters in Williamson and O'Donnell. Time will tell on how many of the new signings make it but the biggest worry is goals as Sammon and Armours goal records are poor to say the least. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was maybe a sign that Ferguson didn't fancy him when he dropped him for McDowall. Big call that. I know he's had an iffy time recently, but he's still a tremendous League One keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylstheref Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I said last season that I thought Parry was past it with a couple of errors and his general awkwardness and lack of mobility. That error in the Cowden game probably sealed his fate. He has been a tremendous servant and given us many memorable moments. David Hutton though..........big jersey to fill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlloaAdam Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 So, eh, David Hutton is our new number one? Bonkers. Absolutely bonkers.What a bizarre signing, Fernandy Mendy signed from Raith as well. Probably the 2 positions on the park where we had most cover as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
