Waspie Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 21 minutes ago, Scott-Replay said: What’s the script with Mr Howie guys? Injured or not fancied at the minute? Injured, was going for surgery according to a report in the Alloa Advertiser a few weeks back. He did very well after Rice came in last season and certainly earned his new deal. Another surprise tonight I think with the arrival of a CB. Just like we were well covered for big strikers who can hold the ball up and bring others into play, we appeared to have more depth at CB than any other area of the squad. Can only assume this is because of the aforementioned injury to Howie and expectation that Durnan won't be available every week for a spell. Anyway, welcome to David and all the best. Going by this week's pattern the next signing will be another keeper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Cheers guys. Craig’s a good egg and a good centre-half too (as you know). Hope to see him back playing soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 There’s murmurs on our thread that Liam Brown might be joining you guys on loan. Personally think it would be an excellent signing for Alloa if it’s true. Wouldn’t want him loaned out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I'd be very happy if we managed to get Liam Brown. The guys on the podcast made the case for another midfielder a couple of weeks back and it was a good one. At the start of the season I did feel another CM and a striker would make sense, but Church's shaky start and our lack of cover in that position, plus Murray Miller starting well in midfield, shifted the focus more to LB. I'd still like to see us add another LB option (although it's looking unlikely) and Cammy is also now threatening to emerge as an option for CM. However, Brown is a really good midfielder who would strengthen that area and if we could get him I'd be right behind it. Would make more sense than our other signings this week I think, although hopefully the manager's thinking on those will become clear in the weeks ahead.

vespa Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) Wiki says Kieran Offord has signed on season long loan from St Mirren. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kieran_Offord Edited September 2, 2022 by vespa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Kieran Offord is definitely one we are going to develop into a first team player. You guys will like what you see as he is quick and can beat his man with ease, and he’s a good finisher. He just needs a bit more first team experience and some regular game time in order to get up to speed. Cracking young striker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) My St Mirren supporting mate says that he's very highly rated and he seemed to have a decent goal return at the Shire last season. If he's got a decent amount of pace then this could be a good signing for us. I'm assuming that we're going 5 up front against Clyde tomorrow.

printer Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Well, certainly ending the window with a bang - even if we're getting confused about CBs and CMs. Three players this week, including two strikers is not too shabby. We have several attacking options now. The signings of Devine and Donnelly may well have been influenced by the fitness of Durnan, Howie and Scougall. Or maybe Devine can play left back? Well done to the manager. I'm sure there has been a lot of hard work put in to strengthening the squad. Offord and Donnelly in particular could have had several options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Pacy striker is ideal. Squad certainly a lot stronger than it was and just down to the manager to get the mix and shape right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetableman Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Will be interesting to see the line up tomorrow Can't see miller getting much gametime now Do Howie and Scougall have long term injuries ? anyone know ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloa 68 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) Delighted to be wrong over lack of signings,but not sure why we need another cm and CB,maybe just as options,looks like injuries are maybe worse than we thought to key players.Very happy to finally sign a quick striker though,much needed,and changes the whole dynamic of the squad.As I thought though,no Lb,baffling.Things are looking much better though,and once again,glad to admit when I'm wrong.Have we now used up our loan deals?
