Ken Dodds Dads Dead Dog Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Stewart has earned his place in the team with his performance last Saturday. We've never played well on the plastic pitch through there so I'm going with 1-1 and the usual moaners on Fantalk (yes, you Tam) to predict that Murray should be sacked, the end is nigh etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover1990 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Looking forward to tomorrow...hopefully a repeat of the 2nd half last week...gonna go for 2-1 Rovers...Nade to score again. Hopeful we'll line up like this: Cuthbert Thomson - Watson - Perry - Mckeown Anderson - Moon - Scott - Conroy Nade - Stewart Subs: McGurn - Ellis - Fox - Mathews -Callachan - Vaughan - Elliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I would generally look to get Moon playing at all times but the team that started the second half on sat should play. Scott should drop out if anyone. It would be classic Murray, though, to drop Fox after his best game in ages. I would expect us to struggle here but make enough chances to scrape it if we're jammy.

RoversMad Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Not going to make this one today...working again... So it will probably be our best away performance of the season, 4:1 Raith Nade with a hat-trick & Spence with the consolation just so we get to see his finger & thumb celebration.

I'm missing this one so it will probably be an emphatic alloa win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Going to come along to this. Never driven to Alloa before and don't really have a clue how to. I presume it's easy enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume it's easy enough? Aye, you can't really miss the town or the ground. Assuming you're coming from the east, just follow the signs for Alloa, there aren't really any dodgy roads or turns you need to know about, and then the Recs is on the main road through the town. You'll come past Morrison's on your left, then a fire station on your right. Right after that there's a KFC on the right hand side (literally next door to the ground), turn right there and there's a red ash car park with plenty spaces.

Wilky1878 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Looking forward to this today. A performance like the first half in queen of the south and this could be ours for the taking. Is Sparky still suspended or was it only one game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pedal on the right, the noisy one, give this loads of beans and turn the big wheel right and left a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Very even game, other than the goal. Keeper at fault for that one. Buchanan has wasted a couple of great chances with dodgy headers, and Alloa hit the post from a corner. Referee being very inconsistent with his definition of a foul when two men contest a high ball.

Ken Dodds Dads Dead Dog Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Looked to be a lot of fouls going by the stats on Sportscene. Niggly game or fussy ref? Noticed Simmons and Spence both got booked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number one wasp Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 No idea what the keeper was doing for the goal doesn't fill me with confidence as he doesn't look like he wants to come out for crosses either. Was a pretty even game apart from that we had our chances to get back level terms with a header hitting the post but we need to have a little more movement for the ball too many players standing still waiting for balls to feet, Meggatt was the best Alloa player for me he fought for everything today.

CALDERON Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Better side tbh. Pretty comfortable. Not much in the first half but the second half was simple enough. Did enough and defended well. Alloas game plan pretty much consisted of Simmons trying to kick the f**k out of Nade. Very pleased to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 The big question is, will Spence still go to Nandos? #comforteating #nohappy Mon the Rovers! Top of the league! Can't get better than that. Bring on the Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Comfortable in the end. We didn't work the keeper much after the goal but we didn't really have to. Alloa only ever threatened in the air, and even then the sum total of their endeavours was one header coming back off the post, and the rest sent wildly off target by the domes of messrs Buchanan and Spence. When you think that Nade is the clear focal point of our entire attack, and he had by far his worst game in a Rovers shirt, I think it tells you a lot about the game.As I mentioned at half time, the referee was giving a lot of freekicks for slight infringements, and then letting play carry on for similar offences minutes later, particularly when two men were going for the same ball in midfield. The decisions seemed to be going Alloa's way in the first half, then benefited the Rovers more in the second. Either way, it stopped the game from flowing and I don't think that troubled the Rovers given that we had the lead. I don't think there were any complaints about any of the yellows. Spence looked like he wanted one just so there'd be a record of him having participated in the game. I don't really enjoy watching the Rovers defend a one goal lead, but we didn't really drop deep in the latter stages of the game, something that Murray's teams have been guilty of in the past. Presumably Alloa have got some fairly serious concerns about where their goals are going to come from. They didn't create a single chance on the deck (that's not to say they were playing a long ball game) and Buchanan and Spence aren't renowned for their heading ability.
