Waspie Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 What a day. Left the house at 1030 and a broken down bus meant I still missed the game . BBC Alba saved me and I scared the kids big time with the scenes for both goals. Tough on Dumbarton but we deserved that over the two games. Became increasingly desperate as it went on and we really needed a bit of luck to get a goal. We got it, just in time, and then Kirky provided a bit of class. Clearly wasn't fit today but well worth the gamble. Condolences to the Sons who have done so well in the Championship and who have, IMO, the soundest posters on P&B. Really hope you bounce back. Jim Goodwin now has a huge task on his hands with the loan players leaving and everybody else out of contract. Going up should make it easier to get good players, but it's going to be a massive challenge in the Championship. I've questioned JG at times but he absolutely nailed it over the past month. Congratulations to him, that's his promotion and it's a fantastic achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a great chance gaining promotion of keeping kirky and maybe even Stewart !, with the buddies in the premier these guys would scarce see the pitch, also Calum Crane looked absolutely delighted at the end , maybe he was waiting to see if we made it up , who knows ? he looks to me like someone who has really enjoyed being here and has come on leaps and bounds . with us playing calum smiths pars next season i don't think that will happen but its all speculation ..

stu20vt Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Alloa fully deserved it and well done. Enjoy the championship, and you'll take over us next year as the best PT club in scotand. We were just rotten and deserve to be relegated. To play that way at home and to take Stirling off who was our only goal threat. When that happened I said to my mate that aitken could regret that move. Unbelievably poor. I have no idea what will happen now to the club, have a bad feeling we're in for a rough few years now.

Nowhereman Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Its Aitken's squad but the nature of competing on your budget means you need to gamble a bit on players with mixed fitness records, young loanees, guys looking to reinvent themselves and guys at the wrong end of their careers. He has got more right than wrong generally over the last couple of years. Maybe not so much this year but his successes were in the defensive half (Dowie, Wardrop, Gallacher to an extent, Barr and Hill). In an attacking sense Handling hasnt been available enough, Stewart wasnt as important as hoped, Nade became a very large shadow of hinself and then made his position untenable and a succession of loan players offered little. And he had no help from a scenario where your pitch and the weather conspired to give you a shocker of a fixture pile up which hasnt helped the chances of getting a competitive team on the pitch latterly. Lot of lethargic looking players today, some no doubt nursing injury through to the end of the game. Not particularly trying to mount a defence of Aitken, wasnt me having to watch it every week. But I suspect a necessity of keeping things tight at the best of times was compounded by circumstances. Next year would surely have been even more difficult. Perhaps a period down a level will help in terms of entertainment on the pitch at least. Though it wont help the finances. Challenge cup run didn't help with the fixture pile up either. We just seemed to give up/run out of steam after the final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
