D'Jaffo Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hopefully our comeback today will act as a catalyst for another run of good results. Alloa were a bit of a bogey side last season and everyone knows what happened on our last trip up there. Will be interesting to see how our players cope with the narrowed pitch. Think we’ll win. 2-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 let's exercise the ghost of last season, Goodwinn seamed to have McCalls number last year but we will hopefully have a full strenght squad unlike the last game hard there, hard fought 1-0 victory for Ayr the one and only Shankland with the goal.

D.A.F.C Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Prepare to watch 30 minutes of Alloa taking slow throw ins and rolling about. Brilliantly organised side but they know how to shut down a game. Not sure why as they have some good players on the ball especially Flannigan.

The 2-1 win was the closest we got to full strength but I think we got two injuries very early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the infamous 2nd last game last season we hardly had a defence not taking away from Alloa as they played very well in the first half of the game, if we get any pens just hope Moore is on the bench [emoji85] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Goodwin deploys the same time wasting and ultra defensive tactics he did last season then this has the potential to be a very frustrating afternoon.

My only enjoyable moment of the 3-3 game was where Goodwin gave it the dying swan routine limped off and then was jumping up and down to get back on the pitch and ref wouldn't let him on for 2 minutes. Tbf though Alloa didn't timewaste as much in the other 3 games and are a much better team without it. I actually think the narrow pitch will suit us as we like to play through the middle. Crawford always cuts in from the left anyway so we rarely use the left wing unless Smith bombs forward or McDaid is on. I think we will just shade it. 2-1.

Zanatta took a few unnecessary tumbles in the first half but apart from that, think it was pretty warranted. Stuff like that works both ways as it did yesterday with you lot too [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Since Ross County play Inverness next week a win for us would put us second and a draw in the other game would put us back on top. Can’t let an opportunity like that slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice cushion over 9th & 10th after 6 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we’re in a position we’re clear I’ll keep looking over our shoulder. We’ve failed in our last 3 arttempts here so need to keep ourselves up first. Think between this and the Morton game we should be looking to take 4 points. With Alloa narrowing the pitch significantly, I wonder if we may go with McGuffie on the right and Crawford on the left, something like the following: Doohan Geggan Rose Adams Smith Murdoch McGuffie Crawford Forrest Moffat Shankland Subs: Hare-Reid, Ferguson, Bell, Kerr, Docherty, McDaid, Moore Just feel with it being tight Guff and Crawford on the ball would be effective, but I don’t see McCall changing it up that much. Crawford can move centrally and Forrest on to the left if it’s not working or when we’re under the cosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not dropped him, just if we were to have a little change of shape I believe Murdoch would fill that role better with Kerr maybe not having the legs now.

They all have a major role in how well we attack. To say not playing Kerr would make us less creative is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
