I don't really believe in it myself but half of that would have done , that said we actually had one of the largest playing surfaces in scotland before , Anyway you lot need to worry about the team. our " EFFIN LEFT BACK " is due a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Doohan Geggan Bell Rose Smith Forrest Kerr Murdoch Crawford Moffatt Shankland Subs: Hare Reid, Higgins, Ferguson, Docherty, McDaid, McGuffie and Moore Extremely worried for this one, our bogey team over the last few seasons and we have a pretty shocking record up there, also still have nightmares about 'that' game last season. The rather narrow pitch aswell won't really suit our style of playing the full width of the pitch either but think our attacking quality will just be enough to see us through as long as we're not sloppy at the back. 2-1 Ayr (Crawford & Moffat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really suit us either. Having already drawn at Tannadice (x2), Inverness and Dunfermline and only losing at Dingwall to a last minute goal, there has been no issue with bigger parks. In the games I've seen at home (earlier in the season) the smaller park hindered us more than helping. But perhaps we are getting used to it now. Still looks like an unnecessary step to me though. Opposition fans are expecting to beat us every week because it's Alloa and they think should win. In truth, the Wasps are doing well so far and every league game, plus the 3 cup games against Championship sides, have been very close. The team look comfortable at this level and should hopefully continue to improve as the more recent wave of loan signings settle. 3 points so far probably doesn't reflect how well they have been doing. With two home games now against Ayr and Falkirk it's important to try and add to that tally and get a few more points on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Somerset isn't the widest of pitches plus we're actually playing lots of narrow pass and move stuff through the middle, so it shouldn't be the pitch to blame if we're mince on Saturday. We also know what to expect from Alloa so no chance we'll be underestimating them. I'd take a 2-2 entertaining draw right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Somerset isn't the widest of pitches plus we're actually playing lots of narrow pass and move stuff through the middle, so it shouldn't be the pitch to blame if we're mince on Saturday.

I'd take a 2-2 entertaining draw right now.Did McCall not narrow the pitch a bit when we went up the last time or did I imagine that? Certainly not as much as Alloa have done. But yeah considering Smith will be playing LB it should suit him considering the last two games he’s played there he’s predominantly moved further in when we go forward. The two midfields will be quite congested though so there’s a fair chance it’ll be quite a scrappy game with players not having a lot of room to manoeuvre.

diegomarahenry Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Based on this seasons results we should win, maybe even comfortably.........but we wont. Either an Alloa win or a draw, or we play for 89 min struggling to break down Alloa and Shankland will do what he does and we'll nick a 0-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but the surprise element isn't there for this one against us - i.e. we should know what to expect from Alloa. Reckon our players will be on their guard and certainly up for a battle. Looks like a draw to me which, tbh, I'll take on plastic after that the Dumfries Disaster . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrExile Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Think we will find this easier than a lot of teams who visit Alloa. The element of surprise with the timewasting and physical style won’t be there. The other challenge is scoring against a tight defence and having Shankland will help us as he always creates chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also recall Steven Bell refusing to give Alloa the ball back after they put the ball out for an injury stoppage and chucking a flare into an open street...things happen in the heat of the moment which certainly do not define either team or club. 4 excellent games between the sides last season, hopefully get more of the same tomorrow.
