You’re not alone. I suppose we count as one of the ‘big’ clubs in this league but we’re used to that as well after 12 seasons in the top league.

When I’m at a game I tend to look for the 10-yard mark for taking corner kicks. The mark actually coincided with the edge of the box, which I’ve never seen even at non-League (Whitehill Welfare’s pitch is narrow but still works out at 66 yards). If my sums are right, the pitch was 64 yards wide as opposed to ICT’s which is 75, in line with most of the Premiership. Totally agree with you.I have yet to speak to a fan who likes it and i know the players hate it.Its up there with Leveins 4-6 formation in the shitebaggery stakes.Its clearly a plan to stop full time sides stretch us and i will concede that it does work in that regard.The problem is we have good wide options ourselves and are in fact a decent side so it hurts us as well.

Poet of the Macabre Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 A good point for Alloa but the fans seem pretty bullish for a side that has one league win to their name so far and managed to lose to arguably Falkirk's worst team ever. Also, yes, I do realise this means you'll beat us next week but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercaleyman94 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Wasn't a boring 0-0 like our game against QOS plenty of chances from both ends but from a ICT point of view it's very disappointing as Alloa created the better chances hitting the woodwork having a couple of chances where they were unlucky not to score some good counter attacking had us on the ropes at times. We had plenty of shots but most of them were off target Aaron Doran should of scored in the first half when he managed to get through on goal & we were inches wide in the second half following a corner set-piece. Jordan White missing an absolute sitter summed up our day didn't look like he knew much about it. He later found decent space & managed to win a header only to head it miles wide should of got it on target at least. Sean Welsh had a decent shot that went just round the post. We were much better attacking when Nathan Austin & Daniel Mackay came on hopefully Austin is fit enough to return to the starting line up by next weekend at least.

Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Disappointed we didnt win yesterday, created the better chances, with excellent performances all over the park. Front 3 caused lots of problems, with Flannigan and Robertson pulling the strings well in midfield. Thought we lost a bit of momentum going forward after we made the changes, but manager clearly states in his interview he felt we were tiring a bit and losing a bit of ground- so fair enough. Admittedly Inverness looked more of a threat after introducing Austin. Regarding the earlier comparison to Hartleys team of 13/14- manager has put together an excellent group but not to the level of the team who took Aberdeen all the way up at Pitoddrie and beat league leaders Hamilton Accies on their own patch. On current showings they shouldnt fear anyone in the Championship and could potentially eclipse...but a long way to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much bullish but We know we are doing a decent job on the park Considering who we are The Falkirk game aside (we were dire ), we realise we are a part time side punching above our weight and cannot ask anymore from our players or manager.

I definitely rate Goodwin but I feel it's a squad that would look out of their depth with a daftie in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another Jock that failed to cut the mustard south of the border. He wasn't too bad at Wrexham got 7 goals out of 25 appearances. Barrow on the other hand 7 goals out of 44 appearances not so good. He has been decent enough so far this season bagging himself two league goals & a Challenge cup goal. He seems to get in the right places at the right time & he is really tall so that is a huge advantage but he can't seem to jump very well he would suck at basketball . He also ain't got the best touch in football & he's pretty slow compared to our other players especially our other 3 strikers. He works hard enough though can't deny him that. His goal against Morton was pretty sweet so he will just have to do for now till Austin & Oakley get back in shape. he has been able to get in the starting 11 recently due to injuries some fans have been giving him pelters but if you ask me the whole team has been rather lackluster the last few games & he certainly ain't the main source of blame for our lack of goals . He played with his back to goal like he normally does on Saturday & just wasn't getting the right support till the last ten minutes of the game . To be honest i would be surprised if he manages ten goals this season George Oakley & Nathan Austin are better options up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thought Zanatta was decent, as was the number 16. We just don't see to have any bounce or drive about our team at all just now. Last time we went up, we had a front three of Foran, Hayes and Rooney. Now we've got no-one like any of those three now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
