If we can win on Saturday we would go 7 points clear of them, Alloa would've played 12 games and only won 2 of them. It would give us a great wee cushion. Pressure all on them.
 

Wouldn't be getting too excited at this stage, it's still pretty early. We also appointed a new manager right on the cusp of the new season, one who didn't know our team or this league, and thus wasn't really placed to make the 3 or 4 loan signings Goodwin would have at that stage of the summer. We are very short of players. Added to that, he had a wee experiment early on with a new formation that cost us a few points. All things considered, 10 points so far is a decent enough effort. Main thing for us is to aim to stay in contention until New Year and then add to our squad. Today won't define anything. Be a good one to win though!

Not getting excited just saying it can take a long time for teams at the bottom to pick up 7 points in this league, so getting that kind of gap built up would be great, don't see the problem?

Also last year 8th place finished with 11 wins, to get 5 after 12 games would be a great boost

It can take a long time. Or you can pick up 12 from 4 games like we did towards the end of last season. I think talk like "pressure all on them" at this stage of the season is a little excitable.

If JT is out we’ve got plenty of players who could cover RB, but it’s about finding someone to play there which won’t disrupt the rest of the team. Been mentioned to me that Scott Stewart could perhaps fill in there, with McKenna staying on the wing. Wouldn’t mind this as keeping our midfield 3 together is essential imo.

Great 1st half after Alloa goal they came into it and were the better team until it evened out a wee bit midway through second half. Stayed strong at the back and saw it out

Huge difference having Whatley and Gold in there.

Both teams played some nice stuff
