Waspie Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The games against ICT over the past couple of seasons (and there have been a lot) have invariably been close and hard fought. And have invariably ended in draws or ICT wins. Alloa win today well overdue and very timely. Particularly impressive in light of those missing too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacArab Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Thanks Waspies... As United are clearly fucking incapable of finishing the job in timely fashion ourselves, its affy nice of you to lend us a wee helping hand. Great result today, and given other results, you must be well chuffed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwedge77 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Superb by Alloa today, dreading it on way to ground with the players out. Parry once again solid back four were comfortable. Robertson tackles in second half were outstanding. Midfield in total control and front three running riot. Don’t know how we only won it by two. Inverness had no answer to the pace and direct play by Alloa. Banks and Connolly were superb. Best 90 minutes at the recs for a long time.Valuable three points and 180 minutes of Parry return and two clean sheets. Big question if Flanny is fit for Saturday game against Patrick who do drop or do you put him on the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Daylight robbery. We should have been absolutely pumped rotten today. I can barely remember troubling Parry until a couple of minutes from the end when Walsh flashed a shot just over / onto the bar. The rest of the game Alloa took us to pieces aided by some lacklustre defending from us. There was no one with the entire mountain range of the Ochils to stop Alloa taking the lead with Connelly having far too much time and space to lash a shot beyond Ridgers. Apparently it took a deflection but it was hard to see for sure from the other end of the ground. Not too long later the second arrived. Harsh free kick against White for handball but again we looked shoddy defending the resultant cross which found Trouten at the back post and he tucked the ball in from close range. There didn't look to be any ICT player in close attendance and if there was there were still other Alloa players unmarked in an apparent breakdown of who was marking who. Our only real chance came when White tried to seize on a knock down but from a couple of yards out he couldn't connect with the ball and Parry gathered. Second half Alloa initially seemed to sit in before quickly realising that a defensive pairing of Brad Mckay and Kevin McHattie can be easily be gotten at and set about utterly destroying us. Star of the show Scott Banks tested Ridgers when he broke free and curled a lovely shot towards goal but Ridgers leapt across to block it. Alloa then missed what looked like an easy chance to get that third goal. Alloa forced Ridgers into a save but, with the ball bobbling just in front of him, he couldn't hold on and the ball broke free to an onrushing Alloa player who rounded Ridgers but then hit the post from a yard or two out. Banks again showed real class as he did spin after spin to dance through the ICT midfield and defence and he was unlucky to see another good effort go over the bar and Alloa had a further chance when they rattled the crossbar. Our only real second half chance came when Walsh sent a half cross half shot onto the bar but we were well and truly gubbed today. A lot to think about in the coming weeks.

Highland Capital Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I wasn't at the game today but one thing that's become increasingly irritating to me over the course of the season is the fact we only seem to have one shape. It's 4-2-3-1 whether we're winning, losing or drawing and regardless of who we're playing. I know we don't have a big squad but we must be one of the easiest teams for opposition sides to set up against because you can the guess the team and the system a mile off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oweny Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Banksy was majestic today . What a player this boy is ... Brilliant tactical game played today by Grant . We are in good shape . We totally spooked them and some of our football was out of the top drawer even without the best midfield player in the division missing. Roll on next Saturday.

Mon Alloa Not sure how you spooked us. Robertson has acknowledged several times over the months that Alloa play excellent football and we've already had some very close games against you this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Also worth noting that after the game Robertson made a point of going to every Alloa player at time up, which was a touch of class. The performance was up there with the win over Dundee United as one of our best of the season. A very comprehensive win, with everyone playing their part. Banks was absolute class- best individual performance Ive seen from an Alloa player in quite some time. Connelly also terrific. A selection headache for the manager now, which can only be a good thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Any word on Toshney's injury, and was the Tremarco substitution by Todorov late on because of injury?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertson has been very complimentary about us already a few times this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
