    Alloa Athletic -V- Inverness CT - Preview

    Recreation time

     

    Or to put it more accurately, we are off to Alloa on Saturday for matchday ten against the Wasps followed closely by matchday eleven against Dunfermline Athletic on Tuesday night.

    But firstly, we have to concentrate on getting the better of Alloa, something we failed to do earlier in the season when they came North and went away with a credible draw even though they finished the game with ten men. Brad Mckay opened the scoring early on but Alloa were gifted an own goal off the back of the unfortunate George Oakley's head. We went ahead just after the break when Welsh slotted a penalty after Zdravko Karadachki was penalised and dismissed. Despite playing almost the entire second half with ten men, Alloa still managed to snatch a point when Ian Flannigan scored a late penalty. Day to forget for Inverness was summed up when Coll Donaldson passed up a great opportunity to score before the equaliser when he smashed a spot-kick off the bar.

    Our last visit to Alloa ended in a dismal 1-0 defeat in the league cup during the Richie Foran era. Some described it as an all time low at the time with Jason Marr scoring the winner in the first half.

    Last time out Alloa got their first League win of the season as they dumped Partick Thistle thanks to a goal from Dario Zanatta.

    Inverness remain unbeaten, but that statistic is turning into a bit of a millstone around our necks as we appear determined not to lose rather than to go on and try to win games. That's now six draws and three wins this season which gives us fifteen points, eight better off than Alloa. We sit third in the table with Alloa in second bottom.

    Team News
    Robbo will be without superhero Coll Donaldson for this one. Big Coll was sent off at last week for a second yellow offence and Jamie McCart who replaced him at Tannadice will fill the gap. George Oakley is back training but it's too early for him to get on the park. Jordan White bagged the goal last week and will be most likely to continue up front with Nathan Austin and Daniel Mackay on the bench.

    Wasps manager Jim Goodwin sent this XI out against Partick Thistle:- 
    Parry, Taggart, Roscoe, Graham, Dick, Robertson, Flanniagan, Cawley, Trouten , Zanatta, Shields.

    Yes, difficult for J R to field a team based mostly on attack but without it they can't win,. apparently/. Either that or the front men are not too slick in  the final analysis.

    But against Ross County the team sure played well. That was a great game which, if offered every week , would surely soon draw all the non-attendee fans back .

    Besides, John,  a draw is boring isn't It?  Being unfulfilling and seemingly neither one thing nor the other.

    No easy games in this league and especially so for this one. Tough one to call but I do hope we can get rid of the draw and get this season on the move with a win that we so desperately crave.
