  1. Must have been something off the ball. Looked like the linesman saw something as he had to tell the red where the feee kick should be taken.
  2. Full time. Probanly a fair result. Alloa had the best of the first half, we looked more likely after the break. A few good saves by Ridgers but credit Devine for keeping Cameron quiet after he came on. I’m not sure about McCann’s tactics. A few times it looked like Ridgers’ instinct was to go long but he held back and played it short. If we are going to continue with that approach, we need to keep the ball better and give players options for passes. We need to win on Tuesday against Morton now after today’s results.
  3. Why was the Alloa player sent off? He didn’t argue so something must have happened off the ball or he said something?
  4. Decent effort by Keatings from MacKay cross.
  5. Penalty claim turned down. Sutherland played MacGregor in and he went down. Would have been soft. Looking more promising in the second half.
  6. Another decent save by Ridgers from the free kick. His kicking today is still making me nervous though. Ayr leading Morton now. Mackay on for Storey.
  7. How did Sutherland not tuck that in? Just needed to lift it over the ‘keeper’s leg but put it wide.
  8. Deas. Didn’t see anything and only 2 minutes into second half so maybe Harper was given time to try to run a knock off. Just before the change, Storey was giving him more cover so may well be a knock.
  9. Devine on for Harper! An injury? Deas to left back presumably.
  10. 1-1 at half time. Fast start by Alloa and they have had the better chances, with Ridgers keeping us in it. Good equaliser and we’ve had our moments but playing less offensively than we were used to under Robbo. I feel we are still trying to get to grips with the style of play McCann wants, playing it our from the back, and Alloa’s pressing means we are struggling to keep possession. According to the BBC, Alloa have had 10 attempts, 6 on target whilst we have had 3 with 2 on target. Possession has been pretty even, but most of ours has been in our half! This game can go either way. If we can keep possession better we can win this. If not, we can easily lose this. Morton and Ayr drawing just now but looks some game at Arbroath with 5 goals by half time.
  11. We are not good enough to play it out like this. Ridgers kick out straight to Cameron. Lucky escape as he blasted wide. That’s a few times Ridgers has been under pressure trying to pick out a pass. Followed by another decent save by Ridgers when Cameron in on goal. Alloa will feel they should be in front.
  12. Saved by Ridgers again. Just as we seemed to be getting on top.
  13. 1-1. Toddy! Picked out by Sutherland and well finished by Toddy.
  14. Could have been 2 down there. Ridgers did well to stop Trouten when one on one.
  15. 1 down. Cameron. No one near him when the ball was played across to him. Ridgers had no chance.
  16. Nice comments from the Alloa commentators about the last Wyness Shuffle. Heart in mouth moment there in box but Alloa player booked for a dive. Best from us the shot from Carson after good play by MacGregor but held by keeper at second attempt.
  17. Looks like 4 4 2 with MacGregor and Storey in wide midfield roles. If we are going to play it out from the back we need to pass better than we have so far. Looks like Alloa will press us like Dundee did so hopefully we can keep the ball today.
  18. Thinking about the recent formations, possibly 4 4 2 with Sutherland and Toddy up front rather than 4 2 3 1? We will see soon enough.
  19. Thanks. Just fired the stream up and all good. I never got an e-mail when I asked for a new password, so registered with a different w-mail address. Got the PayPal receipt but nothing from Alloa. Anyway, all good and here’s to three points. Interesting starting line up: Ridgers Duffy B Mckay Deas Harper Welsh Carson Sutherland MacGregor Storey Todorov Subs are C MacKay, Toshney, Devine, Vincent, Allardice, D Mackay and Keatings Devine got a knock on Tuesday so that may be why he is on the bench. Good to see MacGregor back. Toddy up front I assume with Sutherland and Storey wide. Would still like to see how Carson and Allardice pair up in the middle.
  20. Anyone tried to buy the livestream? I have had issues on the website and, whilst I have paid £12, I am not confident everything has worked. I won’t know until closer to kick off. They have changed supplier since our game with them in December.
  21. The problem is that to get money for Keatings, Raith would have needed to buy him in the transfer window. They didn’t make an offer, and he is within his rights to sign a PCA as he is a free agent in the summer. I have no idea whether he got an offer of a new contract or extension from us and it is very possible he wanted to return to the central belt. I doubt there is anything the club could have done, but equally I am sure he will be professional during the remainder of his time with us and try to make as much of an impact as he can.
  22. I can assure you, several glasses have been emptied!!
  23. A positive thought. We have a 100% record in Saturday games in 2021.
