After the Wind

 

It's our third away game on the trot as we head for Alloa on Saturday should Storm Eowyn relent sufficiently to allow Alloa to host our League1 encounter at Recreation Park. It's scheduled for a 3:00pm kick off and is the shortest trip of the trio of away days which has given us one win at Annan and a defeat at Queen of the South so far. Nine points in the last six games for Inverness whilst Alloa have gathered seven points from their last six games.

Since Scott Kellacher was handed the reins in game 11, there has been a more positive approach to our matches which has resulted in improved performances and a more enjoyable matchday experience all round. Alas we were brought back to earth with a disappointing result in our last game of 2024, a crushing 1-4 defeat at home to Cove Rangers. We'll have to put that one down to a bad day at the office. However, we bounced back in our first game of the second half of the season in the six pointer against Dumbarton with a hard fought 2-0 win. That win over Dumbarton was a vital one and the introduction of Alfie Bavidge was a welcome one as he opened the scoring early in the first half. Charlie Gilmour slotted in the clincher in the second half to give us a cushion over the Sons and to narrow the gap on Annan to seven points. We took part in the only League1 game last weekend and came away from Annan with a resounding 3-0 win, Alfie Bavidge netting again with Keith Bray and then Billy Mckay from the spot.  It was then on to Palmerston on the Tuesday night but in a five goal encounter we went down 3-2. Alfie Bavidge notched his third goal in three games and Keith Bray added a second but goals from Adam Brooks (2) and Jordan Allan kept the points in Dumfries. Oh well, on to Alloa on Saturday...

Plenty of positives to be taken from the defeat against Queen of the South in midweek. Alfie Bavidge is on form with three from three and Keith Bray added his third League goal of the season. Luis Longstaff was a big miss at Palmerston having been injured at Annan last Saturday.

We threw away a two goal lead on our last visit to Recreation Park after Conor Sammon came on and changed the game. Danny Devine and Calum MacLeod had put us in the driving seat but goals from Sammon and Luke Donnelly earned the Wasps a point. In November a Charlie Gilmour goal was the difference between the sides at the Caledonian Stadium as the Caley Jags took the points in a 1-0 win.

Scott Kellacher talking at press/media conference:

On Luis Longstaff “ He got a real bad dead leg. He’s going to be 50-50 for the match this weekend. He was a real big loss for us the other night because he’s a big player for us.”

If he's giving nothing else away then that may be our major doubt, therefore expect us to be along similar lines to midweek against Queens. In fairness, we don't have much options available anyway given our predicament.

Alloa Athletic: W L  L  L  W 

A 2-0 win at Kelty was followed by three defeats on the trot to Montrose, Cove and Stenhousemuir (1-2, 2-0, 1-3). Highlight for Alloa would be their next game, a 3-1 win at Arbroath. They then drew 1-1 at home to Queen of the South last Saturday. Seven points from their last six League games.

Luke Donnelly is top scorer with six goals backed up by the vastly experienced Conor Sammon (5) and Luke Rankin (5)

Here's how Alloa lined up in the draw with Queen of the South last week. They have since added a couple of loan signings: Josh Gentles a striker from Rangers and Charlie Dewar a defender from Dundee United.

It will probably still be windy for the game but let’s conquer the Wasps and the weather and get three points.

Safe journey to those attending and I really hope you enjoy the game.

Just storm down there like Eowyn (the storm with the name that was never pronounced the same way twice), and blow Alloa away. You can do it. :ictscarf:

Be sure to take a kite with you. 🪁

Assuming he'll be back for next week?  Apparently he was 50/50 for this game, and it's "only" a dead leg.  I say only, but never experienced it 😂.  Would have thought it's just a worse version of cramp where once it goes away you're fine again?

Queen of the South take an early lead over Dumbarton.

Dumbarton now level :doh: and Cove three up at Stenhousemuir 😲

all HT scores

Annan v Morton kicks off at 4:00 after an hour delay for travel issues.

We are playing really nice football and dominating, but without creating many clear cut chances. Need another goal I think.

Posted

On the plus side, Dumbarton back in front and Montrose leading Annan with an early goal.

Posted

Really important we get something from this game now.  Big chance to close the gap on Annan with them now 2-0 down.

Posted

Great result well done to the team :clapping: looking forward to our home game next week.
