away to Alloa on league duty Saturday on the back of 2 league wins against Queen of the south and Partick Thistle.
I would like to see us going for it attacking line up same as last week starting 11.
Im not sure if we have any injuries or players suspended apart from Stanton Fyvie King.

Rakovan
frans
Murdoch
watson
robson
barton
rabbit
aird
safranko
loemba
curran

think that will be about right Bowers. Big game tomorrow, have to keep the momentum going

Beharder · 31/8/2018 9:28 pm

If Clarks fit he will play before Curran.
Same with Booth he has to be better than Robson.

Tek · 31/8/2018 9:44 pm

I think the team that beat Thistle well last week deserve to start again tomorrow.

Hopefully Clark is back for the bench at least (maybe even Fyvie?).

bowers · 31/8/2018 9:54 pm

its very very early into the season and we shouldn't be rushing anyone back from injury imo.
Yes Clark before Curran for me however if he isn't fully fit then sit out.

Curran added a rare option position wise. You couldn't call our formation anything as we know it as he was defending, in the mid and up front v PT. I want us to play interchangeable formations that attack and work for each part of play.

Agree Nicky Clark is afore him as a striker but think we might be less predictable formation wise this season with the players we have and the shitey lessons we should learn from.

We want change and a clearout and have it whether more come in or not. We want to be less predictable now and with a plan C or D never mind just A. Eftir failures we need change ahead of changes too. I will be dissapointed if we don't bring in mair. Would have been happy with Swanson but happier with another muckle midfielder that's fresh to the club and cause.
If nae mair come in tonight I expect someone after the window closes for sure.

Clark for me too. Harsh on Curran but in this type of game you need your most clincal finisher since it may come down to one chance if they get men behind the ball.

kdyteejay · 01/9/2018 9:33 am

Curran was very good defensively last week so I wouldn't be too disappointed if he starts. It's also a plastic pitch so don't know if that's the best surface for Clark to comeback to.

Agreed, also wouldn't risk Fyvie on a plastic pitch.

Beharder · 01/9/2018 10:24 am

Plastic pitches are an absolute disgrace. Ban the whole fu##ing lot of then immediately.
They are suitable for training only.
Dodgy bounces rubber pellets no metal studs its not football

Some studies in the US indicate that the rubber pellets may be responsible for incidences of cancer, with goalkeepers especially affected.

Generally, we should be allowed to pay fake money to watch games on fake grass.

RRDH · 01/9/2018 3:27 pm

Gash so far apparently. Pitch not helping

RRDH · 01/9/2018 3:46 pm

Barton can fk off here eh

RRDH · 01/9/2018 4:20 pm

So disheartening after last week, really thought we might kick on. Be lucky to get out with a point.

RRDH · 01/9/2018 4:23 pm

Loemba has had that coming for a couple of week.

RRDH · 01/9/2018 4:27 pm

Yaaaasssssss fucking come on!!!!

RRDH · 01/9/2018 4:50 pm

Shit.

RogerTheAlien · 01/9/2018 4:51 pm

Pretty shite.

He should never of taken Curran off for a defender.

Beharder · 01/9/2018 7:22 pm

The draw was a fair result. We're poor on every pitch but that reduced width plastic makes for brutal football.
excellent free kick goal for the wasps.
Watson scored and missed 2 other decent headed chances. Loembas offsode goal eas a close call.

annanarab · 01/9/2018 7:29 pm

If Alloa has a bit more quality up top we could have had a 2 or 3 goal defeat. We were not flattered by this score-line

He put Booth into the area Curran was in
Booth created a clear chance for Safranko which is argubly more than Curran did in his 80m

Booth actually did ok. Curran was taken off because he was one foul away from getting sent off. He could have put McMullan on I suppose but McMullans first and only contribution was to hit the first man with the worst corner of the day.

Declan Glass trying to be clever twice in a row and losing the ball when a simple pass would have put us through directly led to their free kick. Too many people in that team think they are clever footballers and NEVER play the simple pass

Yeah agree with this. Said to my son at the time that Glass could and should have slipped the player in with an easy pass.

Neither were offside, shocker
