Yes, but he's been diabolical since returning from injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 In 15 competitive matches against Alloa we’ve won 11, drawn 3, lost 1 and scored 40 goals and conceded 11. Surely a home win? Ah but remember Albion Rovers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 With Slatterys injury and Biereth being recalled, I may have to review my comfortable 3-0 prediction! Depending on what SK comes up with re team selection, it could be a very uncomfortable afternoon altogether..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of their players are the biggest threat to us? Because we’re rank rotten and have won once in the last four and a half months. Obviously on paper it would look like a shock but for anyone who’s seen us this season then it really wouldn’t be that surprising. Their players don’t need to be a threat to us, we are capable of doing that all by ourselves because we can’t score goals and can’t defend so they will get chances. I stand by my earlier prediction. We will draw and then get beat on penalties, just like we did in 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you just want to say we'll lose, obviously. The 'we can't score' patter just isn't true - we've scored more goals than Hearts, Kilmarnock and St Mirren - but I suppose it suits your argument.

GazzyB Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Been a fairly awful winter break for us with the split opinion of the social media stuff, the injury to Slattery and the Biereth fiasco. A comfortable routine 3-0 win and into the hat would go a long way to settling the support a little. Let's get back to the football and get the job done!

Chanzeypopz Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Can see him putting Spittal up top with Bair again for some reason then swapping him for Obika in the 2nd half. Really hope Bair continues his form from before the break and those goals have done his confidence a world of good 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how threadbare our squad is it wouldnt be the maddest thing SK has done this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
