Fizzy Pop v Alloa

[DUAS]

I think United got around £5500 for yesterday's match .

Decent money for the part time teams such as Alloa.

Do Alloa get half the gate from yesterday? That’ll put it up to about £6k surely for them 😂

Went into yesterdays game with no expectations and enjoyed some of the play. Alloa need to get away from the long ball stuff though as when they got the ball on the ground, they did quite well and showed us a thing or 2.

As for our lads,
Siegrist, i think he is the better option than Rakovan, but he does seem to come for everything, whether he could get there or not through a sea of players. Likes a punch which is ok in my book, but hesitant when the ball should have been distributed a few times.
Wardrop, this lad has anger issues! Loved watching him and their Zanata(?) battling it out and pushing each other into the hoardings.
Bollan, I like this lad and he didnt seem too far out of place, and given his age, he did quite well with some nippy players against him.
Edje, I like him as long as he doesnt try to do too much more than clearing his lines. Though he was playing 2 positions at times yesterday with.....
Booth missing from LB most of the time. Really not taking to this lad as ive not seen him do anything to convince me he will help us out of our predicament! If Robson ever gets injured, thankfully the lad who replaced Booth, Graham(?) looks like he has a bit of a future.
Zata i am a big fan of. Has a bit of skill and dig and should have a future.
Glass, i have said there is a player in there, but the coaches need to convince him he can pass, and that he doesnt have to take on the whole opposition defence!
Appere, came to us with a bit of hype so i have to say im a bit disappointed. Did ok but im expecting more.
McMullan, Really surprised that someone who has apparently caused a fair bit of trouble to be put on the shoogly peg, was made captain for the day! Not his best yesterday, but for a little composure he should have scored a couple.
Smith, Looked to take his goal well, but maybe should have done better, but Glass could also have set him up more than twice in the second half.

My MotM was Archie Thomas. Liked him from the first time i seen him and he seems to have improved since then. He is like Zata in that he has skill and dig and can fair cover the yards with the ball at his feet. A wee bit more composure and he should have scored the winner!

good summary

agree with the keeper situation. rakovan looks alright but would like to see what benji could do in proper games
bollan looked decent, shaky at the start but grew into the game. booth i think still doesnt look match fit so dont want to judge too early but didnt look great yesterday imo. wardrop im still unsure about but certainly works hard. Zata and thomas were the standouts. both had dig both had some decent composure on the ball. hoping to see more of them in future. smith appere and mcmullan faded in and out of the game too much tbh.

overall some decent performances, good to see fyvie and king back hopefully gives us some much need squad depth.
