Big interest in this one

3 points is all that matters here- hopefully see Gils and maybe even Gormley get starts for this one.

hard game for us but as brian said 3 points are all that matters and i think we should keep the same team that have been doing well the last couple of games. 2-0 alloa prediction prunty and noble scorers. Also can see stirling slipping up at peterhead.

would be very surpised to see any changes in the Alloa midfield/attack, likely line-up is

Crawford
McClune Townsley Walker Welsh
Brown
Carroll Grant Scott
Prunty Noble

This is presuming the Buist is not fit, if he is likely he will play in the middle and Walker at LB.

They will be no pushovers despite the season they are having, no Cowboy team will take defeat lightly. I would happily accept a scr*ppy 1-0 at this stage, might find a similar game to Arbroath a few weeks back.

Though i do think we have the potential to give them a doing, if we click into gear from the start!

I can't see Bomber starting this one. If he's having a bit of bother with his knee, and it effects him more on the artificial pitch, we'll save him for the following two games which will be more difficult.

I'm confident of a win tomorrow, and just for once I'd like to see us score more than twice.

He's big, he's round, he's worth a million pounds.....Peter Lamont.

After todays performance i wouldn't say that was 3 points lost but more 1 point gained, an absolute terrific goal to end a game of football.

I had relatives up from england at their 1st alloa game today, they left the ground happy and impressed with how we played..... imagine if we played like we can!

On a sourer note, that little sh*t that kicked the ball out the ground twice needs his head examined!

looking forward to the tuesday tie... weather permitting

I feel he should get special thanks for creating the additional time that allowed us to equalise and deny his team the chance of picking up a rare away win

How far inside the box does a foul have to occur for it to be a penalty and not a free kick outside the box?

Agree. Combination of Clyde playing well and us being off the boil. Both always likely to happen. They have signed some decent players and had nothing to lose. We had a fragile looking midfield out and tend not to play as well when we have to make the running.

I think overall we have to give Clyde credit. Kevin Welsh was well off the pace, but that is to be expected given his lay off.

The team showed great spirit to get something out of this game and keep the run going. Special mention to Crawford for two top class saves (including the penalty) and McLune for THAT GOAL on his 100th appearance.

This is a game we would have definitely lost in the last few years and probably also earlier this season. AM now has options to change things. Having guys like Brown, Bomber and Gormley on the bench shows we have a proper squad now, and IMO one which will give us an advantage in the run in.

A terriffic goal at the end from David McClune. One of the best goals at the Recs for a long time.

I thought overall we were very lucky to escape with a point as Clyde were by far the better team for an hour of the game. Once Brown Ferguson came on we applied a bit of pressure and started playing better. However for the first hour Clyde looked like the team at the top of the table.

However the pleasing thing is that we played poorly and still didn't lose. The number of late goals we have scored lately demonstraights that we are fighting right to the end of games and this is a good sign.

The referee and officials were an absolute disgrace yesterday. If someone whacks a penalty kick 10 yards over the bar , it doesn,t matter a jot if the keeper moves. To order a retake was an absolute joke. The standard of refereeing has been in the media and press over the course of the season and the performance of them yesterday only highlights as to why. However justice was done when the player missed, and perhaps if you can't score with 2 penalty kicks, Clyde blew their chance of beating us. Alloa denied a stonewaller also when Noble was tripped in the box.

Clyde have a chance still of escaping the drop as they were by far a much improved outfit since we last played them in October. Cowboy McCormack has improved them and the teams above them are hardly blazing a trail at the moment. They reminded me of us back in 2006 when were were all but relegated and had 10 points at the start of Feb. With Alan Maitland recently appointed , we escaped the certain drop via the play offs and went on a run of wins. Clyde certainly looked up for the fight yesterday and closed us down well.

Stirling dropped points yesterday also and with our showing yesterday, there is still a long way to go. Glad I witnessed Goal of the season yesterday and anyone leaving the ground early must be absolutley sick.

The ref has no choice other than to award a retake if either the keeper comes off his line or one or more defenders encroach. That's the laws. Whether the ball goes miles over the bar or not is irrelevant. I was too far away to know what happened here but I suspect that one or more Alloa defenders went into the box before the kick was taken. If so this is the completely the Alloa players' fault. In fact if I was the manager I would be furious with them as it could have cost us the game and there is nothing to be gained from them doing this.

As to the media coverage generally. Most of it is complete sh*te by people who don't know the laws and who have a story to sell. This week the coverage of the high profile case of Scott Brown's red card was ridiculous. Big game, player guilty of violent conduct, player gets red card - where's the story in that?

I must agree with most of the points on here but i do not think Clyde were the better team overall what we got was open honest football where both teams played attacking football.

Clyde will be agreeved at not holding out to the end but they were under pressure for the last 20 minutes despite having a good chance to convert the penalty. Reidford rode his luck a couple of times as Alloa struck the bar and he also made a brilliant save just before we got the equiliser reminiscent of Hoydonk and Goram but this just added more excitement to the game.

However this must be the only game of football i have been at where the fans have contributed to the demise of their team when that a**ehole of a Clyde supporter kept kicking the ball over the railway fence to try and waste time, John McCormack has openly criticised the referee questioning where the extra 5 minutes came from well i can tell you cowboy it was in the shape of a young f****y with a white and blue hoodie on. Do not blame the ref blame your own supporter.

Fantastic entertainment and a last-gasp goal that made the score just about right. AM and Cowboy swopped verbals the whole game and had to have a security man standing between them as it threatened to boil over.
We were let down badly by the midfield; Grant and Carroll weren't winning balls and gave no supply to Prunty and Noble. Punts from the back were soon in use, but chasing long balls is never going to win games. With Bomber struggling to put in a full shift now, the manager will have to look at a strong, dominant midfielder in the close season.
Felt sorry for Prunty yesterday. Got no support from the ref as he was climbed all over and kicked for his troubles by the Clyde back four. Very poor ref yesterday with many strange decisions. Pity, as the last ones we've had did OK and were renewing my faith in referees.
David McLune marked his 100th appearance with his normal reliable show, but his 30-yard screamer at the death will stay in the memory for ever. A wonderful goal.

The penalty was re-taken for Crawford coming off his line.
