Remember and wrap up Bears, meant to be Baltic today! ??

[Dutchy 1,200]

This narrowing of the pitch pish has got me all screwed up and I can't make my mind up if it will be to our advantage, or go against us. You've got to think that a team that love playing 'park the bus' football would get the benefit, but there'll also be less space for them to break.

Could end up another 0-0, I just can't decide, so I won't bet on the game.

[BlueBeard 241]

What's the weather like over that way? Heavy snow in West Lothian at the moment 

[Prso's headband 35,428]

I expect a lot more shots from outside the box today due to the pitch narrowing. I'd be pleasantly surprised and really impressed if we played our normal game and managed to score 4 or 5 on a pitch that looks like the size of a 5 a side.

[Amato 3,016]

We have the chance to go a massive 11 points clear at the top of the table today, that should put some serious pressure on the bottle merchants from the East before their late kick off today

[allgers 735]

Brechin and Cowdenbeith both have smaller pitches than Alloa and I don't remember us having any problems with them.

[Camshy 812]

Hoping to see O'Halloran starting this one and also keeping my fingers crossed Ball is in defence and no where near the midfield.

I would go with Wes                               Tav Ball ( Rob if fit ) Wilson Wallace.                                                    Halliday Holt Law.                              OH Waggy Mckay

I dont think the pitch is wide enough for your 8-3 formation without a keeper...?

Got Wes in there with our 4-3-3 formation, right at the start unless my eyes deceive me !!

On the phone so it's messing with the spacing !!

[Vanoli 4,625]

It's that time of year again. Any win and I'll be happy. Lets tick this off and only 12 more to go. 

Expecting a tough game in all honesty, they've brought their pitch in 10 fucking yards and they've got a new manager. No excuses though. Three points. Hopefully Waghorn can get one today as well.

Livingston away for Hibs, hopefully a tough one for them.

[Zulu 981]

Might be lucky if this goes ahead

[Creampuff 22,628]

They're shite. We shouldn't be contemplating this game being anything over than a comfortable win. 

Rangers and Hibs will both win comfortably this weekend. Another match day ticked off with the lead intact.

[ger4life_1872 29,460]

4-0 win today , hopefully ohalloran gets a decent run out and get a goal too help him settle in

[Dunny_01 2,007]

snow nutz up here!

[EatDolphins 5,355]

Game won't go ahead. 

[Vanoli 4,625]

Hopefully stays on, don't want a fixture like up.

....but, but, but....all weather pitches are the way ahead!!!

[Dunny_01 2,007]

Alloa like tropical island nae danger game aff 

[allgers 735]

Yeah we don't want this to be canceled, wet is probably to our advantage, as slick as possible and a nice wet ball for the goalkeeper to spill.

Are you thinking a flying submarine with good road holding.
