THERE were a number of top performers as Alloa claimed their first league win under Peter Grant.
The Wasps vanquished Queen of the South in Dumfries, with the visitors' rearguard producing a fine display on the day.
Neil Parry..................................6
The keeper was calm, composed, and confident but barely had a save to make.
Scott Taggart...........................7
Up against it when Queen’s moved Dobbie to his side but Taggart stood up to the challenge.
Liam Dick...............................7
Involved in Alloa’s best attacking move of the first half and diligent defensively.
Andy Graham...(star man).......8
A welcome return to the starting lineup and Graham was superb. If there was a ball to be won, he was there.
Robbie Deas...........................8
The youngster put in his most impressive performance and excelled beside Graham.
Iain Flannigan........................7
His run sparked Alloa’s winner and Flannigan was full of composure on the ball and intelligence off it.
Blair Malcolm........................7
A nervy opening ten minutes transformed into excellence on his debut. Used the ball well in difficult areas to drive Alloa up the pitch.
Kevin Cawley...........................6
The quietest of Alloa’s midfield trio but Cawley worked hard off the ball for his team.
Alan Trouten...(off 60)............7
His finish through Robby McCrorie’s legs was sublime and the veteran’s movement was supreme.
Kevin O’Hara...(off 79)............7
Stretched the home side’s defence throughout his 79 minutes as he tirelessly worked the channels. Involved in some of Alloa’s finest moves.
Robert Thomson...(85).............7
His ball to Trouten was perfect and Thomson delivered on his first start for the club.
Liam Buchanan...(on 85)............5
Unlucky to see his first touch saved by McCrorie
Jon Robertson...(on 60)..............6
Solid. Dependable. Robust. A Jon Robertson performance.
Adam Brown...(on 79)...............6
Lovely ball teed up Buchanan.
