Arbroath vs Alloa Athletic – Match Preview
Ladbrokes Championship – Game 12 – Season 2019 / 2020
Saturday 2nd November 2019, Gayfield Park, Arbroath, 3.00pm kick off
The Lichties return to Gayfield Park tomorrow after two tough games on the road as we welcome Peter Grant’s Alloa Athletic for our 12th Championship game of the season.
Alloa went down 3-0 to Dundee on Tuesday but come off the back of draws against Queen of the South and Inverness Caledonian Thistle and a win over Dundee United.
There has been 3 changes in the Alloa squad since we last played them with talented winger Andy Stirling moving to Stranraer and young goalkeeper Andrew Wilson joining Pershill on loan whilst Jamie MacDonald arrives on an emergency loan from Kilmarnock to deputise for the injured Neil Parry.
This morning Robert Wilson joined Musselburgh Athletic on loan until January whilst Gavin Swankie continues his return from his hernia operation and should be available for selection very soon.
Scott Stewart is likely to return for the Lichties after being rested on Tuesday night after playing two games in quick succession after being out for a few months.
It will be another extremely game for the Lichties, but we hope to have your support behind us from kick off.
