The Prunty Factor

11 February 2010 14:47
If you get the right player, it is not just what they deliver but how others up their game that helps things along as well. Alloa manager Allan Maitland is full of praise for the impact new striker Bryan Prunty has had on the club. Maitland is not just pleased about the three goals which have been since signing from Ayr United last month but also the effect has had on fellow front man Stuart Noble. Both players were on target as the Wasps beat Cowdenbeath 2-1 to top the Second Division to leave Maitland pleased as punch. he said: "Bryan’s arrival has given everyone at the club a lift especially Stuart. They played together at Airdrie and have gelled together again really quickly. Stuart has responded with his best form of the season." Maitland knows the title race is not over and  fully expects the Blue Brazil to hit back. He said: "I do not believe that Cowdenbeath are on the slide, they have good players and will be back to winning games again soon. What we have done by beating them is to put pressure on Stirling to win their games in hand." Central Park boss Danny Lennon is looking forward to having absent central defender Joe Mbu available again when he said:  "I think it is pretty evident in our last three games that we have missed Joe’s presence and leadership qualities at the back."
