THE Wasps were left to rue a handful of missed opportunities as they lost at East Fife yesterday.

Though a frustrating afternoon which leaves Alloa with a single point from their opening two fixtures, the result could have been different as the home side took all the points.

Here's how Jim Goodwin's side rated on the day:

Neil Parry.........................6

Made a decent save in the first half. Got a hand to the cross which led to East Fife’s goal and almost gifted them a second shortly afterwards.

Scott Taggart...................7

The full-back has started the season very well and put in another good display. One of few players who weren’t afraid to run at the defence.

Callum Crane...................6

Solid enough for the most part but is still finding his feet. The goal came down his side.

Andy Graham.................6

The captain is never afraid to put his body on the line and did all he could to keep East Fife at bay. Not much he could have done about Greg Hurst’s goal.

Daryll Meggatt...............6

Like Graham, was solid at the back. Nothing he could have done to prevent the goal.

Jon Robertson..........7 (STAR MAN)

Never stopped running all afternoon and was one of few who looked capable of changing the game.

Kevin Cawley.................6

Not at his most effective, but still a dangerous prospect. His trickery caused a few issues.

Iain Flannigan................6

Picked some nice passes but was sometimes guilty of slowing the play down when he had the chance to get the ball forward.

Craig Malcolm...............6

Denied an early goal by a great save from Ryan Goodfellow. Wasn’t able to carve out another clear-cut chance.

Garry Fleming...............6

A fairly frustrating afternoon. Plenty of endeavour but found East Fife bodies in the way every time he tried to create an opening.

Alan Cook.....................7

Was prepared to run at the defence all day and caused real problems with his pace. A surprise to see him withdrawn.

Kris Renton...................6

Forced Goodfellow into a save late on but wasn’t able to get his name on the scoresheet.
