the visiting fans were wondering what they needed to do to get a breakthrough.

It was just another of the five or six decent chances that the Staggies had failed to convert.

Both sides made substitutions to freshen up their sides, with Alloa changing their strike force of Spence and Trouten and the visitors replacing Mcmanus and Watson.

It was the visitors who got the goal that they had richly deserved when, in the closing minute of the game, from a Josh Mullin cross, Keith Watson outjumped the tired Alloa defence and nodded home past Neil Parry to take the three points.

The home side had given their all, defending the point they were hopeful of getting from the match.

After the game, Wasps manager Jim Goodwin was disappointed with the outcome of the match.

He said: “We have no arguments with the result.

“Ross County were a better side than we were on the day.

“Neil Parry, along with the back four, were outstanding and kept us in the game, but County were worthy of their victory.”

Greig Spence missed Alloa’s best chance of the match when he was a yard short of pace to knock home from close range.

TWEET TALK Heartbreaking for the Wasps who’d soaked up so much pressure.
