Arbroath boss Dick Campbell is looking for some home comfort when his side face Alloa at Gayfield this afternoon.
The Red Lichties’ remarkable away form continued last week when they thumped Stranraer 6-2 at Stair Park.
That win followed hot on the heels of a 5-0 victory over Forfar at Station Park with Arbroath now sitting second top of the League 1 table.
However, Campbell is still irked by the fact his team have lost twice at home in the league already this season and he is demanding his players address that failing against the Wasps today.
He said: “We have won the last two games so I don’t see there being any changes at all against Alloa.
“We are looking good and doing well but we will not be getting in front of ourselves.
“The spirit in the team is high but the incredible thing for me is that we didn’t have Steven Doris and in the last two games while Gavin Swankie only came on as a late sub against Stranraer.
“But other lads like Ryan McCord have stepped up with five goals in two games which is a magnificent return from him.
“Ryan is a quality player and we are using him in an advanced position at the moment which seems to suit him.
“Most importantly, we need to ensure we play the same way at home as we are doing on the road.
“We have lost two games at Gayfield this season and that annoys us.
“We know Alloa will be a tough proposition but we are determined to get back to winning ways on our home patch.”
The man with more comebacks that Frank Sinatra, 45-year-old goalie Rab Douglas, answered Campbell’s SOS call last week and came straight from a holiday in Turkey to sit on the bench against Stranraer.
And the manager revealed the keeper will be a sub again for today’s game.
Campbell added: “Ricky Gomes is still out so big Rab will be on the bench again.
“Josh Skelly and Steven Doris are also still injured but they should be back after the international break.”
