I’m afraid it was the other way around Beachcomber. Rovers had the 5th best defence in the league and played the entire season without a recognised striker. Charlie Reilly was the guy scoring for fun but for his goals the season would have been over by Christmas. Rovers finished the season on an agonising 39 points with a -1 GD.
Fair enough but they are certainly not giving as much away as they did earlier in the season.

Don't really see the comparison with Stranraer & Albion Rovers.
Rovers could score goals for fun but couldn't defend, its the opposite with Stranraer plus if Rovers were inexperienced, Stranraer aren't.

Never a penalty.
When we played Spartans at Ainslie Park they did the same, constant screaming for a foul at the slightest touch or tackle.

Any rumours from tonight ?

That was ***** A game we should have won considering the amount of chances we created , against a weakened Spartans side but we somehow managed to lose it. Get this season in the bin, hopefully we can mount a challenge to the top four next season.

Nothing to play for here, maybe Spartans will change their squad up a bit with an eye on Tuesday and avoid potential injuries.
Would be nice to finish the season with a victory !

That will be expensive mind!
Why ? They are all out of contract. I would offer a few deals to remain.

Do you know what I want next season?
Excitement . This forum to be buzzing with excitement. , disappointment, but hope! Last few years post Young - it’s been so bad. I am not revisiting Young( right or wrong) but we beat Dundee Utd , Thistle, Hearts and most importantly oor neighbours next door under him .
I yearn to see an Agnew, a Meggat , a Long, a Davidson, A Dowds etc- all signed by Young.
The great news the Campbells know a player ( signed Tonks at Arbroath when everyone else gave up and he repaid them)- in the Campbells we trust- exciting times next year - just can’t wait til we all argue again…..
.
Agreed. We have wasted a whole season after Greig re-signed all of the same duds. We need a complete clear out.

Good riddance we changed our manager and stayed up a few weeks ago and missing out on the play offs, just goes to show I will be wanting summer come now and next Saturday is last game of the season.
Congratulations to Clyde who won today, but as for our players they aren't good enough and shows why we've been like this all season and dick will know who's good enough to stay and who's going.
Totally agree 9 games unbeaten then 3 defeats in a row, sums up our season. We need a fresh start.

Fash is back !

Last week we were missing Austin, Easton & Lyon. The club didn't give any indication about the last two, you would assume it was minor injury. Schiavone went of injured and Walls returned from injury. Difficult to pick a line up, Dick & Co. may change things anyway, but i would go with :
-Fleming-
-Docherty-Blaney-Easton-Newton-
-Millar-McManus-
-Lyon- -Trouten- -Walls-
-Shepherd-
Would be good to see Austin return to the bench.

Every player you've mentioned there is either from Edinburgh (Watson, McNulty), the surrounding areas (Booth) or have roots in the city (Craigen). You can add Danny Denholm to that too. McNulty is also playing for his father-in-law.
Fair enough I can see why at a certain age travelling is unattractive.

Didn't but am glad to hear it. A famous auld team.
The Community club runs numerous kids teams etc, not connected to EFFC

Clyde are playing us at a good time as we have hit a poor patch after going 9 games unbeaten. I would be worried if I was a Stranraer or Bonnyrigg fan.
From a Fife point of view hopefully Dick can motivate the group but I suspect some players know they won't be around next season. I read that Fash is back in training would be great if he made the bench.

Their following is what you'd expect for a team newly promoted to the 'big' leagues and who share a city with 3 other senior clubs.
That lack of a strong following is evened out by their community work/ support though. That's the point.
East Fife not far ahead of them.
My point wasn't intended to turn into a crowd w**k, I just find it hard to understand how Spartans can attract the calibre of players they do on the crowds they Have.
Maybe you didn't know that East Fife Community Football Club is one of the biggest in Scotland.

So previously mentioned we have Fash, Docherty, Healy & Hambrook. I can see Hambrook's conract being cancelled.
I would offer deals to Fleming, Trouten, Walls. Trouten is on 11 league goals and is fit enough for another go at League 2.
As for the rest while i like Murdoch, Millar, McManus and Scotty we need a fresh start, what we've had for the last 2 seasons isn't working. In my opinion Newton isn't good enough and Easton's lack of Pace is beginning to show.

How come?
Spartans have strong roots in the community. Lots of Jambos and Hibess attend their games too.
McNulty, Craigen, Booth, Watson are out of reach financially of other League 2 teams.
Spartans have a lot of kids and great community club but lets not pretend they have a strong following. Last home league game 385.

Visited this with the bairns. Great to visit a wee traditional stadium albeit without the auld stand.
Quite an even game. Good to see Spartans in play-offs.
Why ? Another club splashing the cash with an unsustainable finance model, like we've not seen much of those lately.

Dreadful defending, half hearted attempts to stop both crosses, i think we will see new full backs next season.

Disappointing, looking forward to see how many of these Dick bins.

Only 3 wins will give us a sniff of the play-offs and that depends on Spartans slipping up. That looks unlikely.
A few changes today maybe enforced by injuries.

3 games in week (Buckie) would take its toll on any team, could be Brechins' best hope.
Fingers crossed you can make it over the line.

I wouldn't over-react due to 1 poor performance in 10. I'm sure the management know who they want to keep and today maybe helped in that choice.
