I would expect us to line up 4-2-3-1 The club preview states Pagey will be fit, not sure who will fill the 5 midfield places, subs have been making an impact recently and i can't say i was too impressed with Hamilton last week.

Yeah it's like 360p on Virgin

Yeah it's about as realistic as Clyde FC getting a ground of their own.

You may have a point !

The goals we conceded were very poor defending. Obviously Easton stumbles for the 2nd but for the 1st goal Hamilton is with Grey, who drifts off him and leaves Hamilton ball watching, good finish but definitely avoidable. Have to be sharper next week.

First of all credit to the players from both sides for making it such an entertaining game in awful conditions. Onto the game, said to a mate the coin toss would be important, so was surprised to see East FIfe kick off with the wind. Dumbarton won and opted to face the elements, was this a Faz masterplan ? East Fife started on fire Fash tapped in after 4 mins and could/should have been 3-0 up in 15 mins, Dumbarton looked lost but to their credit they worked into the game and Finlay Gray ought to have scored. He did score early in 2nd half, a very well taken effort then Easton slipped letting in Hilton to sweep the ball home. Easton made amends with a free header from a corner. Dick made some midfield changes and Fash rose like a salmon to head home a Healy cross. Got to question the goal keeper, he seemed to lose his bearings. Big shout out to Jacob Blaney who made his debut coming on for Page and performed well in the circumstances. Big win for East Fife, after some recent home draws it looked like another but credit to the players for fighting to the end. Onto Peterhead next week.

You got the lottery numbers by any chance ?

The Fifers' v The Sons' meet tomorrow at Bayview. With the wind from the east and nothing between the stadium and Denmark, rap up well as its going to be chilly ! 9 points separate the teams for the coveted 4th play-off spot and with 9 games left East Fife have to win to stand a chance of catching Dumbarton. Dick Campbell will stick with his 4-2-3-1 formation and should name the same starting 11 as last week. -Fleming- -Murdoch-Page-Easton-Newton- -McManus-Walls- -Shepherd-Trouten-Hamilton- -Austin-

No

If we have any notions of catching Dumbarton we have to win. Our home form has been patchy last few months with too many draws but the players' confidence has to be high after going 4 unbeaten.

Faz must stay, until Saturday anyway

I think you boys will catch Stranraer and/or Bonnyrigg who cant buy a goal or win atm. They are both playing mid-week v top 4 sides at home, if they loose the writing is on the wall.

Excellent, well done the players & management.

I take your point. There's a difference in turning out in a position because of injury etc and being effective and improving the team as a whole. He is far more effective on the right.

He can't play in the middle. He's a decent attacking right back or a right midfield.

Edinburgh City council own Ainslie Park ?

Forfar the better team in the 1st half. Fleming made a good stop with his feet and the goal came from a good Brindley cross which Allan got on the end. East Fife never got going in the 1st period but I suspect they got the proverbial rocket at half time as we were superior in the 2nd and with a bit more luck could have grabbed all 3 points. Draw was probably fair result, can't give teams a half start and expect to win.

East Fife welcome Forfar to Bayview tomorrow. After a good win at Bonnyrigg last Saturday dare we start to look up the table rather than below ? Mid table League 2 is very tight with 3 points covering 5 teams so both teams have plenty of motivation. I would expect to see us continue with 4-2-3-1 : -Fleming- -Murdoch-Page-Easton-Newton- -McManus- -Millar- -Lyon- -Trouten- -Healy- -Austin-

Who is the money man/ woman at Spartans ?

New goal keeping coach ?

Looks like a 4-2-3-1 with Millar & McManus the sitting midfielders. I think Admin updated the graphic and Shepherd on bench.

The draw was the correct result. We dominated the 1st half possession wise and deservedly equalised while Stenny were better in the 2nd and seemed much fitter than us as the game came to a close. Much more heart and fight in the team today and was interesting to see Paul Thomson in the dug-out. Presumably he stayed on for an extra game to help the new team out which is to his credit. Two weak links today were Schiavone & Shepherd who both contributed very little. Shout out to the referee who was awful for both teams and the stand-side linesman who was clueless.

The appointment of Dick Campbell and his team should give this game a lot more interest than was anticipated. A few East Fife fans have spotted our new manager at our home games recently, and that hes had a few training sessions with the players i doubt he will make wholesale changes between the names Fleming & Austin ! The heart says if we can get the first goal it could be a good afternoon for us, the head says Stenhousemuir victorius.
