Yesterdays game verified my thread above. Very sound at the back. They had some decent midfield play but final ball and poor decision making meant a hard day for McShane. Think they suffered from Cook and McAleer not being on song. Naysmith is doing the right thing, making Fife hard to beat first and foremost. They can work on the forward play as they have good players.

Have to agree that Hibs looked very poor. East Fife were well organised and against lesser teams will create more too. Seems a strong defence with Moyes and Campbell complimenting each other well and 2 very capable full backs in Mullen and Smith. Kevin Smith is a very skillful player and with better final ball will be a standout in Div 2 the midfield options look good with Walker, Cook, Brown, Barr Beaton and McAleer, who was injured, but believe was excellent against Forfar. Hope I am wrong but although strong forwards for the division in McShane/Austin and Campbell they may be lacking in goal scoring department. Interesting to see Naysmith play himself at Centre Back when he came on, I would assume as they have no other real cover there, other than Smith moving in and GN moving to LB. All in all an interesting match but East Fife did much better than against Hearts. I predict they will be challenging to win the league but certainly would expect play off spot. Div. 2 looks like being a very good league this year.

As I said earlier you really don't know very much do you?

You really don't know very much do you? Ask Paul Sheerin - his radar was beeping loudly
