Just an observation of the East Fife bench.Would it not be a good idea to introduce some of the other substitutes into the game .Are we not trying to bring our own players through to find out if they are good enough.I noticed Stirling were able to bring on other players but we don’t seem to be able to do that

I thought it was an entertaining game yesterday.Baulde had a really good game and was a standout .We won’t win anything unless we stop losing using stupid goals.How many times have we seen football games on the television . When it comes to penalties it goes to the selected player for penalties before the game started.It’s not about a player getting a hat trick it’s about the team winning.The captain should have taken the responsibility.I also thought it was a mistake for shepherd to come off.He was doing well on his own and providing an outlet for the midfield.A small player comes on and it felt as if we only had 9 players on the park.Disagree with loan signing that have to get a game every week when it doesn’t help the team.

Signing new players before we have installed a new manager?.Signing a player and he’s not even fit .Interviews first then a new manager then sign players.

The rumour yesterday was supposedly that was an attacking formation.Two shots on target and one a penalty.The substitutions should you not take your worst two players off.Healy was playing ok as was pat.How did Trouten remain on the field for 90 mins he was way of the pace.The feeling seems to be that the board will go through the interviews and give the job to Greig McDonald.On his games in charge I would say he is not the answer.The players are already falling out with one and other.We need a good professional who has played at a good level and can attract better players in and have their respect.

Is the club looking for a manager out with the club.?Has the board made a statement since Crawford left of their plans?

I think we should do interviews for the post of manager but my feeling is the board will give the job to Greig Mcdonald.We need a manager who can attract some good experienced players mixed with our younger players.A manager that’s not bothered about telling the board what he needs to succeed.The cheapest option is not always the best option.

Scott Agnew has a business out with football.I was told that if something crops up in his business that comes first before the football at Starks Park.

What’s your point?The original poster never mentioned Ryan Wallace leaving East Fife.It’s mentioned a lot by Dumbarton fans though.

I don’t think any East Fife fans are bothered that he left.It’s more about the way Ryan Wallace behaves that’s annoying.He basically does not know how to behave in a proper manner.

At least Wallace is not falling out with his own teammates yet. I do remember his time at Airdrie some people never change.

The bookies are never that far away.Elgin are the favourites to win tomorrow .The lowest odds in the second division against East Fife.We continue to sign youngsters.

I agree with the above comments.Football managers are judged on results. I have not seen any improvement in results or performance since Mr Crawford came in.I was at Dingwall the last time we played them not that long ago and that mature squad could compete this squad doesn’t.

Some of the evidence probably comes from our results.How many games have we won under the current management.

The club should be run in a professional manner on and off the park. last season we played Falkirk and the goalkeeper gets sent off.Kevin Smith the captain on the day is substituted.At halftime Kevin Smith is out playing football with his son.Should he not have been in the dressing room offering encouragement.Would you see that happening under Dick Campbell . When a managers job becomes available is not professional to select a short list and interview them then decide.Let a candidate show he wants the job.As somebody posted earlier it’s like “East Fife bowling club”

Is it not the case that we are a millstone round the owners neck.It’s the land that is of value.If East Fife are not there then they can sell the land with out any worries about a football club.

The next question would be what’s the manager been doing?The manager the board of directors wanted without an interview (supposedly)

The above is correct ,our form is a continuation of last seasons results .Signing decent experienced players is a priority.

Kevin Smith has signed for Bonnyrigg Rose.Another ex player to score against us.

How did East Fife play last night and were their any trialists playing worth signing.

I asked if their were any signings lined up.He replied that players were still under contract at that point.I then said I hope your looking at players for the midfield.I was then told their were good players in the under 20s that could play there.My feeling at that point was we were not going to be making many signings ,but that’s only my opinion.

The point I am trying to make is we need more experienced players as well some younger ones.Not a team filled with under 20 players we don’t know will be good enough to make the step up .

With the inclusion of the under 20s in the first team will they be able to make any points?

I did hear a director say we have some great under 20s players who could play in the first team. Where did our under 20s players finish in their league ?

If we are only signing 4 more players what’s the justification in the high season ticket price.If Crawford thinks we only need 4 more players ,was he not watching last seasons football.We were terrible and his two wins out of 22 proves it.Players stepping up from the under 20s appears to be the rumour.They should have been introduced last season to see if they were good enough.Last season he brought in young inexperienced players and it did not work.

Bonnyriggs price will probably encourage people to buy tickets and get more people in there ground.I don’t see the logic in East Fifes season ticket pricing .It’s clearly not encouraging fans to buy tickets.
