FifeSons Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The aim now has to be to get 5th. There’s a £7k prize money difference between finishing 8th and finishing 5th. I wouldn’t turn my nose up at that extra £7k. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 And so it turned out less frantic than we had long feared, so well done to everyone concerned at DFC.To be honest though, huge individual plaudits must go to Craig Barr and Dom Thomas for their contributions in helping us retain our Division One status.Time soon to pause and draw breath before considering the challenges that lie ahead, but meantime we raise a glass to our club. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I was quite tempted to pick up our kit with the sash and poppy. It doesn’t get much more staunch than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) 23 hours ago, Johnny Red said: Is there a stat for what Duffy’s performance is compared to Aitken for this season? Righty-ho. Decided to start my Sunday morning right by looking into it in detail, so here we are. Posted yesterday, but the overall record looks like this: Stevie Aitken: Played: 15. Won: 4. Drawn: 3. Lost: 8. 26.66% Win Ratio. 53.33% Loss Ratio Jim Duffy: Played: 25. Won: 9. Drawn: 7. Lost: 9. 36% Win Ratio. 36% Loss Ratio In League Games only: Aitken: P9 W2 D2 L5. 22% Win Ratio Duffy: P24 W9 D7 L8. 37.5% Win Ratio Consistency. Aitken's longest unbeaten run of league games as DFC manager: 4 (W1 D3 Jan - Feb 2017)/(W2 D2 - Nov - Dec 2017). Duffy's longest unbeaten run of league games: 7 (January - March 2019 - W4, D3) Attacking Games. Stevie Aitken this season: Played 15. Goals For: 17. Avg = 1.13 per game in all comps. This rises to 1.33 only including league games (12/9). Jim Duffy. Played 25. Goals For: 45. Avg = 1.8 per games in all comps. This rises to 1.88 only including league games (45/24). Firing Blanks. Dumbarton failed to score in 4 of Stevie Aitken's 15 games. 26.66% Dumbarton failed to score in 6 of Jim Duffy's 25 games. 24% Margin of victory. Stevie Aitken - Win by one clear goal: 3 (75% of victories). Win by two clear goals: 1 (25% of victories). Win by >2 clear goals: 0. (0% of victories). Jim Duffy -Win by one clear goal: 3 (33% of victories). Win by two clear goals: 2 (22% of victories). Win by >2 clear goals: 4 (44% of victories). And here's a bit of a belter of a stat to finish things off. It's slightly unfair given how many of Aitken's games were in a higher league, but we'll go for it anyway. Number of wins by more than one goal across his tenure (league games only). Stevie Aitken 117 League Games in charge: 7 (5.98%). Alloa Athletic (0-2/3-1), Queen of the South (4-2), Raith Rovers (1-3/4-0), Brechin City (1-3), East Fife (0-2). Of those teams only Queen of the South and East Fife wouldn't end the season in the bottom two of the division. Jim Duffy 24 League Games in charge: 6 (25%). East Fife (4-0), Brechin City (4-1), Stranraer (0-3), Arbroath (2-0), Montrose (1-3), East Fife (3-0). None of those teams have been relegated, and only Brechin are in danger. Arbroath are Champions, Montrose are in the playoffs and East Fife have spent near enough the whole season in the top half.

I wouldn’t turn my nose up at that extra £7k. Does this graphic show the % as it's part of the total league payout? ie, League 1 gets 3.12% of the full budget? Shocking statistic really 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuggfifer Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Absolutely. Every penny counts right now.£716, 000 total for a league of 10 teams for a whole year! There are overpaid Prima Donas in the EPL getting that for a week. Folk wonder why our game is deteriorating! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation from the Championship has cost us over £100k in 'prize money' alone, and that's not even including the factor of smaller crowds in League 1, drop in season tickets, hospitality etc. Could even be double that figure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Anyway, now that the threat of relegation has wafted into the distance, just what is the scoop on Ross Perry - is he really Nicky Phinn's stepbrother ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit me today that Ross Perry has played fewer games for us this season than Craig Barr. I can only assume that we're using the space from getting rid of the old kit to store him, Michael Paton and Willie Dyer until their contracts run out. Dyer went missing after turning his back on a shot that ended up going in. Paton went missing after dangling a leg in a 50/50 in a vital game...Maybe Jim is just totally ruthless. To be fair to Perry, he didn't ever let us down. I actually have a bit of a soft spot for the big guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Did he just use his 60th as a means to give the board (and the fans) a prod re next season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 That’s a classy article from Jim, and nice to see him paying tribute to both the directors and the fans. It’s true that he’s not had any doubters screaming at him at games, the fans and players really trust him and bought into his ideas, and nobody can question the job he’s done since the turn of the year.I’d still not be surprised to see him moving on at the end of the season, but he certainly seems to have enjoyed his time with us - and that’s nice to read.Hopefully he celebrates his 60th by dressing up in his first touchline attire... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 That reads to me like it's no certainty he'll be our gaffer next season. Sounds like he wants to know if we want to go up or if finishing mid-table is fine again. I suspect he's looking at potentially 3 or 4 full-time/hybrid squads in this league if Alloa and Montrose or Forfar make themselves Championship sides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
