WeAreElgin Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Not sure where I heard it but I’m sure at the start of the season there was something about Mchale wanting to return south for employment reasons but could not get out of his contract obligations with Elgin?Hopefully that was a load of shite, no offense [emoji38]https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/elgin-fc/1815558/mchale-driven-by-south-coast-success-in-elgin-bid-for-glory/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland ITFC Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thanks groundhopper & marco. Doesn't look from those highlights that it was one of Elgin's better performances going forward, so a decent away point not a bad reward 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underpar Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Greetings folks . Hows Sparky playing for youse ? He's a player i would have been happy to see stay with us . Take it easy on Tuesday night for i fear a hiding a coming . Got this feeling a 4 nil win for Elgin on the cards , much is the doom and gloom surrounding Brechins football fortunes these days . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he got bullied in the first half against Cowdenbeast with their physical play but he scored with a cracker of a header in the second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland ITFC Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I'd say an improvement defensively on Lowdon, but would like to see him offering more going forward. Rarely overlaps & doesn't put in a great deal of crosses. Not sure if he'll be fit for tomorrow's game though as apparently struggling with sore ribs that saw him come off on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgin proud Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 he can defend and that will do for me. I do not agree he was bullied v cowdenbeath looks strong to me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 A good solid defending left back is what we needed and Spark is better than we had. There is enough flair going forward to allow him to defend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Elgin City Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Another goalfest last night at Brechin. We are conceding a lot of goals but what about that Kane and Shane partnership? 15 goals between them in 9 games.Long may that continue[emoji834][emoji833][emoji834][emoji833] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are conceding a lot of goals but what about that Kane and Shane partnership? 15 goals between them in 9 games. Long may that continue Yes, the goals continue to flow.......27 shots last night according to the match stats on BBC. Kane looking increasingly confident & his hat-trick was an appropriate riposte to Brechin apparently having turned down the opportunity to sign him. Shane oddly had a bit of an off-night, missing a number of chances that you'd usually have expected him to bury, & slipping & sliding / falling over on a few occasions. In general the side isn't conceding a lot of goals this season, but there's definitely a defensive horror show in there every few games, like the 3 in 5 minutes in the pre-season friendly against Clach, & then last night's poor defending against set pieces last night, with three goals conceded from corners & one from a free-kick. That's very much something that can be tightened up, so hopefully won't be repeated, as better sides than Brechin will punish Elgin if not, & can't rely on always scoring one more than the goals conceded. There will definitely be a lot better defences faced this season than Brechin's! Other bright spots last night were the continued good form of Dingwall & MacEwan in midfield, & Daniel Mackay starting to offer a few flashes of what he can bring, including an excellent goal, & a bright cameo off the bench from Aiden Sopel. And other than the goals conceded, disappointing to see so much long ball being pumped up the park, rather than playing out from the back & through midfield, which when it did happen last night produced all the best football, creating the space to play & to exploit the pace & ability higher up the pitch. Hopefully they'll get back to playing more football rather than hoofball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
