Seems fair, any manager coming in will have wanted something longer than just till the end of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 At Hampden last night for the women's International, I noticed a bloke in the crowd wearing an EC scarf and hat. Admirable loyalty in times of stress. Come on, which of you was it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispyMelon Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Forfar, East Fife and Clyde also losing means it unchanged at the bottom. Still got that game in hand against Forfar too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1993 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 First was never a penalty. There was more of a push in the lead up to the second which was atrocious defending all round. Picked up when we scored and if we keep ourselves in the game longer it might help but overall our defending and decision making at the back is v poor. An example is taking a throw in and throwing it halfway across the field to the centre half in front of his goal. You’d be getting on at a primary school player for doing that. Hopefully we can keep on the coat tails of Clyde and Forfar till Christmas and then pray we can get in a couple of decent players then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 That penalty is an absolute laugh. Refs at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityloon Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Dylan Lawrence has been recalled back from his loan at Forres mechanics always thought he shouldn’t of been loaned out as the times I seen him for us he gave it is all down the wing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1993 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 We will see today but for me the loan was absolutely the correct move for him. He flattered to deceive for me. All the pace in the world but rarely took a player on. Hopefully has matured a bit but hasn’t exactly set the heather on fire at Forres, although I believe he was injured for a spell. Shows how short of numbers we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispyMelon Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Brilliant performance today. Thought that was MacLeman’s best game in an Elgin shirt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Did not see that result coming. What a win! A pretty even first half where McHale kept Elgin in the game and at the other end, Elgin couldn't score. Elgin were the better team in the second half with good play from Draper to set up the first for McEwan. Can't remember Ewen's goal tbh. A great performance all round from the team, although the 50th birthday boy who chose the MotM, must have been pissed to pick Soapy as I though he was our poorest player. McHale would be my pick, but special mentions to Taylor, McLeman McEwen and Ewen. The ref was poor and card happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Elgin City Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Much much better signs. 7 points from 3 home games for Smith. Huge fortnight coming up with Forfar and Clyde visiting BB within the space of 4 days. Hopefully hitting a bit of form at the right time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno what you see in a player, although not MOM I thought Soapy had a very effective game, his ball retention is sorely missed when he doesn’t play in midfield. Good all round team performance, McEwan had his best game in a long time, McLennan was good and Draper quietly effective, Jones also held the ball up well at times and certainly helped the team going forward. MOM for me was McHale he had two great point blank saves one in each half which were crucial and given our flakey confidence might have made the difference between win and loss. Onward and upward hopefully. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Hard to fault anyone today. Defensively solid, looked threatening almost every time we went forward. Jones isn't much of a runner but his ability to win headers and holding play is something we've sorely missed. A great team performance and a deserved 3 points. Delighted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
