The Fife V The Toon


Recommended Posts

Be interesting to see  what our co managers put on the pitch as our first team  since the viapay games seemed to be different mixes .Should be a decent opener to the cinch and obviously away win as dem da roolz in this one

If we're going to do anything this season, we need to get off to a good start. Not sure what to expect from our visitors, I can see them being stuffy & hard to break down, which means we'll probably struggle to do just that. I'm confident of a 1-0/2-0 home win in this one, bucking the usual 'Red Pudding derby' rules.

My take from that Peterhead outclassed us in every department. Hard to say if we are that bad or Peterhead we’re that good probably a bit of both. How any manager could watch that first 45 minutes and not change anything is totally baffling. Full marks to Peterhead very hard working and fully deserved victory. Got the rub with the first goal as everyone in the stadium seen it was a foul in the lead up to the goal with the exception of the referee. 3rd goal was some finish as good as you’ll see all season. That was a reality check if ever there was one need a big reaction next week.

First game of the season turns into a nightmare for the Fife.

Fair play to Peterhead who were up for the game, did all the basics right, took their chances and deserved to win.

As for East Fife we never seemed to be at the  races or look comfortable with the  ball, too many misplaced passes and hopeful punts, lost  most 2nd balls in the middle of the park.

The one time we looked like creating  a bit of pressure on  Peterhead they broke up the park with the sucker punch for the second, and we were not coming back from that !

They  didn't need to be classy (they weren't) they just did the basics, battled for every ball and managed to find players with a pass.

Very poor from EF today, partly down to their own doing, and also down to Peterhead taking advantage of poor defending. Don’t get me wrong, Peterhead fully deserved to win and with a bit more luck ( twice against the bar) and more composed finishing could/should have scored more. And when EF did get opportunities, good blocking along with  a safe and good goalkeeping prevented  them from scoring.

A positive result next week is a must otherwise….

All good from our perspective three good goals the third  wordly, clean sheet and well on toop most of the game. On the down side was the injury to Duthie which took an eternity for him to be carried off luckily on a trolley as one of the first aiders looked like needing treatment when not keeping up the pace. Again as we have come to expect officials were clueless. A great way to start the season hopefully a sign of things to come

During the game it was clearly obvious it was going Peterhead’s way.The manager did not change it.In the league cup substitutions happened quickly and effectively.Now we are back to dithering about and waiting until we are 2-0 down before making changes.We are also lacking a creative midfielder linking midfield to forwards.Why when Austin is ineffective not introduce the other forward on the bench .The better managed team won on the day.
