CrispyMelon Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Well the closest thing we have to a derby is back! Hopefully we’ll put things right after last week’s disappointment against Clyde. Deservedly beat Dumbarton 2 weeks ago so I’ll not rule out anything. This will be a hard game, I’d like 3 points but I’d take one. Predictions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strichener Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 If we have any promotion aspirations then these are the games that we need to be bagging 3 points. 3-0 Peterhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) This Peterhead side is clearly way stronger than the one we gubbed this time last year. Plenty of ex-Elgin interest with Davie Wilson, Connor O'Keefe and Aaron Reid all at Balmoor now. A draw would do me fine tbh.

Blootoon87 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Peterhead win. Elgin are the only team I'm absolutely confident of beating, we've probably got a 95% win rate against them. 3-0 then time for a pint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Cabeza Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 4-0 to you in the Challenge cup at the start of our worst season in living memory. If you are talking about the league, you have to go back to 2011 for your last victory at Balmoor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityloon Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Absolutely horrific today I still think the board is needing some change to it now or there’s only one option from the end of this season and that’s highland league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 One of those games where you wonder what the point of spending money following Elgin is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 The length of the table between these sides & boy did it show today. Elgin this season are one of the poorest teams I’ve ever seen at this level. McAliister’s & Shanks goal from open play were very nice and the sixth was a quick footed masterclass to seal the humiliation. Peterhead are far from the finished article but the fact that they rested some of their key players after an hour shows how one sided the game was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 More deflated than angry at that today. A team of mostly youngsters who may be capable players (shown by the win against Dumbarton) but are clearly incapable of reacting well to going a goal down. In our last 3 league defeats we've conceded the opener then almost immediately conceded again. I don't think the decision to put Soapy up front and Harvey out wide helps either, the former is never a striker these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
As Easterly as it gets! Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 The writing was on the wall for Elgin within 5 minutes. They had a couple of chances a bit later in the half, but the second half was one way traffic. Peterhead are a totally different proposition this season and banging in 6 goals today will have boosted the confidence even more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy is the only player in that team capable of actually passing to one of his own players. I realise that Wright is injured but it is a sad indictment on the quality of the squad that our most effective midfielder is playing up front where he has no influence as the rest of the midfield are totally incapable of creating anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
