CrispyMelon Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) A new era starts! Unfortunately I can’t attend tomorrow so I’m making this to hear how the game goes. We’ve hit a good run of form, hopefully no game for two and a half weeks hasn’t impacted us too badly. How is the weather in Methil? Good for the game to go ahead?

Pitch will be fine, artificial and drains well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Like Elgin it's been a while since we last played, the disappointing performance at Bonnyrigg. Both teams tomorrow will be desperate for the points, will be interesting to see how Elgin react to the new management team. I have no idea how we will line up, apart from our managers' favoured 4-3-3 formation. I'm sure Trouten is suspended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Two big wins in our last three games, a new manager to be excited about and hopefully Dingwall back fully fit so plenty of positives for us. In saying that our away record is terrible so I'd be happy enough with a draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispyMelon Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 Thankfully Clyde dropped points. I know we haven’t won away in ages but I thought today would be the day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachcomber Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Enjoy your Saturday night Fife fans ! Awful conditions so fair play to the two sets of players. East Fife won the toss and played with the wind which proved to be the correct decision, the wind strengthened even more in 2nd half but by that time the game was won. Fleming denied Elgin a goal while score was 1-0, apart from that they created nothing. We have proved with three 4-0 wins recently that we can beat the teams bottom half, the manager needs to come up with a plan against the top half teams. If he can't 5th or 6th looks to be our high this season. Edited December 9, 2023 by Beachcomber 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s been a story of false hopes, yeah I get we all thrilled we won today by same score line but we can’t accept to finish that low that’s my problem and problem most at east fife have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Got to give credit to the team where due, that's the last 3 games I've been to, 4-0 v Stranraer, 4-0 v Clyde & 4-0 today. Clearly a gulf between those above us, as much as there is to us below us. Definitely made Elgin look as poor, as your Stennys and Peterheads have made us look, or they made us look good, take that whichever way you wish. I doubt we've got it in us to close the gap on 4th place, but to all the doom merchants panicking about lowland league, as long as there's Elgin, Stranraer & Clyde, we'll be fine. Well done for being so entertaining in miserable conditions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled Fifer Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Elgin were poor, very, very poor offering nothing bar 1 shot in the first half in horrible gusty conditions. The wind seemed to strengthen in the second half but Elgin could not utilise it . Dire straits up in the north methinks. The Fife on the other hand looked dangerous every time they attacked , that is until the final third. The final pass over hit, the wind holding the ball up, trying one pass too many, missing a golden chance after clever lead up play, (Shepherd) later being gifted a goal after a poor pass back from Draper. I think the score line reflects the difference in quality between the 2 teams (also the Stranraer and Clyde results) but EF need to start stringing a line of good results together to make the quality more apparent . Not one step forward and two back. as in previous weeks. PS If Pat S ever hangs up his boots, he’ll make a great permanent future co-commentator on EFTV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to accept that we may finish that low if the same pattern continues. I don't see us having much of a turnover of players in January maybe one or two. Greig McDonald seems to be safe in his job now but being too loyal to certain players has cost us this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings me back to my point of (club) being too content of things. The last time we was this low was when Moffat/Derrick brown days were apong those years where we are and it shouldn’t be but I know January a hard market to come by and we’re 6th/7th but I can’t trust the current manager to paper over more cracks how many times has he been bailed out this season even the Scottish cup defeat to Dunbar! Clyde we picked up another win and went to Bonnyrigg get beat I have seen this movie already. I’m just saying but we though a win is a win today we shouldn’t be content. Greig being too loyal I just feel the job too big also and board is showing loyal of being content but of both on and off the field will cost the club. Though good get points today football a result business it shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
