afca32 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Each team won one home game and one away fixture against the opposition from the 4 matches last season. I think I'd probably take a point on this occasion. Stranraer have had a tough start playing three of the favourites for the top 4 so far and I think will pull away from the current bottom two with time. It'll be interesting to see how Robbie Foster does after his dad tried desperately to get his son a move to Elgin. Will he be marked by the player involved in the longest distance transfer within Scottish football (maybe) in Kyle Girvan or his ex Huntly team mate Lyall Booth? I'm going 2-2, Dajon Golding and Jack Murray to score for City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Elgin City Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Always as tough game after the long journey down. We have had a great start to the season but like above I would be delighted with a point from this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayhole Blue Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 After Saturday’s flat display at Balmoor we need Gall back in and - if fit - Robbie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negros y blancos Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Nice to have a game again ️ this Saturday confident in our team nowadays to score. If it’s enough to win the three points I’ll be happy so it’s upto Stranraer to show what they have whatever happens I’m happy City fan ️ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyMelon Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 A long trek but we should be targeting three points imo. We’ve managed a win at Stair Park for two season running and we should be aiming to beat Stranraer as it is. And as said above, will be great if we can keep the momentum going after a short break 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue1870 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) Pretty poor game today. Elgin should have been 2 or 3 ahead by halftime. Stranraer with only 1 good shot. 2nd half we creeped more into it as elgin got worse. Then a daft foul by McIntosh out wide. Freekick in our goalie punched fresh air. Header in a gift from another set piece. We scored when robertson glanced a good header in shortly later. We'll take the point after being poor.

Yet down to second bottom of the league. Wondering whether this team isn't playing, or whether, really, the manager has run out of ideas. Cannot keep producing the ".. we're playing the well-fancied teams.." theme forever. Edited August 24 by beefybake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1993 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Disappointing to not pick up 3 points after scoring a late goal but think most of us would have settled for a point beforehand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityloon Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Probably the right result at the end of the day i felt draper got lucky with what looked like a shirt pull near the edge of the box and a good few chances from us that probably would of changed the game but poor defending from both teams to for each of the goals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1993 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Should have won that. Some poor finishing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglichanin Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 My first visit to Stair Park, and I’m glad I was able to watch a League match after the heroics v East Kilbride, which I’d had to follow on Twitter, and which had made me very happy. Elgin were the stronger of the two sides on Saturday, arguably deserving the win, and were physically the stronger with the more know-how. Stranraer were very lightweight in attack- Edgar needs to show much more desire than he did and was easily dominated, but Dunlop (Airdrie loanee) was probably the best home performer, first half especially, always looking to make things happen. The home fans were openly dreading set pieces, and how right they were, though fair play to Stranraer for not giving up and equalising late on. On this showing Elgin are set fair for a decent campaign but Stranraer might be up for another long slog. Thoroughly enjoyable visit to a lovely town and a good stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
