Albion must fancy their chances now?
Id like to think there will be a backlash, and we'll finally get off the mark, but excuse my lack of confidence/optimism at the moment.
Good job its a home game for the Bino's though, wouldn't want any bus related disasters in Methil following the national emergency in Brechin high street last weekend.
Full Version: Stirling V East Fife
Good chance for the Fifers to bounce back, Stirling were quite lucky to escape with a 1 goal defeat tonight.

Alloa looked a far better side than Stirling tbh
And we took four off of them!
We're so arrogant because of our start we're invading other teams threads, literally swaggering with arrogance

And we took four off of them!I actually thought Stirling looked a bit better than Alloa, both sides weren't too bad though. Stirling just had a gash keeper (and thats the opinion of the Albion fans too).

It won't be Nil if Christie is playing.

We're the wee diddy team, and without spending any questionable money, we got a win over Stirling that could have been considerably bigger. I think the differences between the two teams can be summed up thusly:
Arbroath - we knew that the second was a different kettle of whelks to the third, and so we bought one or two new players and changed our style. We also signed a couple guys during last season with an eye to bedding them in before the start of the second division.
East Fife - They didnt look THAT good in the league, but were consistent and strong. They bought lots of players solely to win the third without thinking about the second division at all. When they did get promoted, they simply went "more of the same", and that is why they fail.

Anyway, Saturday will be a tough yin, no doubt about it. I fear for our defence up against the Fife frontline. Unless Moore has the brainwave of playing them in their proper positions, and dropping Lowing and Christie. My hopes aren't high.

Oh Jesus Christ, give it a break eh?
We were not just a functional, hunt and punt, team last year. Arbroath were probably the team that we performed worst against (maybe Stenhousemuir) but look at the facts, we scored far more goals than anyone else, we conceded very, very few, coming close to breaking/equalling the 3rd division record and were miles ahead of the rest. Only Gretna ever got more 3rd division points in a season.
The players we signed last season - Steven Tweed, Dougie Cameron, Paul Stewart, Paul McManus, Bobby Linn, Chris Templeman. By what possible measure would you call them '3rd division players'?
We've been fairly dire in the last two games (after a decent win at Brechin) but it's pretty clear what the problems are and they are certainly fixable. It hasn't been the EF fans who've been trumpeting us up the loudest so most 2nd divsion fans obviously think we have a good squad so we can definitely turn this round and make an impact in this league.
Fair comment about Arbroath, they've started very well but we've all seen excellent starts turn to shit and remeber you were knocked out the CC by a 3rd division side.

I would call them signings to get you out of the third division. They were signs of short term thinking. An example of a signing for the second division was when we signed Lunan at christmas, despite him having an 8 match ban. We had him on a pre contract for next season, but we signed him early to bed him into the team and allow us to start with an integrated squad.
You didnt think like this at all. You signed a ton of players purely to make sure the third division was won, and now you are paying for it.
Oh and just because you were successful, doesnt mean you werent efficient and basic. I compared you to Chelsea and I think it still stands. Functional, dull, unspectacular, generally successful, but limited. And now you pay the price.

Cowdenbeath played like the real Brazil for a month and ended up nearly getting relegated. A few seasons before that we won the first 5 games after promotion before fading away. The promoted side can often have a great start before reality bites. But I'm sure he knew that

i don't think EF played any better when you beat us in the challenge cup, except maybe the defence was better organised. i agree your midfield looks by far the weakest part of your team, but i'd expect crawford with the experience and quality he has/had would be barking at his team mates for service. he looked bright the first ten mins of challenge cup game and thats it, really didn't look interested at any point last night. not that i think any EF player in particular is to blame, as it was just an excellent performance from brechin, but was just trying to ease a SA fans fears

We beat Forfar four times in the league last season you fucking idiot.
Without Arbroath's money, they wouldn't be in the 2nd division either. I'm sure your player don't play for free. Also, our money bought us a league championship. Still waiting on that are you?
We've also had a bigger crowd at our league game and our cup game than Arbroath, probably with less away fans at each.

That's a terrific comparison. Cowden humped us 4-0 in one of the early games playing superb football, before it all started to go pear shaped. Seeing as we're in Olympics month, Arbroath are showing all the signs of the classic 'pacemaker'.
