fifer67 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Welcome back was pretty decent first time around manager certainly getting the backing of the board with all the new signings in the last couple of weeks. Hopefully he can get a settled team and formula and turn things around . Apart from left back we have got options when everyone is fit. Onwards and upwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we can add a goalkeeper, a creative midfielder, a winger and a goal scoring striker to that list? Certainly another midfielder like Kieran wasn’t a priority in my opinion. Massive game this Saturday and will be going along with hope rather than expectation. Darren Young is on a shoogly peg and it looks like to me that he’s lost his players. Let’s hope also that he gives them a lot more encouragement from the sidelines rather than the statuesque management we have witnessed recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire your optimism which I feel is slightly misplaced. We’ve needed a left back since Naysmith left us, however this season we have even bigger problems.I don’t know where the goals are coming to come from and if Connell is out, then apart from Smith we don’t really have anyone else who can get around 10+ goals (such as Agnew). I don’t get the Millar signing as we have players who can play in that role in Murdoch, Davidson and Slattery. The squad is a bit disjointed and it feels we have the scattergun out with the transfers we are making. Saturday is already a must win game, just to give everyone a bit of confidence. A defeat and we really are in the shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfifer48 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 How many more players are we intending to recruit? If we keep going we will have as many players as fans. We have 3 goalkeepers so why the call for another one. How many more midfielders I've lost count.? Perhaps one striker if Wallace has quit. But would think we have a decent pool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not entirely sure that one thing reflects the other. The manager will have been given a player budget at the start of the season then after that it is up to him how he spends it in relation to player wages, transfer fees and signing on fees. This was said a lot last season in relation to the "big money" signing Danny Swanson, but it looked to me that the manger paid a big wage to one player rather than smaller wages to two or three players. This was reflected in the strength and depth of the squad during the first half of last season where the manager only used 51% of his available subs compared to 82% in the second half after all the loan signings came in. The lateness of these signings this season is probably more of a reflection on how difficult it is to attract players to East Fife as well as the McGuigan and Wallace situations. I would be amazed if the playing budget this season was bigger or even the same as last seasons after a season without fans (the clubs main source income). If the board do want to back the manager then it would probably be helpful to highlight any constraints the manager might be under compared to last season to temper any unrealistic expectations. Stability was the key word used on Darren Young's contact extension announcement, but while East Fife are looking for stability and other clubs are improving their quality then stability turns to regression in the short-term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 We appear to have gone for a quantity, over quality approach in the transfer market. Whether that's down to being priced out, budget constraints, leaving things too late, or a new managerial strategy who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, if somebody had only seen the first half and had heard a 3-0scoreline they would have assumed for Peterhead. With only Kev up front first half we did not look like scoring but the introduction of Denholm swung the game around a bit. The referee was in keeping with all the others at this level- atrocious although he did give us what I would say was a dubious penalty. Maybe a bit unfair to say but the injury to Chris Higgins was possibly a blessing in that Daniel Higgins played well. We even managed to deal with several corners and numerous free kicks into the penalty area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
