Every team in Scotland has at least one home clean sheet. Bar one. Guess who?

Excellent 1-0 Fife it is then, just to keep that run going!

Is the food stall boycott continuing for this game?  I hadn't twigged it was in place for the previous home match but it is a good way to protest.  It gives NLC a financial hit and is non-aggressive payback to them for the cowardly statement made on 3 March.  If the club can arrange for the unsold stock to be delivered to the desk of Des Murray on Monday morning then so much the better.

 

As for the game, not particularly optimistic in spite of East Fife's poor away form.  One win in the calendar year of 2022 is a pathetic stat.

Clyde are all but safe, I can’t see ourselves or Dumbarton overcoming the gap even if we win here.

We need to pick up something to keep the pressure on Dumbarton and Peterhead. We have a bit of form, but we have a few defensive injuries so could be a makeshift back line.

Wouldn't exactly say we're playing particularly well, but Clyde are definitely the team more in control of the game and richly deserved a goal from that wee five minute spell they had. It looked from the stream as though McAllister's effort was some way over the line, based on its trajectory off the bar, so I'd be keen to see that one again. Splaine's been the best player on the park and, if we were the sort of club which showed any foresight, we'd already be doing our utmost to tie him down for next season and beyond.

That was remarkably straight-forward; I'm struggling to remember as comfortable a win since we got promoted. Other than an early chance gifted to them by an awful JBH kick-out and a wee bit of pressure after the opening goal, East Fife looked every bit a relegated side. We scored goals at times when we were on top, kept that elusive home clean sheet and also enjoyed watching Dumbarton/Peterhead lose again. You would have to say we're safe now, which is a tremendous achievement given the squad of players we assembled last summer. The way that Danny Lennon has responded since the cup game has shown his class.

Strangely, given that we were so comfortable, there were a few players who will feel they should have played better. Certainly in possession. On the positives, that's the best Ally Love has played all season and Splaine is performing at an outstanding level now; he was a cut above anyone else on the pitch. Jamieson's overall game needs a lot of work, but he is absolutely deadly in the box. We are also a lot more stable with Docherty back in the team, even if it's just because he keeps Livingstone in check.

Hopefully we can start planning in earnest for next season now.
