gordon9736 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Seeing as no-one else has started a thread, I'll start it. First visit on league business to Borough Briggs. Can Elgin get their first league win of the season, I think so. They appear to have been unlucky so far, after being well humped by East Fife on the opening, three draws and then losing by a goal against the leaders, isn't the worst start they could have had. The re-signing of Draper, to me, is good as he'll add a bit of steel to the defence. Hester's scoring and for a change, he's not been the only one and we've had two cup wins against decent teams. 2-1 home win 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon9736 Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Great result. Only weak link in the team today was McEwan, but Mailer, replacing him also made a difference. Soapy was my MotM, but Draper was worthy of it. Onwards and upwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy's Ghost Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Much needed result and well deserved over the 90 mins I thought! Not a classic but everyone put in a decent performance, worked hard and we actually managed to hold on to a lead!! Thought MOTM could have gone to a few players today but it was between Draper and Soapy for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t understand when Mailer came on he put Soapy back to sitting centre mid and we dropped deeper and deeper, surely if ever a player is a sitting midfielder it is Mailer who can’t pass or beat a player but can tackle and break up play! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy's Ghost Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Probably wanted an outlet for the defence to pass to and keep the ball instead of just punting it up the pitch? Always seems strange to drop soapy deeper but we won and didn’t concede so hard to argue too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Yeah good result and deserved I thought, although Bonnyrigg will probably feel they deserved a point. We were hanging on at 1-0 for a while though and if Bonnyrigg had scored then we would have got beat. Soapy was my Mom but you could see the influence Draper had on the defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy's Ghost Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I thought we deserved the points! I think the pessimism in the fans given our ability to throw away leads etc.. gives a slightly screwed version of what is actually happening (I’m no different btw)! We simply expect the opposition to score when the pressure is put on but realistically I think we had more clear cut opportunities to score than Bonnyrigg. Just tests the old ticker a bit more than it should!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
