East Fife v Elgin City


Recommended Posts

Great to get a home win and keep on the coat tails of the top two. The plus sides were firstly that we competed well against some brutal treatment after how we were bullied at home by Bonnyrigg. Secondly, during the five minutes we played some decent football we got the winner. 
Apart from that our tactic seemed to be to bore Elgin to death. Whenever Elgin decided to chase our defence a bit the sphincter muscles tightened. Our central defence has been getting steadier by the game but yesterday struggled so badly against one up front. 
Just wish we had seen some sign of plan B at the start of the second half but we got there.

How many games is that City have had a man sent of this season?

If it is a good few it’s no great secret in that the manner in which Elgin’s tackles were going in was nothing short of brutal at times and yesterday could and possibly should have seen you guys down to 8 players at one point. Before it’s pointed out by someone, yes we could well have seen our goalkeeper sent off too. Extremely poor refereeing for both sides.

Having watched the highlights, Elgin must be extremely disappointed they didn’t win or at least take something from the game. 

It wasn't a good performance. Defence was very poor in terms of not adjusting to stop Hester. We had lots of the ball but did next to nothing with it and won the game with a set piece and a penalty.

Seems like every other game! :lol:

It's still a quarter of their games so it's definitely something they're going to need to cut out. Their lack of discipline has likely cost them points up to now and will continue to.

I hate it when we have to rely on set pieces and penalties to win games we dominate possession.
