I agree, we need more of this stuff from East Fife. Repeats of yesterday's performance will bring the fans flooding back to New Bayview. Incidentally and surprisingly, Craig Gunn of Elgin City is top scorer in our league at present, however most of his goals are from set pieces and penalties so Fash will catch up there on yesterday's form. You mention Naismith possibly looking at Smart Osadolor from Annan. Personally the man you would want from Annan is Rabin Omar. He is a very fast midfielder/forward in the same mould as East Stirlingshire's No 3. He is the man who has really shone in every game for Annan this season . Smart ain't half bad either though, but no chance of him playing at Bayview, he is based in Carlisle. Anyway he's too much like Fash.

Today's team looks very good on paper, I feel a goal-fest coming on.





Hope you put money on that???


No I didn't because I had same feeling at Arbroath last week and in the end we just scraped a point.
Anyway great result today - maybe it will start us off on a wee run? (But no money going on that either!

I tend to avoid comments on players who have the number 3 on their back, as I may be accused of being bias, one way or another. However if I was to pick a player out from the East STirling team it would have been Nathan Shepherd, their number 3. Great pace, defended well, got forward at every opportunity, and has a great shot in him. But for a fantastic save by our goalie he would have hit the back of the net " alla Billy McPhee", and I can't pay him a bigger compliment than that. Mr McGarr also picked him out as the outstanding player for the opposition. Maybe a natural successor to Gary?

As for Annan players, I'm sure they would bring something to the table as you guys have seen them much more than me. However as someone else has already pointed out, travelling to play in Fife could be an issue. I remember when I left The Fife for Dumbarton I was the only player from the East, and travelled back and forward to training and match days on my own. A nightmare, and it showed in my performances for them. Scout locally and you might just be surprised with what's already on you doorstep. Fash springs to mind and he's done o.k. so far.

Elgin away will be a hard game I be happy with a draw as they have not lost a game there yet so a draw would be good as long as we get in the play offs I be happy

After last week's game it must be onwards and upwards for the Fife. If Craig Gunn can be kept in check and we avoid penalties and set pieces (again Gunn is the risk with these) we have a great chance of a win, if we play to our strengths. Let's face it, Fash has returned to scoring mode and as I recollect last year he scored 3 or 4 at Elgin.

On the back of Saturdays game I wouldn't be trekking to Elgin to settle for a draw, same fight, passion and 3points nothing less please😊

Here Here.
I won't make it unfortunately but.
Mon the Fife.
2-1 to East Fife I reckon.
😀

Elgin 1 east Fife 1 I say Craig gun and page
