Away From The Numbers

All good things come to an end. Or so they say. AFTN has been around since 1989, first as a fanzine and then making the jump to a website and forum in 2003. We've been through the many ups and down at East Fife in those 12 years but policing the forum has become a giant pain in the ass in recent years. As such, we made the decision not to renew it when it expired.

The forum is no more and will remain as a locked archive until it is eventually deleted by the host. We're looking in to try to save some of the content as an archive.

This is not the end of AFTN though. The site will continue and will be revamped and return in its full glory for the start of the 2016/17 season. Maybe even sooner. There will be a comment sections and possibly even a new, registered forum. Check our Twitter (@aftnwebsite) for all the latest info and we'll also post in on the EFFC memories Facebook page.

Until then, have a last browse here, thanks for all your support over the years, and 'Mon the Fife.

Re: Could our season be salvaged by a new manager?

Too late methinks. Even when winning at the start of the season I ws not impressed with our performances in that our lack of footballing ability was sadly lacking. This late in the season and a decline in standards and confidence makes me think it would need a miracle to stop us sliding down the table.

However that said I was never in favour of Baikie in the first place and although the first half of the season seemed to disprove my doubts sadly they are now coming true.

We need someone like Mowbry to take young players and develop the skills needed to play good football. Let's face it although young they have benn in the game long enough and know what a good game is all about and just need development of their skills. The last two managers did not seem to grasp this and also they seemed to favour some players over those who maybe should be given more of a chance. This in itself demoralises a team not just those players left out.

Not having been in the hot seat myself I do not know how I would react but I would hope I would go with my convictions and even if not successful would have the satisfaction of at least some young players developing into better footballers.

Even when we were winning at the start of the season,the performances were not great.We seemed to grind out results.
Baikies team will never ever be entertaining. We have one of the best squads in the league,but it is now obvious that they are not managed correctly.

Baikies body language when he came off at half time and full time seemed to be of a Manager who is resigned to defeat.
