iantjambo Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Final group match tomorrow. It’s not been overly impressive but anything other than defeat will see us top the group. Hopefully we can get ourselves a few goals to boost our goal difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC86 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I’d go - GK - Silva RB - Smith CB - Halkett CB - Berra LB - White RM - Walker CM - Irving CM - Cochrane LM - Zanatta ST - Keena ST - Uche 2-0 Keena & Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 East Fife are no mugs and have done well in the group. I'd happily take a repeat of the Cowdenbeath result. Get the feeling this game is made for Zanatta and/or Keena. With Hibs playing tonight we'll have an idea of what's required seeding wise and a narrow win may well be more than enough. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they flop at Elgin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) It’s a tough call this one. We failed miserably at Bayview last season against a team who don’t even play there, with Naismith and Lafferty in the side. Admittedly we upped our game when a goal down and Berra’s “winner” should never have been ruled out, but for well over an hour on that surface and in those surroundings, we were hopeless. Nothing less than 100% chasing the goal target that Hibs set tonight will be acceptable. Nae tippy tappy patient shite that turns our games into an attack v defence training session.

Gregorski Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The group is still there to be won from East Fife's perspective. Without a doubt, they will be going all out for the win and will be confident. It's imperative that they get absolutely no encouragement from ourselves. If they're still in the game after 70 minutes it'll be a nervy one for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we need these options quickly seems very quiet on transfer front no snippets but possibly just doing a good job of keeping our business under wraps.

Texia Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hopefully a relatively straight forward win to progress out the group.

I'd be starting Jake and telling him to run at them, stick him down one side, McDonald on the other, and just try and pin them back as much as possible, we have to play our best team available as the potential is there to finish 2nd and not get through at all!

What i’d be doing as manager is taking my best team available and putting on an attacking performance the shows the difference between East Fife and a top SPL team. And if the players I have signed or retained can’t beat East Fife with a few goals and dominate with a high tempo style I would have to, keeping in mind the last 7 months, tender my resignation as manager.
