Dunfermline -V- Inverness CT - Preview

Thick and fast

 

The games are coming thick and fast and it's another fraught weekend ahead as we travel to East End Park, Dunfermline, to take on second top 'Pars' for a 3:00pm kick-off as the league enters a crucial stage with only seven games left for the Caley Jags to determine where we finish this difficult season. April will be a tough month with games coming up against Morton (a) Queens (a) Dundee (h) Hearts (a) Ayr United (h).

This game can be streamed from Pars TV for £12 on PPV and you can find out how to do it by clicking HERE. Remember to register first then pay then click on 'watch' icon. Simples.

We play Buckie Thistle in Scottish Cup action next Tuesday 23rd March and PPV for that game can be found HERE

In midweek we had an encouraging result at Stark's Park where a Daniel Mackay goal gave temporary boss Neil McCann his first win in charge of Inverness at the sixth time of asking. Raith were reduced to ten men after ten minutes when Iain Davidson was red carded after leaving Nikolay Todorov on the turf when he challenged him from behind. Difficult to see exactly what happened on the replay but the referee was in no doubt and his card was coming out of his top pocket before Toddy hit the ground. That was Dan's 4th goal this season. That result coupled with an excellent win for Ayr United at Dens Park shows the table like this with Alloa to play Dundee on Friday night.

Oh Danny boy... 4th goal this season

We played at East End Park on the opening day of the league campaign but went down 3-1 after Todorov opened the scoring in the second minute. Captain Euan Murray levelled with his head before the interval and the Pars eased away with two goals in the final twelve minutes through Ryan Dow and a belter from Declan McManus. Up in the Highlands we came from behind to earn a point after Kyle Turner drilled a low shot behind Ridgers in the first half. The equaliser was a spectacular left footed strike by Miles Storey with twenty-five minutes left and that's how it ended.

***Latest Team News***

Miles Storey played the last half hour against Raith with Kevin McHattie leaving the bench to take up some time added on. Still missing were Aaron Doran, James Vincent and Lewis Toshney. James Keatings was a used substitute against Raith but he came off injured twelve minutes after coming on. With McCann not giving much away I'll guess that one or two are still carrying knocks and we will be along similar lines to Tuesday night with maybe Miles Storey starting.

Dunfermline have put promising midfielder Kyle Turner out on loan to Airdieonians. They have taken Craig Wighton on loan from Hearts and the big striker is relishing the challenge with three goals in three games. Another good loan signing is Scott Banks who had spells at Dundee United and Alloa Athletic. Former Caley Jags wage earner Owain Fon Williams is the current No1 at East End Park.

My boy!!!!!  

 

Credit the team. Deserved win and a great goal, then we closed the game out well.

We are now 5th, 3 points off 2nd.

Three clean sheets in a row against two of the top four.

A good time to be back on form!

After such a busy and taxing schedule, what a fabulous team effort to gain maximum points away in Fife for the second time in less than a week.

The rare goal from Dave Carson cements his already solid claim to player of the season.

Big win That and again deserved. Excellent. Superb. Bloody marvellous 😃😃

Great result, but the jobs not done. We need to maintain this level.

Well played.

Excellent. Now this is the standard me must maintain. Clean sheets first and foremost. Just have to do this against those below us now. 

Great job done today, what a difference a week makes. 

Well done to all involved. Keep up the good work everyone. 

Yes, the league table looks a bit better now doesn't it?  Still will be tough to overhaul any of those above us, but not impossible.  We're on a wee bit of a run now, so let's keep it going and see what happens.  Well done everyone.

Great 3 points.....well done

Beating the second and third placed sides away from home in the space of five days, irrespective of quality of performance, is extremely encouraging.  Onwards and upwards.
