East Fife pick up a 'good' point away to Alloa Athletic in league opener
East Fife opened their Scottish League One season up with a “good” point on the road at Alloa Athletic last Saturday afternoon.
Dick Campbell’s side drew 0-0 at the Indodrill with a solid defensive display earning a clean sheet and something to take back to Bayview.
And the gaffer was pleased with the result and the togetherness shown by his players against Andy Graham’s team, who made the play-off final last season and narrowly missed out on promotion to Stenhousemuir.
Speaking to East Fife TV after the bore draw, he said: "It’s another game for us against so-called higher opposition.
"We battled hard again and we looked as if we were a team with a great spirit in the camp.
"We defended resolutely. But we didn’t really create or have any goalscoring opportunities. Our goalkeeper made three world-class saves.
"Alloa didn’t really put us under any proper danger, and I thought that a draw was a fair result.
"For us, it is a good result to come and here and get a point. It keeps our run going.”
Campbell added: "Things are going along nicely and I am reasonably happy with how things are going.
"But we need to get more creativity in the team. I’m always looking to get better players in. We’ve identified one or two. It’s difficult but we have a lot of respect in the game.”
East Fife now welcome Cove Rangers to Bayview this Saturday for a 3pm kick-off.
