McInally sees players improve but a mistake hands victory to Fifers

No arguments: Peterhead boss Jim McInally feels lapse cost them dearly

The Blue Toon had Fleming to thank when he got up brilliantly to tip Agnew’s free-kick over the bar.

The Methil men stayed on the front foot with on-loan Hearts winger Callumn Morrison causing problems in the closing stages.

Blue Toon winger Alan Cook wants his side to take full advantage of a hectic run of games coming up.

Peterhead host Airdrieonians next Saturday before welcoming Forfar on the Tuesday and then facing Stranraer at the weekend.

With Forfar and Stranraer occupying the bottom-two places in the league, Cook reckons the games present the perfect opportunity for Peterhead to kick some clear daylight between themselves and those below them.

“We want to make the most of it against the teams we’re playing,” said Cook.

“We play Forfar and Stranraer and those are games that we either go and win and push up the league or maybe drop points and look down the league.

“So it’s up to us, the ball is in our court to go and do it.”
