Dunfermlin­e Athletic Clearout on the cards

- John V Lloyd

One year ago, quiet assassin Allan Johnston uprooted the deadwood in midfield. In came Tom Beadling, James Craigen and James Vincent. We never looked back.

The board are currently under the bed; hands over their eyes and ears; praying the nightmare goes away. It won’t. The support might!

The strikers will be turfed out. Faissal El Bakhtaoui (league goals 0), Robbie Muirhead (0), Myles Hippolyte (1) and Aidan Connolly (1) face the indictment that our top goalscorer is left-back Jackson Longridge (3).

Dunfermlin­e, resigned to the exit of Nicky Clark and Declan Mcmanus, felt that Faissal was the prodigal son but the euphoria that generated has long dissipated.
