Albion Rovers confident of result at East Fife after giving top sides real tests this season, says Brian Reid

Brian Reid reckons recent results show his Albion Rovers side should head to East Fife confident of picking up their first away win in League Two since August.

Rovers have held the top two sides in League Two to 1-1 draws in the past few weeks with a tie at leaders Dumbarton last month followed up by a share of the spoils at home to second place Stirling Albion at the weekend.

Now Rovers visit third-place East Fife today aiming for the win they feel they should have taken in their recent encounters with the top sides.

Reid’s men are on a good run and their boss says they head to Bayview with no fear.

He said: “We’ve got to be confident going there. We are four games unbeaten and lost one in five in the league. We shouldn’t forget the run we are on and I don’t think we are far away from turning these draws into wins.

“No team is giving us a doing, we aren’t conceding a lot of goals, but we are just not putting away the chances we are creating.

“If we can turn our dominance into goals, we will start winning games and that has to be what we focus on.

“There are lots of positives signs in terms of how we are playing.”

Midfielder Charlie Reilly netted his eighth goal in 11 games on Saturday, taking him to nine for the season, and Reid is delighted with that form.

He added: “ Charlie has done well for us and scored a lot of goals.

"It’s going well for him and I hope it continues because that’s what we need.”
