Strathspey Thistle 2-0 Formartine United

4-4-2
GK: Robertson
D: Kennedy, Campbell, Francis, Bennett
M: Brady, S. Noble, Brown, McGowan
ST: Gordon, Murray

Goals: Graham own goal (6), Brown (73)

We're back on the winning track, with another very good performance defensively and a timely goal or two. I would still rather see us control the ball more--we had only 47% of the possession tonight--but we outshot them (8-6) and, most importantly, we kept them off the scoresheet.

The own goal was the result of a hard drive by Craig Gordon that banged off the crossbar, hit the goalkeeper in the back, and bounced into the net behind him. Again, it would have been nice to see Craig get credit for it, but that's football.

Colin Brown slotted home the other goal, his first for Strathie. It's nice to see some goals coming from the midfield, so our opponents can't smother our strikers and feel confident about their chances of shutting our offense down completely.

Another clean sheet for our new goalkeeper, Craig Robertson. It's his third since he arrived, and that ties him with our other keeper, Chris Christie, for most in the league. Our seven goals conceded are the fewest in our league.
