East Stirlingshire 0-5 Strathspey Thistle

4-4-2
GK: Christie
D: Francis, Campbell, Chisholm, Laird
M: Courts, S. Noble, Brown, McGowan
ST: Nelson, Murray

Goals: Brown (2), Nelson (43, 59), Campbell (72), Murray (82)

When we played East Stirlingshire back in March, they beat us 2-1 at Ochilview Park. We returned there tonight, and the outcome was very different.

Our opponents seem to be, with good reason, very concerned about letting Stevie Murray have room to operate in front of the goal. Lately, though, they have been paying for their determination to deny Murray those chances. Willie Nelson is making them pay, again and again. He struck twice in this match, giving him five in four league contests.

Colin Brown scored a goal for the second straight match, and he added two assists, good for a 9.1 rating and a Man of the Match selection. Andy Chisholm (17 interceptions, 14/14 headers won) was tremendous in the back, too.

Here's how the table looks after this weekend's matches:

We're back in the playoff spots, with one of the better goal differentials in the league. It's still very early, but that's a good sign.
