Whitburn drop another 3 points

Whitburn played manfully tonight but still emerged pointless and goal-less thanks to inaccurate finishing and a willingness of their opponents to block shots at all costs. But for these crucial differences there was not that much between the teams but it is goals that count and from their four shots on target Fauldhouse converted 2. The first saw Jack Currie react quickest to slam the ball into the net after an initial header was blocked and the second a cutback from wide on the left which David Dunn fired in from the edge of the box. In contrast Whitburn Gary Brass had at least 3 decent efforts on target blocked and 2 good chances which missed the target. When he did get a shot in on the keeper, which he did with a curling effort with 8 minutes to go the keeper made a good diving save. Darren Tomaszewski was also just wide from a free kick early on and efforts from Dewi Taylor and Andy Thomson also went narrowly wide in the second half. Taylor did have a header from a corner that the keeper fumbled but was able to drop down on. Obviously this defeat keeps Whitburn rooted to second bottom spot and with Glenrothes, Downfield and Arniston all also in action it gives one or more of them to put more points between us. Arniston won 3-1 against Dalkeith and the former two were playing against each other.
