Blair Yule spoke to the media ahead of tomorrow’s cinch League One clash with East Fife at Balmoral Stadium.

He said: “We are desperate to get our first league win of the season, although we accept it won’t be an easy task.

“The start we have made isn’t what we hoped for, or are used to.

“In my time at Cove, we have always tended to make a strong start and found ourselves at the top end of the league, among the leading pack.

“It’s been a bit different this time, but I suppose you have to expect that when you are competing at higher levels, where a few of the sides are full-time and all of them have squads packed with players who have vast experience at SPFL level.

“There’s no panic though, we believe we also have the quality to compete at the top end.

“It’s a case of getting our heads down and working hard to get ourselves back up to where we want to be.

“We showed we had the quality to do that at this level last season.

“We did incredibly well to compete at the top end of the division right through the campaign.

“Injuries and the amount of games we had to play in a short space of time caught up with us in the end and led to us falling short in the play-offs.

“The manager has since added some more real quality to the squad, so we feel confident about our chances of being up there again.

“East Fife will feel the same way and come here determined to make it difficult for us.

“It’s up to us to handle that challenge and make sure we do enough to earn that first win.”

Tomorrow’s match kicks-off at 3pm and tickets are still available.

If you are unable to get to the game it is being screened live on CRTV, with commentary by Scott Davie.
