Elgin City’s recent rise to the top of the table has been built upon the progressive playing style that Allan Hale has instilled since taking over as manager in December 2023. The team press high, look to transition quickly, use the width of the field to get around opponents and then attack the goal in waves. This is a high-tempo, high-energy style that seems to be working of late.
Forfar Athletic’s style couldn’t be more different, as James Weir has made the Loons a much more conservative, structured and compact side since taking the reins in November 2024. They defend deep, look to stifle opponents and hit on the counter-attack when possible.
