Stenhousemuir make it TEN wins on the spin in League Two to move 14 points clear

Goals from centre-back duo Gregor Buchanan and Nicky Jamieson either side of a Stuart Morrison leveller on the hour mark sealed the three points for Naysmith’s men, who have now amassed a 15-match long unbeaten run stretching back to a 4-2 defeat to Dumbarton all the way back in August.

And the 10th win a row also means that Warriors have smashed the wins-in-a-row record for League Two in the SPFL-era. Stenhousemuir are now just four wins away from matching the best ever consecutive fourth tier winning record – which was set by Gretna back during the 2004/05 campaign when they went on a 14-game winning league run.

“​Well, ten, it just sounds so much better than nine doesn’t it? And that was the aim for us,” boss Naysmith beamed. “We had spoken the the group about how well we had done previously get nine wins in a row. It was simple, we wanted to do it by hook or by crook.

"Ten is even better and it is a brilliant achievement. In the first half we controlled the game and weren’t under any real pressure. We maybe didn’t quite create the amount of chances we would have liked but we scored from a set-play and we are dangerous from them.

"At the start of the second half, we were a little bit sloppy and we just had to do the simple things. We didn’t do those things and they got a goal that from our point of view was poor. At 1-1 all you do think ‘what is going to happen here’ but credit to the players – they got another goal within five minutes from another set-play.

"We picked a lot of wrong options today in the final third but we saw out the match pretty well. The good thing for me is that are things we are improve upon.”

On his goalscoring centre-back pairing, who have already grabbed seven goals between them so far this league campaign, Naysmith added: “Adam’s (Brown) deliveries are great and that is another couple of assists for him. I think he is on seven or eight now.

"We always think we can score from set-plays. We try to mix them up. We went for a couple of short ones before scoring and then we put a few in the box and it worked. You need to score goals from set-pieces, you can't just score goals from open play.

"The biggest thing for me was that when a question was asked, when there could have been a wobble when Forfar made it 1-1, the players went back up the pitch and scored and that says so much about their character.”

New signings Kyle Jacobs and Bradley Rodden both got minutes on the pitch as second-half substitutes and Naysmith was pleased to have both available for the second half of the season.

"Kyle is a wee bit more familiar,” he explained. “He’s been with us for a couple of weeks since leaving Edinburgh. Bradley was a player that I tried to get in the summer. He’s played in League One for a season and a half at Alloa Athletic and had a good record there. He’ll add something different to the team.”

Meanwhile, trio Marley Sweenie-Rowe, Mark Ferrie and Zac McKay all departed the club on Sunday.
