David Graham Post Morton

"We were on the front foot from the word go in the second half. It proved it worked when we scored the goals."

David Graham was out for just short of two months with a torn ligament in his ankle. His injury in August was sustained in the first game against Morton when he went over on his ankle and he was pleased that the Greenock club suffered as a result of his return to full fitness:-

"It was good to come back and take it out on them after getting injured down there. With a couple of games under my belt I am starting to feel fitter."

Since his return against Ayr United on 10th October Dunfermline have gone four matches without defeat:-

"We are doing well after a couple of bad results at the start of the season. We weren't playing badly, we just weren't getting the rub of the green. Now we are starting to get that wee bit of luck and getting the goals that our play deserves. We are putting teams to bed now whereas before it was edgy towards the end of the game. Today it was edgy but we went and got a third to kill Morton off.

"I had had a couple of chances in the last couple of weeks and have been getting a bit of stick off the boys for it, even a couple of sitters in the reserve game during the week so it was good to put that to bed and get a goal.

"The victory is the main thing, whoever scores is just a bonus but I am delighted to score again."

The win did not always look on the cards after a fairly unimpressive first half performance:-

"The ball just wasn't sitting down, a lot of the play was in the air. The gaffer had said to us at half time to just get the ball down, get it wide and play. That is what we did and we were on the front foot from the word go in the second half.  It proved it worked when we scored the goals."

The double substitution made by Jim McIntyre just short of the hour saw David switched from wide right to striker, a role he readily accepted:-

"When I started off that's where I played, either there or wide - I am natural playing either. I am just happy playing wherever the gaffer asks me, I will give it my best shot. Lucky enough today I got a goal."

Despite it being Dunfermline's first consecutive home league wins since last October (Ross County and Partick Thistle) he dismissed any suggestion of a hoodoo at home:-

"That is made out to be more than it is. We love playing here - the big stadium, good pitch - but we just couldn't play football. Things weren't going well for us but now results are going our way.

"The fans here like to see us winning and going forward, maybe be too quick to get on our backs but I can't say the boys are feeling any pressure. We just want to go out there, play and get the results that our play deserves.

"If we keep doing what the gaffer wants us to do the breaks will come. Every time you get a run of bad luck you get a run of good luck and thankfully we are getting a run of good luck just now and hopefully it continues for a lot longer."

Eight points from the last four matches has maybe not seen the team climb the league table but it has boosted the confidence. Next up are table toppers Dundee and then the Rovers in the first Fife Derby in Kirkcaldy since January 2000.

"Every game in this league is a big game because everybody can beat everybody else. It is a really tight league and we have to get as many points as possible. You hope you win your home games and get as many points away from home as possible. If we can continue to play the way we are playing we will continue to pick up points."

David had some final thoughts for his former team mate James Grady who's quest to be appointed the Morton manager suffered a setback as a result of the defeat at East End Park:-

"It is hard for him to go on and be a caretaker manager. It is his first step on the management ladder and if he gets the job I am sure that he will do a good job but I am glad that he didn't finish his caretaker role today with a victory."
