In a gripping encounter at Victoria Park, Inverurie Locos displayed remarkable resilience, coming back from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 against Buckie Thistle. The match showcased the highs and lows of both teams, with Inverurie’s manager Dean Donaldson expressing frustration over his side’s mentality despite the commendable comeback.
The match began with Buckie Thistle taking control early on, as Marcus Goodall and Sam Pugh found the net within the first ten minutes.
Their impressive start put Inverurie on the back foot, leading to a tense atmosphere among the home supporters. Donaldson’s anger was palpable as he criticized his players for their lack of focus and determination in the first half. “The mentality isn’t right,” he stated, highlighting the need for his team to approach games with a stronger mindset. Despite the early setbacks, Inverurie managed to pull one back through Calum Dingwall, igniting hope among the fans.
The second half saw a revitalized Inverurie side, with Callum Duncan scoring a stunning equalizer just after the break. The momentum shifted, and both teams had opportunities to clinch the victory. Donaldson praised the character shown by his players, especially those like Paul Coutts and Mark Souter, who stepped up when it mattered most. However, he reiterated the importance of starting games with the right attitude, emphasizing that a two-goal deficit is a dangerous position to be in against any opponent.
As the match progressed, Buckie Thistle’s manager Lewis MacKinnon expressed disappointment over missed opportunities and controversial refereeing decisions. He felt that Inverurie could have been reduced to ten men after a foul by Coutts, which many believed was a clear goalscoring opportunity. MacKinnon lamented, “Surrendering a two-goal lead is disappointing, particularly given the chances we missed in the second half.” His frustration was evident as he reflected on the key moments that could have changed the outcome of the match.
With this draw, Inverurie Locos remain in fourth place in the league, just above Banks o’ Dee, who have games in hand. The team will need to build on this performance and address the issues highlighted by their manager to ensure they start future matches with the right mentality. Meanwhile, Buckie Thistle will be looking to break their winless streak and regain their form in the upcoming fixtures.
