THE PARS NEWS UPDATE - October 5, 2025
=== MATCH REPORT & MANAGER REACTION ===
Dunfermline Athletic drew 0-0 with Queen`s Park yesterday (October 4th) at KDM Group East End Park, extending their winless run to four games and their goalless streak to three matches.
Manager Neil Lennon admitted the team will face `pain` this season as they build with a young squad. Speaking after the match, Lennon said: "For all the ball we had, we didn`t create enough clear-cut chances. Our quality in the final third today was lacking."
Key match highlights:
- Charlie Gilmour hit the junction of post and crossbar in the first half
- Matty Todd`s shot slipped just wide with four minutes left
- Chris Kane had to clear a Josh Fowler effort off the line in first-half injury time
- Nurudeen Abdulai made his debut and impressed Lennon: "I thought he was excellent... He looked an athlete and cleaned up everything"
- Alfons Amade was handed the captain`s armband in the absence of injured Kyle Benedictus
Lennon emphasized the team`s youth: "We`ve got a young team, and the only way they`re going to get experience is by playing them... This is a totally different aspect of the job that I`ve got to do. We`re trying to build something, but it`s going to take a bit of pain along the way."
