East Fife player-manager Gary Naysmith watched his side rout Threave Rovers to make the Scottish Cup third round but said he still expects more from the Fifers.
The Methil men had little trouble seeing off their Lowland League visitors with the match ended as a contest by the end of the first half as the Fifers went in four goals up.
However, despite the eventual seven goals they scored and a clean sheet, boss Naysmith said his men still have things to work on.
He said: “For the standards that I set for the lads I thought we were a little bit sloppy at times.
“I’m not criticising their professionalism I just want them to strive to be the best they can be in every game and parts of the game were sloppy.
“We need to have some consistency. We can’t just drop it against Threave and then expect to pick it up next week again against Clyde. But that’s maybe me just being picky because we’re in the next round of the cup and have scored seven goals.”
Nathan Austin opened the scoring when he swept home a loose ball inside the opening few minutes before going on to add number two after bursting through the Threave backline.
Jon McShane increased the damage when he nodded home at the back post with Austin going on to complete his hat-trick before the break.
Number five came when McShane bagged his second goal after he was played in on goal by Kevin Smith.
Ross Campbell was handed a rare start for East Fife but he impressed by scoring his first goal for the club as he fired in off the post.
The rout was completed late on by Caolan McAleer who beat Vincent Parker.
Naysmith added: “What was also important for me is that I got minutes into people who needed them. We have a run of games where we’re going to need the whole squad.”
