Low was good.Took his goal well, and could have scored earlier.Thus ends Forfars contribution to the game.You were surprised Forfar never scored again..how were you allowed out to attend the game.Never read such pish as this.Good win though for Forfar.

That made me laugh - Forfar fans firstly catching the ball in the crowd and then throwing it behind them. When it finally got near the front the guy about a metre from Cowan through it miles to the side of him. I was fair fuming at the time but looking back if it had been the other way around I'd have done the same

Thanks...its good to get some recognition on here sometimes....

Cant believe how harsh some of our fans have been on the Cowden players. We made enough chances to win a dozen games but some bad luck and some excellent defending stopped up scoring.

Surely we dont consider ourselves as Big Time Charlies who will win every game we play. We are still ahead of the pack and should be able to stay there as long as we get behind the boys week in, week out.

Come on Cowden

Well said - on another day we would have scored 3 or 4. The players are giving their all and you could see how annoyed they were after the game. They'll be fired up for the Albion game and I wouldn't be surprised if we score a few in that game.

hopefully we are due to bury a team big time soon.
over a season there will be times when they dont go in but you just get through it and stick to the plan.
5 points clear in january = fookin marvellous

As you say Ally were still 5 points clear and 13 ahead of 3rd place i'm sure everyone would have taken that at the start of the season. As mentioned we can't expect to win every week.
Sure it was frustrating to lose on Saturday but I would have been more worried if we had got beat and hadn't created any chances, on another day we would have scored a few but it was just one of those days. Just as we are fighting for the title Forfar are fighting to stay in division so it was always going to be a hard game at a ground where we don't have a great record.

Couple of folk have stole ma point i was gonna make but they are correct. If we won that game 2-0 or 2-1 etc based on that performance after the game we would have been saying we were magnif. We have played better fact but we still played well - couple of players dropped below their normal performance levels but it literally was just one of those days. If cowden in every game were to take 25% of chances they create they will literally pound teams every week. On saturday poor finishing cost us.

Felt sorry for Toorie on sat - its not easy to come on in that position when you are 1 down. Thought Lyle was poor if im honest - Lewis in first half lead that line really well again and Mckenzie superb thought linton at left back had a really good game also with some good deliveries.natch Robbo was superb as well.

Forfar well emmmm ground out a great 3pts for themselves - their gk made some crucial saves (the one in first min was a great save) - fair play to them if we were bottom of league we would be grinding out that game.

Sharpen up on our finishing and teams will need to score 4 or 5 to draw or beat us

Conditions did not favour a passing game so it was always going to be difficult for Cowden but there weren't many folk at the game on Saturday expecting a Forfar win. It was a bit similar to the home game against Dumbarton again spoiled by the wind. What I found frustrating was even with the wind behind us in the first half (and it was some wind) we never had one shot from distance. So what if someone misses by a mile at least they are having a go.

True, way our finishing us sometimes however we need to walk the ball in....lol. I thought we played really well in the first half. Mckenzie and robbo the standouts (again)Lewis not far behind.
couple of breaks here or there didnt go for us. The one gripe I would have is that we dont attack the ball well enough from corners/decent crosses.
the wind can f**k off now for the season pls.

[Cowden til i die]

One of our best performances of the season was in the wind at Stenny though, again we missed too many chances. Losing Jordan is a bigger blow as he is the only one who shoots. We do try to walk it in. Robbo has the ability so I'd like to see him have more attempts at goal, we always try to pass it in.

A good game to try and get over it on Saturday and we must go with our strongest XI as it's vital we get back to winning ways!

Still 5 points clear!

Acht. Well it would have happened sooner or later. Hopefully thats that out the way now. Allez les bleus.

Well done Forfar.

[CHARLIEFISH]

Good to see that the recent posters have written what I think. We have a loyal bunch of fans that are vocal, take the Hibs cup tie for example, but some can be a bit over critical when not going our way. We have a great squad and management, and are playing a passing game, even fans from other clubs recognise this. It's not all doom and gloom, one defeat, still top, and hope back to winning ways on sat. !

CTD who is our strongest 11 in your opinion??

Sadly im not Cameron but he must know his ideal line up. Go with what we know works.

Flynn
Cowan Armstrong Mbu Adamson
Robertson Cameron/O'Brien
McKenzie Ramsay Linton
Stewart

Subs from: Beast, Brett, Lyle, Cusack, Coult, Winter, O'Brien

Still a very strong starting XI. Tried and proven. New lads need to earn a start, haven't done so far. Could have done with an out and out wide man alas.

have to agree with your 1st 11 at the moment.

[Miss Bridie]

Get over it. We might not being doing very well this season but the gulf in class between most teams in the division is hardly that large so although it was a slight surprise we won its hardly a shock. Reading some of the comments from Cowden fans on this thread would make you think Cowden had just thrown away the league!

Sure Cowden will win the league by a good few points but you are hardly Barcelona so the odd defeat is going to happen!

Agreed - a big loss on Saturday was no Adamson which meant Linton couldn't be forward as much wipping crosses in. Fairly sure a lot of our chances in the 2nd half came from Linton pushing up.

My strongest 11 just now would be

Flynn

Cowan
Joe
Chopper
Adamson

Linton
Robbo
Ramsay
Mackenzie

Stewart
Coults

A know the formation has served us well but am not a 1 up top person a would always play 2up,think coults/Stewart deserve a run out from the start and a wid play Stewart in the hole behind coults,hate to leave obrien out as he's top class but Joe/chopper are prob the best pairing in the league,am certain that midfield 4 wid more than hold it's own against anyone in the league,CC form has been poor for a little while now and think he can be as good an influence from the touchline,but if we stick to same formation ad drop coults and put obrien in midfeild
