Brilliant news that dougie hill has extended his contract at cowden, he has really grown in stature this season and has been helped immensly by Davie Hannah. If he can continue to learn and progress the way he has this year he has a very promising future in scottish football and cowden are all the better off for having him!

Definitely great news! Dougie is our best player now that Markus has gone and has never had a bad game since his return from injury earlier in the season. Here's hoping he'll continue to inspire the boys to safety at the end of the season!

Sorry to intrude on you're thread guys but what is you're goalies name? I thought it was Dougie Hill but going by the replies so far I guess I'm wrong?

Our keeper is Davie Hay. Dougie Hill is a centre half who has been insperational the past few months and looks a great prospect. I heard Dundee United have been keeping an eye on him so its fantastic that he has signed on.

Davie Hay, Dougie Hill, same thing

He was the player that was needing treatment when Rovers scored their first....if only he hadnt been injured......we could have made the score respectable......

Anyway apart from one game in the past few months he has been superb

A better defender than any centre back on Raith's books by a long chalk.

Dundee Utd are always looking in the lower leagues...both Paul Nugent and Stewart Devine have been linked with them in the past. The way Nuggs is playing just now it won't be long before they're back B)

On the downslide is Big Marv - well past his best.

They are comparable though as Dougie is one of the best players in the Division and Marv is one of the best prayers in the Division.

be prepared for a very long wait for any cash off that lot if they do actually make a move for him.

Davie Hay is first pick. Davie Orr was the back-up keeper but he has been injured for months and Kyle Allison our youth team keeper has been on the bench recently.

[Vanquinho.]

Sorry to intrude on your thread guys but, is this the Dougie Hill that used to play for Alloa?

It's just that he's my mate's cousin and I've not seen him about for ages.

He's mates with Hibs' Jay Shields.

Cheers Minertaur.

Your youth team 'keeper was mouthing off at our fans a couple of weeks ago.

Fair dues, you give it out, you take it back but he didnt have a sense of humour about it.
More people would respect him if he took it better, just a wee tip incase he reads P&B.

Yes, the same guy. I thought he looked ok going forward when he was with us but was a bit of a bombscare defensively...has obviously improved that aspect of his game and got a bit more confidence. He played left wing back when he was with us, just a couple of games at centre half.

The entire Alloa defence still looks like a bombscare whenever I have seen them. That's what playing in front of a Charlie like Creer does to defenders. I wouldn't have much confidence either with him in goal.

Creer wasnt playing for Alloa when Dougie Hill was at the club, Hill just wasnt that good and it wasnt a surprise when he was freed. He failed to get a deal when he went on trial with Berwick after that too.
Had a good pedigree from when he was at Falkirk though and has clearly now found an environment where he has flourished, good luck to him.

PS Fair enough our two showings at Central Park this season were awful but Alloa and Cowden are level on points and Alloa have only conceded 9 goals more...seems like you lot must have a few bombscares too
