Shandon Par Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Apart from getting cuffed by us, it has been two narrow defeats for Cowden under Nish against tough opponents. Falky reckons we'll get a much tougher game this time. As we saw last time out against Cowden, we've got such quality on the bench that it's going to be a tough shift for our opponents. Wallace has come on and scored in every game so far yet there's no rush for him to be in the starting 11. Hopkirk looked very dangerous and super-fit when he came on against Cowden but again, he can't get a starting role ahead of Cardle. When we've conceded goals in the last couple of matches we've scored again almost straight away - it shows a good level of self belief in total contrast to last season.

The contrast to last season is you have better players. Two seasons ago you had Rangers to contend with. Last season it was Morton. This season there are no other full time teams. Spending the money this season along with appointing a proven manager is a winning formula. Rocket science it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdencolt Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Night and day the difference between the two clubs right now. The Pars will romp their way to the title with quality players in all positions for this level, while we are struggling to make chances let alone score goals. Losing that late sickener yesterday looked to have knocked the stuffing from us as we put in a decent performance second half. Chopper, Hughes, and Beaumont all out is not helping, but surely Kenny will play.. Hope we can compete better than last time, but it's games like the week after that will determine where we will be at the end of the season.

We had a bigger budget and squad last year - Potter made it look like rocket science! The amount of the players we released in the summer who popped up with goals or good performances yesterday with their new teams would suggest it was mainly the management, rather than the players who were at fault. Johnston is only doing what every fan could see needed to be done. Play players in the right position, in a formation they understand, and get them physically stronger.

The Blue Brasilion Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Missing this one as i am away. Cannot see anything other than a home win, but hoping we give them a game of it than the last time. Pars will need to be utterly and woefully p**h for us to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only coo in the village Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Just a question of how many goals we will lose by I'm sorry to say. I will stick the money I will save by not going to watch us get pumped into our Roof Fall fund. Every little helps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecowden Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I have absolutely nothing else to do and I live within walking distance. However I will think of something to make sure I give it a miss. Home games only this season. I hope we do OK but I reckon a defeat is the call. Buy how many is the question imo. Defeatist probably, realistic definitely.

cowdenbeath Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Two people saying that there not going is hardly everybody walking away, one of them said he's just going to home games this season so maybe made his choice on that before a ball was kicked.

DAFC. Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Stick them in they daft seats at the bottom of the main stand, that'll hold all 50 of them. Comfortable win again. Hopefully we can get our first clean sheet. 3-0 Pars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the cup game at East End. I have suffered enough. I will be at every home game also. I'd rather give money to Cowdenbeath than give any more cash to the Pars.

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Cowden fans running scared after one league game. Glad they've accepted their place in Scottish football and hope the players give up as easily at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
