HibeeJibee Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Ominous clouds continue to gather for Cowdenbeath who now have 1pt from their last 5 league games and are now almost at a stage of having to claw back 1pt every remaining set of games. Cove are looking ever-stronger in HL but, at least in theory, with over 1/3 of the program to be crammed into the last 7 weeks any collapse in form could still open the door for Fraserburgh or more tenuously Inverurie or Formartine. It's interesting how the challenge of Buckie and Brora has evaporated this season. It remains impossible to call LL: if you corrected for games-in-hand but had 'Shire win their home game against Spartans you'd have EK on 59pts, Spartans on 59pts, BSCG on 58pts and 'Shire on 55pts: this looks like being a cracker right down to the last days. 7 Clyde P23 W7 D8 L8 29pts 8 Berwick P24 W7 D4 L13 25pts 9 Edin City P24 W5 D4 L15 19pts ---------------------------------------- 10 Cowdenb’h P24 W1 D7 L16 10pts 1 Cove P22 W20 D2 L0 62pts --------------------------------------- 2 Fraserb'h P24 W17 D4 L3 55pts 3 Inverurie P24 W16 D3 L5 51pts 4 Formart'e P24 W16 D1 L7 49pts 1 East Kilb P25 W18 D5 L2 59pts --------------------------------------- 2 BSC Glasg.

Kelheart Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Would say Clyde n Berwick safe only hope for Cowden is an EC slump n win awe their games unfortunately 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Don't think Berwick can be viewed as 100% safe yet in the unlikely event that Cowdenbeath started winning a few games all of a sudden as they are only 4 points ahead of EC and that could easily narrow to 1 when they play against each other. If Cowdenbeath lose to EC next weekend it's very difficult to see a way back for them with a 15 point gap to overcome given they will be playing a few of the promotion contenders during the run in and EC's recent form has been quite good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance we are catching anyone. Somehow we need to find some form for the play off. If I was any of the teams trying to get promoted I would be looking at this year as the best chance of doing so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the play off finalist can’t beat us they definitely don’t deserve to come up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hope Cowden survive, best of luck. A good club with good people behind it, just badly down on its luck at present. without a solution to the ground issue however it's hard to see how the club can progress in the longer term. The winner of the Cove v Spartans play off semi-final (pretty certain that will be the candidates this year) will be tough, though. Ironic that Cowden are in this position given the Spartans plot to franchise their way into the league a few seasons back, at Cowden's expense. Cove may have been half hearted in their last play off appearance but suspect with the new ground round the corner they'll feel they have everything in place to progress off as well as on the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyde_r_us Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 While relieved not to be part of this years drop out process, I wish cowdown all the best on survival..... Honest lads 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden316 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Good kind messages from other clubs regarding our current misfortunes. If we are in the playoffs which looks a certainty the more people we can get to the games to ensure Cowdenbeath F.CS survival would be greatly appreciated for those that wish us well. As somebody pointed out any club in the promotion hot-spot this season should do all they can to get up as it could be a your clubs turn next and it's a horrific experience as a fan of your club experiencing it even more so for two sessions running. Cowdenbeath are helping prop up those above us again this season and hopefully someone will be propping us in the SPFL next season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitburn Vale Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Or maybe a stint in the Lowland League where you are winning most weeks instead of getting toued most weeks will be better for Cowden and their fans Just maybe that is Cowden's level for now? I'm not the only one to think this but if you finish bottom of any league you should be relegated. I know it was self preservation from the SPFL clubs at the time to have a play-off between club 42 and the winner of the SHFL v SLFL playoff but its time for it to go. Feel it will go and hopefully not too far into the future. If Cowden do go down hopefully they come back stronger Edited February 25, 2018 by Whitburn Vale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just been one bad season after another since 2015 and maybe we would get some stability if we ended up in the Lowland League. 18 hours ago, Ivo den Bieman said: Hope Cowden survive, best of luck.

Like you I would imagine Cove would be more up for the play offs than the last time with their new ground meant to be ready for next season. Spartans were my pre season tip for the LL and they have games in hand but EK have the points in the bag and have made some decent additions to their squad like Bryan Prunty since we played them in the Scottish Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenkay Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'd like to wish Cowden well, and hope you stay up! I've seen Spartans and East Kilbride recently, and they're nothing special. Biggest threat will come from Cove Rangers, who I reckon will play in the play-off final, but over two games Cowden can stay up. Anyway, as your local(ish) I'm going to make the effort to come along to Central Park to see Cowden in most of your home games you've got left this season. Genuinely hope Cowden stay in League 2 for next season! All the Best! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I hope the best team stays up or goes up. Relegation isn’t nice but it’s part of the game. I would echo the guy above in saying that the bottom team really should be automatically relegated here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I wish Cowdenbeath all the best, if cove or Spartans can’t beat them they should probably discard relegation in future as the teams below are clearly not interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
