It was maybe the right time to drop Liam after his penalty miss as he was lacking confidence. Scoring against Edinburgh the following game from the bench would have been a confidence boost but he was back on bench. The tactics are not suited for him. He played at his best when partnered with Renton. Support Maurice's decision around selection but are confused how a player like Carty or a wider player like Barr can start before him in the advanced role. Manager must have his reasons.

Tonight was a major disappointment. We seem to be relying on a long throw and we are s***e at that. Must be 30 attempts in last 4 games without troubling keeper. The more creative players appear to be held back from expressing themselves and how Liam doesn't start I will never know. Maurice talked about the need for signings and when provided with the funds/loans, he doesn't play them?? Will continue to support the manager as he seems good for the club but something needs to change to turn things around.

Carty was awful! Seems to be in the wrong place throughout the game. Big pitch does not suit him.

Agree and more than likely Harvey will get it tight. To be fair however, there was no out ball and if he went past his man the game would have opened up. Big Toddy shouldn't be diving in as well. Created very little but the team collectively maintained a good shape and limited Kelty to little chances. We also had a couple of good openings. Lots of optimism moving forward with regards to picking up points.

Stenhousemuir -vs- Cowdenbeath
silkybeath replied to Francesc Fabregas's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
4 points away this season to the big spending promotion pushing super team. -
I thought Quinn had a poor game tonight. Wanted to much time on the ball and decision making not the best. Still a talented player and games will only help his development. Deserved something from the game. Should have got something before half time and only team likely to score when it went 1-1. Crazy second goal to lose. The corner came from an error and then we switched off. Lots of positives. I thought Robbie Buchanan had a good game but in desperate need of a few new recruits. Disappointed with a few shouts at manager. He has been left with the shambles. As mentioned many times, the signing of a squad that finished 2nd bottom was crazy!

Stenhousemuir -vs- Stranraer

I think if my maths are correct, it was 0 points. -
Wow!! Not long until the school holidays.

Agree, needs to find a new hobby.

One of your players lifted his hands to one of our players on the lead up to the corner right in front of ref. Things get missed both ways. Forfar fans were highly critical of team at half time. Strange from a game that was dominated??
-
There was nothing between the teams until the last 10mins. Btw, the Forfar fans are some of the most greeting faced individuals in football. Some of the reactions to decisions were comical.
-
Thanks for that. Always good to hear things Cowden related. Unlike Mixu, Levein's time was not always successful (6 - 0 at Dumbarton) but history of a club is always a good listen/read. Hopefully Ross is able to achieve success in the end like Levein did. Good stories help at this current time.

Elgin City Vs Cowdenbeath
silkybeath replied to therewasacoo's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Thought he did really well. We need a striker ASAP as it seems Liam buchanan is more interested in arguing with the ref. Gill made some really good saves. Noticed this more and more from Liam, he has the quality to let his goals do the talking. Ross has a huge job on his hands but like others have said, he can only work with the small squad he has. We all knew it was a disaster when Bolan resigned a group of players that finished second bottom. Looking at the bench today, there was no goal threat to bring on. Would still like to see Swann play further up the park but need to sign a left back. -
Fact... They remain the only club to have competed in the professional leagues since the 20th century but never to have won a league title.

Next Cowdenbeath Manager
silkybeath replied to Cowden_T.I.D's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
I wasn't sure at first but reading a bit more and watching the video provides a bit of hope. Might just be the change we need to save our season and more importantly moving forward. -
Next Cowdenbeath Manager

If we are close to appointing someone, there is a good chance they will be at the game today. -
Next Cowdenbeath Manager

The link to Brian Reid is most likely due to the Rangers connection. A payment to obtain him is not worth it in my opinion. -
Next Cowdenbeath Manager
silkybeath replied to Cowden_T.I.D's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
The club may just take the cheap option and put McGurn and Barr in charge, especially if they can get a win on Saturday. -
Next Cowdenbeath Manager

Was reading this morning that we have approached Brian Reid at Albion Rovers. Surely he would be under contract? -
Next Cowdenbeath Manager
silkybeath replied to Cowden_T.I.D's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Appointing young blood can be really successful as you mentioned (Mixu, Cameron) or a risk (Fox, Nish). A Barry Robson, Steven Naismith or Charlie Adam (no chance) would bring new ideas Other options, Jardine (with Mbu) as mentioned, Stevie Crawford, Kevin Harper, Jenkins. Will be interested to see what interest there is from applicants. Maybe Dick Campbell is bored of Arbroath -
Just shows what a good manager can bring to a team. Euan Valentine scoring also!!
-
Bring back three players.
silkybeath replied to tamthebam's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Would usually go for Stewart, Hemmings and Graham Buckley but current team desperately needs more dig so... Neil Irvine, Chopper and TOB. -
You are most likely correct with that comment. If that is the case though, if is ridiculous that he was offered a contract extension. His record since covid is awful! If money is the problem, put Easton in charge and Bollan on gardening leave. Anything different is worth a go surely? The board deserve better than what Bollan is offering.
