Clyde will be up for the tackle but none of our 3 are ball winners. That only works for a possession based style of game. We don't have the players elsewhere in the side to pull it off. Anyway the Bairns won and that is the main thing. Falkirk do not do it simple ! Pampers time at Cove methinks ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s utterly shite with no redeemable qualities at all. Any competent manager would have punted him months ago yet our 2 dicks see him as an automatic starter. Hall isn’t great but Neilson demonstrated today he is more than capable in there. Overall much improved performance. Out of 10 Mutch 6 bit dodgy but good save at the death. Neilson 9 - Different class future Scotland player Hall 4 points for hitting the target otherwise not convincing Durnan 6 thought he was good today his strength is invaluable Dixon 6 solid Telfer 8 - great work rate Alston 7 better Fotheringham -4 poor didn’t create much Morrison 7 overdoes it at times but always a danger Sammon 9 best game for us deserved to be on the score sheet Keena -5 poor until he got his goal subs - stand out was leitch 6 who showed he does have something to offer.

Mutch should've saved the goal blindfolded. No point in leitch beating a man and then punting it into the stand. Final product is nowhere near good enough. Thought Sammon played well but a 9? He should've had at least one goal and needs to improve his finishing. His effort was first class for a change though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His record in the transfer market was appalling and was the reason why we got poorer year on year. Tactically he was decent and his achievements with other managers players were excellent. His big mistake for me was telling all and sundry he was retiring at the end of the season. We should either have shaken his hand then and moved him on or git someone in to work beside him with a view to taking the job at the end of the season. Once the players knew he was for the off you weren't going to get much commitment from them and that proved to be the case. Was a mistake which cost him in the end. For me Houston picked up more decent players than any manager who’s followed him. Nobody since has recruited as many who had the impact of Tom Taiwo, Peter Grant, Mark Kerr, John Baird, Danny Rogers, Lee Miller or Myles Hippolyte. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will find it incredibly difficult to find sponsorship post-covid. The North stand is still clad in advertising for a car garage that went down the tubes a year ago FFS! I believe the company who bought out the car garage are still paying for that signage. It’s up to them if they want to update their branding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS RR Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 That result showed why M&M won manager of month, we played fantastic against a part-time team who are completely exhausted from their fixture congestion. Outstanding stuff from management and players. #keepthefaith #expecttheunexpected 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 subs - stand out was leitch 6 who showed he does have something to offer. Yeah he might have something to offer but it’s certainly not as a full time football player.Him beating a man then running the ball out of play does nothing to change the fact that he’s absolutely garbage and it’s a mystery why dumb and dumber give him game time every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Interesting that Partick play twice (Clyde at home then Montrose away) before we kick a ball again on Saturday. Could put themselves right in the mix with two wins or all but consign themselves to the play-offs if they slip up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 They need to have a look back to when Cove never laid a glove on us at TFS for confidence. Everyone in our team can get the better of their man next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Anyone got any idea how long Dowds will be out for? Sammon put himself about well today but there's absolutely no end product. Hopefully Dixon's not too bad and Hall can take as long as he wants to recover. Alston's looked a lot better the last few games and I think it's because Telfer takes the pressure off by constantly going looking for the ball so he can just float about doing his thing. Fotheringham's good enough for me to start in Leitch's place, which I know isn't exactly hard, he's got a brilliant first touch and always looks to get at his man the end product will come. Great for Keena getting his goal and if anything it highlights why he needs a partner upfront as Sammon's presence allowed him the free space to walk onto that ball and tuck it away. Below team for Cove Rangers please. Mutch Neilson Durnan Mclelland Dixon Morrison Alston Telfer Fotheringham Sammon/Dowds Keena 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too many crap signings. Holt signed Peter Grant but I was told that Houston subsequently had the option to cancel the transfer and didn't. No idea if that was true or not, but given that Grant never featured in the first few months it's possible. However, when Vaulks moved into midfield Houston not only made Grant an ever-present but quickly gave him a contract extension. So I think it's fair to say that Houston eventually recognised his ability. Can't argue about the dross he brought in right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Would imagine our game won't go ahead on Saturday if the Scottish Cup postponement chat is applied consistently. Would think it'll be the Sunday, or we're looking at Tuesday/Thursday to get the 18 games in before the deadline. Decent chance the league will only be 18 games which would be yet another gift for us this season. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telfer, Alston, Morrison & Fotheringham are ahead of him in the pecking order at the moment. If you want to replace any of them with an offensive midfielder then who's left? Gomis & Miller aren't creative, Connolly's injured, Todd is gone and Aidan Laverty doesn't seem to be rated despite having had several contract extensions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
