ExiledLichtie Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Agreed, we keep hearing this mantra that Dick needs new players, and that the current players aren't good enough. Scott Allan is more than good enough to play for us. If we aren't getting the best out of him, that's on the manager. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it was a gamble bringing him here which hasn't worked out so far, it might yet. When he was announced coming here didn't hear any criticism from the fans who on the contrary were mainly delighted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that there is no way we should be paying any player that kind of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowdenleith Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Thanks for the eating recommendations up thread, will check them out (well, the wife will!). It’s looking baltic on Friday evening, around freezing at 9pm, I take it the ground being where it it is, the game will have a good chance of going ahead though? My only previous visit to Gayfield was much warmer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without wanting to turn this into tripadvisor, are there any decent pubs that do food or Italian restaurants in the town for a bite to eat before the game? Don’t mind if the pubs are a bit noisy, we’re regulars at football and daughter is well used to the rougher end of the language scale (being Cowden regulars ). Any suggestions gratefully received. I think Coast or the Townhouse would be the best place to go personally. Even Spoons if you want something basic. On the game I really cannot be arsed with it it’s just good that we don’t have to do a league game this week and we will be a week closer to January. This game up against Netherlands v Argentina in the quarter finals of a World Cup… I know what I’d prefer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what we are paying him and I doubt anyone else knows but I assume the board would have had to ok the deal and if they were happy with whatever we are paying him I'm ok with that. The board are doing a good job and seem to know what they are doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making the point that Scott Allan is responsible for his poor form on the pitch you can't put that all on the manager. He is a good player, just not happening for him just now but hope he finds his form. Edited December 6, 2022 by keptie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC360PUNK1320 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I thought it was a decent performance on Saturday and deserved the point and in fact could have won it in the end, the subs made a difference but for the life of me having our 2 proper strikers on the bench (Shanks and Isiaka) i could not believe the Gaffer brought on Corfe for Bobby and never went for the 3 points with putting another striker up top with Fosu who caused problems when he came on. I was at the Q&A so know some of the reasons that some players are getting less game time than others and in the little game time i have seen Isiaka play he has actually looked decent, strong and direct so it is a mystery to me why he does not get more minutes under his belt and if anybody is telling me there is more chance in winning a game thrown Corfe on before Shanks and Isiaka then i am baffled. I think Friday's game is the type of game to play the players that are not getting game time and just say "prove me wrong lads". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
