The Blue Brasilion Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 As I pointed out before the last game, in recent history this isn't the case. Generally Cowden don't win. I think that will still hold good for Sat; we've got the better players and better team. My only real concern is our goalies. Remember an Arbroath captain coming out with that nonsense of better players/team than Cowden, how did that go again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenConvert Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Pish.Thats a reasoned, well thought out and articulate post that demonstrates how you arrived at that conclusion.You can't say any more really though because you know deep down you're utterly wrong.

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 We certainty can't be any worse than the first fixture and we have improved a lot since then so it could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 We certainty can't be any worse than the first fixture and we have improved a lot since then so it could go either way. I think with Oyenuga, Fraser and Gallagher in the side we will do better than the 1st meeting with Alloa, things have improved with them in the side. Still a hard game always is at there.

Still a hard game always is at there.If we play like we did at Dumbo we're more than capable of getting a result.If it is still tight with 20 or 30 to go I'd like to see Sutherland get some game time. He scored another couple for the reserves this week. Has had 5 minutes since going off in the sub fiasco v Alloa last time. He needs a chance if Higgins is as quiet as he has been last couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Aye I'd agree with that. Higgins created very little at Dumbo at it was strange to make the substitution so late, what was he meant to do in 2 minutes. He's our only option off the bench.

BFTD Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Wasps1 Looking forward to this more than any other game so far this season! Hopefully both teams will go for it and we'll end up with a cracker. I remember reading that Cowden's squad was better than ours, barring one or two exceptions, so it ought to be a toughie for us. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see how we can have any concern about Alloa's pitch as we have played on it often enough since it got laid. For me the days of slagging off synthetic pitches should be long gone. We train on a 3G surface and all of the players who have come through the youth ranks to the first team have played on them often enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only person I've heard complain in the media about it was Ally McCoist but he has been critical of all the other synthetic pitches Rangers have played on over the last few years so obviously has a problem with them in general. I don't know why people still go on about them I can understand why folk moaned about the old Stirling Albion pitch in the late 80s but the modern day ones are quite good.

Cowden til i die Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Synthetic pitches are brilliant. All players train on them at some point, the majority of youth players are brought up with them too. Alloa's is a poor version but mainly due to the significant advances in the last few years.

Waspie Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Surprised at the confidence of some alloa fans. Truth is theres very little between the teams, same as last season. I've often said that I believe we were significantly better than Cowdenbeath last season in every area except attack. Our top scoring forward last season scored 5 goals. How many did Hemmings and Stewart get? Cowden had far superior attacking options to us and that's what left very little in it between the sides in the end. Obviously those players are gone but with Alloa's defensive unit weakened by the loss of Scott Bain things are evened up a bit. We do have more of a threat up front than we did. Ultimately I agree with printer that we are a better team but the fact is that our points tally doesn't reflect how well we have played and we need to change that. Playing nice stuff and getting plaudits is of very little use if we're 10th tomorrow night. If the players need any further motivation they should recall the stuff peddled by some Cowden fans about Alloa playing anti football and this new one that Alloa only won at Central Park because Cowden weren't trying Mon the Wasps.

Cowden til i die Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 An Alloa fan at work said Cowden were rubbish. Hopefully we take motivation from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
