mikedafc Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 We've been humped by the pars twice. They've humped every team they've played this season. Doesn't mean a thing for our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinbugercowden Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Only lost by a goal in each of their home games thus far Be interesting to see how we play against wee Rovers as said only lost by 1 goal in both the home games. thought we where unlucky against Stranraer with very late pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I thought Cowden showed plenty of attacking promise in the 7-1 game - can see you getting a few goals against a team that doesn't have our Incredible Hulk at the back. Scullion added a good bit of no-nonsense defending when he came on. I know you still conceded three goals when he was on but they were all from slick passing and movement - not the gifts you gave us in the first half.

I know you still conceded three goals when he was on but they were all from slick passing and movement - not the gifts you gave us in the first half. Our defence was horrific in both games against Dunfermline and Nishy has to get that sorted out first and foremost. We have good attacking options this season and I hope Nish puts himself on the bench for this one. The players need to step up and put our recent pumping behind them. We badly need a point or two on the board but just as importantly we need to get a bit of confidence back into the team. Hoping for the 3 points but we certainly can't take anything for granted. Rovers will be tough opponents and will be looking to make the most of our bad start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 We need to sort the defence out big style. Amazing how poor it has become when we still have a back line of Adamson - Armstrong - ?? - Brett which we know is a solid back line at this level. Obviously Chopper has some issues with fitness just now but I'm sure it'll come good. With regards a loan signing (didn't expect anymore signings to be honest!) a keeper would be nice but by christ we need a decent centre mid! Somebody to make us more solid in the middle. Any word on Beaumont? For some reason I can't decide if we'll win 3-0 tomorrow or lose 1-0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierkegaard Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 At least I got a sun tan in the front of the stand last week. It's too early to start talking about "must win" games, but this is a "must win" game Could be a cracker. Nish on the bench, to come on later. Robbie and Luke Armstrong up front. Mr Scullion in defensive midfield, shooting from the half way line. You know it makes sense. 3-1 Cowden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden Cowboy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I never understand the must win game syndrome. Yes the last game of the season v Alloa was indeed a must win. But most must win assessments don't stand up. You lose and the week after somebody says well this one is an absolutely must win game. Lose that and then we upgrade to a game we can't afford to lose. Reality is we could do with winning this one to get things going but judging by 3 league games isn't really an acid test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest issue seems to be your centre backs,the lad from Livingston just isn't up to it and as mentioned previously Armstrong? Is carrying a bit of timber.

I know you still conceded three goals when he was on but they were all from slick passing and movement - not the gifts you gave us in the first half.Scullion got absolutely roasted by a straight pass over him for the 5th I think. He was jumping up and down with anger after it as it was poor defending. There wasn't wven any angle on the ball. I'm not sure you were watching the same game but I can excuse you as the excitement of your full time club with 4000 fans managed to beat the smallest club in league football.

Kierkegaard Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The game's not over till Mr Scullion sends in a howitzer. In his first spell with us, Pat never gave less than 100 %. One win now and the dynamics could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One win now and the dynamics could change.Pat got pelters when he signed again. I admit i was one of the sceptics but truth be told when he's been on the park can anyone say he's had a bad game?Wish some other players had his dig and attitude.

HenryHill Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So any club with a bigger support than ours or more money than us can't enjoy beating us. Or discuss our players. Should they even be allowed to play us ? They are not allowed to compare crowds but we can when we lose? Think we need to grow a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
