I think how Cove fair up against Spartans will be a more fair assessment against a team who have also won their respective league. There are only one or two decent teams in the Highland League and the same for the Lowland Time will tell but I must admit would prefer Spartans but it could be all hype with Cove as it was with EK last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Would rather Cove relegated Cowdown. I don't mind Ainslie Park but the thought of going there 4 times in a season is a bad thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden Cowboy Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hard to believe it’s at this stage, but this is a possibility. There are also only 3 games between a Cowden Kelty derby. Still Threave Rovers to play as well if Kelty beat LTHV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 It's hard to base much on league campaigns - did Cove romp HL as they're streaks ahead of anyone else in non-league football, as or the competition wasn't there? Similarly, did Spartans go to wire in LL as it's more competitive, or as they aren't as good? - afterall they only took 6pts off the rest of the top 3, but only dropped 2pts v everyone else. All these playoffs have been tight bar Cove-EC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As CC mentioned, Kelty have to win tomorrow against a team they cannot seem to beat (surely they will eventually) even though LTHV are knackered playing every other day to catch up with outstanding fixtures. They would then have to beat Threave in a play off (which I think they would). Then of course, we have to lose our play off. Although, I think the EoS and Lowland leagues are likely to change in size very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these playoffs have been tight bar Cove-EC. The Scottish Cup is a better guide . Cove beat Airdrie away and lost 3-1 to Falkirk in the fifth round. Spartans didn't impress, but neither did we. However, our team now is improved on what we had then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are much better now. We need the likes of Malcolm, Gilfillan, Sheerin and Swann to play as well as they have recently. We also need some of our inconsistent players to be switched on for the two play off games. If this happens, I think we will be unlucky to lose. However, I don't doubt that Cove and Spartans will give it a real go and could easily replace us in the league. I would have Cove as favourites to beat Spartans, but I get the impression they may be a bit jaded and carrying a few injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Ominous result for Cowden. Brora looked a tough and organised side when they beat us in the cup, who wouldn't look out of place at all in L2, and they were well off the pace in the HL. Gut feeling is, Cowden are going down.
