He was everywhere and gave his all when he was on the park. Yes, another one of our better players left out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) This is what I said in the match thread for Saturday. Who'd have thought that the defensive issues would be highlighted again? Not playing Malcolm also is a huge mistake. Quote If we start with our best 11 then we've a chance of sneaking a draw here. If Gary Bollan reads PnB.... Play Talbot at left back Play Sheerin up top Go and actually find what our best centre half partnership is and stick with it - Pyper/Scullion/Deas/Marsh Let's look at our defence so far this league season. These are the 4 players that I think have started each game: Clyde - 0-2 - Mullen, Marsh, Pyper, Talbot Annan - 1-2 - Mullen, Marsh, Gilfillan, Swann Berwick - 4-0 - Mullen, Scullion, Marsh, Swann Queens Park - 0-0 - Mullen, Marsh, Scullion, Talbot Peterhead - 2-4 - Mullen, Pyper, Marsh, Talbot Albion - 1-1 - Mullen, Pyper, Scullion, Deas Edinburgh - 0-1 - Mullen, Pyper, Marsh, Deas We've not played the same back 4 in back to back league games this season No wonder we're such a shambles at the back. Pick what the best 4 is Gary and stick with it. Edited October 1, 2018 by The Minertaur 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I’ve witnessed I’d probably go for this too. Malcolm and Fraser in the middle. Swann out left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd have Scullion & Deas as CB in certain games or Pyper & Deas in other. Marsh for me sits in front of either pairing. Left back Jason Talbot or Harvey. If you opt 3-5-2 as from observation may be a better option at times then Pyper, Scullion, Deas with Mullen & Swan Wing Backs. And yes Malcolm starts & plays in the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldincoo Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) After today, if Deas is played anywhere other than at centre back in every game for as long as we have him then the manager should be shot. Is there any 'coaching' going on at training ? First time I've seen Cowden in the flesh this year and the deficiencies are there in plain view. The game is crying out for the players to have even a modicum of composure on the ball which is treated as if it was a hot potato by just about everybody. Some of the short range passing was appalling. There is little going on in the midfield and it inevitably gets hoofed down the park and back to the opposition. I'm not entirely clear what the tactics are supposed to be - Long Ball, Direct, a quick passing game or what ?Doesn't look like there is any convincing leadership on or off the park. When Fotheringham got sent off he was bawling at the players from the stand and not in a good way. He needs to show much more discipline. The club are going to get fined again no doubt and there are better things to spend the money on. No wonder the players have little confidence. At least they battled today and looked like they were working for each other but that was a staggeringly poor Stirling side. At least the manager at last picked mostly the side that everybody else bar him could see should be on the park today. Onwards and upwards.

wulliemc Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Difficult to judge anything on today because the red card seemed to completely change the players mindset and Sheerin totally changes what happens when the ball goes up to the frontman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 That was a massive 3 points for us at the weekend. If we could win on Saturday against Elgin (unlikely as I will be attending the match) then we'd be sitting 6th and closer to the promotion play offs than the relegation ones at the end of the first quarter which I'm sure we'd all have taken before the season began. Who'd have thought though that playing Talbot at left back and putting Deas into the middle would make a difference? One for Cowden Cowboy - have we had a trialist sent off before? When was the last one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you appeal a trialist's sending off? Obviously it would only be worth it if you were going to sign him but is it possible? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I don’t see any reason as to why the rules would prohibit it, it would be very strange if you couldn’t but with the week we have had in Scottish football anything is possible... I guess the issue is clubs won’t want to risk £500 (?) on an unsuccessful appeal for a player that isn’t theirs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowden Cowboy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I'm sure its £1000 for an appeal and its paid back if the appeal is successful.This process has changed for 2018/19 and is now known as the 'Claims' procedure and cost is £500 if premier club, £250 for championship, League 1 or 2, £125 any other clubs. Fee to be paid within 30 days but waived if you win case. Claim has to be made now by 1pm on first working day after game where incident occurred (that is earlier than before), the compliance officer is no longer involved nor do club/player attend a hearing. The club/player make a written submission along with photographic evidence and that is all that is considered by Tribunal. You can appeal in respect of a trialist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see that the price has dropped for us to submit an appeal. I'd say going by the video that we'd probably lose the appeal as it's not clear than an obvious mistake was made by the ref. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those that looked worse than it was.Don't think the ref had much choice though. Saw exactly the same tackle on Match of the Day on Saturday. Outcome, a yellow card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
