an86 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Always something novel about a midweek away game. Cowden are no longer an absolute gang and that this will be a very tough game. Although we drew, I'm still of the opinion that our performance at Hampden against them was up there with our best in terms of general play. We should genuinely have won about 5-0. Think we missed at least three one on ones and had several other near misses. Different story at Central Park. It'll be a battle and Cowdenbeath will hope to have more of a foothold on the game. From our perspective, we have guys who will relish the battle in Gerry, Dom McLaren and Jambo. We're also more of a goal threat than we were last time out against them. As ever, anything picked up on the road isn't going to derail your season, but we can win this one at our best. Cowden will feel the same. Don't expect there to be too much in this.

Playing 90 minutes alongside a hardened campaigner like Gerry should be a good learning experience for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Is there a team in Scottish football more pointless than Queen's Park? Even Cowden are better than them. Stirling Albion, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Results wise we are on a bit of form. sure someone will know the exact stats but it will probably be our best run of results for 3/4 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactic seems to be don’t press the ball, sit in and invite teams into us. Clog the final third up with bodies so there’s little space for them to create . Risky tactic. Mcgurn had several decent stops, how many did their keeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeen Cowden Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 To be fair to Brora, they took their defeat well and didn’t call the club, the officials, the supporters and everyone else in Cowdenbeath cheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iateallthepies Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The players didn't seem to be sure what the tactics were and our midfield was a mess,but as against Annan McGurn Deas and Marsh were immense . Swann who had played pretty well dropped and Skelly who made a big impact coming on from the bench dropped from the bench! All a bit hard to fathom, but I suppose as long as we are winning.

Skelly on loan so probably not been allowed to play. Bollan has never seemed to be a fan of Swann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 We've won 5 of our last 7 matches with both defeats coming against Elgin going back to September. We've conceded 6 times across those games but 5 have come against Elgin! Our defence is superb and is practically winning us every game right now. How long is Deas signed on loan for?

CowdenLoyal Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 He has been amazing since he was put to his best position Agreed. Extremely composed for a guy as young. His positioning is excellent as well as decision making too.I still feel we are a better side when Swann plays. He actually has a bit of creativity about him, maybe worth a punt playing him centre mid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
