It’s entirely possible they could take them. Play like we did on Saturday and it's more than possible. Thank goodness we've got some points in the bag.

PELE Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I would go :- McGurn or Lennox Mullen/Pyper/Deas/Talbot Cox/Fraser/Malcolm Allan/Henvey/Swann Muirhead and Miller to come on at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Yes Buchanan puts in a good shift. Some folk just don't like him for some reason.He runs about lots but has no ability on the ball. Poor passer and has poor ball control.Simply running about loads just isn't good enough for me.

cowden boy Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Not really. Did he play well tonight? He hit the bar from outside the box that was really it, wouldn’t say anyone stood out scrappy game but will take the three points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Smacked the bar 3 times and had other chances, while Albion went close with a glancing header past the far post. Overall a deserved win and nice to finally beat Albion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenLoyal Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Playing Swann anywhere on the left hand side for us brings so much more balance to the side. His lovely through ball led to the penalty.A win is a win but should have been more comfortable. Fair fucks to the small number of AR fans that made the trip. Genuinely wish your team well. The number 10 that went off injured was a tidy player, made life easier for us after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he play well tonight? Just ran about a bit, as you said about him. He looks promising sometimes, but fails to deliver. Exactly like Renton. That was poor tonight. Looks like we have already given up. Our main tactic was lumping aimless balls forward to Renton, which he would simply lose time after time. Totally pointless. Or, we would play it wide to Mullen who would launch it at every opportunity and hope someone did something with it. Feel sorry for Albion. Playing like that they will be easily beaten by EK or Cove.

onecowden Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Kevin Harper has some interesting points to make on the Rovers twitter feed. He says one of our players should have been sent off (I’m guessing Henvey) for a second booking. He also said we weren’t a threat apart from the needless penalty. We hit the woodwork 3 times. I suppose you could say they were off target and therefore not a threat. I do hope Rovers stay up, or anyone that finds themselves in the dreaded relegation playoff.

Buchanan had a decent game last night as he did second half on Saturday. Won the penalty, hit the bar and had another good run just after - if he'd gone down then it would have been another penalty. Renton played well last night as well. Ran himself into the ground and chased everything - didn't give the defenders a moments peace. He flicked on so many balls but no one was gambling to get on the end of them. He is everything that Sheerin is not, a handful. 34 minutes ago, onecowden said: Kevin Harper has some interesting points to make on the Rovers twitter feed.

Johnny Harvey was at the game last night. Maybe he gave Harper some tips on post match interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt Buchanan put the effort in last night, but I still think he is far too wasteful though. He seems to hesitate just enough for the chance to go a-begging. He did have a good effort later, but just too high. The one that hit the bar was a deflection, but again it doesn't go in. You don't get a bonus point for almost scoring. As for Renton, I don't mind him, but I think he is way too wasteful. Allan is always harrying the defenders and makes them panic. Renton shuffles up when it is too late with no real intention of putting in a proper challenge and the defender simply plays it past him. Allan runs himself into the ground. Renton certainly doesn't. Renton mostly loses possession and flicking on balls when there is nobody there is a complete waste of time. There was one attack when the ball was fired in Renton's direction and I think it was Henvey coming in from the left. All Renton had to do was head over the only defender into Henvey's path. Instead, he does what he always does and simply heads it forward straight to the keeper. Even Usain Bolt would not have reached it in time. Playing with tactics like last night will get us nowhere fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
