CoveRangers1922 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bring Your Own Socks said: 65% possession from Cove. Can't recall anything close to that before. We huffed and puffed and every one was willing but countless poor short passes and the wind lottery meant we gave away possession far too much. Rangers toiled with the wind too in the second but our high pressing start, which was working, wasn't sustained and all but disappeared after the second goal. Both wing pairings were dysfunctional again and we were outmuscled all over the park in all positions bar defence. It's deja vu for Mark but Cove had the strength but much more guile than any of last year's top four. First goal was fluky but it was in the right area to be lucky. Second and third both fast and direct with great finishes. Better team won. We're definitely going to struggle unless someone turns up for goalscorer. No such concerns for the singing section though. What appeared to be an oversized bus shelter in fact turned out to be a loudhailer. Almost as good as TNS. MotM: Jamieson Singing and support from QP fans was loud and impressive and made for a good atmosphere Edited August 31, 2019 by CoveRangers1922 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps but it does make you wonder about some of the decisions the larger clubs make and I mean that for many of the players at a lower level not just Coves. Some of the ‘big clubs’ signings don’t seem to have the work rate or desire that these players show or the shift they put in.Maybe just by signing for a larger club players think they’ve made it and get lazy ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Links well with Harry who I completely agree is quality. Such an attacking full back who can score goals but can also defend resolutely.

bridgeofweirdo Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Best team won . We never really got going and I feel that we showed them too much respect and right from the off looked like we were there for a draw at best. Still on this showing I reckon Cove must be in with a real shout of winning the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly we’ve never lost a league match at this ground we totally respect all the big clubs that come visiting including your good club.None of the Cove support think the league is in the bag we’re just doing what we do we’re the under dogs but believe we have something to offer this league. Next week Wales lets hope we can do the division proud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time you see complaints about plastic pitches is after defeats. We train on one as well. Already pretty much convinced that Cove will win the title. If they're in any danger of not doing so, I suspect the cheque book will be brought out in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Username With Mo In It Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Well done Cove, You're doing the north east proud. Keep it going and hopefully we can play you guys in League 1 next season. (If we can stay up!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Next two will start to give us a real idea of where we really are as a team. Rovers and Cowdenbeath at home are games you need to be winning if you're going to push for top four. It's been a decent start and not many teams will get anything at Cove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove are the big spenders in the league and it showed in the quality they had yesterday. Look at Stirling Albion. They brought in a lot of players, invested a fair amount in their team and sit bottom on no points. I expect their manager is dreading his next talk with the Chairman. The pressure now is enormous with relegation to the Lowland League. I am an advocate of going professional. It doesn't guarantee success! It brings even more pressure. Oncee done, failure is not an option! Mark has a one hell of a job to do. He has to keep the Club with no money in the league until such time as we have a fighting chance of competing on equal terms.

Some players however need refocussed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1867 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Not buying this "just looking to survive" from Cove - if they are after anything but first I'd be amazed. Nice tidy wee ground as well - ringed with adverts, the sort of ground we should be aiming for at Lesser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your kidding the ground is horrible, just a flat piece of ground plastered in Hoardings. if you actually want to see the game, you can pay £2 to sit in the stand with a large group of alcohol fuelled corporates with no clue about football. i see the crowd was 200 down on when we played them which is strange. They will win the league as well financed but a welcome addition to the spfl, ? Not for me. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
