rhliston 144 Report post Posted August 28 (edited) Well we travel to Coatbridge on Saturday in the search of our first points of the season after 4 looses on the trot by a single goal. The thought running thru most Binos fans is can we get something on Saturday or will we be looking at 5 straight defeats in the row. ? Always a difficult place to get points and the Rovers have had a decent start to the season but lost last weekend to Brechin at home 1-0 so that hopefully gives us some hope we might get something. Need to get points on the board and not let too big a gap develop between ourselves and teams above us if we want to have any chance of doing something this season. Prediction Albion Rovers 1 Binos 2 😉 Edited August 28 by rhliston 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperCowden 6 Report post Posted August 28 Looks interesting game and could definitely shape the form of both sides , seems Albion were unlucky against Brechin, so their confidence might have dropped with that late Cove equaliser and loss at weekend, Stirling might be fired up and looking to get 3 points , I'll go narrow Stirling win, Duffy with winner 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperCowden 6 Report post Posted August 28 Saying that , I think I just like the set up at Stirlijg, tho this season I don't think the manager sounds. As believable and didn't recruit well , is Nichol doing well since he signed from Clyde? I like him as player but seems he wasn't as popular with the Clyde fans as I thought , 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First captain to lead us to promotion since 2000 after all. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperCowden 6 Report post Posted August 28 Yeah I think I seen a few saying it was. A quicker tempo when he wasn't in the side , I like him also , good old fashioned type midfielder , I thought Stirling would have started season better but still early days 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has been the type of player we needed in midfield for the last couple of seasons a no nonsense type midfielder who upsets the opposition. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperCowden 6 Report post Posted August 28 Aye he’s definitely that type of player and can put in some serious tackles . Good luck this weekend . Will be good game I think 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh? You won five-nil at Cliftonhill last season after one of our players made an arse of himself, needlessly getting himself dismissed in the first half. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would take a scrappy 1-0 win to give us the points. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperCowden 6 Report post Posted August 30 Interesting . I didn’t know he was with Albion Rovers in past. I quite like him as player but seems he gets mixed opinions on his general play . With teams he’s played for 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperCowden 6 Report post Posted August 30 I don't think my money would be on Nicholl to score hat trick tommorow lol, hes a low budget Scott Brown type, loves a strong tackle to win posession back, I think both sides will be looking to get the 3 points tommorow, Outside of the Cowden game (not expecting exciting game, would take a scrappy win), i would say Albion vs Stirling and Elgin vs Edinburgh City are the ties of the weekend in the division, could go either way both games. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
