Tenkay Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Our friends from Elgin City face the long trip down to Edinburgh on Saturday, for a league 2 match between two teams in good form at present. Elgin are flying just now with 5 good wins in succession and will provide a tough test here for us at Ainslie park. Edinburgh City are decent as well just now but will need to sharpen up and play a bit better than last week if we're to get the vital three points here. Very tough game for us and would be delighted with any win. Edited November 8, 2019 by Tenkay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 E=mc2 is energy equals mass times the speed of light. Here we have EC v EC which is EC2 Therefore the formula must be EC2=m where E = entertainment, C = the c*ntishness of the referee and m equals a definite home win. Got that. Good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoveRangers1922 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Looking forward to seeing how this game goes tomorrow (whilst freezing at Balmoral Park).Should be a belter! Elgin are one of the form teams in the league currently and with Sutherland,Hester and Omar they have goalscorers. Edinburgh City at home are extremely strong and possess so much attacking strength. Best game in the league this weekend without a shadow of a doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 A point gained or two dropped? Disappointed that City "only" drew at Ainslie Park after leading for so long. Perhaps a good sign on my part... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgin impressive on the counter attack. A comment from the crowd "that's the best Elgin have played in Edinburgh". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoveRangers1922 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I fancied Elgin for a win although I backed them for a 1-1 draw in the prediction post. be overtaking Cowden soon!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenkay Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 I was worried before kick-off once I saw the starting line-up for Edinburgh! I'm going to say McDonaugh has cost us any chance of a win today! Some poor players selected to start unfortunately, so a draw was not the worst thing. Elgin were decent, and won't have had a better chance of a win in Edinburgh recently. City (Edinburgh) were rubbish and need to get the finger out to maintain a place off position. No chance of catching Cove! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMonc Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Both teams looked to have legitimate goals disallowed, also thought we should have had a penalty for a foul on Shepherd in the 2nd half. We were very poor after a bright start and Elgin had by far the better of the game. Some dreadful individual performances with only McAdams, Balatoni, Cane and Harris (at a push) getting pass marks from those who started the game. Reserving most of the blame for the manager though, thought he got it totally wrong. The back 3 didn’t work and never looked like doing so, Sinclair is too soft and too careless with the ball to play centre mid, Kieran Stewart looked miles off the standard required (I get he’s been injured and was probably out of position) and our panicky hoofing of the ball up to Shepherd at every opportunity was incredibly frustrating. If we’re going to punt the ball into the sky we may as well have some physical presence to punt it toward. A lot of that is down to team selection. Final mention to the referee who must have thought he was getting paid by the whistle, the amount of times he blew that thing for no discernible reason whatsoever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with most of that Ally, except the goalie McAdams goal kick outs are brutal, mostly kicking it out of play and resulting in us being under pressure again. Why can't he just kick it straight down the middle like every other goalie does? You're a bit harsh on kieran Stewart as well. He's been out months and certainly wasn't the worst player!!! Step forward Liam Henderson....bombscare! Not good enough for us if we really want to push on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom & Gerry Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 No modern day keeper kicks it down the middle. They go either side of the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Well I ain't seen any other goalie constantly booting the ball out the side of the pitch for a throw in for the other team! Were you at Ainslie Park to know what I'm talking about?

Thom & Gerry Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 No, but most teams at our level if not playing out from the back set up at one side of the pitch and goalie accordingly kicks it to that side. Maybe your goalie is just crap at kicking! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
