onecowden Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Well. It was always going to be a difficult game. We need to wipe it and move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowdenleith Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Wasn’t there tonight, but looks like from the update ticker on my football app, it was pretty much one way traffic. Incredibly frustrating to lose another game to a late penalty. Not much consolation tonight, but the fact that we have not lost a goal from open play in 5 matches has to give encouragement. Looking forward to Friday, bring it on… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therewasacoo Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Couple of big opportunities missed and didn’t get best view of the penalty bud from what I saw didn’t think it should’ve been one but hopefully we win on Friday now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Sat in from the first minute and it almost gained a point. Architects of their own downfall with the penalty. That’s the 3rd game this season where Cowden could have got something from the game but ended up with nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and more than likely Harvey will get it tight. To be fair however, there was no out ball and if he went past his man the game would have opened up. Big Toddy shouldn't be diving in as well. Created very little but the team collectively maintained a good shape and limited Kelty to little chances. We also had a couple of good openings. Lots of optimism moving forward with regards to picking up points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Cowden had the best chances from open play. One in the first half and one in the second half. That's the second League 2 match I've watched in a row and in each game it's been decided by one player making an error of judgement to lose it for their team. Fraser Mullen and Craig Barr both looked decent enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just jockey the man and at least make him do something worthy of a goal. Really poor decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 You looked well organised but sat in far too deep the whole game , actually shit to watch as we struggled to break you down but will take the points 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 We didn't really have much of a say in sitting deep tonight. Kelty forced us into that. They are like a championship team compared to us. We went desperately close in the second half. Carty was a whisker away from knocking it over the line. Looked like it was going in until the last second. Harvey should have just launched the ball when he had the chance. No other real options. We may as well just launch it at every opportunity near the end. I like Toddy, but I am always worried that he will give away a penalty. I said to someone before kick off again. He is not quick enough to tackle the faster players. As Big Al said, just jockey them and make them create something. Don't dive in. Be a different game on Friday. We should have more of the play and create more chances. Hopefully we come away with a point or three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulliemc Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The players will be gubbed on Friday after that and Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Defend like that and you'll get a point or more from Ainslie Park on Friday. There was a great chance in the first half where the ball was blasted well over and I thought Cowden might escape with a point but the penalty was unfortunate. The Kelty player wasn't going anywhere in particular and it was a needless challenge I suppose. Odd thing was me (Edinburgh City) and a mate (Hibee) who were both neutral thought it was a penalty and the old Kelty guys next to me said "never a penalty"... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY 1 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Great heart and effort from the lads. They are really giving everything. I thought fergy in midfield was excellent and disciplined you can tell he will get better. Swanny was great and yeah he should have launched it but tried to dribble out and relieve pressure. There was action after it so the main mistake is after that 1. Hard to be critical. We created the best chance of the game with a great ball from mullen. And had a good chance first half. The lads shape and discipline in their shape is crazy good. Tough one to take but we go again friday. Players will need a good rest after that. I thought kelty looked ok. They didnt overly hurt us. If u open up they hurt you its really that simple. O ware is class. Get behind the lads this friday they will need it.

The Minertaur Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 5 games now without conceding a goal that wasn't a penalty. Maurice has done a tremendous job at making us a better unit. We have nothing to fear going forward. Even if we come 10th I'm relaxed about the play offs just now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there as a neutral too and looked a bit soft to me. Daft decision from the lad that tried to dribble out of defence rather than just clear his lines with a few minutes to go so the team can get back into shape. Put his team in all manner of trouble when he lost the ball so equally as culpable for me. The lad that was downed for the penalty had already been booked for diving (I think it was him anyway) so he was always going down at the slightest contact.. Two Kelty Cowdenbeath games I’ve been to this season. Both decided on a poor decision by a Cowdenbeath player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In situations like that I’m always in the clear the danger camp. Toddy was perhaps rash diving in with his tackle as the boy Max had been booked for simulation not long before, he was always going to go down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crowie Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 That’s one of the best organised defensive performances I’ve seen at NCP this season. Cowden were very hard to break down and it was always going to come from at set piece/dead ball if there was goal. Also thought youse had to best chances in the game, the skied one early first half and how the number 9 (?) doesn’t hit the target with the low header second half I will never know. If youse can stay that solid at the back and take chances I think youse will stay up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
