Hauftimedraw Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Back to league action today and three points is a must to keep in touch at the top. Hopefully cut out some of the disastrous mistakes at the back which seem almost our trademark this season. Will predict that rarest of things, a home win at Galabank! 1-0 will do me. Expecting it to be busy round Galabank with people wanting to see where the Blue Bridge has gone now that the rain has stopped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 All these years of going and I didn't know there was a bridge at the back of Galabank. Might be a bad time to be playing Cowden. Off the back of a defeat to Strollers and with the manager gone they'll likely raise their game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 It will be interesting to see how Harvey Swann plays now that Bollan and his team have gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailorcowden Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Reckon there will be a rise of effort here. Surely can't play as bad as we did against Stenhousemuir and CSS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY 1 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Effort was there but to b honest we never had any ooomph until we went a goal behind. The players are lacking in belief and confidence big time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iateallthepies Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 So much for fresh ideas. Started with the same team as last week. First half was brutal from both sides. After we went behind Hutton came on for Bobby Barr and we suddenly sprung to life.. we were better side for the rest of the game but couldn't find a way through. Swinglehurst won every high ball, a rock for them.If Todd is fit wouldn't mind seeing O'Connor in midfield, think it might solve some of our problems 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by this comment I assume Mahady and Coulson looked to offer something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subs coming on made a difference at least McGurn seen the starting XI wasn’t working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauftimedraw Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 That was a grim watch yesterday , for both sets of fans. Annan were pretty much toothless in attack although played some neat passing football down the flanks then running out of steam. Thought Moxon was MOM and everything was coming through him. After we scored we sat back and invited Cowden to attack and they were probably worth a draw so a good three points in the end. Best for Cowden was their No9 but lacked service. The No5 definitely in need of anger management therapy! Final point - attendance of 187. Abysmal. Can only hope for a better turn out next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw the goal, camera pointing somewhere else. The commentary was comedy gold - again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell has happened to Annan’s support a crowd of 187 (with around 15 Cowden fans). Your 4th in the league so how’s the drop happened. It wasn’t if you were competing with much locally - Queens away, Carlisle away and only Gretna at home to VOL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV streaming is very good and the commentaries excellent although I've been able to get to games again. The Annan offering is poor but better than nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why we can’t attract more supporters to Galabank. We’ve got the strongest squad we’ve had for a long time and should at least make the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
