Thought we've just missed that ruthlessness in front of goal the last 2 and half games. It cost us a few points but we've avoided losses so I guess that's the positive. In fact we potentially haven't looked like losing any of the last 3. Last 15 minutes against Airdrie was the only threat Big game for us this weekend. Really need to grind out a win. A draw minimum and I think that's how it might go. We'd then need to look at winning our next 3, Alloa (a), Peterhead (h), Clyde (h) Yeah, a minor wobble, but a wee wobble nonetheless. Still on an unbeaten run so no illusions on this end that the bottles have completely crashed, but it did very much feel that Airdrie finished the stronger side in that game and looked the only team that was going to get a winner in the last quarter of the game. That we have gone and pumped Montrose whilst Cove failed to beat ten men, cutting the gap further, cranks up the pressure a wee bit, so it will be telling how Cove respond. A return to winning ways against Falkirk would hand the momentum back to the league leaders, for sure. As it stands, they have stalled a bit with the three draws. Big, big game for Cove, one that I'll definitely have an eye on for obvious reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TedCrilly Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I reckon Cove will be too strong for us on Saturday. A midfield of Yule, Fyvie and Vigurs should dominate the game with the front two not being as wasteful as Sammon last week. Tbh, if Cove want to win the league, they should be comfortably beating mid table sides at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 2-2 for me, we're capable of scoring goals now but equally capable of conceding a fair few with our defensive mishaps. I too think Cove's midfield will be too strong for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) I'd definitely be slotting Dixon back in for this one given ATS hasn't really impressed so far. Hopefully Morrison is fit enough for the bench. I'd stick Mills back in as well just because McKay is always liable to McKay, especially up against someone like Megginson. McGuffie isn't the answer to our midfield problems but given he scored and set one up against Alloa, I can't see him being dropped.

We definitely missed an opportunity to take 3 points against a 10 men QP side on Saturday and Airdrie impressively took care of Montrose. The pressure now mounts a bit more as you rightly say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, of course, we'll have signed a Liam Craig by then and the question won't arise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbri Bairn Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Excited/scared about this one. Be interesting what our line up is . Big worry is our poor midfield. Cove have a few seasoned pros in midfield which could be our weakest link. Forget midfield and just punt it up to the strikers is the best plan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine was at their game last week and said they were poor especially in midfield where he thought Vigors legs have gone Fair assessment of our performance from your mate. We never moved it quick enough and it was far from our best home performance as of late although never looked like conceding. Previous week against Airdrie was better. We were slow in midfield last week as Blair was playing wide right as Logan was out. CM was 3 defensively minded midfielders and QP camped in their own half after going down to 10 men. Vigurs has never been blessed with pace and his lack of it frustrates me. He plays sitting midfielder / quarterback. Blair is our legs and Fyvie is our composed CM who keeps the ball moving. Fyvie can do everything Vigurs can and more but latter is Hartley's golden child. Vigurs has some physicality and reads the game well but I'm not his biggest fan as you can tell. We're short of a outright AM / number 10. Edited February 19, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Hoping for the best today but we have to stop inviting teams onto us. Cove will take the chances Alloa couldn't. Interesting to see what he goes for up front. Hoping Kabia not pushed out wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
