CoveRangers1922 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Could this be a title crowning day? Unlikely it must be said and I fully expect the title race to at least go to next weekend or even the final game. Alloa have turned a corner under Brian Rice and have become harder to beat. 1 defeat in 5, that being one of the most bizarre finishes to a match since the Dumbarton vs Airdrie encounter early in the season. Cove will welcome being at home after a run of 4 successive away fixtures which we've managed to get through undefeated. Mitch should return to the starting lineup, however, Rory who has 5 in his last 3 against Alloa might miss out after going off after 10 minutes at TFS. He was wearing a boot and using crutch after the game so not looking promising. It could mean Fyvie plays alongside Mitch but that was a disaster at the Recs. Hopefully we give Ola a start as Leighton or Leitch aren't close to good enough. Harry Milne is looking a class above and improving each month. A lot of our good play will undoubtedly come through him on the left side. Expecting a tough game like the previous encounter. Ticket prices reduced and with the Dons not playing the crowd could be more substantial than usual Edited April 12, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie on a Roll Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Looking forward to this game. Thought we were unlucky in our last meeting with Cove and the first half in that game was probably the best we have played all season. Cove have been grinding out results in past weeks, however I think when you are eventually crowned champions, it will be well deserved. I guess our aim now is to finish in the lofty heights of 5th, which certainly seemed unobtainable a couple of months back. Hopefully MacIver starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing gravie Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 A lot will depend on Henderson on Saturday. If he turns up to just west the jersey, he should be benched to allow Cawley to start. Should get something from this if we aren't as wasteful in front of goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cawley always looks lively and capable of making something happen. Henderson, I was hugely impressed with the first few games but seems to have tailed off a bit and work-rate is questionable. How do you see his career panning out? Out of contract in the summer right? I wonder if Hearts will give him more time or if he'll move on and if so would he get a gig in the Championship or L1 Edited April 12, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands he has a lot of work to do if he wants to make it at that level. I'd definitely bench him for this week, hasn't brought nearly enough to the team in recent weeks. I was quietly confident that we could upset Cove here but our level has dropped a bit the last couple of games. I'm hoping that now we're pretty much safe the team will have a go at Cove, an approach that worked well in the last game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a big year for him certainly, he'll need to excel to get a further contract with Hearts I'd imagine or else he'll be hunting for a new club. Undoubtedly got talent, searing pace and can finish. Alloa definitely safe in my opinion. Expecting a competitive game. The first half at the Recs Alloa came out hot and we looked as poor positionally and defensively as I've seen us all season but a big part was down to the home side looking impressive. I'm expecting a bit more composure on the ball this time, tracking runners and tighter all round in defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definitely something the manager needs to think about. I still think hes our most dangerous threat in the final third- but when hes not scoring (and he hasnt been prolific recently) questions do tend to be asked of him. I like the setup of the front 3 with Henderson and MacIver either side of Sammon, but in that setup we do need him to do a bit more. The suggested replacement of Cawley inevitably puts a lot more craft in there. Boyd also frustrated me a bit last week. Has ability, and definitely contributes to the team positively- just gives the ball away a bit too much for me. I want to love him as a player, but its just that wee Achilles heel of losing possession too often. Id be tempted to stick with Henderson for the potential threat, but could completely understand if he was benched and introduced later in the game. Also think we may play with a bit more of a solid shape this Saturday, so Henderson may make way for the likes of Sena or even Riley-Snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I'd like to see Boyd in that role with Sammon and MacIver if that's the shape we go with. The best football I've seen from us under Rice (in fact the best I've seen all season apart from the ten minute Trouts cameo against Celtic) was the first half against Cove with Sammon and Boyd up top and linking with Scougall. Henderson should be able to do it very well but doesn't. I'd definitely like to see Sena come into midfield. Playing so many attacking players can certainly be entertaining but it can leave us very vulnerable in the middle of the park. Robertson and Sena together would be a good shout in this game IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
