As I said in pre season and cup games alarm bells are ringing at the amount of games we concede 3 and fail to score. I was quite encouraged with the Premier Cup games I saw, created a number of good chances at Edinburgh in particular. Away on holiday at the moment so not at games, but tonight would seem to be the one real major disappointment so far, but I’d caveat that by saying that a lot of people were tipping the podcast team to be up near the top and are clearly a decent team. I was impressed by Daniel Martins before he got hurt, him missing is definitely having an impact on the defence. Does anyone have any idea how long he and Scott Sinclair are likely to be out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a real shame just when you want your team to do well in front of a decent attendance. Not many will be going back if this is the norm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 It's another trio of goals conceded for Cowd3nb3ath - wow! Maurice Ross continues to do a really compelling job, and I for one think his management continues to be just fantastic. Just look how hard the boys are running Interesting result elsewhere at Shielfield Park tonight, where an experienced Berwick side showed just how to beat Celtic B. Take note, lads! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Cowdenbeath fans need to be realistic. Injuries or no injuries, a team of reject kids aren't going to be competing with the likes of this Open Goal mob anytime soon. Watson, Cook, Broadfoot, Semple, Conroy the list goes on these are a quality of player that Cowdenbeath can only dream of in their current circumstances. You're in for a long, suffering season with plenty of beat downs so just need to get behind the team or hit the lager even harder. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority were neutrals few boys I know that are pars and kelty. Broomhills 3 goals went in and only the bench and the 10 fans in the coo shed celebrated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it is a reasonable excuse when the squad was so small in the first place, and two key players are missing so early in the season. I hope the fans stick with it, it could well be a long season, but there’s nothing else for it is there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossilYM Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Early days yet. Maybe a bit over optimistic on my part thinking Cowdenbeath might bounce back first time round. No danger of relegation of course because the ex boys clubs and Uni teams have still to be weeded out. Long term the LL will be Senior league drop outs and ex Junior teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vimto90 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Even I have to admire the continued optimism but at what point does the board make the move on Ross. Beggars belief. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 As mentioned a lot of our boys arn't strong enough. Being honest never really expected anything tonight OGB have assembled a decent squad and will be challengers for the title. Just got to hope that things get better once the injured players are back. Re the number of OGB fans there were around 60 of them had bought online tickets so I heard, probably quite a lot of neutrals there as well for the novelty of seeing our first home game in the LL. I would have been more confident when playing Gala on Saturday but I see they beat CSS on their own patch so they maybe arn't that bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigiemack Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I dont really know if Ross has any credit in the bank from last year but I was instantly alarmed by the squad he assembled. This is a physical league where every team is well drilled and can be hard to break down. If your teams heads drop after this start it could be a long, old season. I think yous are all feeling a bit down because you maybe set your expectations a bit too high but realistically you have played two teams that will be at the top end of the league. Maybe the manner of defeat is the worry. In a parallel universe you might've started with Edinburgh Uni and Gretna and be sitting top of the table tonight. There's a long way to go but I would certainly be getting worried if you don't pick up some wins in your next couple games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big games after that against Dalbettie, Edinburgh Uni, and Gretna. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PELE Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 You have to be brutally honest and realise that we are where we should be, toiling at the bottom end of the table. We were never going to challenge at the top end of the table with the team we now have. Unless there are any significant changes, which is unlikely, then the best we can realistically hope for is finishing third or fourth bottom. If anyone thinks different, then they are in for a rude awakening. I hope we can improve going forward, but you have to be realistic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Took game in last night and thought Cowden were well off the pace and physicality in the game , offered nothing up top which has to be alarming as even the uni teams can pull off results on their day , would be a tad worried at the moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
