big al Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Liked the look of 7. The right back was decent enough, different right back from Tuesday (he was also decent on the ball on). The team is more effective going forward on the right. Felt the left side of the team struggled. The 2 forward were quiet and the defence badly needs a leader at centre half who is solid and commanding and organises. 10 was ok for a first game.

HenryHill Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Listened to some of Sportsound earlier. One guy was talking about what a great example Bonnyrigg are to the league. One of the others chipped in saying the pyramid system was fantastic and referenced FC Edinburgh and Elgin as the teams racing up the pyramid I moan when they just talk about the old firm, but then maybe its for the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Fck me the knowledge that the so called expert pundits have of the lower leagues is embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Elgin have just been there for 22 years when the pyramid was still in Egypt. At least if your going to talk about something you don’t know about do some research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iateallthepies Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Best I would say, keeper from Partick, Thomson at right back, Newman at left back, Robinson at centre back Struthers in midfield Sinclair and Akhamenzie up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you they are probably the best of the bunch would add in Berry as well. Not a great squad overall but you were never going to sign 19 or so young boys who would be up to the task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeen Cowden Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 If we had more street wise players we could do the same to refs, welcome to non league football. Out of interest as their all new who would you say are our best players. I would stick my neck out and say the trialist 10 was our best player today. Players going down every time they lost the ball. Constantly feigning injury. Too streetwise for the Cowden lads. Two free kicks at the edge of the box, both hit sky high. Not good.Played really well at times. You just knew that if we hadn’t lost a goal in open play, the opposition would have been given a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Gala were ok today, but that was a real missed opportunity to get 3 points, never mind 1. Gala were good upfront, but pretty poor at the back and we didn't capitalise on the opportunity. We had no threat upfront ourselves. Aikamhenze should be starting no matter what the issues are. If we play like that against the likes of East Kilbride, then we will be destroyed. We are basically looking to outdo Dalbeatie, Cumbernauld and Gretna for fourth bottom spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be expected given it was their first game and they have 500 season tickets, Kelty got 1200 at theirs. The lower crowds in Fife will be in part due to it being in the middle of the traditional holiday and in our case a poor run and a team with almost no away support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gala are a traditional mid table side. Yes we should have had something from the game but two bad defensive errors on our part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 464 against Broomhill on Tuesday which would have been quite a few neutrals. Can say Kelty’s crowd was down because people are on holiday, but it’s pretty poor when they can’t get more than 439 for flag day! Anyway the neutrals were missing today from our crowd of 170 but we also have some fans on holiday I’m sure! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty on neutrals to see our first game in the LL and to see the novelty of the revamped Broomhill. Down to the bare bones today virtually not away fans but some, others will have been on holiday and no doubt some just pissed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badly missing a commanding centre half. Hopefully Martins? Sinclair looked off the pace and touch was poor. Maybe rushes back a bit quick? Oh well, always next game. Sinclair was playing in a pub league last year, quite literally the lowest level of senior football possible. Always thought he would struggle playing against proper defenders at this level 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the boy today he was a bit off the pace but has been out for a fortnight . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
