That's me out of names but I don't claim to have a huge knowledge of the players at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Just going back a few posts and the comments aimed at players during the game/s from the manager. Some coaches are good coaches but awful managers. Many coaches can work with any age group, however some coaches are great at youth level but can't translate that to an age group that might be able to challenge their perspective of the game, and they crumble in that environment. And with the Cowden manager's previous record, and acriminous split from his last employees, it doesn't feel good to think that it was a misjudged appointment at the time - possibly out of desperation on both sides - and now Maurice, despite the handicaps of Cowden's current position (which incidentally has little to do with him where the club has ended up), it seems the 'boss' has been found out. Hopefully the team can get over the line this season and not finish in those bottom two positions, and reevaluate things in the summer. Because despite the man's intentions to play a youthful and hungry side at the start of the season, if he treats his players like we've previously heard then the Coos are doomed if he stays beyond the end of the year Edited September 29, 2022 by Drifter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mchugh could only dream of being at Stewart and Hemmings level anyway, prime or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadfoot played almost every Championship game for a decent ICT side last season though so could probably still do a job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Gary Fraser who caught the eye in that game though. Never getting a game in the Cowden championship side mind you. Half the reason he looked good was because of the opposition!

Gary Fraser gets in the team ahead of Declan Hughes or Sammy Stewart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe both the franchises in the Scottish League will go bust and save Cowden.. Spoiler The franchises being L********n and FC E*******h although A*****e probably count too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I've been to a few Stirling Uni games this season (they often play on Sundays and I have nothing else to do!!) Was at their home game against Broomhill. Stirling won 3-0. Comfortably. Broadfoot was 2nd best all game to the big number 9 up front for the Uni (alas, I don't know any of their names). So if Broadfoot could be considered Championship level then that lad would be worth a punt. And he wasn't their best player on that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen Cowden Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Sounds like an absolute arsehole.Doesn’t make sense. Surely the worst thing that you can do is slag off your own players. Were there no directors there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Doesn’t make sense. Surely the worst thing that you can do is slag off your own players. Were there no directors there?Most of them including the main man. They were sat at the back of the stand directly behind the manager so would have heard what was said clearly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the assistant manager has a bit of input in player recruitment as well, as he has been involved in lower leagues previously so knows abit more about some of the players than Ross will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY 1 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Of course the manager has the final say in signings. Don't think any manager at this level or even most levels would accept any different. The player he signed who he told u have 2 mins or your off simply wasn't following instructions and what was worked on at training. The club of course has a large squad so likely move one or two on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain it so a simpleton like me can understand? My understanding is that it’s pretty much like @monthecoo said; One team will be relegated from the Lowland League, unless the Highland League team wins the overall play off against the bottom League 2 team, if that happens two teams will be relegated from the Lowland League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
