I understand it's easy to say don't sign those 3 and use that 3s wages and sign that target we missed out on who went for an extra 50 quid a week but it genuinely don't work like that. Maybe we have players playing for very little or free... a lot of clubs have that eg expenses only for example. I agree that things are not that easy. You also do a cracking job with regards to negotiating and promoting Cowden to potential targets. I am concerned that a few players that were identified as being the future of the team are already leaving. Hopefully the youngsters left can be nurtured correctly and make progress. Would like to see loan players that are making little difference to not be involved. Rb Bisland from Dundee Utd will surely miss out when Alfie is back. Crucial game tomorrow. Boys will hopefully be up for it. Well done to Junction boys for showing an amazing support again with hospitality. Remember to pop in to the club shop tomorrow and start some early xmas shopping (or personal shopping ) C'mon the Silky! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players who we all had high hopes for sadly didn't perhaps fulfill their potential I think the club were pushed to signing 20 players in such a short short space of Time. Constantly trying to improve things so for example ruddy is an improvement on mcgready for me. Davo is an improvement. Stuart love improvement. The lads leaving are not bad players and not bad lads simply wasn't going to play as much as they or we had hoped. That's football. Recruitment has to be better and things are being put in place to do this for short and long term. Loan players are young players too and part of that same process. Alfie not far away but too soon for tomorrow I think. The boys should be up for every game. Wednesday was an unacceptable performance they know that. Performances up until Wednesday had 100% been improving. Let's hope for a reaction tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit off the pace at times, particularly when we are not in possession. Disappointed since his first game. Again that is only my opinion. Just think loan players are not required if building a team with no chance of promotion. Might as well develop own players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would mark Love down as an improvement, he’s the sort of guy we needed with experience of the non leagues. As you say Ruddy and Davo are improvements, also Slaven. Off the loan signings Gilmartin has been the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just concerned how often he is caught out and left behind as lacks pace. Hopefully can form a partnership with Lucas who is mobile and can compliment each other. Just shows the difference in quality from tier 7 to 5. He scored 30 odd goals from midfield for Oakley and Sinky also ran riot. Slaven has potential. Just needs to stay onside.

Sinky was actually a level below last season. Love has been a big loss for Oakley this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowdenleith Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) Congrats to @NELLY 1 on the appointment, you have quite the wide ranging role. And to the others as well, hopefully take the club forward in different ways (sorry if Craig and/or Alex post on here and I’m not aware, sure a lot of you know them) Edited September 30, 2022 by Cowdenleith 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY 1 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Thanks cowdenleith. I don't want to go into too much but my hope and plan is to do as much fan engagement as possible and keep fans up to date and speed as much as possible it's healthy that loyal fans have clarity and information. With this in mind I made a proposal to offer a monthly meeting at Central park which will begin soon where fans/shareholders/club 135 members or supporters clubs can meet and i will discuss a wide variety of topics as I'm sure will a Director or 2 about other areas of the football Club. I don't particularly like posting this on here but I know it's a good platform to get information out. So once the announcement is made for the monthly meeting I do look forward to seeing people. The wide ranging role I shall take on is a huge task and everything I do is always for the good of the club. A club I have been watching from 8 years old and studying teams/players. The club means everything as it does to so many others. Fans ideas and proposals is vital the club welcome it. I welcome it and if fans wish to discuss anything with me directly it won't be hard to get in contact. We all want success we all want our team to win but being a cowden fan for a long long time is the toughest gig in British football almost. I salute every one of us. Mon the cowden. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs evolve through time and it’s good to have someone like Nelly who is quite young , who will have different thoughts on doing things. Craig has been a long term supporter and sponsor and Alex is really good with engaging with the community stuff. Good luck to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
