Have I missed something? The last 2 or 3 seasons, we’ll really since we beat the Pars in the play off been a downward spiral since I guess those you mentioned are just pissed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any scope to recall him and give him a chance off the bench?Let’s be honest we’re crying out for anyone to put the ball in the net. Chris seems to normally be a sub for Rosyth and I’m sure I noticed he’s scored a few goals coming off the bench. I know I’m in a minority of about one on this thread, and appreciate he is at a team at a lower level, but I’d give just about anything a go at the moment.

Signed: Chris Aikhamenze fan club I was at the Rosyth v St Andrews game last midweek. Chris Aikhamenze on the bench for Rosyth. Came on in second half and looked disinterested and out of his depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen Cowden Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 On another note - when we played both Rangers and Celtic, the keepers passed the ball to a defender and started their attacks from there. Yet we persist with hoofing the ball up the park and as often as not give the ball to the opposition. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always been (d)rossball as far as I can remember. 2 CMs isn't really enough to control the midfield in the modern game and our wide players are usually just full backs anyway. Hopefully the next gaffer implements a 3-5-2/5-3-2 to get that potential out ball in the system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Edinburgh University played themselves into trouble doing just that whilst Celtic weren’t that good at it for first 15 minutes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone back when the opposition get a corner? You can always get pressed depends on quality of players, opposition, pitch, weather at our level how well you can deploy playing it out from back. All back at corners - doesn’t bother me in the slightest as commonplace nowadays. Just one option 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowdenleith Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I wasn’t holding up much hope of Saturday being on at Galashiels with the low temps. Until looking at wiki just now I didn’t realise that the football ground at Netherdale is artificial, so should be good to go presumably.

Currently zero degree in Galashiels, not predicted to get above 3/4. Frost covered Astro can be dangerous, so guessing the game could be in doubt, hope not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I was young and probably before that Cowdenbeath is full of folk who like to moan about things. Most negative place on the planet. I’m not bothered about Saturday’s result as I never expected us to win. More bothered about this Saturday against Gala. All just wishing they lived in Kelty the be fair on a serious note it's been a big transitional period for Cowden this season , I think if you'd have kept that squad from last season or most of you would be top 3/4 minimum , too much change this season to expect anything other than what's happened and some signings I've heard have been atrocious, hope it all starts coming good and best of luck for today Gala got some pretty decent players in their team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowdenleith Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Anyone heading down? Just getting the train myself from Newcraighall in a little while as my daughter was just back from school camp yesterday, had a game this morning so is knackered, and the missus was quite happy to stay home as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowdenleith Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 This place is great and they are playing ‘Someone, Somewhere in Summertime’ by Simple Minds, probably my favourite Minds song. Hope the game is as good as the pre match 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
