Who are the 2 contrarians you speak of? I think most of the fans are a bit concerned with where the clubs end goal is with the numerous repetitive sign and release method. Let’s be honest Cove are not a very attractive club for any player to go to. Poor facility, poor fan base, a real lack of leadership. I can see the club slowly following the likes of Edinburgh City sooner or later

Hopefully the game is better than the process of buying tickets on the website, terrible!

Wow that was a hard watch. Dunfermline looked far better and fitter than we did, maybe that’s to be expected? Only Scully really had pass marks for me, perhaps Blair too based on second half. Fyvie and Vigurs look really poor as did Reynolds and Neill. But as you say it’s Orr season but would definitely need at least 5 strong signings

Those are easily the best we’ve had for a while!

Would agree with most of the points here. Cove only deserved the win based on the fact we have a striker that can put the ball into the net. Montrose dominated second half and would have deserved an equaliser if they had a half decent striker. Our keeper wasn’t tested enough. Montrose, Falkirk and Queens only teams I’ve seen come to Balmoral and actually have a go. I’d like to see Montrose go up. Cove are grinding out results but I can definitely see a bad run coming. An injury to Mitch and we’ll eventually crumble

Ola will surely be away. Problem with Hartley is he takes in so many players and expects them to shine, doesn’t really have time to help them develop. Apart from Glass, how many players could you say we’ve taken on Loan and they’ve went back a better player? Maybe Ross Graham too

Heard from a Dundee United fan that Mark Reynolds is on his way to Cove in January

Agreed I think Montrose were the better team and should be disappointed not to have taken any of their chances. we were fortunate to come away with a point having only had 1 real good opportunity. montrose are a really good team though

I’d definitely like to see that, but I also worry with who we’d put out on wings? Masson and Ola? Robertson? Has Jevan Anderson even put on a Cove shirt yet? wasn’t at the game today but have heard we played really well

Not really productive, it felt like we were talking to a politician Sheran thinks Hartley can take us all the way to the premier league Claims he doesn’t know why Stewart was dropped (not believing that) Won’t be overturning our bans as he isn’t convinced we won’t be negative

Not quite sure what he’s hoping to achieve from it, we are just fans with strong opinions!

Sheran was a far superior manager, he cared about the players, the fans and the youth. He installed a “anything less than a win is unacceptable” attitude and that made the players play with urgency and desire, something is lacking nowadays. We seem happy enough with draws etc

I can confirm they have blocked myself and Craig and we are both meeting John Sheran on Wednesday evening

When was our last clean sheet? I’m absolutely baffled Gourlay continues to play in goal

Swap Gourlay with McKenzie and I’d say that’s our best team

Good team, albeit McIntosh but I guess there isn’t much else to replace him with, one Masson is fully fit then swap them two and that should probably be our starting team going forward

Ahree, recruitment continues to be poor, or that our manager is incapable of getting the best out of them? Surely all these signings can’t be bad players Gourlay is horrendous, we could end up being a load of points away from the top after a few weeks if he continues to play in goal. I think Fyvie plays well if he’s confident of the team selection? same with Mitch, bad for letting his aggression take over and gives up easily when it’s not going his way I’ve got a bad feeling it’s going to be W long season

I’m glad to see Hartley is getting questioned by more fans now on Facebook. Didn’t watch the game today, went up to Broch

Don’t worry it is a concern already

Think Hartley wants Gourlay as number 1! the problem was, he brings on Scully and then plays him left wing? Was he too scared to sub Draper/Vigurs?

Was just away to say I thought we were very fortunate to get a point there. Lovely finish from Rory though. Besides that, their keeper has had nothing to do and I think Falkirk should be disappointed they didn’t get the 3 points today, they look a lot fitter and faster than us. New keeper is awful, he has no confidence in crosses.

No not at the game, got tickets for the Caley one so hopefully there will be an improved performance. I think last season we didn’t play well in this cup either

Sorry just noticed this, but yeah definitely think we need a quality striker in case Mitch gets injured. But also think Vigurs/Draper will add goals which is something we missed when Masson/Milne got injured Finally some good signings though! Perhaps need another strong centre back and forward and I’d be feeling confident of a great season
