CoveRangers1922 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Saturday sees Cove make the short journey up the road to take on Peterhead in what is an eagerly awaited "derby" if you can call it that. I've subscribed to Peterhead TV for the game. Decent value at £10. Cove are coming off a 3-1 home win against East Fife and will be looking to secure back to back wins in L1. Not sure what to expect from Peterhead. A few on Through the Turnstiles tipped Peterhead to finish in the bottom two but clearly an accomplished win at Tanndice shows this might not be in the case. Fancy Mitch to get on the scoresheet again. Milne, Yule and Scully are looking solid for us already and Fyvie could return to the side. P.S - want McAllister back? Turning circle like the QE2 and looks like he's running in wet concrete. Peterhead got him in his peak where he was deadly. Does get the odd goal now but I reckon he'll be warming the bench for us most of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 We're decimated with injuries already, we're looking at a squad of 14 for Saturday. Still don't want McAllister back though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't want McAllister back though. That's not ideal on the injury front. Hopefully a few boys can return to fitness before Saturday and give you some kind of a squad. Rory just baffles me as to why Cove paid that amount of money for him and handed him such a long term deal. Will he be happy sitting on the bench or will he get itchy feet, who knows. I remember hearing rumours mid last season that we could be looking at a new striker and hoped it was Shane Sutherland who would have been a good bit of business but sadly we got Rory. Mitch is a deadly striker but apart from him we have Jordon Brown and Rory so quite light on options.

Having had both Sutherland and Rory in and out the club twice, take it from me that even Rory on the bench is better business than Sutherland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit i seen today reckons we could be down to a squad of 13 including two keepers, Layne is unknown. Regards to Cove have you given up on Leighton McIntosh already, we had him before & always thought he had potential, he is big & strong & was quick, where he used to let himself down was he tended to wait see what happened rather than anticipate what was going to happen. The season got off to a good start but Jim can only shuffle players around so much but we are missing important players in important positions. Could be backs to the wall we will just have to ride it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon 68 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 same old story, running with a small squad and picking up the usual injuries. hopefully we can get a couple of eager youngsters in to cover. I dare say Balmoor would have been packed on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big travelling Cove support and I think a few Dons fans would have been enticed to come along too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He' very quick and powerful like you say and can player winger or as a supporting striker to Mitch. LM will link well with Mitch and fancy both to get quite a lot of goals. Well hopefully you get a few players fit for Saturday and it's a good watch all around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another League 1 striker who you were trying to throw money at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The McAllister signing does look like it was almost entirely for patter purposes, which I am very much on board with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried telling a Cove fan on twitter that he really wasn't all that anymore when they signed him and he immediately started with the insults. Let me tell you, I'll have the last laugh when Cove release McAllister after he's hoovered about a million pounds off them and scored 15 goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueone Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Strong winds in Peterhead today although should ease a bit by kick off. One of those days where you'd rather stay at home and watch a stream instead of being there. No idea how this game will go. Cove are clearly the favourites at the bookies.
