thornwoodjag Posted December 8, 2025 Report Share Posted December 8, 2025 (edited) Cove are 9th in league one. No excuses really whoever plays. Don’t see the point in risking Watt. Would imagine wee Stevie in for Aidan or Logan. Turner and Martin to start with a n other in the middle. Bud in goals probably. Who knows whay will happen with defence. Do we give D.O.R a run out before his probable return on Saturday ? whoever plays we should b in the next round. So far Cove say they are not streaming it, don’t know if that can change tomorrow.

They have just signed Chris Maguire and Greg Stewart so not sure it will be a total walkover, they have picked up recently and unbeaten in four.

Both good players in their day, kinda past it now. Wee T will run rings round them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 8, 2025 Report Share Posted December 8, 2025 In hospital for an op tomorrow so won't make this game. In truth I'm not that strong on the Challenge Cup but I'd urge the Club and players to be minded tomorrow's opponents are managed by the most odious Paul Hartley. That alone should be enough incentive to see us thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone should be enough incentive to see us thru. I trust that all goes well with the op. Agreed that Paul Hartley is the unsmilingest (is that a word?) person in the history of the world. Although the west coast is taking the brunt of Storm Bram, it looks like the east coast will have wind speeds of over 40mph, like a day in Arbroath on steroids. Assuming that the game goes on (and I have not heard any word to the contrary), that could be a great leveller in more ways than one.

elevenone Posted December 8, 2025 Report Share Posted December 8, 2025 May be a ‘diddy’ cup but one that still eludes us plus prize money on offer too so hopefully one we take serious whilst balancing team selection for Saturday. Good chance to acclimatise for conditions on Saturday as well with this incoming storm so kudos for anyone travelling up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that some kind of mental health therapy? 🤔🤣 Seriously though fair play to anyone heading up as you say. Hopefully we are still in the cup come tomorrow night. A cup win in this could do wonders for the team and support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just came on to say the same thing. News bulletin as early as 7am outlined the storm was to move North West and reach its peak by kick off. Not sure if Cove thought it wouldn’t come to much or whether they fancied the wind to be some sort of leveller. Safe trip down the road to all those who made the journey up.
