Cowie suffered defeat for the 2nd week in a row with another poor performance today against Cove.
Cowie should’ve been 2 or 3 nil up within the first half hour as simple chances were missed but instead found themselves 1-0 down at half time when a penalty was given for a foul by Smith which the Cove striker scored.
Things didn’t improve after halftime as a mix up in defence from a long ball allowed Cove to score for 2-0.
Cove sat in and were happy to play on the break, a plan which worked to great effect as Cowie struggled to break them down and create any real chances and when Cove broke, always looked dangerous with midfield runners.
They did get a goal back on 75 minutes when Lovick scored from a spill by the keeper but it was only a consolation as Cove went up the park and a midfielder ran past 3 static Cowie players and crossed for the striker to have a simple tap in.
Cowie had most of the possession throughout the game but failed to really do anything with it to break through the Cove defence, second half especially, when they did create chances they failed to take them and in the end Cove fully deserved their win for the effort put in.
Another bad result, if this level of performance is anything to go by it’ll be a very long last 7 games of the season with little other than league position to play for, a big reaction needed for the local derby with Newtonhill on Wednesday night.
Scorer today Lovick
