Well Cowan hit a screamer into the top corner last night. He'll do for us!

His only fault is the end product pity the end product is kinda the whole point of a cf then.

He has had s good start to the season but dont think he can be considered up there with the likes of O'Flynn,Philly Hughes and McHugh let alone better then them.

Edit: Forgot Cummins

I worded that wrong I see. He's an absolute class act and ran the show in Finn Park last week. He was lacking the finishing yeah though.

Cummins is nicely low publicity in this thread re: FD strikers - suits us fine down here! Tbf from what I've seen of him this season its the other way around with him - he strikes me as a natural finisher but can certainly improve on his hold up/first touch play. Mind you if we're lucky enough to grab a promotion spot he'll statistically have done ok by me. It is still VERY early in the season though folks.

He sounds like a poor mans Peter Hynes based on the way Peter has been playing this year.

you are welcome to him if thats the case. we were glad to get rid of that rubbish..

I wouldn't say he is lacking in finishing, has everyone forgot the goals he has scored this season? He also has good awareness and able to pass.
He is very strong, very fit, and very fast and not many defenders are able to stop him. He totally did the defender against Waterford with his back to goals and created the space to take a well-placed goal. That is just one of lots of examples this season.
To say he isn't up there with that list bluewhitearmy is simply not true.

Arguably our player of the season so far.

Has worked like a dog in every game.

Stephen O'Flynn, despite a recent barrenish spell, has still managed 25 goals in his last 32 league games for Limerick, as well as scaring the bejaysus out of most of the defences he comes up against.
Kevin McHugh has what, 150 LoI goals??

Come back to us in a few years.

Exactly. McHugh has done nothing outside of Ballybofey. And how many years are you going back for O'Flynn's goals?

2 in 4 this year.

9 in 16 in the second half of last season.

14 in 13 the second half of the season before that.

As for McHugh doing nothing outside of Ballybofey, Cowan has done nothing anywhere at the moment.

Gary Sheehan is another attacker who would be a different species to Don Cowan at the moment (well not at the moment his leg is broke, but you get my drift)

Added to the obvious ones like Graham Cummins, Willie John Kiely, blah blah blah.

Like I said come back to us in a few years

2011.04.29 - Shels v Finn Harps - ShelsTV.com HD Highlights

**Lim till i die** · 01/05/2011, 9:32 PM

Shels crowds.

Top quality highlights as usual tbf.

**Longfordian** · 01/05/2011, 10:17 PM

Cowan is still young 20 or 21 I think and he's improving all the time. When he first came to us on loan last season he actually was very wasteful but he's been a lot better in that respect this season. Cousins would know a thing or two about forward play to be fair and he's definitely improved Cowan. All the better if people under rate him tbh we might have a chance of holding on to him then!

More or less what this mans saying.

Cowan clearly has loads of potential to possibly be a great player, he was the only Longford player we talked about after we played ye earlier in the year but to at this moment put him on the level of an O'Flynn or a Sheehan or a Cummins (who's still only a converted centre half in my book

) or a McHugh or a Hughes or a John Kiely is nonsense.

John Tierney was easily one of the best attacking players in the First Division last season, now he's playing with Pike Rovers.

In summary, come back to us in a few years.

**Guinney** · 01/05/2011, 11:27 PM

Going to hard for us tomorrow with all our injuries. As far as I know 8 out of our 19 first team squad id injured for tomorrow and as good as ruled out. Plus one or two more carrying knocks but available for selection.

**Dodge** · 02/05/2011, 9:44 AM

Pats down to bare bones tonight. Could have Anto Murphy playing centre half (he played last 15 minutes there on Friday). Dave Mulcahy's been out for 3 weeks but he might be back, so he'll play centre half if fit. Jake Carroll will make his debut at left full

Just remembered its actually 3 in 4 this year.
