Good day! Welcome back to Cowdenbeath, where we are having the time of our lives. Back to back promotions have been secured, Division 2 proving a lot less of an obstacle than Division 3. Hopefully, that’s a sign of a club that is growing into a global force – one which still fields the Micker up top. Let’s get into season 3.

It’s always nice to get a gong, a positive way to start an episode.

Some top players getting awards as ever. The Micker’s 48 goals makes him more than twice the player Brian Laudrup is.

Big Johnson retires. He was truly awful.

Robo Cod also calls it a day.

The Crazy Gang once beat the Culture Club, as the world’s most overrated commentator once said. Anyway they’ve decided to give that another go.

Right, we’re not messing about. Let’s sign a knackered Jason Wilcox.

Three months is nothing.

This also seems like a good idea but signing goalkeepers on this game is like trying to solve the Da Vinci code.

I’ll be honest. I signed this guy, a regen. Then didn’t play for several weeks before writing this up. So, er, who is this? The boy can shoot.

This isn’t important, I just found it…Odd.

Steve Haslam has been a long time favourite of the blog. He once signed for Real Madrid. I’ve tempted him to Cowdenbeath at the cost of £575k.

Jeffers is back for his now annual loan spell.

This will probably be a disaster but I’m willing to give him a go. More sixes than the Hundred, am I right guys?

Here’s a man who will help. Rodney Wallace. Versatile and poor positionally, somehow.

The early signs are that we are an unstoppable freight train from hell. 5-1 up at half time? 35 games like this and we’ll be fine.

This is annoying. That’s £400k less than we paid 2 months ago. Surely the courts will help us out.

We’ll really miss that £400k.

We take out our anger on, Livingston again. This time in the cup. 14 in two games is spicy.

Jeffers is some boy. A big win in some other cup.

Come with me if you want to live. On loan.

Well now. St Mirren go down to 10 in the first minute, which is good. Micker misses the pen and then we also go down to 10. We’re lucky to pinch a draw.

Premier League opposition is a good test of where we are. We give Dundee Utd a good game but fundamentally we can’t defend. Injuries are annoying too.

It was nice whilst it lasted.

Despite missing an early penalty and going behind a hat-trick from that lovely portly man leads us to a 6-1 victory. Purring.

Another home game is a lot closer. Wallace takes over penalty duty and converts but losing our only central midfielder for 6 weeks and Chris Biggins in general is a bad day out.

A draw at Kilmarnock feels like a decent result.

Oh yes please. Another loan but he looks incredible.

That other cup again, this time a win at Rugby Park.

The boy JC! We love a loan.

Motherwell are another side to be relegated to our level but we send them packing.

I’ll miss you, Rino.

It’s a disappointing defeat at Raith but they are the league leaders.

We seem to have lost something. A home defeat to St Mirren sends us out of one of the cups.

The misery continues at home to Falkirk. Possibly the most Scottish lineup we’ll ever face end up sucker punching us in the McGut with a late winner.

When all else fails, buy Ian Taylor.

Hmm right, maybe we’ll rethink that strategy.

We’ve played everybody once and we sit 4th. Ian Taylor better sort this out.

Nobody is doing better in 1999 than Steve Haslam’s estate agent.

Something is definitely wrong. We only scored once against Livingston. Send help.

Another struggle ensues at 9th placed Stirling. Importantly though we find a way to win.

It is curious how it’s all gone wrong. I’m not even playing Ian Taylor after his debut. Maybe too many changes?

This is an important win but I will answer the most important question first – Yes, that is Barry Venison.

Dundee are rubbish but for some reason we still aren’t quite clicking. The Micker’s first goal in a month is in vain.

This is better. Three of the front 4 are on the score sheet as Killie are brushed aside. When we’re good, we’re very good.

All of that leaves us second after 14 games. Raith are clearly playing the role of season one Man Utd, conceding just three goals so far. Livingston though are absolutely awful.

So that ends another week of Cowdenfun and sets us up for an intriguing 22 league games next week. Are we Premiership bound or do we need more time to build? See you next Sunday to find out.
