    Carl Baker - tries hard but

    is not very good. Lacks composure and quality to be effective and really annoyed me last night. 1 - first half Cyrus gets to the byeline pulls the ball back to Baker who lofts a high slow ball into the box which is so easily defended - with forwards our size need croses with pace and accuracy...

    Cody's disallowed goal

    Did he foul their defender I thought the defender stumbled by himself with no contact from Cody

    Relegation team at home to top 3 team

    What's new many a time I have watched us whilst in relegation play a team in the top 3 and we start as underdogs but what makes this unique I know nothing about this club or team. A quick review of the internet and I now know play in red and white steve coppell - is director of football...

    What I liked about Notts.

    When they broke they attacked with pace purpose and determination whereas we seem to have carried on from the AT regime slowly moving the ball around the defence / midfield making sure Notts could regroup. Jordan clarke and Baker were a waste of space today, Clarke's crosing was poor and was...

    The CWR after match phone in

    Need to vet all of the callers because many of today's callers were morons talking about highfield, leaving the Ricoh and marching to town. However a gem of a line from 1 caller, he thought Sheffers was that bad that he missed David bell.

    Kilbane needs to be stripped of the captaincy

    Whilst he is captain he is guaranteed a start, I've seen him play wide left, left back and holding midfield and have been very underwhelmed. his distribution today with aimless punts with some going straight out he was awful and needs to be dropped.

    most shocking sackings or appointments

    Eric Black's sacking was bad but booting Sillett for that clown Terry Butcher was the worst. Despite all sillett's achievements there was hardly a grumble as most cov fans expected Butcher to be a success as player manager - how wrong we were

    Some of you lot are easily impressed

    We have not won a league game since March we were relegated in April we our just outside the relegation zone in the third tier of league football we don't have a manager our crowds are rapidly declining Yet Fisher & Co are the best thing since Curtis & Sillett. Fancy talk by educated...

    David Bell - where is he

    Does anyone know the extent of his injury as I feel he could be the difference. Since signing in Jan 2009 he has had 71 starts + 20 sub appearances and has rattled in 6 goals. some might say he is a sick-note but they haven't seen his step-over. His last goal for us was as recent as March...

    Our 4 midfield additions.

    Despite our current form most would consider the 4 additions to midfield to be top 6 quality. Jennings - experienced and highly thought of at Motherwell. Fleck although injured showed signs of quality in pre-season to reignite a once promising career Barton looks a very able player Kilbane a...

    Well done Juggy

    A great guest all his points he was able to back up and great that he mentioned the Bell and Baker contract travesty. I know there are various ways to judge midfielders but Baker's 2 goals in 80 games and Bell's 5 in 87 may help explain why we are where we are.

    the two french centre halfs

    WTF is going on. Brought early in pre -season then immediately overlooked for a young loanee who has been poor by all accounts in both games. AT has stated that they need time to adjust to the English game, if that is the case AT has fooked up. We can't afford to have such a shortage in a key...

    Tonight at the ricoh

    1 Fairly poor game NZ play like a British team Belarus deserved to win a bit more comfortable on the ball. 2 14,000 there I think the hype over security put some off and the supposed traffic chaos which nver materialized. 3. A few belarus fans who were out sung by NZ "just a small town in...

    Does the loan of Callum mean the end for jeffers

    Jeffers has a year left on his contract and has yet to establish himself at Cov or any of the clubs he has been out on loan at. We have taken a lad 6 months younger than Jeffers. Jeffers is now behind cody, Ball & elliot in the pecking order. If another striker come, I think that is a no...

    I was angry

    Angry at SISU for leaving us with a clearly underfunded squad Angry at AT for tactical ineptness failing to motivate the team for the big games last yr Forst Bristol Angry at players like Eastwood Clingan Bell also Sheffers Baker ROD but time can be a great healer. Putting together a reasonable...

    Big If but

    If Brian Howard signs and if some of the money from the Keogh sale is used to fund a striker (such as Emile Sinclair from P'Boro) and an up and coming centre-half We could get promoted. We will have a good mixture of youth and experience for this league.

    The SISU transfer methodology

    Why any of us fans are getting excited about new signings is beyond me. SISU won't mane any moves untill they have confirmed and maximised the sales proceeds from Keogh. Once MCFake & ROD are confirmed as gone then they will dip their toe in the market. Cody didn't come untill Big Ben had...

    The late early bird scheme is finished tomorrow

    Haven't renewed and despite coming out of the umbongo, with talk of nearly signing players nothing has convinced me that it won't be another season of struggle, with a poorer squad playing in an even more empty stadium, surrounded by very disillusioned fans with even more ridulous and mundane...

    Centre - half problems

    Expect Keogh to go- will command a payrise and championship football - things we can't offer. Cranie - has gone too good for L1 and may also seek a payrise. Wood - if there is an offer he will be let go as he is apparently on quite big wages McPake - wants to head back North, SPL is probably...

    Teflon AT - a great position for him

    AT did show in the last few months of 2010/11 that he may have the credentials to be a good manager as he turned around a poorly performing team. Whilst I will give him credit for this I do believe a lot of it was due to the relief from the players at moving away from hoofball played under AB...
