Whenever I've seen Stokes he's looked pretty solid. Didn't see him at Barnsley, but away at Sheffield, home against MK and at home on Saturday he looked reasonable. He may have been at fault for one of the goals but all of our players have a mistake in them and that doesn't make them a bad...

He never played, but yep, he was Carlos Batista when he joined and then was credited as Carlita.

I see what you're saying Hill - there is a disconnect between the emphatic tone of the headline, and the more cautious tone of the article, but ultimately that's the nature of The Telegraph, and if you want CCFC content, you have to live with the medium it's given to us in (I don't think The...

where's this notion that Mowbray is 'old school' coming from? Is it because he looks rugged and dour? Every report about his tenure at Hibs talks about his free flowing, progressive style and his West Brom team were lauded (and later criticised) for their one touch quick attacking style...

You are easily aroused Steve. You're right about this though: Joking aside, last week somehow felt like a loss and today doesn't quite seem like a win. Four points against two of the best sides in the league is a decent haul and gives us a solid base to push on from.

Aye, can't argue with any of the stats. Just reflecting on the last two results.

Last week I took a piss after the game and got riled listening to everyone moan about how poor we were. This week I took a piss after the game and got riled listening to everyone go on about how refreshing the performance was! I thought in comparison to last week, we were poor today. We had...

1993?

This article makes Mowbray sound like the man for the job. Granted this is a romanticised passage written by a Boro fan about a former hero, but you can't deny this sort of manager would be an excellent fit for us and continue the good work that SP started...

What do you mean Nick?

That's not a truth though is it. In fact, everything that you've stated there is your opinion. See my comments on 'Is anyone going to defend Pressley now' if you want to hear what I thought about Saturday. You can't argue with his results, but I think his actual performance as a manager, is...

I don't remember much rotation between Moussa and Sheff, but if you do, I can't really argue with that. For me, Moussa, Thomas and Daniels (and to a lesser extent, Baker) were interchanging at the start of last season with a fluidity that I have never seen before from a City side (or since)...

Haven't got an issue with considered opinions OldSkyBlue. It's the sensationalist way in which opinions are delivered as fact on here that I am trying to reason with. The most worrying thing about SP for me was his lack of ability to arrest a decline in form - he did this only once, at the...

Yes but you could also argue that as he was playing as a lone striker with Scunthorpe, and a support striker dropping back into midfield with Pressley, his feat at Coventry was the most impressive of the two. For the sake of argument, lets also say he was dropping back into midfield in a team...

But he played a completely different style to Mark Robins who relied on a 4-5-1 with out and out wingers and a pacey striker. Pressley went 4-4-2 with a fluid midfield with Fleck at the base and full backs that played like wingers. You can't give him sole responsibility of the poor form this...

No thanks to the owners in that statement.

The Mark Robins effect wore off well before Presley's purple patch at the start of last season. That was totally his doing and he should get as much credit for that as he gets blame for this season. I have never seen us dominate teams as consistently as we were doing at the start of last...

He bought Danny Fox too didn't he?

I'd say he was a failure at Forest Green - got them relegated in the first season (when they were reinstated) nearly got them relegated the year after. Mid table Sacked.

What do you mean? Bobbing around the promotion and play off places?
