Really sad to hear this news. Saint was an outstanding player, and in his TV appearances (especially with Greavsie) you could see what a lovely character he was, full of infectious humour. RIP.

I hadn't realised that awesome Anfield match was only a few days after the Everton one. What a memorable night that was, I don't ever recall a better atmosphere at a game.

Yes, all the games recently have swung on just one or two incidents at either end. Mostly we shoot ourselves in the foot with a couple of individual mistakes in defence, and miss some good chances. Against Brentford those kind of things things went our way, and suddenly everyone in the team was...

Wow the memory really plays tricks! I'd forgotten that we carried on in a similar vein the next year, only less successfully. Yes, I saw the 6-0 thrashing at Goodison Park too ... no complaints with that one, we played a ridiculously open game and they scored six with ease. Sadly I was in the...

And conceded 76 if I remember rightly :D Yes, that season stands out for pure entertainment. I doubt whether any team before or since has played in such an adventurous way in the top flight of English football, I recall being about 4 or 5 nil down at the Hawthorns and Milne replaced a defender...

From the reaction today you would think we had been played off the park, but actually they beat us through aerial dominance, endless fouling (what a pathetic ref) and of course sticking it in the back of the net three times. It’s blindingly obvious that we have inexperienced defenders at this...

Some great recollections on this thread. I know that I must have seen George play quite a few times, but sadly I was too young to appreciate it properly, and there are no clear memories other than the day we won the Third Division. But my Dad spoke his name with the kind of reverence that left...

Looking at the full table on the BBC website, showing recent form, the last 45 games played by the bottom 9 teams have yielded just 4 wins (we have one of them). None of those teams have picked up a win in the last two rounds of games. Lots of weak sides in the bottom half of the table, so any...

Fair comment cc84, just not sure we have enough physical presence with Godden and Walker as a pair. We are struggling to play out from the back in this league and therefore hitting quite a few long high balls.

I have a lot of doubts whether Biamou is good enough to lead the line in this league, but in the last couple of games he’s done better than I expected in general play, and contributed to improved team performances IMO. With the limited forwards we’ve got, if we play two up front Max will often...

I’ve got to hand it to Robins this week. At the end of Tuesday’s match when the game plan had totally failed, we looked demoralised and it was hard to see where points were going to come from this season. Heads were definitely down, so within a few days to tweak the formation and send the team...

So proud of that huge performance!

I agree with all this, but Godden isn’t really getting too many long balls from DM – they are mostly being pinged high at him from the keeper and the defence, and he stands very little chance of doing anything with them. In League 1 we could build from the back, because few teams were effective...

Ah - Curtis, Hill, Bruck, Farmer, Kearns. Those names transport me back to my childhood! Is that really the complete list? It’s astonishing if through the Jimmy Hill years not a single forward scored in 3 divisions for us. What about the likes of Ronnie Rees? I guess Shipley has just joined...

While I applaud and appreciate what the OP has been doing recently, I don’t know how he can claim that “everyone believes that a new stadium should be the priority now”. I’m afraid I can’t “prioritise” something that, with the new roads and infrastructure required, is at least 5 years away IMO...

How do the club plan to make a modular stadium on a field even further out of town than the Ricoh an atmospheric new home that will inspire CCFC fans?

Tuxedo for Mr. Robins

I’ll make the lengthy trek to some games at St. Andrews when Covid allows, but with a very heavy heart. Really hope the team entertains us like they did last season, because all the other stuff brings mental pain. My thoughts for what it’s worth are: SISU – catastrophic misjudgements and...

Tubby or not tubby, that is the question.
