Reminds me of Wilshire too. Potentially as good a young player as the club has ever produced, just needs to make sure that his confidence doesn't turn into over-confidence. I hope he takes your advice about sticking around, because Mogga would be a very good mentor for him. And I'd love to...

I think Blair Adams is far too good to drop down into League Two with Notts County. And we have been terrible at left back for most of the season.

Steady on Houch - hope it's decaff!

Credit where it’s due. The owners made absolutely the right call when they changed the manager – and just in time. I struggle to think of many (any?) other decisions they’ve ever got right, but for keeping us out of the fourth division I’m happy to say “well done”. Desperate I know, but these...

My thoughts entirely. Robins was on the cusp of really doing something, he asked for assurances and the next day cleared his desk. In the last 8 years there have been several times when we had the opportunity to take off – and so far the owners haven’t recognised a single one of them. Please...

Just to say I really feel for you after your friendly post yesterday. We’ve all been through torture this afternoon, so let’s hope we both have an exciting and successful time next season. In our case, we literally can’t even remember what that is like.

If Crawley score, Crewe only have to score once to go above us.

Yikes … here I was waiting nervously for the big kick-off at 3 o’clock!

You win, how can I disagree with that! I’ll let the mention of double standards pass, or we’ll be back to square one :) Btw to ChiefDave if you’re tuned in – although I mentioned you in my previous post, I’m really not upset with you either. We all care a lot about these things, and see...

I agree that’s a danger. I was always 100% certain that one day CCFC and the Ricoh would be united, and that we would be one of the country’s top clubs. God I wish that had happened, but I find it really hard to blame anyone but our owners for failing to bring that about. I still think the...

Astute – since you think I might have been “aiming” at you, I guess I need to reply, even on a day like today. I hope I don’t ever aim anything at anyone, and I respect everybody’s views on here. What I wrote was simply in response to ChiefDave, who said people were playing dumb. It’s hard...

Everybody gets the “sports teams shouldn’t move” argument, and nobody is playing dumb. But if you think this case is simple, I beg to disagree. Going back to London (assuming it was possible) wasn’t a popular idea for lots of Wasps followers, because after 13 years the London contingent were...

I think Pressley did have clear plans for the season. But he made disastrous mistakes in assembling his squad, and he let people go who would have been ideally suited to the way he wanted the team to play. I’m thinking particularly of the loss of Adams and Baker, but the squad in general was...

* and designed to gain leverage in a commercial property dispute. I really do get both sides of this - I'm just making the point that those who were against Sixfields but can understand the Wasps move aren't necessarily being inconsistent. It's simply not black and white, and people are...

Interesting. It doesn't seem to stop people acting as anti-franchise warriors on their behalf though does it? The circular arguments on here all assume that the CCFC Sixfields move and the Wasps Ricoh move are equivalent. I don’t believe they are (see post #64).

I get all the moralising about Wasps on here, I really do - but I think it’s misplaced. Opposing the CCFC move to Northampton whilst accepting (maybe even welcoming) the Wasps move to Coventry is not as laughable as some seem to think. In fact it’s a perfectly defensible position. My name...

Letting go of the excellent Blair Adams, thus ensuring that we would spend the whole season with rookies at left back.

Otis, I love most of your contributions but I noticed a couple of weeks ago that you said we were “all but mathematically safe”, which was hopelessly off the mark. I had no idea what you meant, because we were only a few points above the drop zone, with Bristol to play away plus two...

I can’t imagine anyone would “have a go” about that. I’m sorry to say that through a combination of circumstances, I can no longer claim to be the diehard follower I once was, and I’m picking and choosing my matches*. If and when we ever get any joy, totally loyal fans like you will deserve...

The stats say we had 20 shots, but many of them were from way outside the box because we couldn’t penetrate their totally committed defence. And although they didn’t have too many opportunities, they took three of them. They aren’t a classy team and it wasn’t pretty - but it was good enough to...
