Yeah, we've been fairly clean as a side this year. Only 5 more games (4 league, 1 FA cup) to go until the cut off for 5 yellow cards passes (ie. if you get to 5 after then you won't get suspended). Kelly, Davies and Thomas are joint leaders with 2 yellows, hopefully all should avoid suspensions.
Well out of date.
His record in his 2nd spell is P88 W41 D16 L31. Win ratio 46.6%
Incidentally his combined record over both spells is P121 W58 D22 L41. Win ratio 47.9%.
The combined stats put him in 2nd place of most successful CCFC managers ever (where there is data available), behind...
It was actually a pretty poor finish from Hiwula, straight at the keeper and got lucky that it went under him and took a deflection that put it in the corner. But pleased for him and thought he played well on the left even without the goal.
H&R is a pretty awful ground, won't be any cover for away fans. Also minimal places to drink beforehand and there isn't really a train station close by. Hampton is a small place

Really struggling to remember us having many (quality) dead ball specialists in recent years - Cole and Maguire only played a handful of games, ditto Maddison... beyond them I can only really think of Danny Fox, with mentions for Clingan and McSheffrey (1st spell)
I'd like to see Mason at LB assuming he's fit enough, but guessing it will be Brown seeing as MR said Mason was blowing out his arse after an hour v FGR
I hope so - I didn't think he was particularly good v Oxford in the Sky game either though. Hopefully just rustiness as you say, I know from personal experience ACL injuries can take a long time to feel fully comfortable and confident in your knee and movements etc.
First game of the season so thought I’d list out a few things I noticed yesterday. Obviously can’t comment on previous performances (bar the Sky games) so bear that in mind:
Really unimpressed with Brown, doesn’t seem to be any upgrade on Stokes considering he’s supposedly meant to be one of...
