Very poor performance against a patently poor team. We played with no urgency and got what we deserved. Bidwell and Haji had particularly awful games. Only MVE, Eccles & Saka did ok, but even then I would only rate them as a 6.

Here you go. It was on MOTD introduced by JH :)

Think it was against Southampton, but deflected in off a defender. It was his only really good game for us!

Dean Kiely also had a really good career!

I'm fine with MR getting his applause before the game but once the match starts we get right behind the team and forget MR, until after the game when we've hopefully beaten them.

Confidence issues might have also been behind Eccles not stepping up. With his recent form being a bit in and out and elements of our support picking him out as the new boo boy, a missed penalty was probably the last thing he needed.

I was surprised he took it given he didn't take one of the semi final penalties last season. Eccles has been clinical when taking penalties at Wembley and in the cup earlier this season and for me would have been the logical taker from the players on the pitch at the time.

I fully expect to MR to park the bus next week. If we don't score early it could be a frustrating watch.

If Wright is on the bench I would have thought Paterson is as likely to drop out as anyone.

Walking away from Wembley after the semi final I tried to console myself with the thought that at least it saved us the embarrassment of a cup final tonking by Man City, which would now surely be the fate waiting Man United instead. However come cup final day Man City were shot through and...

Linked to this - are the club going to make adult tickets in the Family Zone the same as elsewhere next season? Another thing mentioned recently was whether the club would consider introducing a CCFC museum or Hall of Fame along the lines of the 2 Tone museum on Ball Hill.

It's a shame if its true that one of our posters went on their forum to give them the heads up on our fans buying tickets in their end. Not sure what was he was hoping to achieve!

Stoke are clearly a poor team, but MR ought to know our players strenths and weaknesses well enough to potentially make it difficult for us. A nice early goal could be more important than usual.

Hi Josh, shouldn't you be concentrating on your cricket?

Sounds like you're a bit of a sucker for tall stories, particularly given the John Barnes one! Professional footballers are a completely different level, even ones that are generally considered poor by supporters, and the chances that Carsley was just a workhorse at school seems pretty unlikely...

I think your odds on Knowl are a bit short, given the Russell Slade type job he did on GMK.

That's poor planning by Blackburn if he is.

I don't now. There were plenty of posters like you who slagged him off. He seems to have done pretty well since he left us and has had a good Championship career. I suspect if Blackburn were to sell him in the Summer they would make a tidy profit!

Must be a very new stat! Would be very surprised if anyone had more 'assists' than Tommy Hutchison in the time I've been watching us.

If we want to bring in Sheaf and Wright when they are fit, as well as EMC I don't think we have much choice than to play 4-3-3. It would seem daft to me to have Lati playing at the expense of EMC or Wright so that we can continue playing 3 centre backs.
