Despite their good start I still think its a bit too early to mark Leicester down as automatic runaway winners.

Really? You must be seeing something I don't! So by definition you think Godden is a bottler?

Given Palmer had played a full game for Jamaica the likelihood is he wouldn't be on it last night. It was midfield where Hull had the extra legs on us towards the end of the game, and Palmer's introduction didn't change that. I would have expected Sakamoto to have got about the pitch more and...

Estupinan did well in the 2 games against us for Hull last season. Hopefully he doesn't play tonight!

That is one bizarre list. If it is truly an all time list then surely pre war players like Bourton, Lauderdale and Mason would have to be included. So many players missing that ought to be there. Here's an XI of omitted players I've spotted :) Sealey Coop Barry Blockley Holmes Blair Powell...

That refers to domestic coverage only and doesn't state whether i follow will still be available overseas.

Anybody abroad will be able to watch it on i follow.

As pointed out, Godden tends to score his goals in prolific short spells so it would be silly to drop him while he's in one of those spells. He will eventually hit a dry spell or get injured and we will then see the Wright/ Simms combo anyhow, when hopefully Simms has settled in a little better...

I don't know what you get out of supporting CCFC. You constantly overreact and your bitterness is off the scale. To me part of the joy of supporting a football club are the memories created by great players that by nature are only ever ours on a temporary basis. Hamer is the latest in a long...

I don't think any of our forwards are suited to playing a lone role. Wright is the likeliest to be able to from what I've seen as he is the most mobile and probably the strongest too, but while Godden keeps scoring he is not going to be dropped so I think we will be seeing 2 up front as the...

In respect of balance, the whole team is in a transformation period at the moment given the introduction of so many new players, so I would expect that to improve as we move forward. Bringing in another midfielder might have exacerbated that even further for a while! I suspect a fit O'Hare will...

What is a Hamer type though? There is simply not a straightforward replacement for him, and I don't think MR was prepared to just bring another midfielder in to make up the numbers when we already have so many midfielders. It looks like we were interested in O'Brien and Swift to some extent who...

Then I don't understand why you are not manager and MR is!!

Welcome to the Football Manager world where a computer game trumps reality! It appears MR was interested in O'Brien but he went to Middlesbrough. He would clearly have made it into our first XI but aside from him he clearly wasn't prepared to spend on the other midfielders that were available...

Dalglish and Strachan were both prone to giving sarcastic answers to inane questions, which were more often a statement of fact than an actual question.

He joined Forest as their great team was on the wane, and before their next decent team took shape. If I remember right they signed Fashanu at the same time, who was a real flop for them. Although he didn't score like he had at Cov he was still their top scorer for 3 seasons, even with...

In terms of space the O'Hare of old would cover more ground than Palmer, and probably knit in more closely with Sheaf & Eccles. What we don't know yet is if we will get to see the O'Hare of old, or whether the injuries will have a long term effect on him.

Their 2nd goal was particularly poor. With Fadz out of position the professional thing to do would have been to engage their goalscorer before he got anywhere near our area, and brought him down if necessary and taken a yellow card. Retreating back into our own area inviting the guy to shoot was...

Can't think of any either, despite there being plenty of signings. I remember we could have sold Telfer for a tidy profit to Blackburn soon after signing him, but turned down their offer!

Not sure its a 'love in', but he does deserve to be shown some respect as a player who gave his all for us and undoubtedly at times played through injuries to the detriment of his long term career. The Dabo that played in our League 1 winning season and started in the Championship was far from...
