    The dom hyam sale

    The only realistic way off offloading Hilsner and Da Costa was to pay off their contracts. This wasn't going to happen at a time when we had well documented cash flow issues at the start of the season through the cancellation of home games, that also precipitated the sale of Hyam. Nobody was...

    Hyam is/ was a lot better than many on here appreciate. He has gone now however, so lets hope we can ontinue with our recent defensive record so his loss doesn't have the effect on the team that selling Gyokeres would likely have.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    This feels like a real pivotal moment for CCFC. There hasn't been a greater opportunity to bring the club & stadium together for the long term, but there's still this horrible nagging feeling I can't shake that SISU will not play ball.

    You can't start from the premise that he is likely to be red carded. My main worry with the games now coming thick and fast, is that there is a danger of players becoming 'leggy' which is how it appeared we were against Burnley when we played an unchanged team after having a midweek game, while...

    You might be right, but given our league position, shouldn't giving ourselves the best shot at winning be prioritised over making a point of principle, particularly given he has been suspended for 4 games anyway? Seems ridiculous to punish ourselves further by effectively making it a 5 game...

    Yes you are correct, got mixed up with our win there the season before.

    By my reckoning it was 17 points if you change the promoted/ relegated teams as Fulham - Burnley, Bournemouth - Watford, Forest - Norwich, Peterborough - Wigan, Derby - Rotherham, & Barnsley - Sunderland. Given that we beat Sheff U & Stoke in the comparative fixtures last season that...

    I think what Cardiff have been arguing is that header was made by our player and not theirs, and as such their player could have at no point been off side regardless of whether the Fadz touch meant there was a 2nd phase.

    You are completely deluded if you think that all Prem players are tea total.

    If the Trust had anything about it, the information on which councillors are CCFC friendly should already be known and ready to act on if necessary. Unfortunately I suspect that forms no part of their agenda.

    Is there a game this season you haven't had a feeling we would win?

    We desperately need O'Hare back. I guess he's nowhere near returning just yet?

    As long as the players put the effort in we as supporters should get behind them. They weren't good enough on Saturday but there was no lack of effort. Players are more likely to be lifted to play better if they are encouraged rather than criticised, as that's human nature at the end of the day...

    I would just rather we try to replace them in the Summer, even if we take a bit of a hit on their prospective fees at that point. The extra time we get to bring in players in the Summer will allow MR much more scope to reset the team, reorganise it and start again. Doing so in mid season is much...

    No doubt I'm flying in the face of reality, and while I would like a new keeper, I don't want it at the expense of O'Hare. We have missed him terribly, and trying to replace him in the January window, which is a traditionally difficult one to make impactful signings, would fill me with dread. I...

    I thought Dabo played well, and Rose used the ball well, and also made a decent block during his cameo. That's about it though. Put on the match thread that my initial thought was that Wilson should have got a hand to their goal, but need to see it again to be sure.

    I don't think we had the legs to play that pressing game today. Was only when fresher players came on with the 4 subs that we started to do that, by which time the game was set in its pattern. They were much better than us but they obviously have a goal scoring problem as they should have used...

    I think most of us accept that Moore is probably the better keeper overall, but we are in a position where his confidence was shot, whereas Wilson's is likely to be pretty high at the moment. I'm not sure how Moore gets that confidence back given he doesn't play in any back up games but I would...

    I thought the same on the night. The passes that people seemed to think were on for him were not that clearcut and were as difficult as taking on the shot himself. If he had attempted to pass in this instance and hit it too gently so that the keeper or defender intercepted, or alternatively hit...

    From what I've read it looks like Burnley have dominated most of their games this season, but seem to lack a cutting edge to finish teams off. Hopefully they don't find their shooting boots on Saturday, and we can get a smash and grab victory. This smacks me as the right game to go with just...
