I believe stats show that ball is only in play for around 50 to 55 minutes of any given game. The only way to stop the excessive time wasting would be to have an independent timekeeper, with 2 halves of say 30 minutes, with the clock only on when the ball is actually in play. As pointed out the...

Did you research anything to back this statement up? In our League 2 season Doyle missed 2 league games - both of which we lost. Kelly missed a dozen or so league games - did we lose all of them too? For the most part of our League 2 season Kelly wasn't that special. He did however improve...

Hughes and Clingan were technically better but offered far less to the team than Doyle, bar Hughes first season when he did perform well. Even though Doyle was viewed as inferior in quality to these players, he was far more effective than them, both in disrupting the opposition, galvanising our...

The same prejudices used against Walker were always evident in Doyle's distractors too, but kind of by using reverse logic. While Walker is accused of being lazy, Doyle was just a headless chicken who ran a lot. Both are simplistic nonsense, but of course they are the terms that football...

He was not in anyway responsible for our 2 relegations, and it could be argued that if he had been part of those teams we wouldn't have been relegated in the first place. As for the original point Walker is not lazy. Robins would not give him the time of day if he was. He has also been unlucky...

What equates to 'strong rumours'? Don't see this at all - probably wishful thinking on the part of Lincoln's equivalent to the fantasists that sometimes post on here. They will not be able to afford him and it would be a completely backward step for him. From CCFC's standpoint we need the...

So nailed on that the same happens this season?

We will be more disadvantaged than most if behind closed doors games come back into play. Having crowds back has increased the tempo at games, which suits our pressing game and I would expect us to slide back into mid table if no fans can attend games.

The Championship will not be curtailed, just as it wasn't previously, and for the same reasons. The PL will not agree to any promotion to it from an incompleted season and Sky will want compensating for lost games. Yes it is possible there maybe behind closed doors games of course, but the...

That would be really embarrassing given he can't even get in their team, never mind the fact he isn't a City fan.

No chance

Is it not feasible at some point for MR to play both Jones and O'Hare behind a lone striker (Gyokeres preferably)? I think its a given that Jones would prove a more clininical finisher than O'Hare, but as others have pointed out the team would miss O'Hare's energy if he was missing. What O'Hare...

Read your T&C''s. These exceptions were clearly set out before you signed up for it. You are still getting to watch games (home and away) at a much cheaper rate than those attending the matches so I don't see you have that much to moan about. 5 years ago you wouldn't have been able to watch a...

Another one who can't show support for Sheaf without having a dig at Hamer or O'Hare :rolleyes:

While you make a fair point initially I don't see why you have to bring Hamer and O'Hare into the argument. It ends up with Sheaf's greatest supporters blindly slagging off O'Hare and Hamer the same way they accuse Sheaf's detractors of doing to him. All 3 of them make mistakes, and did so on...

Jones is one of the best finishers at the club after the strikers, and it might well be as the season progresses he gets to play a more active role with the first team. His attitude has been exemplary and if anyone deserves some good fortune it is him.

So many OTT comments on here. The draw is fine by me. We are at home, with a good chance of progressing & bringing more income into the club as a result. Plenty of time to get the 'glamour' tie later in the competition. Seems to me that those calling it a shit draw would only be happy with a...

An unusually leveI headed OP. Everyone of our players have been slated on here at some point this season, more often than not with uneccessary vitriol too. It is particularly bad in regard of the midfielders where supporters of Hamer, Sheaf or O'Hare seem to feel they have to slate the other 2...

The only logical reason I can see why MR chose Dabo over Hyam at CB was that given West Brom play such a high press that he thought Dabo would be the more able at playing out from the back and retaining possession. Unfortunately the team as a whole struggled with that aspect of the game...

Is that the rumour you've just made up?
