Nothing wrong with getting the ball across first time as it doesn't allow defenders to set up easily. Unfortunately our forwards weren't set up either and didn't seem to be expecting that quick service. Would have been interesting to see how a more natural goal scorer like Godden would have got on.

I think MR will start with the team that started the 2nd half against Forest. Having got those minutes under his belt there would seem little point in sending Rose back to the much less competitive U23 games. If he is not ready for the full 90, then bring on McFadzean after 60 minutes, or...

This is where our forwards need to show more awareness though. If the opposition are keeping a man on the line to cover Ostigaard's headers then Biamou or Gyokeres should be pushing onto that last defender. If either of them are stood near Grabban last night they would have had every chance of a...

I disagree with that. I think most defenders would have looked to clear it with their head, and done so quite comfortably. I think if Rose wasn't rusty that's what he would have ordinarily done too. Unfortunately for us this happened when he was still finding his feet playing again. The one...

A number of CWR ones annoy me - 'The March to the arch', 'The as it stands table' etc

The thing that's been most frustrating is that hardly any of the penalties conceded have been made preventing almost certain goals. With all the ones I can remember the opposition still had a lot to do to score and were certainly in more difficult positions to do so than from the resultant...

I had the impression that this is a decision made within football and not a Government instruction (apologies if that's wrong). Although they often makes a balls up of dealing with social issues, football does like to be seen to be seen as influential in such matters, if you look at the likes of...

I wonder how hard Birmingham will try to beat the snow given their poor recent form.

While I agree O'Hare will be the top end of our pay scale I very much doubt he is on as much as 10k a week, which just seems like someone's guess to me.

That 55 season was out of the ordinary - Peterborough were really unlucky to go down with 54 points. In only one other season has over 50 points been required to stay up in the last 10 years, and the majority of the time averaging a point a game (46 points) would see you safe. Looking at the...

The shot from 40 yards was brilliantly instinctive and could easily have caught out a lesser keeper than Westwood, as no keeper would have been expecting a shot from there, and could have easily been caught out of position. He did similar earlier in the season when he took a punt from the half...

This issue provides a real conundrum and doesn't really lend itself to a short comment on a message board. People that gamble and are addicted to it will gamble regardless of whether football teams have a betting company on their shirt, so I don't think this step will make the slightest impact...

It was a memorable day but by this time we didn't own HR. It was sold in 1999 from when CCFC rented the ground back, and who eventually ended up effectively repaying all the money they had made from the sale back to the new owners, who therefore got a great deal. There were rumours of...

He was far from awful for us. In fact if we hadn't sold him when we did I very much doubt we would have been relegated from the Championship in the first place. That said he's not mobile enough to play to our current system so I wouldn't look to sign him now.

Try reading this whole thread!!

The laws you have pointed to are open to an interpretation which you have taken in regards to 'circumventing the back pass rule' and 'respecting the game', and then applying it to Dublin's goal, which other refs may or may not agree with. The circumstances of the Dion goal do not 'clearly' apply...

Hyam had a nightmare and was at fault in some way for all 3 goals.

Do all his team mates still hate him?

You've jinxed it now :oops:

Not convinced home advantage has the same impact in BCD games. Philosoraptor has probably got an unintelligible graph which might or might not tell us if it does :)
