    Burnley Match Thread

    Burnley have a good team, but as their results have proven we shouldn’t be fearful. Even without COH and Hamer (ish) we’re good enough to compete. However something needs to change with the attack. It’s either swap Waghorn or Walker for Godden as a straight swap, play Waghorn at 10 in a box, or...

    Bidwell

    Chalk and cheese for me from last season. Not helped by his competition being the polar opposite player to him and one more likely to catch the fans eye as an attacking outlet. He’s been absolutely solid this year, added tenancy and aggression to our team, and some street smarts - particularly...

    Yea really not sure how you got to that from a suggestion of bringing someone with pace on against a high line playing a midfielder at CB.

    Rose has been poor and flattered to deceive for a long time. He had a massive opportunity when Hyam left and before his injury he really didn’t take it. Still hope for him though. Doyle is incredibly reassured and astute for a (just turned) 19 year old in his first season in the Championship.

    Glad Godden off, he cannot start next game. But surely it should be Taveres. There’s so much space behind AND they have a CM at CB! The game really is there for the taking, we’ve had our share of chances. It’s absolutely winnable.

    We’ve really not imposed ourselves on this at all yet, and Bristol don’t exactly look like world beaters. Gyokeres can be greedy but he’s full of conceal why not. Godden a passenger again. Sheaf way too quiet and not on the ball enough to influence either. Need more from Palmer - he’s out...

    2-0 and a really solid performance. Momentum to build and in a few weeks lots of embarrassed faces for the MR Out lot.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Struggling with what to watch tonight and really want something to get into. Just finished We Own This City - definitely got Wire vibes, which is always a good thing. I also got some Shield vibes (also a good thing), I guess as there’s some similarities between main characters. Currently...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I wonder what Coventry Building Society are thinking about their stadium sponsorship. By no means their fault or anything to do with them, but nothing but negative publicity surrounding the stadium thus far. Shame for a Community based BS with a good reputation.

    Tbf he’s an annoying bell end anyway.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    There are a few ways this can go, but either way it has to be a positive and surely will provide opportunities for someone. Be that SISU, a complete left field party or someone linked to Wasps. I do feel sorry for their genuine (original) fans, but at this point I would suggest those numbers...

    Has London Bridge fallen ?

    I’ve also had it on in the background as it’s history playing out in front of us. We won’t be part of this again, when Charles goes it won’t quite have the same reaction and ceremony. Too distracted by kids to fully watch it and take it all, but the background music was very atmospheric and...

    I know you love a wind up / tongue in cheek posts, but this is probably actually true, which is pathetic. If we had anyone to give him some competition he wouldn’t be in the team.

    I asked the same last game. It’s mental he’s not on the bench. He’s miles from the finished article but he has pace and that’s always scares teams. Our forward subs won’t change a game in the same way (if at all).

    Bet he’ll still have his song sang though and actual good players like Sheaf won’t.

    Really think we’ll get something here. As always though it’ll depend on how many mistakes we have in us and how many the opposition take them. Positive start. Albeit sick of Gyokeres constantly having his shirt pulled and generally fouled.

    Careful - you’re going against the Robins Out narrative.

    Predominately based on the second half there’s positives to build on. Crazy decision not to make subs, and a bizarre selection to start, but it’s not time for MR to go.

    No idea how Sheaf has been criticised today, other than one stray pass he’s been absolutely on it, offensively and defensively.
