You've changed since the Yeovil game!! From the depths of despair you're now in your happy place again despite another defeat. Anyhow as of now I think we will finish 7th,but from that point anything can happen. Heart says we get another winning day at Wembley, but head says we will find...

Wycombe have quite a tough finish & I can see them losing out on 3rd place. We are too far off now & my gut feeilng is that we will end up 7th. I don't think Notts County have it in them to get 3rd so that leaves Exeter & Lincoln for the last promotion place. Lincoln appear to have momentum...

In terms of gamesmanship just about the worst I've seen this season was Crawley so I fear the worst on Saturday. They were wasting time right from the kick off, with the goalie having to find the right blade of grass to place the ball on for every goal kick, every throw in involving the ball...

In regard to our left back position this season, the fact that both Stokes & Haynes have been poor this season makes it all the more disappointing that Camwell hasn't stepped forward. He had a decent debut in last season's final game and given his reputation before this season of being an...

With Swindon & Mansfield also slipping recently it looks to me like 74 points will be enough for a play off place, which ought to be achievable, and from then its a lottery. Ponticelli's goal smacked of an instinctive finisher who we might need to make more of before now & the end of the season...

I remember this - got a feeling we drew 0-0 with Arsenal. With regard to his previous career with us I don't remember the fans turning on him until his last game he played where we were playing his club, West Ham, and after letting in a soft goal in front of the West End he reacted to the...

I remember that first season Telfer signed & he started well in the first couple of games, and I seem to remember after we beat Man City when Isaias played a blinder, Blackburn made an offer of something daft like £3.5m, which would have given us an immediate big profit. We rejected it though &...

Going back a bit David Smith was destroyed by our fans. He started out fantastically taking full backs to the cleaners but once he went through an inevitable bad spell the boo boys got onto him and he lost all his confidence. Although he still occasionally performed well he was never the same...

If there is one thing I've learned from this season it is pointless judging our upcoming performance on our last game. No 2 games are alike - I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we keep a clean sheet against Notts having just let in 6. Equally Yeovil are as likely to go scoreless, where it...

Willis is one of our players that can definitely step up a level & I've never bought into this idea that he is disposable & easily replaceable. On a more general point leading from that, I've also never quite worked out why, but there is a definitely a Cov thing where a large amount of our...

I don't disagree with you about today's performance, but I do disagree if you think Doyle has been poor for months.

Seriously?

Now I normally have a glass half empty view of CCFC through bitter years of following them, but in any season there are always freak games that don't stack up & I think (and hope) that this is one of them. Although we still had some hope of automatic promotion.before today we have not been...

Doyle for me - I know a lot of people blame the cup run for the downturn in league form we suffered at that time, but for me his absence at that time showed how crucial his presence & influence on the team has been. He is the ultimate pro who gives everything & has been a great leader for what...

No, the season we were labelled 'entertainers' was the Keane/ Roussel/ Hadji/ Chippo year, which was 1999/2000.

Never got the argument about needing a Winter Break helping the national team. Every recent world cup/ euro winning team will have had a good smattering of players from our leagues, but for some unknown reason that doesn't seem to adversely affect them come tournament time. The reality is that...

The opposite. They are an old team & hopefully this game will come too quickly for them. I am more worried about us dealing with their direct route one approach to Akinfenwa. Their forwards are quite cute about playing the percentages by getting an early nudge on the opposing centre half...

Not sure I agree. I think (hope) this might be a good time to play them. Willis was unlikely to win much against Akinfenwa anyway, so Hyam replacing him for this particular match might not be such an issue as for the games that follow. It is also the case that Wycombe are quite an old team, and...

[QUOTE="Esoterica, post: 1488188, member: 6511". Willis 3 - Completely unnecessary challenge that should have cost us the game. . . Need to see it again, but I don't think Willis could do much once Rose got in front of him. Rose deliberately cut across Willis to make sure he was caught by him...

Agreed, of course teams will swap positions & there are no definites, Some teams will rise and some will drop like Blackpool & Carlisle did last season, but the average points calculation is a better guide than most. It certainly was last season - the table Otis put up showed Stevenage in 7th on...
