    Hummell

    Sold out online as I bloody forgot to pre order, despite leaving the page open on my phone as a reminder for months. I’m genuinely contemplating queuing in the morning. How bad do you think it’ll be?

    Match Thread Liverpool U23 Game - Weds - 7PM

    The two wingers have looked good so far. Chaplin wasn’t (and wouldn’t have been) a starter. The current system doesn’t require a 10.

    Signing a number 10 and striker would be the icing on the cake, however even if we don’t I’m confident of a promotion chasing season. Hiwula will fill the striker role, and in my view he’s more than capable of doing so. Biamou is unproven, but he’s a link player so could suit a 4-3-3, with two...

    Poll:Attendance

    Everyone is absolutely entitled to their view. However, I really do think people are going to be missing a promotion season. Don’t let politics spoil your love of the club.

    Ask Neil

    Genuine question; who is Neil? I gather he’s on the board of the Trust and used to work in PR? But some of you seem to know more about him? A quick google of his name didn’t really give me much. In terms of the Trust itself, I feel a combination of apathy and contempt. I suggest I’m not the...

    Hummell

    Much to my partners displeasure I had planned to order my daughter a junior kit ready for her arrival in 6 weeks, however 0-6 and 6-12 months are sold out. Gutted!

    Helping out fellow fans Part II

    Truly amazing. We may have different views on elements on and off the pitch, but what incredibly fantastic unity from all at CCFC. Great gesture from the club; that really shouldn’t be underestimated either. I doubt many clubs would do the same.

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    Before we start worrying about his departure leaving us with a depleted strike force, let’s give MR some time to bring someone in. He also said he wouldn’t let him go without a replacement, so let’s trust that’s the truth. Plus, let’s also remember it’s unlikely he would have been starting...

    Yes - that’s my point.

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    He’s been gone one season and is only 26, he has a few more years left to prove it wasn’t a purple patch. Plus, I wouldn’t class 8 goals in 17 appearances for Hibs and an international call up as ‘fuck all’. And for the record I’m not one of those clambering to have him back, but my point...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    McNulty was different. A lot of fans has written him off, but I think that was due to a lack of footballing knowledge and purely based on goals scored. McNulty always had good movement, pace and the ability to run at defenders; it was evident he’d come good. I haven’t seen the same from Chaplin.

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    Good move for all parties. Chaplin is young and therefore has plenty of time to improve, however unlike some of you I really didn’t see much to base his potential on. I thought his movement was poor, his first touch off and despite pulling into the 10 role a lot, he was by no means creative -...

    Running

    Anyone doing or fancy this tomorrow: Coventry - Sunrise City 5K I’ve no idea why I’ve signed up a race that requires me to get up so early but I have. Actually that’s a lie, you get a medal and a t shirt - I’m a sucker for a good race ‘technical t-shirt’!

    Running

    I ran the Draycote 10k for the first time a few months ago and I quite enjoyed it as well. I like the fact it’s a regular race too. Evesham is a bit of a trek isn’t it? Do you know why Bedworth is off?

    Running

    I did the Northbrooke 10k in Coventry on Sunday morning. It was through the country lanes around Corley Moor/Hawkes End etc, so was quite a hilly route, but a nice one. I’m looking for a race this Sunday (5k, 10k, half marathon), but can’t find one local enough!

    Hiwula

    He could comfortably play the lone striker role, albeit dependent on the style of football we play, and who plays 10. His movement is very good, as is his technical ability (even if it too some a while to realise), so he could suit playing up front, but we’d need to ensure we’re playing...

    First ‘Home’ Game Attendance

    I’d be happy with 6-7k considering the circumstances. There’ll be extra pressure on MR and the team to perform too, as a convincing performance and victory could both attract more for the next game and maintain some day trippers. Our team is more experienced this season, with a lot having...

    Jordan Willis

    Exactly this. Pace is obviously a massive asset but it isn’t vital and can be mitigated by good positioning and footballing intelligence. By all accounts McFadzean has a lot of experience and while slow, I don’t expect him to be caught for pace.

    Jordan Willis

    He was a good servant to the club and it’s always nice to see an academy player have such a positive impact and contribution to the team. I would prefer him to have stayed, however he's by no means irreplaceable, and I’d argue we’ve replaced him already. Pace is an asset for any central...

    Another winger? Either he’s packing the squad full of potential starting talent in order to have a strong bench or he see’s Kasteener playing 10?
