    This time last year.......

    not sure there is much difference on the goals scored to be honest Feb & March 2011 we scored 9 conceded 16 in 10 games . Feb & March 2012 we scored 11 conceded 14 in 11 games in 2011 April/May we scored 13 but conceded 8 in 8 games. We have 7 games left ...... is it unreasonable to think...

    Thorn

    I think Thorne has done better of late ..... but surely you would expect that 49 games in charge wouldnt you ? We all make mistakes and he has but he has also done some good things. No he hasnt had the money and that has tied his hands to a degree but thats a fact of life and at least there...

    RATINGS FOLKS v Portsmouth

    For me the top performers on the day were Platt, Norwood & Clarke. I would give Norwood the MOM but any of the three could have had it. The performance overall wasnt that great but was good enough. Had Pompey had a real goal threat it could easily have been different. Thought first half we...

    Most pleasing thing about Saturday..

    best moment was the final whistle and the feeling of relief at getting 3 points. It was not a good match, had pompey had a cutting edge we could have lost. The performance was ok - i think people are letting the improvement second half mask a lack luster performance first half. For once we...

    Norwood

    Watching Norwood you can tell he learnt his craft at a top club. His touch and movement is generally good and he has confidence in himself. He keeps his head up and isnt afraid to make a first time pass or hold to hold on to the ball. He is also reasonably articulate, passionate about playing...

    So how would you do it ?

    Dont get me wrong this is not a way to try to justify what SISU have done.... its more a brain storming of ideas. We keep saying how SISU got it wrong - how would we get it right ? You know the set up. You are the owner of a football club that has struggled over recent years. Having put in a...

    Ward to be released...

    no way we would or could afford Ward - no starter as an idea sorry Would like to see what Clarke-Harris could do in the first team too. Dont think will happen before next season though.

    Eastwood returns to Southend...

    but if thats the case why not loan him out for a minimal fee but say still paying most of his wages..... something is better than nothing surely ? Dont think we are getting the full story from anyone involved

    Sisu you are a disgrace...

    this is what the League told me crowsnest Any football club that is in administration will be subject to a transfer registrations embargo. The principle being that where clubs are not able to afford their current playing squad they are not permitted to sign anyone else.In view of any embargo...

    Sisu you are a disgrace...

    interesting........... You see I think that there is no good reason for the budgets not to be agreed, therefore no good reason for the accounts not to be filed, and hence no good reason for the embargo. I agree a couple of extra players may have made a difference..... but they may not. There...

    the age old debate..............how good are we?

    Just to play devils advocate. If at the end of the season we stay up does this mean 1) we were too good to go down 2) AT was a good enough manager to keep us up 3) the squad was good enough to keep us up 4) to stay in this division you dont need to spend as much money as we might think 5) the...

    Premiership player wages now average around £1.5m. But wait!

    Think there is a transition period that means after 2014/15 there will be sanctions for no compliance. But clubs need to be preparing now because current financial results are going to be used as a basis...

    Fabrice Muamba

    I wish Muamba well and a speedy recovery. I applaud all those who saved his life with their swift and very professional actions But I do feel a minutes applause before the game is a little OTT. He hasnt died. He has much to look forward to but his life has changed course. To me it kind of...

    We've Missed Defenders Scoring - Thorn

    Bonus as in their prime function is to defend ........ not expecting not to score and only 1 this season is pretty poor. Would think a reasonable target would be 10 in a season - but that isnt far behind how are midfield do Surely if the defenders are up for corners and free kicks the...

    Sisu

    I agree DTD - failure to file seems to be the norm at CCFC but other companies face the same problems in getting cashflows done and still file on time. It is not a good advert for a well run business is it. I think the reason they dont put a formal guarantee in place is that it increases risk...

    We've Missed Defenders Scoring - Thorn

    Forwards scored 23 so far (six different scorers) (8 forwards in squad used ) midfield scored 8 so far (five different scorers) ( 10 midfielders in squad used) defenders scored 1 so far (9 defenders in squad used) Goals from defenders are welcome but a bonus - they get fewer chances.First and...

    We've Missed Defenders Scoring - Thorn

    Think you are probably right Rob. I do think our style of play flatters to decieve when it comes to goal scoring though. We keep the ball but we dont actually create many good chances as a team. We tend to rely more on an individual creating for themselves. Whether that is because we are trying...

    Sisu

    to be fair DTD the owners never guaranteed any funds ......... what SISU/investors have done is provide a written to undertaking that indicates their "intention to provide or source financial support as it is expected to be required by the group for its continued operation for a period of no...

    btw PLC does not mean that a company is quoted on a stock market - it would also not necessarily mean you could buy any of the shares at all ER. (company house definitions can be found here http://www.companies-house.gov.uk/about/gbhtml/gp1.shtml#ch3 ) If CCFC were a PLC I suspect the only...
