The yellow card stats in general are probably indicative of both the style we try and play in combination with being a bit soft under the belly too - I bet half of the yellows are for celebrating goals not tackles as well!

His fouls conceded and fouls suffered stats pay tribute to that tenacity. Tops both charts by miles: If you compare that to someone like Hiwula I think it goes a long way to showing how much more involved in the overall game he is. Hiwula comes alive when he's facing goal within the last 20...

To be fair to him, for those 32 on target, by the time he'd made up his mind what to do and got it onto his left foot, there were 7 players between him and the goal :p I watched the Oxford, Barnsley, Bristol Rovers highlights again this morning because I wanted to see the Hyam misses and back...

If the playoffs are done by Sunday then I'd play Oggy against Shrewsbury.

I wanted to vote for Thomas but I wasn't able to. I did everything right until it came to the final page and then kept misclicking. Shit jokes aside, I'm struggling with Hyam a bit. Was great for most of the season but just a few crucial mistakes in consecutive games in the last few weeks, when...

CCFC: We want a 5 year deal, on our existing 100k but with more access to the matchday revenues we generate and you need to replace that pitch with something that doesn't resemble the surface of the moon. We also want the option to host our events at the Ricoh for heavily discounted costs and if...

I'm not suggesting he's lazy - he presses hard from the front. I genuinely don't think he gets up and down the pitch like Thomas though. For me Sterling gets much more direct support from Thomas than Mason does from Hiwula. It might even be a deliberate tactic as Hiwula almost plays as a 2nd...

A huge sigh of relief from the fans who already attend. A quick thumbing through the next chapter of the 'Book of Excuses to not go' for everyone else.

Fuck me, talk about believing your own hype. That level of egotistical self-importance is exactly why the Trust is unfit for purpose and how you all managed to get your heads turned so easily by Haskell, Hoffman, Wasps, the council. Our 'Trust' is closer to our enemies than the club it is...

There's been quite a lot of evolution in team selection this season through injuries, players falling out of favour etc so it is quite hard to analyse the season as a whole. It's only really the back 4 that has remained fairly stable. The 1st game against Scunthorpe: Sky Blues Xl: Liam O'Brien...

I meant to add the 'scored in both halves' stats too as a further demonstration of our inability to score regularly enough at home to win matches easily. Only 3 times at home this season:

Mason would get a lot more cover if Hiwula had the work ethic and tenacity of Thomas and Thomas would get a lot more goals if he had the finishing and instincts of Hiwula. Together they'd make a complete player!

He reminds me of Shaggy from Scooby Doo anyway. And then when a cross is coming in 'ZOINKS SCOOB!'

Will be almost impossible to replace in L1 I feel, in terms of how he makes this current formation work. It's not just his ball skill but his upper body strength in tight situations..... He's only been in the UK for 6 years, since he was 15, so I'm clinging to the hope he really does feel at...

There's been a lot of debate in the last 24 hours on missed chances/goalkeeping errors so I thought I'd pull some of the stats out and share some of the more interesting ones (interesting to me at least :p). 1. We rarely win comfortably and don't often get battered: 14 of our 18 wins have been...

Is '48 hours from expulsion' the B side to Gene Pitney's '24 hours from Tulsa'?

He's a keeper with some really bad weaknesses that are further exposed by our inability to put games to bed. Doesn't seem to have the mental fortitude or self confidence to be a success in what can be a very isolated position and when so many of our games are settled by an odd goal we have to...

I’m very proud that we try to play football the way we do even in League 1.

That’s when I got to the toilet or for a fresh beer. Only time you can rely on for absolutely nothing to happen.

These are the periods in games we concede. So slow to get out of our own box whenever we’re under a bit of pressure. Defending our own penalty spot
