    Doyle Leaving?

    Obvious how? He got dropped when mistakes started creeping into his average at best performances and Robins finally realised you can't build a L1 team around a player that slow. He wanted to play every week, he wasn't going to get that here in L1 and we've been good enough to release him from...

    Except he didn't really close the keeper down did he? He got to about 10 yards away from him and the keeper launched it unchallenged, leaving Baka miles offside on the edge of their box if the ball came straight back, and Gillingham with a man extra somewhere. In the 88th minute and as a bunch...

    It didn't read to me as blaming them for the goal, just bemoaning how at a key part in the game our general discipline and shape has gone out the window. 'we were all over the place for the goal and it’s a major disappointment'........... “But then Willis who hadn’t really put a foot wrong all...

    Just filling in for Bright whenever he wanders off somewhere I think. Shipley's passing in the final third is too poor to be playing in that 3 I feel.

    The good thing about our corners is that you don't need to wait until half or fulltime if you need a piss. You can go and be sure you won't miss a thing.

    He's definitely not a back to goal striker. His lateral movement is quite good but our build up is so slow that it's mostly wasted. I don't like this 4-2-3-1 formation as we don't have enough bodies forward when we attack especially when the defence are as deep as we are. It's too stretched from...

    Of our 10 outfielder players I bet at least half had never played for anyone prior to the start of last season!

    Clive shitting himself because not only can he not tell our own players apart he now can't tell the difference between the Cov and Gillingham kit. Should be fun listening!

    I reckon it'll still be 4-2-3-1.Would be surprised if he changed formation and swapped that many players ----Westbrooke - Meyler---- Thomas - Bright - Shipley -------------Hiwula------------- It would be a big ask of Meyler to play in a midfield 4-4-2 when he's barely played since August...

    Willis is no leader. He's a great defender but he barely organises the back 4, nevermind inspires the whole team. Plus he's refused to sign his contract.

    To be fair those 2 are the only ones in that side old enough to have pubes, and Willis shaves his off. So it was kind of logical.

    Pre Match Conference - Gillingham

    So Doyle to come back in the summer, finish his badges and do some coaching next season before taking over as manager in 2020/21, with Mark Robins moving into a director of football role to continue his excellent off the field development of the club.

    Deadline Day deals CCFC

    Seems like a good window to me and nice to see Robins being decisive, which I hope is carried over into games now. Shipped out some deadwood which were all likely high earners. We desperately needed another winger and signed one on a permanent and added a 6ft 2 midfielder to add more presence in...

    I'd really like to ditch this 4-2-3-1. It leaves Kelly with just 4 players to aim at if we want him to pass forwards and often through the opposition's 2 banks of 4. Although he retains possession excellently the side effect is the build up is very slow as our attacks are forced down the wings...

    Still playing with 2 deep lying midfielders too, it's bizarre.

    This Blackpool team are an organised bunch of cloggers. They're obviously scared by how many times they've been beaten 1 on 1 or passed through and have dropped very deep. Absolutely need to get some more runners into the box now from our forwards. Blackpool gonna be happy to wait for a mistake...

    Really poor miss again. Pure indecision - couldn't decide whether to head it or tap it in.
