    Yes. Childbirth's particularly difficult for men.

    Seemed much more confident once Kelly came on. We were unlucky in the end, but could very easily have been behind 15-20 minutes into the second half.

    Sheaf

    It's true Kelly's only ever played 20 Championship games, and has played less than McFadzean (116), Walker (47) and Allen (33), but he'd played five seasons in the SPL for Kilmarnock prior to playing in the Championship, playing 100 games and winning the Scottish League Cup in 2012, beating...

    Michael Rose

    He was on a yellow, wasn't he? Substituted to avert risk of going down to 10 men.

    Fridays deadline

    When you have a very young team, the team improves every year. Our first team squad has 16 young players that you would expect to be better than they were last year. We didn't have six of them last year, so can't use these as comparisons. But in addition to the "added quality" of those six...

    Fridays deadline

    Still having Pask is an asset in the making, especially when we are affected by injuries and suspensions. And not losing Max is like having a new signing for the squad! Gives us a surprise packet off the bench. Not a bad window at all, considering. Could have been much worse. There were no...

    Project Big Picture...

    I think there might be a vacant stadium somewhere in the Midlands where they might welcome the Manchester Sky Blues. Then watch Wasps suggest they don't need an inappropriate place-name in their title. They'll say it worked for them! I can't wait for cricket to finish the same journey. Then...

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    I don't know about this big Mexican who might play outside half for London Wasps but it sounds as if he might be spending more time in the Sin Bin than Hamer.

    Should have voted to stay in Europe if we didn't want a European Super League. Those who voted Brexit may have succeeded in ruining all our truly British football traditions! Odd isn't it! I'm sure other opinions are available. ;-)

    Hariss Huran rumour

    Odd to "sign a deal to go to Coventry" and mean "being accepted on a course". He seems to be defensive mid-field, over 100 caps for Singapore (ranked 73rd in the world) and a good record in Asian international football. Wikipedia says: Hariss Harun (born 19 November 1990) is a Singaporean...

    Just had a strange phone call

    Clearly not a very constructive dismissal!

    Just had a strange phone call

    I know you were being deliberately vague and implying to the unnamed taxi firm that you have a position of influence or importance within CCFC that your clearly don't have, but if MR can trace this taxi call back to you, wouldn't he have a good claim for destructive dismissal?

    Refreshing

    If we can survive this season, we should be better placed to consolidate our Championship status next year. Those who might still dream of back to back promotions need first to realise that it just won't happen. And, even if by some fluke it did, we'd find every single fixture would be a much...

    Kastaneer

    To MR's credit, he doesn't seem be holding back the youngsters. He may even be using Kastaneer as an example of what happens if you don't train hard to use your talent. Whereas Shipley has played a full season in League 2, two in League one and now looks set to be fully involved as squad...

    Kastaneer

    That is partly my point. Kastaneer must have started his senior career as a 16 year old, Walsh as a 19 year old and Dabo as 21 year old. It seems to be less a question of him never going to have a career, but that his career started very early and now seems to have stalled as his early...

    Kastaneer

    A lot of nonsense here about Kasta having hardly played any games. I guess it was his record of appearances in top division Dutch and German teams that led to his very high FIFA ranking. Kastaneer (aged 24): Games Top Tier: 52 2nd Tier: 31 Lower Tier: 19 All Internationals: 21 TOTAL 123 (16...

    Presumably with Dabo on the bench, just in case? ;-)
