    Clingans view on his penalty miss

    Why don't a few of you burn an effigy of Sammy tomorrow night or throw eggs at him? Strewth, can we stop this witch hunt? After all we have more important things to worry about. If we go down I think the 2 points dropped by Juke's penalty miss will be more significant than Sammy's miss. It...

    Clingans view on his penalty miss

    What do you expect him to say? I agree with the fans who say I'm shit and I didn't even try and I will go and eat worms somewhere. Can we just leave it now? Juke didn't get this much stick when he kicked 2 points 4 feet over the bar!

    Captain Craptastic...

    Lots of interesting points. Let me point out a fact to chew on... At Forest we gave an abject display, with no pace, movement, ideas or passion. Keogh was captain and Clingan was injured. scapegoating will get us nowhere. Whoever pulls on the shirt should get unconditional support from now...

    Keogh - Overrated?

    Indeed he has. That said it does not make him above criticism. Our fans dish out criticism to every other player and some get OTT abuse.

    You forget we were 2 up with a few minutes to go and mid table, late season, nothing to play for. No excuses

    Fixtures game by game

    The game I fear most is the one where we have to win or draw to be safe. Let's hope it's not an away game.

    Captain Craptastic...

    When a player is on a hat trick and the game is safe it is the done thing to allow the hat trickster to take it. Makes no odds that McSheff was pen taker normally, this was not a normal situation. McSheff should have done the right thing and let Stern take it. The fact that he did not...

    Keogh - Overrated?

    No connection between the 2 things. My opinion is the same now as it was before. He is a good player but our fans tend to exaggerate his ability. Too many extremes, most of our players are mediocre or we wouldn't have kept them until now. Our best players we lose.

    Keogh - Overrated?

    Yes but always escapes blame from our boss eyed fans... A bit of a pub player at times

    Captain Craptastic...

    Was it selfish for glory? Or brave to take responsibility? OTT reaction. Penalties get missed. Meanwhile the defence escape blame AGAIN, despite 2 more bad goals against. Incidentally it was McSheff who took a penalty when Stern John was on a hat trick and we were 2 up a few minutes from...

    Otis, our wide players may well be the most lacking in the brains dept anyway. Do Baker or McSheff defend well? Do they make good use of possession? They do take up good positions but lack pace and crossing consistency. I would be willing to put Bell in at the expense of either Thomas or...

    Nah the midfield 4 move across as needed. Many teams set up like this away and have the outlet aerial ball to Platt or ground pass to Nimely who comes deep or pulls wide. The only flaw in my plan is it needs intelligent players who make the right decisions and make the run or thread the pass...

    No flanks, you can set the 4 midfielders up in any order they feel most comfortable. All 4 can defend well. We simply chase and nullify...very negative but needs must... And let's face it our wide players are so ineffective over 90 minutes. Alf won the world cup without wingers! This formation...

    No width, Otis. 2 banks of 4. Lump the ball up to Platt with Nimely getting the knock downs and Norwood and Deegan bombing forward. We play on the break. Worth a try...all else has failed away. PUSB

    THE BEST HEADER OF A BALL - Top 3 for CCFC 1967-2012 ???

    Stein, Martin and Ferguson. Saw all of them play and these were the best...Cross a worthy runner up...Dublin was not in the same class. Defenders: Holton, Lloyd and Curtis How spoilt we were in the golden age of the 70s and 80s
