It seems the colleges don't teach spelling and grammar any more...

You have to remember that Adams, whilst he did have McSheffrey sold by the board at the start of 06/07, also brought in a lot of garbage signings and completely revamped the squad that had achieved an 8th placed finish the previous season. Think Birchall, Bischoff, Andrews, Kyle, Virgo, Hawkins...

Agree with this, think McSheffrey will more than likely see out the rest of his days with us. He's only 30, and while he hasn't scored anywhere near enough goals this season he is still an important member of the team.

I think if we lose to either Bournemouth or Swindon this week it's hello mid table mediocrity

I think the team has been somewhat leaderless for a while now. Looking at the players we have, none of them really strike me as what I would call 'traditional' captain material (loud talker on the pitch, big presence in the dressing room etc.) Looking down the list of recent City captains, Keogh...

Thorn. For the sheer fact that we can no longer sing about him having no hair and us not caring.

What an absolute load of horseshit.

As have I, I'm 6 foot and he was easily shorter than me. Wanna compromise with 5'11''?

Clarke is 5'10'' no more. Would say Willis is a healthy 6 footer or just over.

In all honesty, Cyrus is utter shite as a footballer. An athlete yes, a footballer no. Clarke comfortably the better player. Also think it's time for the Edge to have a rest, physically he's a weakling.

Cameron is definitely a more physical presence than Edjenguele - even Robins has alluded to him getting bullied by oppo forwards and underlining the need to toughen up his game. I agree with CCFC, he hasn't had much of a chance but when he got a run in the side towards the back end of last...

Cranie is a diminutive type of player, calm head, doesn't go blazing into tackles. Keogh used to make these lionhearted blocks to recover his mistakes, which the fans notice and appreciate more (bit like Scott Parker's style of play). Cranie was a better reader of the game, but the two made a...

Cranie was a better defender than Keogh.

Thought the Edge was a bit soft tonight. Slow to close down for their 2nd goal. Especially first half, thought we were brushed off the ball too easily by Preston, didn't show enough strength and battle to win the 50/50s.

Stefano Gioacchini, Sam Shilton, Runar Normann

McSheffrey. He was the one who looked most likely to create something (albeit little) vs. Spurs. Although we had little attacking threat, there was a glimmer of McSheffrey's prem experience there.

Saw him on the train away to Swindon, offered him a can. Turned it down, reckoned he would have 'about 12 pints afterwards though'

Bought 2 tickets for the Spurs game on general sale, yet there was only the option to collect, not deliver them. Have tried phoning the ticket office to see if they can be delivered (don't live in Cov) but they've been pretty useless. Anyone else come across the same problem? Probably too...
