I would also worry about where we are playing if the court case isn’t settled. The guy from Wasps was pretty definite that no deal would happen if the legal action continued. It is hard to see where we would play if the Ricoh is closed to us. Nuneaton is perhaps the likeliest place but a lot of...

They were still based in the south east though. While many would still travel to Whycombe to watch them play it is a lot harder and more expensive for them to trek a hundred miles north for every home game. It also rankles with me that the RFU had no objection to them moving into a City with a...

Wasn’t the gate 17000? There was something wrong there as against Morecambe the previous Saturday the gate was 15000 with less than 1000 Morecambe fans. The following week for the play off semi there was 2000+ Notts County fans there and obviously more home fans too. I wonder if they just did...

It’s easy to justify why they should not go and support Wasps. Most fans of sports teams would agree that franchising is wrong. It deprives the people of the area where the sports club was set up, where it’s history and roots are of following the team that belongs to them. Surely every parent...

Need to adjust the timeline slightly. Sisu leave, Wasps go bust, CCFC buy the Ricoh.

I just think that the fact we conceded in the first minute of the second half changed things completely. We looked shell shocked for ten minutes when they created another couple of chances. It also allowed them to sit back, frustrate, time waste etc.We never had the fluency second half that we...

Apologies if that is the case. I will still disagree with you about the plan however as I think everything worked like clockwork in the first half on Saturday until we came to putting the ball in the net. We dominated the game and the possession playing, in my opinion, good exciting attacking...

As shown above, we didn’t get relegated on many occasions when we did stick by managers who then went on to achieve things this club had never achieved before. Last season your “ Taxi for Robins” thread was to all intents and purposes a call for him to be sacked. He went on to get us promoted...

Depends what you mean by the modern era. Since top flight relegation we have had a manager a year in probably what you would say is the modern era and that left us in the fourth division. Sacking managers doesn’t work.

That average is probably true post top flight relegation but not before. If you look at the managers during that stable period from 1958 to 2003 lots of managers were given the chance to overcome dodgy spells. Noel Cantwell’s team survived on the last day of his first season in charge before...

Managers from 1958 to 2003 in order are; Frith, Hill, Cantwell, Milne, Sexton, Gould, McKay, Sillett, Butcher, Howe, Gould, Neal, Atkinson and Strachan.That’s 14 managers in 45 years.If you divide the number of managers into that time span it gives each manager an average of between 3 and 4...

Considering Biamou scored 9 goals in his debut season including two in the game that got us to Wembley and was a key player during those run in games I am sure you would agree, particularly as you posted after his first goal for us last season “how pleased you were for the lad”, that a team half...

Over a 46 game season we finished 6th, one place inside the play off positions. How, after 46 games, could that be lucky? Surely luck would have evened itself out over that many games? I saw all but two games last season and I never came away from any game feeling we were lucky to get the result...

If you go back to our last relegation before 2002, 1958, only one more manager would be added to the list, Billy Frith. We therefore had 14 managers in a period of 44 years when we had three promotions, an FA Cup win, a run in the UEFA cup, two League Cup semi finals and 34 years unbroken in...

The answer is three but I am not sure of the relevance of the question? That is also three relegations in the past 16 years when we have had,I think, 16 permenant managers. In the 34 years before that with no relegations we had by my calculation 13. Not sure what the figures prove except that in...

Probably the next time we lose or don’t score a goal and the same daft ideas for changing the manager are rolled out.

I already mentioned in the post above that Scunthorpe hit the woodwork twice. With regard to your question, it isn’t as simple as yes or no because the circumstances have to be taken into account. If it was one goal from open play and all the performances were like the one at Blackpool then the...

You make so many daft comments and easily disprovable statements (ie the highlights showing the quality of our chances) that it is almost as if you are saying things for effect. Couldn't be true could it?

The point being made was that it wasn't a lack of tactical awareness that cost us but individual errors, ie the inability to put the ball in the net from presentable chances. You can add to that Andrue switching off at their short corner which lead to their goal. The goal scoring problem is one...

Is Brown better than Mason? Haven’t seen it yet.
