    4th Round draw

    It's a decent draw for us, as a test for the team on how far we've developed. I'm hoping we'll give them a real challenge and potentially win.

    January Transfer Window

    The last set of audited accounts for Otium or the club as we understand it, I think showed a loss of £3.3m.... but I stand to be corrected. Given that since those accounts we had a whole season without crowds & a loan from EFL and I thought I read that some of that loss will need to be repaid...

    January Transfer Window

    Sounds like a potential good option as he could commute to Shrewsbury. No need to move house

    January Transfer Window

    At this stage in his career he needs to be playing. Not sure whether a permanent deal or a loan would suit CCFC or him best. He's made significant contribution to our rise from L2 to Championship. However, this season he's had very little time in the first team.

    January Transfer Window

    Probably should have read failed to fulfil their potential, due to lack of appropriate development opportunities in first team football.

    January Transfer Window

    Young players need to consider what’s in their long term best interests. There has been lots of players who’s failed to develop, due to lack first team opportunities. One of the issues within football is the role of agents, who want to ensure a regular cash flow from moving players.... rather...

    Sepalla: Stay or Go?

    Unless there is someone prepared to buy the club at an amount to meet JS’s price.... she stays. The alternative is she liquidates the club.....so be careful what you wish for.

    The Thierry Katsukunya transfer fee to Villa

    It seems as the whole system is rigged in Premier League clubs favour

    Last season loanees

    We definitely need a left sided CB who’s not injury prone. I have real concern that if Fadz gets injured we will have major problems this season. We are very short of cover .

    The Thierry Katsukunya transfer fee to Villa

    I've been looking into the fees that clubs receive for academy players recruited by Premier League clubs. My understanding is that the maximum fee a club can receive is "upto" £40k for each year the player was in the academy. Hence, if I've understood this correctly [and I stand to be...

    Loans that wouldn't happen but would be nice

    Calum Wilson could be warming the bench after January , when Newcastle spend their billions.

    Maddisson

    You could add the whole of the Man City front 3 to the list of players who should be banned for falling over with the slightest touch ....or not.

    Last season loanees

    Ostigard is an interesting case, as I've thought his best position would be in the middle of a back 3 - rather than on the right side. I thought during last season that he looked like the successor to Fadz. It'll be interesting to see what happens next with him, as I'm sure both he and Brighton...

    COVID pass

    We wouldn't be able to consider going to football unless the intervention by the vaccination programme was in place. Vaccination has made a significant difference to life in the UK and reduced the numbers in hospital, etc. However, it's incredibly disappointing that the majority of people now in...

    Coventry U23 v Peterborough U23 Tues 1pm Higgs Centre

    It sounds like Pask is being sensible and preparing for when he finishes football. He's unlikely to be able to amass millions to live off for the rest of his life, so it's good to see he's making preparations. Football is littered with stories of players who never prepared for when their careers...

    Player of the season so far?

    I noticed that Ostigard wasn't even on the bench for Stoke's last game......is he injured?
