Smith was interesting. The longer he played for us the more ineffective he was. Not sure if that was due to over-coaching or being the team's only real attacking outlet and being marked out of games. Similar situation to Richie Partridge - and in Richie's case I definitely blamed Mcallister...

In modern commentary times, Clive and Benno would find a way to get both names wrong.

Fair points Legia. I've taken the comments from Sillett from a fairly long interview on youtube. I was surprised at how upfront he was - there was certainly lots going on behind the scenes that was kept out of the public eye at the time.

Just imagining if those signings had happened.....;. Our team the season after the FA cup win could have looked something like the following (playing 3-5-2 Italia 90 style): Ogrizovic Borrows Kilcline Peake Phillips...

I agree with most of what you say Legia for sure. 100% agree we needed that high quality addition to midfield and a dynamic left back. For me both of these issues needed fixing ahead of adding to our forward line. Not saying that Speedie didn't play for the team either and he certainly was...

Shame on you: Zainbrooke. Get with it.

Fantastic memories - great stuff and brilliant effort to make it. Support sounded fantastic from afar.

Appreciate this a lot AST. Hope young AST enjoyed himself. What formation did we play? 1 upfront?

Houch still looks fighting fit - good stuff. And I don't think the haircut has changed since 87 either!

The other more controversial question is if Speedie was the right signing at the right time. He was brilliant but I never was sold on the idea that he fitted our team at that time. I think Sillett now sees the signing as a mistake as Speedo for all his brilliance disrupted the dressing room...

That's a very good question. Houch was a lower league forward and was not that impressive from what I recall in his early appearances. Improved a lot when he was reintroduced into the team after a time in the reserves - I think Sillettt played a big part in that improvement. Also beneffitted...

I predict over the next few weeks that Allen will make a second half debut - replacing Zainbrooke as Clive goes mental in the commentary box.

I have a feeling that Pask is going to be an important player for us over the next 2-3 seasons. Looks to have all the credentials.* *I usually think this way about new signings I haven't seen play - it's the hope of being a CCFC fan.

Gaz is clearly a man who likes exact details - and there's nothing wrong with that. I stand corrected!

And 4 key players still to come back from injury/suspension: Godden, Max, Jones and Allen. We have the foundations for a strong season if we get those 4 lads back on the pitch together.

Is this the real Grendel? "Dumbass GIF." I think your account has been hacked by some teenager from the States. Or just trying to keep up with the youth? ;)

I've been saying this for years. 3-4 posters (the usual suspects) are no doubt currently calling the Samaritans as we are winning on a Saturday afternoon and they could not be more devastated.

Harry H - my comment was tongue in cheek if there was any doubt!

Correction: Zainbrook.

Classic SBT. City doing nicely on the pitch. All's not lost. Let's moan about the commentary on the radio. :)
