Didn’t I see a stat about Cov having the most successful defensive tackles per game or something? That will improve our GK figures. The amount of break up play that Gus does is phenomenal, Sheaf wasn’t too shabby either.

I want Wrexham to be in L2 then L1 so in a year or so our loss doesn’t look so humiliating.

The reality: Wasps were in the financial mire when they agreed to let CCFC back. They were in negotiations with HSBC to refinance and having the CCFC revenue stream was probably vital. Wasps needed the CBS sponsorship income and it was a condition that CCFC play there. In turn CCFC could...

Just come back from India and see that Aidy Boothroyd is a manager over there at Jamshedpur. Thought he’d have done better for us, no idea why it all went wrong. (There’s no ex. Manager thread so I’ll stick it here).

Still think he’ll end up in Italy with his gf who Wikipedia state plays for Juventus (if they are still together - I’ve no idea).

Let’s hope that he’s so committed to CCFC that he’s checking out weaknesses in the Sunderland defence.

Candidate: “What potential is there for career progression?” CCFC Interviewer: “Well me made one of our scouts the Manager not long ago. No qualifications or anything….” Andy Thorn. Bless him. Dark days.

Signing anyone over 28/9 always goes against the grain particularly if they want decent wages. No resale potential and often have lost that bit of drive. Only exception being Goalkeepers and Michael Doyle type midfield General / Enforcers. Matty James would have fit that bill, not sure if Fleck...

Have a bit of extra sympathy for the Blues after they helped us out with a ground share. Robins described them as “class” in how they treated us. Feel empathy with their fans, we know what it’s like to have daft owners.

I think that he’s implying that over 24 in demand free agents can often command high wages for say a 3 year contract because clubs haven’t had to shell out on a transfer fee.

Hadn’t seen that angle. From the angles I saw and from where I was on the halfway line it looked a good goal. Can see it now and it’s a good spot from the Ref.

Two on the posts (need to be tall else what’s the point?) then six who need to have à realistic chance of winning the header. That’s 8 players with aerial ability required out of the 10 outfielders and out of the 10, 1, Gyok, left up to break. I’m not disagreeing with you in any way, it’s...

Again, it’s something I said before and I agree. 2 players in centre circle when we defend a set piece means that they need to keep at least 2 back and therefore have 2 less on the attack. So who would we put in the centre circle? A hold up player and a paceman I suppose? Gyok is handy in...

I’m with you on that one. They had a triangle of 3 players together and the one furthest back peeled off left to head in. The two in front were marked and possibly prevented our defenders from tracking the runner when the ball came in. Possibly Wilson was held a little. It was a soft foul...

Wilson 8 How do you score a keeper that didn’t have to do much? Clean sheet away, a win, couple of regulation saves, knocked a kid’s tooth out, decent distribution, bit of winding up the home fans with time-wasting…. got to be an 8, right? McNally 8 Solid. Clean sheet, a couple of decent runs...

Just in corp lounge. Apparently: “The Coventry goalkeeper kicked it and hit him (a kid) and (kid) he lost a tooth”. There you go.

BNC needs to come off half time. Booked early and out of sorts.

Couldn’t get a ticket. Blagged a couple of VIP’s. SBA in good voice.
