    For some reason Peterborough always seem to end up with high scoring strikers and useless defence. Maybe it’s a strategy - get the striker high in the scoring charts - sell on - go again. Does JCH take all their penalties and in-range free kicks? Toney Godden Marriott MacLean Assombalonga

    Great pic at Highfield road - was it you ?

    Makes you wonder what the “real” attendances were back then. A fair few knocked off by turnstile guys putting a few £ in their pocket. A few “squeezes” where two got in for one, a few over the fence, under the gate… And then, by the time the money got to the counting office, how much was...

    If Hudds go down and we want a replacement for Allen I think their Duane Holmes would suit our style of play.

    Ratings v Huddersfield

    Wilson 8 Clean sheet and can’t remember him doing anything wrong. Couple of good saves, good positioning so an 8 Doyle 6 Some good play, some bad. Clean sheet but wasn’t really put under pressure. McNally 8 Great debut. Some vital interventions and the defence was by far the better with him...

    Maybe Begovic on loan.

    Gyokores

    Selling Gyok would be madness. We need our Championship status and the TV income that brings. Plus, the value of the goodwill element of this football club on the balance sheet is probably halved at L1. DK must know this. Best money spent this window would be to increase Viks wages and extend...

    Doug King Takeover

    I must say Doug does seem to have aged 10 years in 3 months poor fella. That’s what owning CCFC does to you.

    Doug King Takeover

    Does seem odd. Always thought that the 15% thing was held to be paid off at £whatever balanced SISU’s books upon Prem promotion. Maybe it all got a bit complicated and messy behind the scenes / put off lenders / other investors having SISU involved. The Prem promotion bonus (presumed else why...

    Mark Robins in his pre-match video interview saying that Huddersfield have brought back some player from Wimbledon that was on loan. Anyone know anything about him?

    Transfer Rumour Sean Maguire incoming

    If he’s another attacking midfielder / play just behind Vik he at least gives us options. We could actually do with another DM to play alongside Sheaf, or, if desperate put Kelly there as a sub second half. Put Gus RWB (his original position). I think he could do well whipping the ball into...

    Oxford ave attendance is 8100 Notts Country is also over 8100 in last 10 matches. About the same FWIW. (Source footballwebpages) Totally irrelevant and of course L1 is a higher playing standard. Just thought it an unusual stat that non-league teams are getting high attendances. I’m sure...

    Malta maybe as they have English schools and his Dad is from (grandparents still living there etc.?) there. As a Maltese international I guess he could get around any work permit issues? Otherwise I’d agree.

    It’s a shame because if they paid him up and he was a cheap free signing you’d almost want to get him back in here (would of course need to see if he has regained his mobility in the first instance) Problem though is that he doesn’t suit our formation. We don’t play with wingers and our AM’s...

    Lampard sacked as Everton Manager

    But back on CCFC, the last time we had a change of owner Dowie was sacked and replaced with Coleman. We were about 12th in the table. Higher than we are now. This was only a few months after we’d paid Dowie’s Legals and turned down potential compo from (Mandaric?) Leicester. Poor SISU decision...

    Lampard sacked as Everton Manager

    Doubt he’ll be in the frame. Moyes? Bielsa? Dyche? Rooney? They’ll all be touted before Robins. Edit: put Gerrard on list but then realised the obviously obvious mistake.

    Gyokores

    Perhaps wishful thinking. If we don’t sell him this window then his value goes down in the summer with one year left. If it costs us an extra £1m to tie him for another year or whatever then it will outweigh the decrease in value in the summer. Let’s see. Criticise after.

    Ben Wilson

    Wasn’t long ago that there were rumours that Moore was wanted in the Prem. Paper talk maybe, but it just goes to show how his reputation has plummeted (that we are now talking of paying him off on here to get rid)...

    Ben Wilson

    To be fair, he was probably signed in a low money deal and it’s a reward for doing “ok”. Sends a good message to the squad if it is indeed an extension/rise.
