Agree with most of this, good so far on crosses, distribution, off his line quickly; he just gives me the jitters when he lets the ball roll dangerously towards the goal line. There are going to be managers who watch the match videos back and pick up on this. Expect opposing centre forwards to...

Don’t want to go back. Build a better stadium. Move on.

Decent point that. If you watched Baka v Norwich in the first half he did chase their keeper and back line down quota a lot; he even blocked one of the keepers’ kicks IIRC. Stopping a planned long ball play by hurrying the back line will be useful against Wycombe for example, it’ll stop...

I waffled on previously that having Allen in the team is ok, so long as he is the only “slippery (or lightweight, take your pick)”player in the spearhead. Godden, O’Hare and Allen are all lightweight players and as such we offer no physical threat going forwards and a high press and strong...

At the beginning of the season I think we would all see any points won away from home against “wealthier” clubs as a bonus.

Wilson - 9 - seemed to do everything right, unlucky with the penalty, some good distribution and different type of distribution which mixed the whole play up. Some good saves, looks a bit edgy with a pass back (too close to the goal line) ( Just swore on the radio though🤷🏻‍♂️) Dabo - 9 - could...

I always thought Keith Thompson (Garry’s brother) should have had a better opportunity / career. Started off with us, went to Spain (2nd tier I think - did ok) and then came back to us at about age 23. Was a left winger / striker who banged in loads of goals in the reserves (when the reserve...

SISU didn’t understand the Bosman ruling. Whether or not RR explained it to them clearly / honestly and accurately we will never know. SISU invested in players and placed their purchase value on their “balance sheet” (if you were). So. If they spent 1m on a player, they didn’t see that as...

I’ve reverted to “reward absolute mediocrity with a 6 not a 5” standard of rating. Marosi - 6 couple of good bits of control and passing and generally a calming influence. Perfectly good keeper at this level but wasn’t his best match McCallum - 6 not as good as his last couple of matches but...

Middlesbrough weren’t that great. We have they players to beat them. Unfortunately, we put different players on the pitch today and played them in strange positions.

Really poor team selection and poor morale.

Not sure about this line up. Hope I’m wrong.

Marosi Ostigaard - McFad - Hyam McAllum (wb) - Hamer (DLP) - Giles (Wb) Kelly (Cm) Godden - O’Hare (sub 65 Allen) Biamou (Rotating triangle) I’d go with the above. I’d tell Godden and O’Hare to push against their defence and press high and chase every lost cause for 65 mins. Wear...

There’s a theme where many here (including myself over the last few weeks) are pointing out that opposing teams high press CCFC. It seems that they’ve figured that that stops us playing our preferred game. A high press is a dangerous tactic if the team you are pressing has the ability to get...

Marosi 5 - comfortable at this level. Good distribution and a calming influence. Compared to having Burge just over a year ago - amazing (excellent business if you ask me) Rose 5 - not his best game but not too bad McFadz 7 - comfortable on the ball, headed everything that needed to be...

Was just reading an article on FourFourTwo; “worst Prem footballers of all time”. https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/worst-players-premier-league-history The winner was the legend that is Ali Dia. He’s the guy who pretended to be George Weah’s cousin but was actually never a footballer...

If they need a bailout (as an alternative to going into admin) then they should be deducted points. Maybe 5 or 6 points or something if they need a bridging loan from the EFL against future TV revenue in order to pay off some player contracts. Ok, so they could argue that they didn’t see the...

I still don’t see the point of hankering after the Ricoh. It’s short on atmosphere and badly designed. Leicester (and the satellite towns to it) are of a comparable size to Coventry and the catchment area. Their Rugby club has a decent sized stadium with Welford Road and, pre Covid...
