    Tactic talk what do you think?

    more a general comment than tactics ....... In nearly all the games the result has been on a knife edge. The games could have gone either way, in many games particularly at the end of last season the result could but for good fortune have gone against us. As yet I dont think we can say we have...

    Okay, turning the Thorn thing on it's head

    Overall I doubt we would do better under someone else - so no. Certainly AT has a good record in spotting players and has got a team spirit instilled. The area I think he needs to improve on is tactical awareness - when to change things and how - but that can be learnt over time. Unfortunately...

    McPake

    Eastwood should be paying us let alone be on reduced salary ! It is possible that the salaries of Bell and McPake have come down ......... the Board would be in a reasonably strong position to offer less money but a longer contract because neither have achieved much since they came to CCFC...

    Happy days and still brings a big smile to my face ....... and Liverpool couldnt claim to have a weak team that day Was blissfully unaware of the club finances and CCFC meant just one thing ...... football Oh for a Terry Gibson now ....... current players please take note only a wee man at...

    McPake

    Think it is more the accumulation of all the injuries Otis that has set it off, plus the general frustration about the place.

    McPake

    I agree danceswithhorses.......... I dont see the benefit of giving either of them new contracts

    McPake

    Someone tell me why he got a new contract ? Fail to see given our finances and his injury record why he got a new deal. 35 appearances since he joined January 2009 (not sure date he started with us?)...... yet we invest more money in him. We dont have the squad or finances to be carrying...

    Anyone else losing confidence in Thorn?

    You dont know there isnt another club that wouldnt nor do I. He might not be the worlds greatest manager (lets face it if he was he wouldnt be at CCFC now would he) but he is the one we have with little prospect of the club paying out for someone with a proven track record (Reid, Coleman...

    Anyone else losing confidence in Thorn?

    Either way Mumford I reckon we are stuck with one option and thats AT. Feel sorry for him in lots of ways because we have wasted money on other managers which has only made things harder for AT. It will be interesting to see if AT has more substance than the diamond formation and whether his...

    Lack experienced leader

    Would agree with that, and said so before. There is no strong, drag em through the muck and mire, leader in our squad let alone team. Last one with potential for that was Turner. The young lads need the strength of such a player especially when things start to go wrong. The older players need...

    Anyone else losing confidence in Thorn?

    And you expect him to stand there and openly crticise or talk down his employers do you whilst expecting them to even consider funding any new additions ?:facepalm: Please tell me who wasnt on the anti Boothroyd football style bandwagon, his style of football is easily some of the worst I have...

    Cyber supporters

    how does following your team from a distance stop you from having an opinion? Why do opinions have to be only positive? Why is an opinion only valid if you were physically there? What gives you any right at all to judge anothers opinions less valid? answers ..... it doesnt.... they dont...

    Summation everyone...how different did we all see it?

    Think we lacked any real spark last night. We played the ball around a bit but never really applied any sustained pressure on an Ipswich team that wasnt that good (they got lucky, finished poorly and defended inconsistently, never comfortably.... crucially they had 3 midfielders with experience...

    Success (so far) for Coventry football team

    yes it is SBS but it is at least good to see one Coventry football team top a division :)

    Sheffers and Tree are back

    agree wingy .... it is good to get nearly all our squad fit and available. However I would hate to think that Platt would be anything more than an impact sub, simply not good enough to be a starter

    Comments Removed From CCFC Articles

    Got one question really - why does anyone read the CT anyway? Wouldnt be the first Board of directors that felt the CT had a vendetta against them. Seem to remember other Boards banning the paper in the past
