Although trolls and crabs aren't capable of those 30 yard sprints he makes from deep into the penalty area. He can shift when he wants to.

The thing that fools people with Deegan is he doesn't move or look like a footballer, he runs something like a cross between a troll and a crab. That's why it's all the better when he produces moments of magic, which he did almost every time he got the ball last night! At least he's got rid of...

Ooh-err, sounds a bit ruuude!

Huge bids on deadline day, trust me on that. SISU asked for a stupid figure to shut them up. I know, they did something good!!!!

We are, which is why a fit Deegan is so vital to our prospects. His instinct is to hit the edge of the penalty area from deep (not go out wide), and it gives defenders kittens and leaves tracking runners in his wake. He can do what Aron did in that regard, but with a lot more subtlety and...

Agreed, but I think..no, I know Keogh will be snapped up, definitely if we went down, and probably if we didn't. I also think Wood may be off at some point, and rate Thomas above Baker-certainly by next season if he keeps getting better, which I think he will. Cracking prospect, as are Hussey...

Read my posts in the past 24 hours and you'll be hard pressed to find a more positive fan. I actually started this thread with the vision of us bouncing back a la Norwich/Leicester, something I didn't even think possible until last night. The 3 best performances were from guys we've barely seen...

I'll say it again as some didn't hear me..Keogh now has 3 assists in his last 3 appearances at RB (2 last season, I think when he moved out wide after starting at CB). He causes mayhem as he doesn't know what he's going to do, so neither do defenders! Plus the way he runs with in the ball is...

Indeed he is planning for us to "Grow our own franchise board.." :p I wish it was the "sent to Hoffman with the number they want" on it option, but we can only dream of such straight-forward business going on!

IF it all goes tits-up, our team next season after relegation: ----------------------Murphy/Dunn------------------ Christie/Clarke--Cameron--McPake-----Hussey-- -------------------------Bigi-------------------------- ----------Thomas---------------Deegan------------...

Remember him against us during their relegation season, he was their best player yet substituted-he was just a kid and carrying the team then. Serious prospect who isn't getting a look-in, would be very much suited to the "hole" role. No-one else we have bar McSheffrey is, so would be a cracking...

Anyway..having just watched Torchomatics (as ever) superior-to-TV footage of the Deegan goal around 30 times..what a finish. Check out how far away Gilks is from reaching it-about 6 feet! It loops just perfectly, being around 18 inches under the bar and settling in the bottom corner at the...

Yeah but you were talking about Bell full stop when you said Sammy and he were each others default option. The McSheffrey goal is a clear example of that plainly being untrue. He only passes to Sammy when there are no other options-usually due to lack of movement in front of him. It beggars...

Pretty much my points 1) and 2). He seems to be concerned at the attitude and lack of accountability to fans and local business who deal with the club.

I disagree. He seems to be doing this for the right reasons, not self-publicity. CCFC are different to a bank 'cos, duh, we are a football club, not a bank. There are many rules that apply to football clubs that don't apply to banks. One is the "Fit and Proper Persons Test"-although granted, I...

Midlands today now

Great touch and turn by Lukas, and a well placed low shot. Deegans gets better every time you see it. SUPERB placement given how many bodies he had to beat. I stayed up to watch the goals on SSN every hour until 3:30am :D

I don't like the 2 DMC formation-which is what we started this season with. It was just too deep with Gael and Sammy playing the same role and we didn't create much. Even worse, we tend to withdraw a striker so that it is effectively 4-2-2-1-1. The man in the hole ends up wasted and the main...

Agreed, at last-someone other than the CT match report who agrees that Roy's graft and workrate were invaluable in stemming the tide first half. He ran himself into the ground. Platt was really good last night but I still would prefer him as a sub. He's much more destructive against a tired...

I also remember him being superb for Luton in their televised FA Cup game against Liverpool, when he went toe-to-toe with Alonso and didn't look out of place. The commentators raved about him.
