    That was my thought, even though I only get to 6-8 games

    Ccfc transfer rumours

    Marquee signings are showboating - who cares what people think. Results matter Armstrong was a loanee who failed at Barnsley, altho has done ok at Blackburn. Bit of a one-hit wonder.

    Retained List

    We need someone better than both Biamou (much as I love him) and JCH. I'd keep Max and look for better than either

    Retained List

    Before his goal against us, they had dried up, and he'd even been dropped for a while. The absence of goals from him was partly why Notts County dropped out of the automatics. Looks lightweight to me

    My thought too, mainly until the end of 2019 season.So, you would keep MacDonald as good cover

    One of the great things about this season

    Don't see why - it gives career opportunities for young players in a very crowded market place. Armstrong now has a good career at the right level. Murphy is in the Prem but was first spotted playing with us and Colchester. It is better than playing in a reserve team even if they had one...

    But does not have the brain. His positional awareness is dire. I know it is a different position but compare it to Hyam's. Hyam is not all that quick but he is very smart positionally. Haynes vaguely covers the area and hopes he can react fast enough. He never bullies an attacker, which Stokes does.

    Retained List

    This has been said before on here Grant is a local boy here in Witney (like Dom Hyam I believe) and known to my daughter's boyfriend since school days. Barney reckons he has been sent out on loan twice by Forest because they don't think he is good enough for Championship; so not that 'highly...

    One of the great things about this season

    Loans were crucial to the brief success under Mowbray. Armstrong and Murphy were both loans. Just look how people are coveting the goalkeeper Henderson at Shrewsbury and admire the impact he made.They can add genuine quality and be the difference between mid-table and the play-offs. And if they...

    I also wonder whether the big clubs will see his failings better than we do. They want two things I know for certain - 1. Speed, because that is something that cannot be coached. Is Bayliss that quick? 2. Intelligence / discipline. This is why Fellaini at Man Utd is picked so often - the...

    Raising our game

    It is not poor grammar. I have it on good authority ( a bloke I know who sets the English exams for one of the exam boards) that "And" is now perfectly acceptable as a word to start a sentence. It is just a linking word, like "But". His view is that there any number of rules that have been added...

    Summer Recruitment

    Agreed, Bayliss is terrible at tracking back, unlike Shipley. Grimmer has a lot of potential and should be earmarked for the no 2 shirt next season. He covers an awful lot miles in a match

    Summer Recruitment

    I think Grimmer is worth persevering with as he is quite young. Yesterday Exeter focused on the Shipley / Stokes side rather surprisingly, because nobody says Bayliss is good at defensive cover. Assuming Bayliss stays, our midfield contenders would be Jones, Andreu, Kelly Doyle, Shipley and...

    Goalscorers

    Goals from defense are bonuses. Even from an attacking fullback like Grimmer
