    Are we

    I’ve got to hand it to Robins this week. At the end of Tuesday’s match when the game plan had totally failed, we looked demoralised and it was hard to see where points were going to come from this season. Heads were definitely down, so within a few days to tweak the formation and send the team...

    Sheaf and Hamer

    I agree with all this, but Godden isn’t really getting too many long balls from DM – they are mostly being pinged high at him from the keeper and the defence, and he stands very little chance of doing anything with them. In League 1 we could build from the back, because few teams were effective...

    How many players?

    Ah - Curtis, Hill, Bruck, Farmer, Kearns. Those names transport me back to my childhood! Is that really the complete list? It’s astonishing if through the Jimmy Hill years not a single forward scored in 3 divisions for us. What about the likes of Ronnie Rees? I guess Shipley has just joined...

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    While I applaud and appreciate what the OP has been doing recently, I don’t know how he can claim that “everyone believes that a new stadium should be the priority now”. I’m afraid I can’t “prioritise” something that, with the new roads and infrastructure required, is at least 5 years away IMO...

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    How do the club plan to make a modular stadium on a field even further out of town than the Ricoh an atmospheric new home that will inspire CCFC fans?

    St Andrew's it is then

    I’ll make the lengthy trek to some games at St. Andrews when Covid allows, but with a very heavy heart. Really hope the team entertains us like they did last season, because all the other stuff brings mental pain. My thoughts for what it’s worth are: SISU – catastrophic misjudgements and...

    Jodi Jones Fundraiser

    Just donated a tenner. Really wish I could wave a magic wand and cure this, but well done Jodi for highlighting it and doing the most you can for Teigan.

    Three months of incessant daily information about this has somehow completely passed you by.

    Les Sealey

    Les Sealey was a very good keeper, a fine shot stopper but prone to the occasional bad error. He won some medals with Man United I think, and you don’t do that without talent. As has been said he left at the same time as a lot of other good players as well as the manager Sexton, there seemed to...

    Sounds about right to me, I'd overlooked the idea of Ernie being in midfield.

    Fifty years ago today

    Thanks for that info Sid, glad my guess was correct! Can't believe it's half a century ago. Do you know how the rest of the team lined up? I’m pretty sure we didn’t play with wingers. My main memories of Dave Clements are the superb corners he took – putting them straight onto the head of...

    And presumably bounced straight back out again?
