Perhaps a poll would confirm your suspicions but I suspect you would be wrong.

Takes me down memory lane looking at some of those retro shirts.

Its a massive summer and I am hoping we can capitalise on the fact money is, relatively speaking, not flowing in the game atm and that James might like a return full time to the Midlands area.

Players were unsure about at the level play a couple in each half and utilise the 5 subs rule. These games are not vital but could still learn from them.

Our results have been far better with him in the team than without. On that basis it would be gamble to not renew him for another year.

Impressive list and if we can get those I would be very happy. Is Panzo left footed ie left centre back. Edit - just looked in more detail and if we could secure those players we might be an outside chance of the playoffs! Any guess on the total outlay that might represent?

Thanks for sharing, who was slagging it off? It's always helpful if names are dropped. It gives contributors the right of reply.

Agree, in fact these changes have been touted for perhaps longer than the heavy American influence at the top of the PL.

It's Primarily the American owners who don't understand the concept or value of relegation and promotion. They see their football clubs as franchises like the others in their sporting portfolios. I honestly throught that American soccer would adopt the European model and introduce relegation...

Agree look at the run we went on after he scored two in the Wycombe win. We just seem to be better with him in the team.

Think we need 5 points to be sure. Not sure if i will be supporting Blues Sunday to cut Rotherham adrift?

Not going to disagree. I rated him a 5/10 more for his impact than overall potential. Relegate and he would be one of the first names on the team sheet next season. Stay up and hehas a battle to prove he should be in the team. Wenger was a decent judge of a player and had high hopes for him. Too...

I guess to help the debate we perhaps should list those signed. 1. Sheaf 5/10 not taken us forward. 2. Osti 8.5/10 Best signing for me 3. James 7/10 Done his job as Sheaf hasn't. 4. Walker 6.5/10 Been stop start season should improve. 5. Hamer 7/10 Had some reactionary fans drooling. Over...

I don't want robin's out at all and feel he has another evolution in him at ccfc. If we want top 6 perhaps we will need a manager who is more of a front foot tactician as opposed to the largely reactive Robins. After the Covid issues etc Robins deserves a full summer to sign players and shape a...

Marosi 4 - should have saved at least one of the goals. We urgently need a new no 1 Eccles 6 - impressed and has a great cross on him. Pask 5 - poor for first goal. Should be 5th choice CB. McFadzean 6 - did ok but lacks pace against teams with good movement. Ostigard 6 - Playing in a week...

You could be right, if we stay up. Not sure he would have been much less impactful than the front two today. Regardless however if you concede 4 were just not going to win games, no matter who we have up front.

8 Frostie splurging is relative to income and bank balance. It's entirely possible that 100k spent by us equates to 10million or more to another club. You have again asserted that I don't know what goes on behind the scenes? Do you? By phrasing it as you have, your suggesting your privy to...

Frostie, with respect you do get a bit carried away with yourself and have drawn some slightly strange and incoherent parallels. I used the Ben Godfrey transfer simply as an example of how a player can be plucked from relative football obscurity (York city) and can subsequently net a club 20...

As a % of outlay there are quite a few. It only takes a Ben Godfrey at Norwich signed from York for very little, sold for 25m. That was clearly the hope for the likes of Thompson, Drysdale, Morgan Williams etc but they have all struggled and are finding they best fit in teams well short of...

I had a long debate on here where I was told the opposite and the moneyball approach was not City's and we had a great scouting infrastructure. I would tend to agree with you and a family.friend who is the agent for a few Newcastle players that its mostly done on stats and videos unless the...
