    Relegation thread

    It's amazing that some of us still think we have a chance to stay up after 2 points from the last 10 games... We are not cut adrift yet though. Beavon is a key player, if he can avoid injury and we get a more effective version of Dan Agyei in the transfer window, then we have a small chance...

    More players coming in...ideas?

    Wonder why Mike Petrasso has fallen off the radar completely? Think he's still at QPR but is failing to break through there. I know RM is not as high priority as other areas, but with the pace of Reid and Petrasso on the wings we'd create a reasonable number of chances with them cutting the...

    Transfer Window Predictions

    I think Sordell will be sold - remember that season when Jutkievicz (sp.?) was sold without Andy Thorne's consent? How to battle against relegation CCFC style: sell your top scorer.... Can see it happening because I think Sordell is still a half decent striker if given service (or not shunted...

    Kenny Jackett

    Has resigned from Rotherham Possibly still based in midlands after spell at Wolves. Do you think he would consider taking the (thankless) task of managing us ? We could do far worse - he has the right kind of promotion experience. Bearing in mind that I think we'll sell Ben Stephenson soon...

    So, who do we want ?

    Good post. Cotterill was the 1st name that came into my head - he made shrewd loan signings as well as permanent ones (e.g. that tall striker from Fulham who scored some vital goals for them, Smith I think). Also got Burnley punching above their weight. He recognises players who are good in...

    Match Thread Gillingham v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 24th Sep

    Agree with comments about Gadzhev being a big disappointment. We desperately need McCann and Rose back because we are getting over-run in midfield (though Rose will probably be played at RWB by TM) Mind you, if defence can't win first ball in the air it doesn't matter if midfield is more solid...

    Mowbray, Go or Stay?

    Agree with Otis. Give him a bit more time. Mowbray said he'd only start looking at the table seriously after a dozen games, so that gives him 4 more games for us to show signs of improvement (that means a couple of wins, not creditable draws). I reckon we have got players who are unlucky not...

    Didn't go to game. Listening to commentary was grim: poor Geoff Foster sounded in need of Prozac.

    He has to go

    Let's give him the dozen games he asked for before looking at the league table seriously. If, by then, even with Jodi Jones fully (relatively?) fit, we are not creating enough chances in games, then reluctantly I think we might need to consider a change of manager. I like TM a lot, but I have...

    William Edjenguele

    To be fair, playing alongside those two was a hell of a handicap! Fairly strong defender, but could get turned very easily. He could be ok against a physical striker, but against anyone with pace, he has no chance.

    Signing announcement shortly

    Just the way to lift the fans after a 6-1 defeat, get Bigi back!! Saw this coming a mile off... actually, could benefit us if he plays defensive mid & Gadshev plays further forward. Gadshev seems to be happier further up the pitch (plus he's less likely to give penalties away then...) Still...

    Rose out injured for 'weeks, if not months'

    Wonder if this means TM will change his mind over Kane Smith? My impression was that he seemed to rate him, but thought we needed players in other positions more urgently. That may have changed. TM probably doesn't want to risk DKE as a starter (not physical enough) and Willis seems more...

    Rose out injured for 'weeks, if not months'

    Really bad news for us as he is one of the few players who offers a goal threat! TM says that recent injuries mean we 'may have to adjust our targets' - am hoping that doesn't mean we end up with the equivalent of Hunt, Henderson and Ramage as quick stop-gap solutions... Lets hope the knock...

    I only listened to the game, but it seemed to me that Gadshev should have been the one to come off, not Agyei However, that wouldn't have stopped Turnbull conceding the penalty etc. etc.
