I don't know how he stuck it out for as long as he did. He did well this season considering. Blackburn's situation reminds me a bit of Newcastle's a few seasons ago. Every game they chanted "Get out of our club, get out of our club, you fat f**king b*stard, get out of our club", obviously...

I would too. Give the lad a chance up at Oldham. Sounds like he deserves a start. His finish was quality. He might help the ball stick up front and give the lads at the back at break. Let's face it, they need it!

Defending might have been suspect at times, but the level of finishing was first class, especially Walcotts goals. They also had a particularly strong side out. Usually at this stage of the season they just put the youth team out, so it shows how seriously they are taking the competition this...

Remember it well. Happy days!

Not making excuses for him but he is still young and learning his trade. He's also been thrown into a struggling side with no confidence and played against some of the best players in the world. It doesn't sound like he'll make the grade at Man U, but might be an effective lower league player...

Didn't go, but watched the highlights on the league cup show. Thought i'd reiterate how impressive the support looked, and judging by this thread i missed a great night out. Result aside, it has to be a massive positive. How many times has the sky blue army been so unified in recent years...

McGoldrick has been like a breathe of fresh air. His positive state of mind sticks out like a sore thumb. When he gets the ball you genuinely feel something good is going to happen. When anybody else has it you're relieved when something not too bad happens. The difference in a positive and...

I wouldn't go that far but i definately want him to bring his own players in. I think he'll find out quite quickly who's worth keeping and who isn't. Given the financial constraints, there won't be many changes, if any.

Exactly my point, he said "the direction of the club WILL NOT CHANGE until there is a change of ownership". Which implies even with a change of manager we will not be successful and continue our slide through the leagues. So Mark, if you're reading this, there is no point in even trying. Stay...

I hate all that big club stuff. There's always someone bigger than you, unless your Real, Barca etc. It is all relative though and Cov are bigger than most in League 1 in terms of achievement, stadium and support. Definately a big fish in a small pond. I think the Championship will be as...

Sir Richard Keys :whistle: said on the radio this morning that Covs fortunes won't change under the current ownership. I thought to say that was a bit unfair on Mark Robins and the supporters. Just when a glimmer of hope comes shining through there's always someone waiting to piss on it. No...

The team is good enough, just struggling for confidence and come on, it's no suprise really is it? The black cloud that looms over CCFC is there for all to see and it's been there for years. The minute any player walks through that door, they're immediately infected with the negativity that...

I don't either!

Paul Ince for me. Richard Shaw has had his chance but it's sadly not working out, and i do mean sadly.

It must be a mistake, surely? Why would anybody be interested in Michael Appleton? He's got a decent set of lads together and still they can't beat Walsall, and at home. I bet i know who they will beat though! On paper, i think Pompey have got more ability in the team than Cov. So if he...

Three loanees would be good. A more creative midfielder, a winger with a bit of pace and the ability to cross, and a utility defender that can play anywhere at the back. Not asking for much eh?!

We've got to stop talking about relegation and just take it one game at a time. I thought the players AT brought in were ok and that at worse the club would be sat in mid table. Clearly these players aren't as good as i thought, and even if they are, it appears they have been affected very...

You're spot on Gaz. Robins has done fantastically well considering he had no money to spend at either club, and both of them were in a big slump, just like the one we're currently experiencing. Ince has had money to spend and still not been able to improve any of the teams he's managed...

I voted for Mark Robins. He did really well with Rotherham United during one of the worst periods in the clubs history. They had no money and were bottom of the league. He steered them clear of the relegation zone and got them challenging for promotion not long after. He also got Barnsley...

Totally agree. Khan is so overrated. Both Kell Brook and Ricky would knock him out. Khan's all huff, puff and tippy tappy quick shots. He's also got the worst defence of ANY World/UK fighter. Whoever he fights next should be his last. I also wouldn't put it past Hatton to win a few...
