This season so far has been beyond anything I've experienced in over 50 years supporting CCFC, so let's ride the wave and do the double by winning the League and the FA Cup.

They are both valuable and bring different qualities, so it is a bit silly to compare them. EMC might be more direct, but Sakamoto is a better crosser, links play better and provides more defensive cover. They are not like for like.

This is wrong, it would only be a yellow if the defender had made a genuine effort to win the ball. He made no such effort so it would have been a straight red and I suspect that was one of the factors going through the refs mind when he decided not to give a penalty.

I dont see how you can confidently predict the Bristol game will have 3,000 empty seats with 2 weeks still to go.

Agree with this entirely. There are a few on here that have been criticising the almosphere at the CBS recently but lauding the atmosphere at Crystal Palace which is completely manufactured and artificial, simply copying the Eurpean ultras with their black gear, and having some saddo with a...

Cantwell for starters!

A fair few of them are not wingers.

Why would he come to us to sit on the bench, waiting for a player who plays every minute of every game to get injured?

Completely overhauling a team that got promotion seems to be working for Sunderland as it did for Forest before them, but as I mentioned previously both needed to do so having only been promoted via the play offs, and so had a weaker starting position than those promoted automatically. It...

I thought Wright was out for 2 weeks?

Xhaka was the crucial signing for them, and without him they would probably be in the bottom 3 regardless of the other signings. Even now they could yet go on a long losing run and slide back into trouble, although they have clearly given themselves a great shot at staying up. Their team that...

Possibly, but if we go up we will need to be careful about how we break up a successful team.

Grimes is so crucial to how we play I would be very surprised if we go up, for FL to at least not start the season with him and see if he can be impactful in the PL.

It's a bit boring when you keep repeating the same mantra though!

BTA has had a top spell, no doubt about it, but if everyone is fit I don't think he makes it into the team, and I'm not even sure he will start on Tuesday, as I think before the game yesterday the plan for Tuesday was to bring him in for Simms. Now I'm not so sure. That said its not often that...

This will be a real test for us. Their new manager will want to have a flying start, and their players and fans will be well up for it, so we will need to match their intensity. If we do then we ought to be ok, but if we are a bit off then it could turn into another Wrexham scenario. It would be...

Really? I dread to think how many posts you've made about the ticketing for this game :)

So EMC then?

10 years ago we were lucky to get 10,000 through the gate when there were huge gaping spaces throughout the ground, while our support base is now as high as its ever been. Yesterday was not terrible. You have have been banging on about the crowd for the West Brom game for weeks, so I guess your...

I appreciate its a squad game and that we need to strengthen, but whose starting position would he be challenging for? Is he a wide player or does he play more centrally?
