I think Hamer was to some extent torn in deciding whether he wanted to leave or not, but even then he could only leave if someone made us an acceptable offer for him, and we plainly hadn't had such an offer until last week. Other than hiding away when the CCFC media team came running I don't see...

I would keep it the same for the moment too. I like a fresh Wright coming on against tiring defenders.

Jim Blyth was probably the best actual penalty saver amongst them.

@Skyblue_CP - apologies on my part. Hadn't seen when you posted :) It's sometimes good to be proven wrong! ** not sure why this has come up in Bold!!

Who would be our keeper to take virtual penalties against? Reg Matthews/ Bill Glazier/ Jim Blyth/ Les Sealey/ Oggy/ Westwood?

It was 5-1 at SP, but just checked and seen that 11-1 was available in the morning. I missed out but hopefully some CCFC fans filled their boots and can now pay for a Sunderland match ticket :)

That is some real strange logic. Godden scores 1 and assists 2 but has let the Twitter idiots get to him because he gave them some back, and so should therefore be left out!! Taking him out of the team for that means not only are you letting those Twitter idiots win, but damaging the team's...

With the money spent on Wright and Simms it must be very much in MR's mind to play them together, although Godden has thrown a spanner in the works as to when we are likely to see that combination in any regularity. Don't know if Wright played up front on his own in Turkey but my impression is...

When Atkinson took over there was a lot of excitement. I think Salako was the big name signing that Summer. I think Isaias also signed, and the 'African Pele', Nil Lamptey, who ended up only ever playing in a League Cup game for us. At the time I remember being very positive about it all though...

Sheaf said the same in his man of the match interview with Sky. Hamer has been a major part of this club and its upward momentum these last few years, and he was clearly attached to it. MR said as much after the Leicester game commenting that while we would miss Hamer, he would also miss us...

This overweight unfit athlete always out on the piss did alright for us!! Some of the negative comments about him are classic 'spurned lover' stuff :)

He is a decent player, and does possess moments of magic. If O'Hare can return the same player though I would be starting him ahead of Palmer.

Garry Thompson was one I remember being really gutted by. A player who gave his all and was effectively forced out by JH.

You know he's injured again?

Bollocks to that. I was one of Hamer's biggest advocates here and was completely opposed to selling him at any price rather than him leave on a free. So many of our fans are have grown used to SISU's giveaway approach to selling our players and fallen into line with that approach, but DK's...

If MVE is going to be the player we want him to be then we need to play him, even if he isn't 100% ready right now. It'll take a lot longer for him to grow into his role by leaving him out of the team rather than playing him.

I see McAtee is on Man City's bench tonight so might not be going anywhere on loan this season - not sure about Doyle though! It only seems right that we should have a Doyle on our teamsheet :)

The more I've thought about it the more I think Grimes would be a disastrous signing for us, even though I think he's a decent enough player. Our team is built around quick counter attacking and even with Hamer gone, who was the perfect midfielder for that style, our new signings up front and at...

Now doesn't seem the greatest moment to be dumping McFadzean!!

It has often been the case at Cov, that our fans take home grown talent for granted. Eccles is a good example of that. He is a lot better player than some of our fans recognise, although that hasn't been helped by having to regularly help out the team by playing out of position. I think this...
