    Sorry to start another Thorn thread ....

    Keep saying it - it's glaringly obvious that AT plays a safety first defensive approach. Centre mids (Gael and Connor) have scored NIL goals in 22 games played between them - with a total of just 8 attempts at goal !!! Sideways, backwards any where but forward, strikers wandering up and...

    Strikes Good or Bad?

    Firstly let's start with a level playing field here. Let us not confuse the act of electing governments which involves voting for a variety of parties (first past the post normally wins - or if not enough = coalition) with voting in this public sector strike with one of two choices - OUT or IN...

    We're screwed

    6 Generations, You are absolutely right - from a previous thread of mine I actually checked the last 10 seasons and the safety factor was actually 51 points !!! ........silly me The task looks like this now: W10-D8-L9 = win ratio of 37% Even I struggle to see where those results are...

    We're screwed

    Bit of hypothetical maths here: Assume 42 points is safety we therefore need to obtain 29 points from the remaining 27 games which in this approximate permutation could be W7-D8-L12 = 26% win ratio. So we have to uplift our current win ratio of 11% by a significant margin to achieve 42...

    Our squad (& fans who harp on about no other manager being able to do better...)

    I still think AT's negative backwards/sidewards tactics have a lot to do with our demise. Plus; very few shots - centre midfielders with NIL goals - strikers wandering up and down the flanks instead of being available in the box. All reek of negativity and lack of purpose. Change it AT...

    So just what is so different?

    Wingy, Jimmy Hill joined CCFC in November 1961. His first full season was 1962/1963 - therefore: 62/63 - P46-W18-D17-L11 finished 4th out of 24 (39% Wins) 63/64 - P46-W22-D16-L8 finished 1st out of 24 (48% Wins) 64/65 - P42-W17-D9-L16 finished 10th out of 22 (40% Wins) 65/66 -...

    BRIGHTON - Surely 3 points ???

    Now listen up you doubters (especially Cloughie) of my prediction prowess, I really did get the score right, be fair - but unfortunately it went to the wrong team - we can't all be perfect can we ??? PUSB

    How Much More Can You Take ?

    Our current malaise had it's roots years ago. 12 of us used to meet in the Con Club corner of Swan Lane for pre match craic and a few Nigerian lagers - happy days. Now - there's just me, still blindingly loyal to CCFC BUT beginning to despair a little at our current demise. Our 2 wins...

    Gardener

    FACTS Gael - 10 games 0 goals Connor - 12 games 0 goals Gardner - 1 game 1 goals How long before Gardner has goal scoring and shooting prowess coached out of him ??? Incidentally, apart from nil goals from our two young centre mids just how many shots have they actually fired in...

    POSSIBLE EXPERIENCED MANAGER - Billy Davies ???

    Before you all descend on me for being disrespectful to AT a lot of posts have suggested we need an experienced manager to improve our current form. I acknowledge that funds are CURRENTLY not available for this to happen but surely SISU must now take drastic steps to halt this headlong rush...

    Gael Bigirimana, is he all that??

    When you look at Gael when he receives the ball his first reflex is to return the ball sideways or backwards immediately - he does not look up and seek the incisive pass forward. He doesn't attempt a one, two and go approach when available. This lad has prodigious talent that is being...

    Best cov player so far??

    Keogh for me by a country mile - has got all the attributes of a first class defender: * excellent in the air * brilliant blocks/tackles/interceptions * box to box surges down the flank * reads the game well * inspirational * must be captain soon Juke a close second PUSB

    BRIGHTON - Surely 3 points ???

    You know how to hurt Cloughie, snitching on my betting history. The tide has turned, the worm has turned - CCFC will turn.................oops I'm getting carried away here. PUSB

    BRIGHTON - Surely 3 points ???

    Didn't mean to promote World War 3 folks - just trying to encourage some banter/opinion that's relevant to the playing side of things for a change - seems to be a rarity these days. Don't think it's a needless thread when it concerns CCFC - so can you critics respond with enthusiasm and...
