Jack Burroughs looks a hell of a prospect. Think today's result has pretty much ended our play off hopes so might be a good time to give him some 1st team experience before the season's out. Along the same line might be worth giving Bremang a run out up front at some point too.

If it is Northampton then I would expect the crowds to be bigger this time but an average of 5,000 would be as high as we could probably expect. If that is the case I would rather we play somewhere like Rugby where we would play in packed ground, tight to the pitch, that could prove quite...

Really think the Trust should have organised candidates to stand in the local elections on a single issue basis. The inevitable poor turnout for such elections means a well organised campaign could easily win council seats. Charlton fans successfully did so in the past, to help push their...

It was desperation stuff. Think we had a 2 goal lead from the first leg & Bobby Gould was so overconfident he started John Gayle up front, and it started to unfold from there.

Your memory is letting you down slightly. I was at this game too & was there with my ex wife! We sat in the stand which wasn't that big granted, but City had half of it, and we also had fans on the terraces. Just looked it up on you tube, and when Phil Babb scores the late goal that puts us...

I hope our fans layoff JCH. He is clearly their main man - we only saw little glimpses of his potential, but when he did play well it always seemed it was when he got riled. I know its an unlikely scenario but I think politely applauding him would completely throw him off his game :)

Not sure I agree that we have to be more cautious, at home anyway. If we pushed men forward more at home like Barnsley do, then yes there will be the odd game where we get counter attacked and lose because of it, but these are League 1 teams we are playing against, not Man City, and I think that...

Certainly agree with the last sentence. They attacked with pace and numbers, it was noticeable how many players they had breaking into the box, whereas we normally have only one person to aim for when we break forward. The way we play is much more suited to playing away and counter attacking. It...

Agree that Willis is our only player who would have contended for this.

Oakey was a great full back no doubt, but it is a position we have been well served by over the years. Not sure he was better than Danny Thomas, Brian Borrows or Roland Nilsson. Bobby McDonald was a fantastic left back - bad move by Gordon Milne to freeze him out in favour of Harry Roberts in...

As it stands Chelsea face a transfer ban until the Summer of 2020, so new players for them.

As others have said we were bullied out of it, which has been the common denominator of most of our defeats this season. To an extent that is to be expected from such a young side, but it is still disappointing when it happens. Burge - 5 Generally ok, but another costly error. Not sure why he...

I haven't read through the 11 pages of replies so apologies if I am repeating points made, but the options are far too vague to allow an informed answer. I never supported the move to Northampton and refused to go there because I believed it was a move that wasn't necessary, and which was...

Very selective. In his last CWR commentary he praised MR for giving young players a chance, but I guess that doesn't fit neatly into your prejudices.

I've got a feeling there is that kind of rule in the Prem, but not so sure about EFL. If our capacity is 4,500 you have to think that we would sell that in season tickets alone if allowed to. I think we are obligated to offer something like 10% to away fans, and if say we had to do offer the...

Another issue if we were to play at Nuneaton, is that given their limited capacity, I would imagine the club would have little choice but to effectively double the price of season tickets & match tickets (if any were available).

I agree. If Stockdale had been in goal for the Gillingham game I suspect Willis would have got a call to clear the ball that led to their penalty. To be fair to Burge he has been decent enough this season, but he certainly isn't a commanding presence in goal.

Willis was outstanding, and nobody had a poor game. Walsall were awful though. Stockdale - 7.5 Sterling - 7.5 Willis - 9 Hyam - 8 Mason - 7.5 Thomas - 7.5 Kelly - 7.5 Bayliss - 8 Enobokhare - 7.5 Bakayoko - 8 Hiwula - 8

Unlike a few on here, I'm a fan of Doyle and what he brings to a team, but footballers earn such good money these days that testimonials seem a bit of an irrelevance given their wealth. That said I know some players use it as charitable event, and if he were to do that I would probably be more...
