For me, Willis has been our best, most consistent player this season. Yes he made the error against Gillingham, but I can't think of many other goals that could be attributed to him this season. Alongside a bigger powerful centre half partner, his extra pace could easily allow him to play at...

It seems ironic that the most vehement posters on here calling for protests against the council or Wasps have often been the same people moaning like fuck about how futile direct action has been against SISU. While Wasps and the Council have an indirect interest in the fortunes of CCFC, it is...

My Dad regularly played squash against him around the late 70's/ early 80's & said he was a top bloke, albeit very competitive. My impression is that he's a fairly modest guy, who doesn't crave attention, and is fairly embarrassed when a big fuss is made of him. I really don't believe he has...

As has been said by few on here, nobody would boo Dublin now. I was at that game when he walked round the pitch to his commentary position and you could see he was taken aback at the applause he received, and if he did attend a legends day event he would be cheered as loudly as anyone. Don't...

At the time I thought Hiwula hit the ball at the keeper and then it rebounded back off him into the net, so I thought he was quite fortunate. Not seen it subsequently, but either way, let's hope it gets him some confidence in front of goal, as he has evidently been lacking it recently.

Good performance - we really need to be winning these games more comfortably though. Stockdale 7 Sterling 6 Willis 8 Hyam 7 Mason 6 Thomas 8 Kelly 7 Bayliss 6 Enobakhare 7 Hiwula 7 Bakayoko 6 Shipley 7

Didn't hear the pre match comments, but his comments during the match have told it as it is and been pretty supportive. On the MR/ Mcsheffrey relationship, didn't Robins take McSheffrey to Scunthorpe when he managed there?

Only time I've seen him was in Auto Trade game earlier in the season and he was a central midfielder, and looked a good one at that. Definitely wasn't a winger on that showing.

When Chaplin joined us it was with the reputation of being a finisher in the Ponticelli mode, but with more experience and a better all round game. All players miss chances, however good they are, but for yesterdays chance I would have expected a 'natural' goalscorer to be more balanced in...

I don't buy into this idea that Speedie was a bad buy for us. For much of his time with us we were top half to mid table and were never close to being relegated as I remember. The flowery reminiscence of the Houchen/ Regis partnership is also a bit of a fallacy. Yes they worked together like a...

Is there a definite sell on clause or are we just presuming there is? Also what happens to the sell on payout if Wilson transfers in a player exchange deal?

Don't really get the Kelly love in from some He has played well in recent weeks but I thought he made quite a few basic errors today, while Bayliss was the star turn in midfield today making some quality passes in the danger area that our forwards should have taken better advantage of. Burge - 6...

I thought we were poor throughout. Our defence struggled with their physicality and made too many basic errors with so many miscued clearances, which we got away with for much of the game. The team as a whole made too many poor passes and made bad decisions. Up front we offered nothing until JCH...

Surely not. It's all Doyle's fault that we're not playing well!! They have been very physical, right from the off with the ref letting them get away with it. They have also pressed us high up the pitch and neither Chaplin or Hiwula have held the ball up front, meaning they have consistently...

A good professional performance, where we made a poor team look like a poor team. No weak links today. Burge - 7 Sterling - 7.5 Willis - 7.5 Hyam - 8 Mason - 6.5 Thomas - 7 Kelly - 8 Shipley - 6.5 Chaplin - 6.5 Hiwula - 7 JCH - 7.5

Just watched documentary on Netflix about Sunderland's relegation last season from the Championship. I found it quite fascinating, but one of the biggest things that striked me, which shone through was the fragile confidence of professional footballers, even experienced ones, and the negative...

In his first few games Sterling didn't look to get involved, passed the ball on as soon as he received it, and made a few basic defensive errors. Now he is a completely different player, he is defensively sound and confident in possession, looking for the ball and holding onto it when needed...

Of course it shouldn't be relevant in an ideal world but for League 1 team we have our share of short arses in the team, and although our central defenders are as good as any in this league, not playing JCH does leave us very vulnerable at set pieces against the bigger teams in the league. MR...

His pace always offers us an outlet, and I suspect he is the player whose absence will impact us the most. I presume he will have to miss the next 2 games, so it might present an opportunity for Allessani I guess, although I'm not convinced MR believes he is ready yet.

Surprises me Bayliss is getting such criticism - I thought he did ok today. He's a similar player to Baker was in that he doesn't take the safe obvious option, and as such is prone to making some mistakes. On the flip side though, he creates more openings for the team. I accept his end product...
