My definition of "optimism" is thinking you'll win the next game, or at the very least believing you had a strong chance of doing so!

Thing is though, as with all employers, TM has got credit in the bag in the form of the first half of the season so he'll last until next year surely.. SP's good run in the Wilson era was long gone by the time the rot had terminally set in; he'd eroded all his previous credit and had nothing to...

tbh i think a few quid here and there on the team bus and at Ryton would have a very marginal, if not entirely negligible, impact on the team budget!

Great! PM me and we'll arrange where/when. LOL !!!

The thing about football is that things can change quickly. We have to hope that a turnaround can happen, even if now we aren't likely to finish in the top 6. If I didn't have motivation based on that sort of feeling, I'd have stopped bothering with Cov years ago! How about a friendly bet, £5...

Call yourself a "glass half full" man?? No lower than 10th - we'll probably shock a few with at least one win against the teams above us, then round off the season with a couple of nice wins once it's all far too late (yes i know, it probably is too late already).

Yes to the first two - I'd also give Chris Maguire, James Bailey, Oliver Norwood a call each.

Nilsson - Swedish champions with Malmo Reid - promoted twice as Champions with Sunderland Adams - four promotions including one to the PL with Leicester Dowie - promoted to the Prem with Palace Coleman - qualified Wales to Euro 2016 Boothroyd - won promotion to the PL with Watford Pressley - won...

As I said in another thread, I'll be happy overall if we exceed our "points earned" total (i.e. before the 10 points deduction) from our first season in League 1, which was our best thus far. I know it's bitterly disappointing after such a strong start, but over the course of the season, taken...

Shit - I didn't realise that. Would you keep him? On the basis that Martin is also out of contact (see below), would you keep him too? With ML, I don't think he's necessarily earned a new deal but on the other hand TM may be foolish if he gets rid of ML, Ricketts and Phillips (and Ramage) -...

Team currently contracted for next season Looks quite a lot weaker than a team you could make from the players whose contracts expire in May: Out of contract XI: (Keeper), Ramage, Johnson, Ricketts, Laurentzon, Hunt, Cole, Fleck, O'Brien, Tudgay, Henderson Subs: Fortune, Phillips, C Thomas...

Err...as a CCLSC member, and one of those mentioned in the Cov Mad article who stayed behind after the CA Q&A to have a few drinks with him, please can you tell me what you mean by the above statement?

'Crestfallen' just about sums it up for me too. 'Pissed off' would also be fair to say.

Think it's looking like a huge ask now (not that it wasn't before!). Before tonight I thought we had a fighting chance. Whilst I'm still hopeful the circumstances will give us a way in, it's only a glimmer of hope at this point. Anyone still think we're gonna get promoted??? Anyone?

So..........who thinks we can still go up?

Yeah, or Southamton away in our last game in the champ where he ducked out of every tackle!!!

100% agree, it's got us nowhere. We lose nothing by giving him another chance next term. He is building the squad he wants. If the worst comes to the worst, we sack him in 12 months time still in this league. Best case scenario we are back in the champ. Have a bit of bloody faith!

At this point we have nothing to lose by keeping him for next season.

I'll defend him if we get to 66 points - that's higher than our three previous points totals in this league (65 in 2012/13, before 10 were deducted). That would represent a league high for us. Same goes for finishing tenth or above. We'd have finsihed 11th in L1 in our first year down had it...

Or "they did a Mowbray"
