    Most of the managers who have been sacked for similar form didn't have such a prolonged, strong start - he has got a lot of credit in the bank still, so he'll be safe until the send of the season.

    Seppala at the SCG Meeting...

    Steve Brookfield, the former financial director, left the club a little while ago. Wonder if this is connected with his departure?

    If you could choose...

    Sorry just to be clear....I didn't mean "auto-promotion or playoffs" - I meant let's assume the play-off semis don't exist, you have a choice of either 1 - auto-promotion in second place or 2 - day out at Wembley for the final

    If you could choose...

    ..between automatic promotion in second place, and a day out at Wembley for the play-off final...what would you pick? OK this is a hypothetical choice that couldn't exist in reality, but would be interesting to see how highly valued a Wembley trip is, v auto promotion (not as champs)....

    Many have said that he has gone backwards since the start of the season...I'd be tempted to throw him tomorrow, though.

    Who to renew?

    I think he's contracted until June 2017. Do correct me if I am wrong.

    Surprise, surprise....

    Mate, I've been saying this to anyone who'd listen since we got relegated to League One. A good faith and cordial negotiation leading to a long term rent deal, putting us in a position later on to buy a share in the stadium (as Bristol Rovers did) should have been the approach from the start...

    Who to renew?

    Cannot believe I just read that - I assume you mean a 45-60 minute spell where ZZ was sitting in a sandwich bar?

    Who to renew?

    It seems the general consensus is vaguely along these lines: Definitely keep Stokes Probably keep unless we can get someone better / give the benefit of the doubt for the sake of continuity Phillips Martin Ricketts Ideally keep but probably won’t stay Fleck JOB Cole Ideally keep but...

    relegation form

    Over the last 14 games we're averaging a point per game. On last season's table, that form over a season gets you 23rd. No one's suggesting we're going down but it hardly puts us in a good position to push for automatic or even to do well in the playoffs. On the plus side, if we don't go...

    Phone In

    Despite his years if service I can't forget Hall's mare of a day at Derby away. Think that might have been his last game. Coleman had bizarrely frozen out Elliott Ward so we were lumbered with Hall, who couldn't cope with Commons and Hulse. That was Nigel Clough's first win as Derby boss after...

    Haynes fit for Walsall?

    He wasn't in the team selector on the CT website, anyone know if he is fit? If out, with what and for how long?

    Stephen Hunt Signs

    Quality, things are looking up. No wonder we let Kent go back. Let's hope we can avoid the problem of being a good team doing well which gets unsettled by a big name signing e.g. Newcastle with Asprilla, arguably us with Moldovan

    Andy Thorne in charge for the season!

    Not sure about shuddering, for me this brings back good memories. Hope the old boy is doing alright.
