    The wrong players

    Moussa? He certainly wasn't good last night. I'd say McGoldrick, Bailey and Fleck are good. The rest are poor and not up to standard.

    Mcdonald or ball?

    Has to be McDonald. Ball looks awful.

    Players good enough to be in a top six team in league 1

    Only players with quality required at this level are McGoldrick, Wood, Murphy and Fleck (if fit). Haven't seen Bailey yet so don't want to judge. The rest will not excel in League 2 I fear.

    If I was Robins...

    ...this morning I would tell the players that they aren't doing any training. I would call them into a room and tell them to sit down. I would then mention to them that they are about to watch a DVD of the 1987 FA Cup final. I would tell them that this was a match which pitted the club they now...

    Never thought I would do it

    The problem is supporting City is not currently an enjoyable experience. It has not been enjoyable over the past two seasons and there has been no sustained period of good results since about 2004/2005. In these circumstances who can blame fans for wanting to seek some enjoyment in other...

    "Thorn was a good scout"

    Hopefully this myth has now been debunked with the dross he purchased in the close season. Fleck (fitness issues aside) looks like a footballer. The rest look like they wouldn't grace the Memorial Park on a Sunday morning. If Thorn was such a good scout how come so many of his recent signings...

    It Takes Time.....

    There is no alternative. We have to give him a chance to sort things out. He has been left an appalling legacy mainly due to the oaf Thorn.

    A few observations

    Last night was the first game I have watched live this season. I had a season ticket for decades but I now live in the South and frankly I'm not going to spend a hundred pounds every fortnight to watch us in our current state. That being said I went to Griffin Park with some naive optimism that...

    No goals coming from midfield

    No shame in tonight's result - MK Dons are one of the better teams in this division. Also very impressed by Robins so far but it will take time to turn around years of underachievement and a losing mentality around the club. However one massive area of concern is the chronic lack of goals from...

    Was Nuneaton a fluke?

    Subsequent results would seem to suggest that our pre-season defeat against Nuneaton was not a fluke. Are our players really non-league standard? Recent results would seem to suggest that is their level.

    Who would love to....

    One thing I think the new manager should do is force the players to watch the entire 1987 FA Cup Final (plus extra time and post-match celebrations) and then remind them that that is the club they now represent.

    Saturday Carlise Predictions

    I'd say we'll lose 2-0. I think with this group of players we will struggle to win more than 5 games this season. Worst team since 1883!

    First thing the new manager should do...

    Well these players are taking us to the Blue Square Premiership so we need to do something. I don't think even the most optimistic City fan would deny that these players are at serious risk of seeing the club relegated to League 2 and then what?

    Anybody else?

    I honestly don't see us beating anyone at the moment, the confidence of the players is so low. They seem incapable of winning against anyone. The club is totally unrecogniseable from the one I grew up supporting and despite 25 years personally supporting the club, with parents who have supported...

    Are the players doing this on purpose

    They clearly don't care. Most of them have played either in the Championship or the Scottish Premier League. They should be able to compete at this level. That they cannot compete shows they simply don't give a damn. They should all be sacked on the spot.

    First thing the new manager should do...

    We should just get shot of the entire squad. They are gutless, pathetic, embarassing, weak, lilly-livered, spineless losers. They wouldn't grace the Blue Square Premiership.

    First thing the new manager should do...

    ...is transfer list the entire team of players with the exception of McGoldrick (he's a loan anyway). Something extremely drastic needs to be done to demonstrate that failure cannot be tolerated and this is the only option left.

    An ex-football club

    This football club is not pining! This football club has passed on! This football club is no more! This football club has ceased to be! The football club's expired and gone to meet its maker! This football club's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you nailed this football club to a...

    Kilbane...

    Overpaid, ageing, knackered ex- Premiership midfielder whose legs have gone and couldn't give a damn about the club, appointed captain without having played for the club before, disliked by the supporters and no doubt costing a packet in wages. It's deja - vu all over again.

    CCFC's Lowest ebb ?

    We are now really at the cross roads. Find a brilliant new manager to galvanise the team and the club and get promoted in the way that Norwich, Southampton, Leicester, Wednesday, Charlton etc did or pick another wrong 'un and see the club spiral down the divisions and probably go the way of...
