    CCFC v Wolves Division 2 champions 1967

    I was there And the man pictured here scored a goal, deflected off a Wolves defender. Still the greatest day, even more than the FA Cup, because it was part of a 6 year process that carried on rather than just being a one-off

    I had that thought, he doesn't stay close enough to Grant, not easy in a crowded penalty area I admit, but Grant got the march on him, and the ball wasn't exactly fizzing across the area

    Do you think Exeter are worried?

    The biggest risk is that even tho they may deny it inside they think it is much easier than Notts County. With no advantage from the 1st leg, we had to get at them, no choice. But I know bugger all, I thought it would be close and we might even get thumped. Maybe if it had been 2-2 .......

    Judging players

    For those of us not there, the Sky clip is to short for the second goal. It is not clear who slung the pass up to McNulty that started that move - which was worthy of a much higher grade of football than League 2 - X to McN to Bayliss to Kelly (who must have covered miles at top speed to get...

    Interest in McNulty

    But does he ever create something out of nothing? Nor, incidentally did I phrase the thought as an "either / or". It was a comment on how we should not assume McNulty is the answer to another team's prayers, by pointing out what is a deficiency, by comparing him with Biamou. Subtle I realise.

    Brilliant Video

    Naive comment of the year alert: Surely after this result, and watching that, SISU can see the commercial sense in increasing their investment (i.e. loss to be fair) in City if they are ever to get a sale and be rid of us.

    Interest in McNulty

    The thing about McNulty is that he is a completer finisher - he doesn't actually make goals very often - I can remember one against Wycombe and one other. Last night's was classic McNulty - smart enough to get himself into the right place so that he could side foot it into the net. If that is...

    If we are promoted two new fullbacks are essential. Grimmer ok as back up, but Haynes & Stokes, for different reasons are past their sell buy date

    Isn't this how we played during Robbins first brief stint, we were knocking teams over - 5 at Hartlepool I away remember, even Adam Barton scored. It always puzzled me at the start of the season that we were so defensively minded.. It wasn't until the very end that the team` properly loosened...

    If Biamou has now scored 8 goals - given that he has not played in every game by a long chalk does that mean he now has a reasonable goals / minute ratio now?

    Can't even go to the pub and watch as I have a sick dog to look after (he's black and white!) I will be glued to this screen. I originally thought first game would be 2-1 or 1-1 and we would be thumped in the second. I don't think we will be thumped unless we go behind and have to chase the game...

    attacking bench - only MacD is a full on defender. JMD Ponti JCH Reid all attackers - with two of those clear duplication - Reid and JMD. can't imagine he would ever use both Not sure how to interpret that JMD does at least take a good corner

    Penalty Decision Replay

    Unless the ref was running exactly behind the incident, in which case he would have been horribly out of position for any further action, then it must have looked like a penalty from where he stood. The odds on the defender giving away a penalty going in hard when in that part of the pitch are...
