    George Hudson passed away

    Some great recollections on this thread. I know that I must have seen George play quite a few times, but sadly I was too young to appreciate it properly, and there are no clear memories other than the day we won the Third Division. But my Dad spoke his name with the kind of reverence that left...

    Today’s games

    Looking at the full table on the BBC website, showing recent form, the last 45 games played by the bottom 9 teams have yielded just 4 wins (we have one of them). None of those teams have picked up a win in the last two rounds of games. Lots of weak sides in the bottom half of the table, so any...

    Taxi for Ohare.

    Fair comment cc84, just not sure we have enough physical presence with Godden and Walker as a pair. We are struggling to play out from the back in this league and therefore hitting quite a few long high balls.

    Taxi for Ohare.

    I have a lot of doubts whether Biamou is good enough to lead the line in this league, but in the last couple of games he’s done better than I expected in general play, and contributed to improved team performances IMO. With the limited forwards we’ve got, if we play two up front Max will often...

    Are we

    I’ve got to hand it to Robins this week. At the end of Tuesday’s match when the game plan had totally failed, we looked demoralised and it was hard to see where points were going to come from this season. Heads were definitely down, so within a few days to tweak the formation and send the team...

    So proud of that huge performance!

    Sheaf and Hamer

    I agree with all this, but Godden isn’t really getting too many long balls from DM – they are mostly being pinged high at him from the keeper and the defence, and he stands very little chance of doing anything with them. In League 1 we could build from the back, because few teams were effective...

    How many players?

    Ah - Curtis, Hill, Bruck, Farmer, Kearns. Those names transport me back to my childhood! Is that really the complete list? It’s astonishing if through the Jimmy Hill years not a single forward scored in 3 divisions for us. What about the likes of Ronnie Rees? I guess Shipley has just joined...

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    While I applaud and appreciate what the OP has been doing recently, I don’t know how he can claim that “everyone believes that a new stadium should be the priority now”. I’m afraid I can’t “prioritise” something that, with the new roads and infrastructure required, is at least 5 years away IMO...

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    How do the club plan to make a modular stadium on a field even further out of town than the Ricoh an atmospheric new home that will inspire CCFC fans?

    St Andrew's it is then

    I’ll make the lengthy trek to some games at St. Andrews when Covid allows, but with a very heavy heart. Really hope the team entertains us like they did last season, because all the other stuff brings mental pain. My thoughts for what it’s worth are: SISU – catastrophic misjudgements and...

    Les Sealey

    Les Sealey was a very good keeper, a fine shot stopper but prone to the occasional bad error. He won some medals with Man United I think, and you don’t do that without talent. As has been said he left at the same time as a lot of other good players as well as the manager Sexton, there seemed to...
