But surely when the burger goes over easily onto the floor it'll be nothing to do with him and it's the grill's fault, who's had it in for him from the start of his shift.

Syncopated? Is that a mix of Sycophantic and Synchronised? They both fall over together and suck up to the ref afterwards?

They're quite big fellas so they're more likely to be shot (which I think would be agreeable to a few on here) (EDITED FOR GRAMMAR POLICE)

Firstly, 'the club' aren't the claimant in the case. This leads to my second point - that the owners will not give ownership of the stadium to the club - it will have it's own holding company which CCFC will have to pay to rent the ground. Like ACL just with someone else getting the rent...

With 5 strikers I'd hope we were very much thinking inside the box - no midfield to pick up second balls outside it

If we do get another striker in(!) I could possibly see Nuneaton asking the question of if they can loan him for a bit. Don't know if either the club or JP would be OK with that but 'men's' football would probably be better than U23 and as we've seen ourselves players do sometimes end up going...

Is this more cryofftherapy?

As for 4-4-2 I don't think we should be fixated on it, but with the players we have at the moment it would seem the best bet to get the most out of them bar maybe Andreu who could be one of the two up front or an alternative to Bayliss. The thing about being fixated with a system is when people...

Oh for a team like that now, although Whelan for me was always a back-up striker and Froggatt would be LW. Shaw should never have been more than a back-up either. Not quick, not tall or muscular, but reasonably decent positional sense to be a nuisance jockeying backwards trying to hold up play...

I seem to remember during the Hughes era we played a lot of 4-5-1/4-3-3 with strikers out wide which never worked.

FWIW the few times I saw Ponti play at youth level he seemed like a natural forward and goalscorer. He made intelligent runs into space and 'knew where the goal was' - without looking up he instinctively got his efforts on target. That counts for a great deal at any level of football. I'd say...

I agree. Right now if does feel the squad is bloated but come Xmas/New Year if we've picked up a few injuries the matchday squad may well be picking itself. Does always seem like those team with larger squads seem to have fewer injuries though. Possibly due to being able to occasionally rest a...

Only listened on the radio but we sounded much improved with the different formation and players more familiar with each other. As someone else has put, I think a lot of the new players will improve but we've shoved too many in at the same time. Robins tried a revolution when he just needed an...

It kind of makes sense though. We play well and win there's not really much to say. "Well Clive, I'm really happy with the result and performance and felt everyone played well" Not really adding much to the conversation are you. When we lose/don't play well everyone has their opinion why not so...

But you could also argue playing him from the start would allow us to get into the game more because his pace will stop them putting us under pressure so much. On the other hand, if they control the match for an hour they'll have pushed higher up, we bring Thomas on and he has space and the...

Different expectations. Losing regularly in the PL was considered OK as long as we stayed up. After relegation we were expecting better, but were often also rans or in danger. Yes, that's also to do with financial troubles but if a manager is losing games and doesn't look like turning it around...

It does seem like there might be something we need to look at, particularly in pre-season, because all three have happened very early on in the season. Hopefully this means the system will change and best wishes to Max for his recovery. At least with his new contract he doesn't have to worry...

Agree, away from home. At home I'd prefer Ogogo and Bayliss as we need to take the bull by the horns a bit more, then bring Doyle on near the end if we're winning to close games out.

I just felt he was a little bit better in terms of marshalling the defence, possibly due to being more experienced than Westwood during his time here. Technically, Westwood was probably the better keeper. But I'd be happy with either of them between the sticks (if they were being assessed on...
