I have just booked a ticket for the Yeovil game. I enquired at the same time about my son's season ticket which still hasn't come and about my ticket which for some reason now has a block on its use. The lady there told me it is categorically a CCFC ticket office matter and that they...

I think there is precedent. Wilson was injured when Clarke was sold and we replaced him with Akpon who had priority over us for Arsenal youth games and the useless, lazy guy from Villa whose name escapes me. We also sold Jutkiewicz with no immediate replacement before getting Nimbly on loan (who...

I thought tickets were still on sale on the day? When I got there they had only the one turnstile open. That was for tickets but also had an "Away fans £20 " notice on it too. I thought people were able to pay on the gate despite them saying that tickets were withdrawn?

I don't agree with everything he says about the games but I enjoy reading his reports. I think they are much more entertaining than a typical fact filled account of a game that tells you who shot over the bar in the 25th minute.

City were 8/1 with Ladbrokes to win the league before yesterday's game. Now 6/1.

It happened right in front of the away end so most City fans there had a really clear view. It was a stonewall penalty. The ball was in front of Vincenti who had a clear sight for a shot on goal and would almost certainly have scored. As he went to strike the ball a Grimsby defender put his foot...

Jones too?

Not a problem. Just disagreeing with the point you made.

Just answering the comment that he had no plan B. You lose 4 good centre halves in a season it is hard to cover which is the point Mowbray was making.

We weren't relegated that season, we finished eighth. You said we had no cover for Johnson, we had 9 centre backs or players who could play there over the course of the season yet you say he was obsessed with strikers instead of looking at cover for centre half. We had nine players who could...

Didn't know Biamou's name, just kept calling out how bad the number 9 was. He started it from virtually minute one and kept it up throughout the first half. Didn't hear him after half time thankfully.

Your point was there was no plan B for Johnson being injured. My point was that this was not the case shown by the cover already at the club and by the signings made that season. Four season ending injuries to four good centre halves and he still had contingencies in place.

As mentioned both Vincelot and Stokes did play centre half that season so did cover that position when needed. Surely you can only criticise if the players brought in were not very good. I think with regard to the centre half position only Ramage could be said to have failed. He either already...

And an attack containing Wilson, Baker, Moussa and Clark and with Christi at full back and Murphy in goal. A team that he partly dismantled himself for "footballing reasons."

The leaving out and then the loaning out of O'Brien was one thing that I could not understand. To some on here he was a headless chicken. To me he was an influential and skilful player. Again if he had remained we may have got in the play offs.

Not sure what your point is. To compare Mowbray and Reid is a very odd choice. Mowbray was more than just a one match wonder (For Preston in the JPT Robins was in charge) He came in at the end of a season and turned around a team heading for relegation and saved them. He then got that same...

I think Willis did start at right back. I think most people would see him as a centre half than a full back.

During that season we had Johnson, Martin, Willis, Cargill, Turner, Stevens, Ricketts( who I had forgotten about ) Stokes ( who looked a good centre half when he played there), Vincelot who played a few games at the back and Ramage who failed. That is 9 players to cover two positions, 8 of...

One thing that I can guarantee is that there were very few of the people now slating Mowbray who were saying what a poor manager he was after that November game against Gillingham. Easy to be wise after the event. I really enjoyed watching us play under Mowbray. We played fast exciting football...

As mentioned, he did bring in replacements, 4 in all. Three who were good players (2 of which had season ending injuries themselves) and one signing who failed. If you count Willis, Martin and Stokes we had 7 players for two positions that season, 6 of which most fans would rate as either good...
