    Ground too big for us - can we get out of it?

    Just wondering as our ground is far too big for us and it is looking likely to be way too big for us next season!!! Can we not get out of it? Even it it means groundsharing with someone for a few seasons before we find somewhere more suitable? As we are only tenants paying ridiculous rents...

    What is the chance of The Juke and Codey making a partnership?

    Back to original thread ---are Juke & Cody our number one partnership.....no can juke & Cody make a decent patnership - no not at this level Should Juke & Platt be our strikeforce given current options - yes Diamond or no diamond Platt & Juke up top is our best option at present and we need to...

    What is the chance of The Juke and Codey making a partnership?

    I do not understand what Platt has done wrong not to be starting given the other other inept options. It is clear to see Platt & Juke have to be our front two at present,,,,,it may be worth giving Cody a go at tip of diamond if we insist on playing it. Personally I would like to see Eastwood...

    Blinded by Pointless Passing

    I think that many have been blinded by the fact that we are playing "great" passing football. At Millwall in the first half we were neat and tidy but a lot of our passing was along our defence and went absolutely nowhere.....I think the Millwall players went in for a cup of tea first half and...

    Difficult to pick the right team for the New Den...

    I like in some ways 3-5-2 just feel we may be too open and have concern over wing backs in your team getting back. Think we will no doubt stick to the diamond formation intrigured to see who Thorn starts with tomorrow.

    Difficult to pick the right team for the New Den...

    ccfc seems to be in denial about Hussey! :o I would like to see Platt involved just not sure if better with Juke or McDonald, great news that Wood has shaken off knock in my opinion, tough game would be delighted with a point!

    Freshen up for Tuesday?

    Cheers The Parsons nose it is a tricky one, I did not make game yesterday but a few comments indicated that Juke looked absolutely knackered. Not surprising given the weight on his shoulders this season. I have always quite liked the Juke/Platt partnership personally but McDonald seems to be...

    Freshen up for Tuesday?

    I think with Millwall coming up we need to select and experienced/tougher team than the nice xi we normally select. As Juke is knackered I would rest him and put on bench. I think Platt could be a useful replacement for him at the New Den. Does anyone have any idea if Wood/Crainie will be...

    When Saturday Comes - Spoilt for Choices?

    Just wondering a lot of people are talking about jigging about the defence but not many seem to be juggling midfield and strikeforce which let's face it have been the weakest areas ofl the team to date. With players coming back to fitness in these areas I am also wondering if some players seen...

    Platt?

    Cody & Bigi to start seems fair enough given their second half display. However a little surprised Platt not even in the 16? Would expect both him and Deegs on the bench put him ahead of ROD anyway, any know if Platt is injured or is it just a selection choice from AT. PUSB!

    Is Our Squad Really that Bad?

    So I repeat my question earlier - is our squad really that bad? Macdonald sounded good second half...maybe Platt's comeback gave him a bit of a kick up the backside.....three people competing for two places now Wood = Two games, one goal only one goal conceeded, Crainie to come back as well...

    Is Our Squad Really that Bad?

    I have been reading a lot of threads regarding how poor our squad is. however in comparison to most of championship squads bar the big hitters such as West Ham I have to say I disagree. Going with the two players to each squad position thing we are not too bad. Goalies: Murphy - Decent chship...

    A Clingan injury means we are fooked?

    Hmm a tricky one I think personally he is majorly overrated......however we cannot afford to lose any more players at present. However worse case scenario we do have a young enthusiastic replacement in Bigi. In my opinion Clingan and himself were too similar in the team together. Do not know...

    Are We Simply Too Nice? Certainly No Crazy Gang!

    Hmm I think people are getting sidelined by our pretty but ineffective posession football which goes sideways or backwards butlacks tempo and due to this is pretty ineffective. Normally see eye to eye with non-league but not on his last post......let's break it down Passing - yes I Conceed we...

    Bring back Eastwood

    I think definitely more than meets the eye - given goal return from strikers who have been playing Eastwood should at least be on bench even if not fit. I also think Platt should start up top with Juke as it gives us the option to go long.....despite passing the ball round we only go sideways...

    Clive Platt

    Hmm a bit bemused again by dismissive quotes about Platt in comparison with Rod and cmd. Both Latter players have done far less in games and had far more minutes on the pitch. Platt had far less of game time this season and in my opinion has contibuted so much more....I for one think he would...

    Platt's the way to do it!

    Cheers folks from reading Rob's previous comments I knew he was not his biggest fan I still think he is being overly harsh though! :p Maybe he is better as an impact sub but personally think even if you think he is useless a big lump who shakes up defences is more effective than a buzzy...

    Platt's the way to do it!

    I know I am going to get stick but some people seem to have a real pren hoblem with Platt just because he is an honest journeyman. I still feel if you looked at his record in open play he has a similar record than Juke who although I like I feel is very overrated by many. Again when Platt came...

    Juke

    I think Juke is a very hard working player but in my eyes will always flatter to decieve....efoort does not equal ability. I could be wrong but if you deduct pens form Juke's goal accounts the much maligned Platt will have probably contributed more goals and assists in open play. Saw Platt &...

    One the subjeect of Pubs

    Browns what a weird place. I do not live in Coventry but tend to meet up once a year for uni reunion as studied in Cov. We have a bet can we get in Browns or not.......thing is the place is so shit when you get in there and lacking in atmosphere that you are almost upset not to get chucked...
