    Observations since TM came in...

    Nick if I was a brain surgeon in Falkirk I'd expect to be a brain surgeon in Walsgrave too. It may in your or others opinions to be 'obvious' he did not know what he was doing months ago but tbh I think that is unfair given the circumstances he was operating in. He got his fair crack of the...

    Pressley suing CCFC

    It all comes down to the finite terms in his contract. many football clubs never pay up a full contract and I bet there will be no difference with Gus Poyet either. It may well be that his contract is payable on minimum results and if anything less it affects his pay structure, who knows? I...

    Observations since TM came in...

    No Nick, everyone deserves a fair crack at the whip or how would we have known for sure? SP was getting worse towards the end but the season before he did do very well. The results just leading up to his sacking actually were improving albeit too many draws. But it had become clear that the risk...

    Observations since TM came in...

    Not true Astute. I simply defended SP position at a time when most were calling for his head too soon. The remarks we always get is the 'revolving door' and I tried hard to give the guy a chance but did not defend his record. As that worsened towards the end even I could not find a way to defend...

    Percy my reply was not about your comments re haynes. It was the general message of the op but my phone seems to only reply on the back of a thread and just happened to be yours. I would actually agree about Haynes, would love to see him back in.

    Observations since TM came in...

    After all the jibes about this team is not good enough under any manager and without SISU investment we will remain doomed, It's amazing that after a couple of games people are now prepared to suggest promotion next year and under TM we are now miraculously all conquering winners! I think...

    Fleetwood (A) match thread

    I have faith in TM and the confidence he is building instantly by getting Fleck to play and Ward brought in along side him. He will attack looking for points so expect us to be leading but can we hold on.

    What would make you happier?

    If we were relatively successful in the championship constantly fighting for promotion each year and the occasional year or two in the premier league would you be much happier with that than 34 years spent where 26 of those were a struggle to stay up?

    Fans will have a go at their club/team/manager no matter what league they are in simply dependant on the winning ratios on the pitch. Everton are not having a great season are they? However conversely Bristol are top of our league and though they are not in the top flight I bet fans there are...

    Chesterfield Match Thread

    We can't affect what happens below us as they each play each other but if we win it is an obvious gain over them. It is a must win today. Second half is where we should see the TM factor at play surely?

    The Attendance Solution?

    No matter who owns us it's the performances on the pitch that dictate the attendance. If SISU pumped in stacks of money and we became a good side people would not be staying away because they hated their owners. Conversely if TM turned this bunch of no hopes into a successful side attendances...

    Sign of improvement?

    Yes leadership. If only there were a Dennis Wise character around? Can you think of one?

    Sign of improvement?

    So to sum up: Yes we are improving. Going forward more and creating chances. Fleck has improved but the midfield is still a problem area that needs urgent attention. Improvement and prepared to go forward seems to last only the first half and we lack fitness overall. The other downside is the...

    Sign of improvement?

    I've been unable to attend the last few games unfortunately but after SP left we have faced 3 games under TM or tbf 2 games. Both at home and against reasonable opposition with last nights Bradford team having a terrific season. Out of these two games under TM have we visibly improved? With...

    Bradford match thread

    Depends what he has been working on in training. This is where we laymen have to defer to the experience of TM. Difficult though isn't it?

    To get some perspective and realise its not all doom and gloom then those stats Otis show clearly what I've said before : we are drawing too many and 1 point for a draw too many times is what's putting us in this mess. TM should be able to turn draws into wins even with this squad in my...

    Fisher on new stadium

    I think WASP are going to find it very difficult to sustain the Rico and will need to give more away to CCFC in oder to remain viable themselves. Eventually a deal may surface, if not for SISU maybe for a new owner of the football club. Can't help thinking where we're the Hoffman/Elliot cartel...

    That's why footballs a funny old game CCFC. Give TM a game or two and we will see a difference.
