Not had a chance to read SBT all week, so I’ve behind on all the threads. However I’ve just read through this one and it’s quite refreshing to see, on the whole, positivity and confidence re today’s game. I certainly share it, and I’m going 3-0, Godden, Walsh, O’Hare. While it would be...

We seem to have dropped off since our strong start. Sunderland have upped the intensity but that can’t last for 90 minutes. I think we’ll start to dominate and play our game more this half. They look vulnerable at the back and stand off when we attack. I said during the Rotherham game that...

Feeling confident of a victory, but I actually feel more pressure for this game than Rotherham. The draw was a good result and while another draw is fine, a victory, and therefore 4 points from 2 tough games, absolutely sends a message and gives even more confidence to all around CCFC. We were...

Anyone else think Kelly isn’t fully fit?

Ref has absolutely lost control of this game. Again, when we step it up we look a superior team. Game is absolutely ours for the taking. We’re a different team this half.

Looked a pen in real time. Anyone on iFollow confirm?

We need to get the ball down, up the tempo and play football. They look vulnerable when we do.

Always resist saying it as it sounds like sore loser, but this ref is abysmal. As are his assistants. They are around the ref after every decision and it’s working.

THEY'RE CLEARLY TOP OF THE LEAGUE FOR A REASON. Such arrogance to think we’d come back into it. Note the negativity is mainly from those who aren’t here.

Fine, but what about the team you’re watching tonight? They are top of the league and like that. Agree we need to get into the game. We haven’t started yet. I stand by them being a poor footballing side. They are incredibly direct and one dimensional - can you recall them putting a move...

See my response to Grendel.

Our front two are very ineffective thus far. We still look intimidated. Again though if we can get it down, they definitely have vulnerabilities.

Is it? They’re an effective unit, doesn’t mean they’re a great footballing team. Numerous examples of this over the years. Any thoughts on the game?

But shit at football! Their 19 is their only decent footballer.

Pitch is a very fast and that doesn’t impact them as they are very route one. We’ve probably had 2/3 spells of passing the ball ans they can’t cope. We need to stop being scared, get the ball down and use the space they leave. They’ve had a positive start, but once we grow in confidence I...

Hate to say it but we do look intimidated.

It’s clear they absolutely rely on long ball and set pieces. Don’t think there’s much mobility there though. Play football and I think we play through them. They are very much an aggressive pressing team, which while dangerous, means it only takes a good bit of play to get through them.

Ball skidding everywhere already. Conditions are awful. They are potentially the biggest team I’ve seen all season. They don’t look technically great though.

SISU out! In all seriousness, that’s not good.

Two up front = statement of intent from MR. Plus it’s extra height in our team. Still a strong bench that can change the game too. Positive stuff.
