    Marosi Dabo Hyam McFadzean Mason Bayliss Kelly Allen Jobello Hiwula Kasteener Subs: Wilson Pask Shipley Westbrooke Ngandu Biamou Bakayoko The bench isn’t the most game changing, but I’m still expecting one or two more in before next weekend.

    Bright Enobakhare

    I’ve always been impressed whenever I’ve seen him play. He definitely likes to play football and can be a stand out at this level. Still hoping for Bright though!

    Hummell

    Couldn’t resist and bought my daughter a 0-6 months kit ready for when she arrives in a few weeks. Not sure my partner will appreciate the surprise, but it was way too cute!

    Hummell

    At the shop now, a queue of around 10/15 people as it stands. Fair play to the shop for opening earlier than the tweet advertised yesterday.

    Match Thread Liverpool U23 Game - Weds - 7PM

    I’d prefer the same system as last year with Bright too, but MR is basing his current tactics on our current squad, which makes sense. If Bright comes I wouldn’t be surprised to see us revert to last seasons tactics and formation.

    Hummell

    Sold out online as I bloody forgot to pre order, despite leaving the page open on my phone as a reminder for months. I’m genuinely contemplating queuing in the morning. How bad do you think it’ll be?

    Match Thread Liverpool U23 Game - Weds - 7PM

    The two wingers have looked good so far. Chaplin wasn’t (and wouldn’t have been) a starter. The current system doesn’t require a 10.

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    Signing a number 10 and striker would be the icing on the cake, however even if we don’t I’m confident of a promotion chasing season. Hiwula will fill the striker role, and in my view he’s more than capable of doing so. Biamou is unproven, but he’s a link player so could suit a 4-3-3, with two...

    Poll:Attendance

    Everyone is absolutely entitled to their view. However, I really do think people are going to be missing a promotion season. Don’t let politics spoil your love of the club.

    Ask Neil

    Genuine question; who is Neil? I gather he’s on the board of the Trust and used to work in PR? But some of you seem to know more about him? A quick google of his name didn’t really give me much. In terms of the Trust itself, I feel a combination of apathy and contempt. I suggest I’m not the...

    Hummell

    Much to my partners displeasure I had planned to order my daughter a junior kit ready for her arrival in 6 weeks, however 0-6 and 6-12 months are sold out. Gutted!

    Helping out fellow fans Part II

    Truly amazing. We may have different views on elements on and off the pitch, but what incredibly fantastic unity from all at CCFC. Great gesture from the club; that really shouldn’t be underestimated either. I doubt many clubs would do the same.

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    Before we start worrying about his departure leaving us with a depleted strike force, let’s give MR some time to bring someone in. He also said he wouldn’t let him go without a replacement, so let’s trust that’s the truth. Plus, let’s also remember it’s unlikely he would have been starting...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    Yes - that’s my point.

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    He’s been gone one season and is only 26, he has a few more years left to prove it wasn’t a purple patch. Plus, I wouldn’t class 8 goals in 17 appearances for Hibs and an international call up as ‘fuck all’. And for the record I’m not one of those clambering to have him back, but my point...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    McNulty was different. A lot of fans has written him off, but I think that was due to a lack of footballing knowledge and purely based on goals scored. McNulty always had good movement, pace and the ability to run at defenders; it was evident he’d come good. I haven’t seen the same from Chaplin.

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    Good move for all parties. Chaplin is young and therefore has plenty of time to improve, however unlike some of you I really didn’t see much to base his potential on. I thought his movement was poor, his first touch off and despite pulling into the 10 role a lot, he was by no means creative -...

    Running

    Anyone doing or fancy this tomorrow: Coventry - Sunrise City 5K I’ve no idea why I’ve signed up a race that requires me to get up so early but I have. Actually that’s a lie, you get a medal and a t shirt - I’m a sucker for a good race ‘technical t-shirt’!

    Running

    I ran the Draycote 10k for the first time a few months ago and I quite enjoyed it as well. I like the fact it’s a regular race too. Evesham is a bit of a trek isn’t it? Do you know why Bedworth is off?
