    Running

    I did the Northbrooke 10k in Coventry on Sunday morning. It was through the country lanes around Corley Moor/Hawkes End etc, so was quite a hilly route, but a nice one. I’m looking for a race this Sunday (5k, 10k, half marathon), but can’t find one local enough!

    Hiwula

    He could comfortably play the lone striker role, albeit dependent on the style of football we play, and who plays 10. His movement is very good, as is his technical ability (even if it too some a while to realise), so he could suit playing up front, but we’d need to ensure we’re playing...

    First ‘Home’ Game Attendance

    I’d be happy with 6-7k considering the circumstances. There’ll be extra pressure on MR and the team to perform too, as a convincing performance and victory could both attract more for the next game and maintain some day trippers. Our team is more experienced this season, with a lot having...

    Exactly this. Pace is obviously a massive asset but it isn’t vital and can be mitigated by good positioning and footballing intelligence. By all accounts McFadzean has a lot of experience and while slow, I don’t expect him to be caught for pace.

    Jordan Willis

    He was a good servant to the club and it’s always nice to see an academy player have such a positive impact and contribution to the team. I would prefer him to have stayed, however he's by no means irreplaceable, and I’d argue we’ve replaced him already. Pace is an asset for any central...

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    Another winger? Either he’s packing the squad full of potential starting talent in order to have a strong bench or he see’s Kasteener playing 10?

    Ponti

    I really really hope this works out, as his scoring record for the U21/23 etc is impressive. I’ve never seen it myself, as the few opportunities he’s had, his positional sense and technique haven’t been good enough, but equally he’s not had a fair chance in his proper position. He’d barely get...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    Ideally we’d be in Coventry, but it’s not going to happen. Once you accept that, the thought of St Andrews is actually quite exciting (in context). I drove past the Ricoh yesterday and felt contempt. I hope it becomes a white elephant and an absolute embarrassment for the council. I doubt any...

    The Facebook Forum!

    Never been on there and I have zero intention of ever visiting it. I get frustrated enough with the single minded, one dimensional and ignorant posters on here. And from what I’ve read their nothing compared to Facebook!

    Bright Enobakhare

    This thread is such a tease. Every time there’s a new post, I have those few seconds of hope it’s finally the one confirming we’ve signed him and therefore taken another step towards the L1 championship. Not to get carried away.

    Sightings of CCFC Footballers (away from the pitch)

    Dave Bennett is always in the Attleborough Arms. He’s mates with my girlfriends Dad (although not sure how much her Dad actually likes him) and he’s coming to a baby party we’re having in a few weeks. I’ve warned the venue! I’ve been on holiday with James Collins and Jamie Paterson a fair few...

    Shipley

    He’s definitely good enough for L1. I felt for him last year as until the last few games, I can’t remember him playing in his favoured position. He looks a much better player in the middle than out wide. Technically he is quite good, he can pick a pass and will hold his position. However, he...

    Match Thread Leamington match thread

    Sounds like a good start to pre season. Does anyone have footage of the goals?

    Anyone doing the Leamington half tomorrow? I nipped out for a quiet pint three hours ago, probably not ideal prep.

    Kit launch at Coombe Abbey

    I know I’m being slow, but where do you order? I can’t find anything online!

    Kit launch at Coombe Abbey

    I genuinely can’t remember the last time I bought a football kit, and I’ve always cringed seeing grown men/women in replica tops, however our home shirt is way too smart, I’m 100% buying one. The CLUB seem to be doing everything right, especially in such a difficult situation.

    Lee Burge

    I agree, I always liked Clingan. You wouldn’t want him as your sole play maker ideally, but he was tidy on the ball and could keep things ticking.

    How much more than standard ST’s are they?

    Kit launch at Coombe Abbey

    Whatever the cost, it would be absolutely worth it if the new kit was unveiled by Bright. Imagine the reaction! Unlikely I know, but after the positive on field start to the season, we can’t rule anything out....
