    Certain players frailties were exposed today - Mowbray

    McSheffrey is the best example of this, numerous bad performances were met with numerous excuses by fans unwilling to admit the truth. I won't go into the embarrassingly ridiculous cheering his goal AGAINST us. To a degree, home grown players should receive a level of protection from the...

    Is the Ricoh to big

    They are professional sportsman doing a "job" that is the envy of most men in the country, being monetarily rewarded ridiculously well, regardless of crowd size and/or stadium size they should give 100%. Equally, they are humans with emotions, so running out into a 3/4 empty stadium, when...

    Barton i just trod in something

    Agree, especially Fleck (which is the point I made earlier re the difference in reaction to Barton and Fleck). Ward is similar but he does like to occasionally drive forward with the ball. I agree Thomas is similar in that he comes deep to get the ball, wants the ball to feet etc, but he's...

    Is anyone going to do the player ratings ....

    Proschwitz can take some credit, but only in the context of how poor the others were. Him and Nouble up front do not work. Proschwitz will offer himself short or try to get into the box for crosses, but won't run behind; it's not his game. I still have no real idea what Nouble is, he's built...

    Barton i just trod in something

    I agree, to a point at least. Not all midfielders are goal scorers or creators or tacklers. There's another kind, who's typology is to do the simple things and efficiently recycle the ball, á la Michael Carrick. How well that sort of players works in League One, or specifically in our system...

    Barton i just trod in something

    Im genuinely not trying to be contentious, but are we proposing the ability of a player is purely determined by the number of goals and assists they contribute?

    nouble

    Never understood why he was so loved in the first place, hearing fans chant his name instantly infuriates me. Glad more fans are seeing how lazy and useless he is, worrying Mowbray isn't.

    What's the point of this club

    Please go 'on and on' I'm genuinely intrigued as to how negative this will get!

    My posts during the game today, pretty accurately sum up another frustrating and disappointing afternoon at the Ricoh.

    Barton i just trod in something

    Completely agree with this. He was poor today and he isn't necessarily a stand out player, but the criticism he gets is unfair, especially in comparison to the praise others get for performing the same tasks e.g. "backward" passing. The majority of fans made their mind up about Barton a while...

    Nouble is a lazy lazy twat, how people rate him I will never know. How many goals has he cost us this season by not tracking his man. He adds nothing.

    I love fans who come to one game a season and are experts on all things CCFC.

    Summary of the first half (and the blueprint we seem to follow most games): We dominate. They score on the counter. We fall apart.

    Queues outside the ground, even for ST holders. Joke. How hard is it to allocate appropriate resource?

    2 - 1, Barton to score anytime and shut the idiotic Barton haters around me up*. *I'm not saying he's a world beater but the abuse he gets is not justified.

    So my dislike for Chris Dunn, based on those highlights, is justified!
