    Cody Macdonald may return Saturday

    Cody is a finisher and has some pace. sadly we have only seen him when building match fitness up so hardly a time to judge him on the occasions he has played so far. Match fitness which needs to be redefined as 'match ready' as a better term is very important. I assume he will make the bench...

    A simply poll question re: Andy Thorn

    "keep him to the end of the season, as nobody can save us with the players we have in our squad!" Don't accept that Mr Ready....not one bit!

    Sisu can't replace Thorn whilst a takeover is ongoing

    The posters headline is preposterous!

    For those who suggest we are not playing more kids than anyone else i.e. Derby

    I agree largely with both your post OSB. I do think CCFC is badly managed from top to bottom (in a similar way I believe the NHS is too!) and it's hardly rocket science to get things better organised and learn to adapt. I do think AT is maligned a little too often though and most comments are...

    A simply poll question re: Andy Thorn

    Good point. Law of averages perhaps? David Moyes is a good example. Nothing come from there yet has there? Everyone bulls him up but has he won anything or got close yet? Fergie on the other hand has had great success in his very long spell but lets be realistic.....what manager would not...

    If true no wonger takeover is taking forever

    PWKH I suggest then as OSB is intimating talks are at an impasse because if there is no talk in this direction then I can't see what kind of a deal Hoffman could be assembling without this being a party to it all?

    If true no wonger takeover is taking forever

    "At present nobody has talked to or has planned talks with the Higgs Charity about the possibility of buying the Charity's shares in ACL." ...and you know this from who?

    Parting of the sea

    hang on Rich87... Are you suggesting Juke was our golden boy? For me he was poor at best. As a striker his goals ratio was poor from open play. When we sold him I thought that was good business. He was a player that was never going to be the difference between us being good or bad. I think...

    A simply poll question re: Andy Thorn

    You are right that sacking managers too often can be a negative. Can I just remind you all however that the managers CCFC have sacked in recent years have all been disastrous appointments? I don't believe keeping any of them would have eased our cause and sacking them (regardless of how...

    Why AT is a good manager!

    I do sympathise with Thorn to an extent but overall he has not made good decisions and those decisions in games I have watched cost us points. His man management is suspect. The eastwood saga is one. Told to find another club but now back in the team? I had it on good authority not so long...

    Parting of the sea

    This argument keeps coming back and folks you have very selective memory! Of the players we lost in that list Westwood was at times well over rated for me and he is currently on the bench at Sunderland having failed to keep his place, Turner was injured for almost all of that season, Gunnarrson...

    Andy Thorn

    ...I'm sorry but I thought the only thing Juke was any good at was taking penalties! On many, many occasions he couldn't hit a barn door. As for holding up play and bringing others into it Platt is as good and rather like Juke on many occasions pretty ineffective yesterday. The system must...

    Andy Thorn

    i agree but with reserve. Forest are in fact a classic example. They have quality in their squad all over the place but until yestaerday can't score goals. It's how you coach and set up what you have. You can't continue to blame lack of quality or kids. Nimely has himself had plenty of chances...

    Joe Murphy

    Goalkeepers at this level seem to be a much of a muchness. Westwood is not currently in the Sunderland who we thought so highly of? Murphy is a good shot stopper, he has a good coach in Oggy and I have seen good improvement in him this season.

    Geoff Foster, Poor Interviewer....missed a Trick

    These radio host are poor by my standards. I worked radio for a short while and i could do better! Be aware though that before any interview takes place a pre-determined line of questions is usually established but it's up to the interviewer to be more probing until rebuffed!

    Andy Thorn

    Wow! feelings run high about our manager. Hmm. Accusations apart, deep divisions in the running of the club play a big part BUT tbf I think that is masking everyone's opinion slightly. If I'm being honest we do actually have a half decent team, one which has competed all season and acquitted...

    Delayed reactions

    I could have got them to win there today! They would have come out like men possessed second half. Notable to see the difference on camera between Cotteril and Thorn. One directing and encouraging no matter how much in hope and the other silent, wishing and wondering what to do next.
