    Get rid before next season starts

    Willis still worries me at right back. His distribution is awful, as is his control. I see him as a physical, no nonsense, whack it into the stands, centre back and nothing else.

    Anyone got any suggestions on anywhere to go today?

    They seem to have expanded somewhat since last time we went. Didn't recognise a lot of it and a number of things changed. After last time we went we said we were never going back again, but yesterday it was much more enjoyable. Still need some more monkeys though.

    Plan b and dealing with opposition changes

    It's fine if you are scoring more than the opposition, but not only are we letting in silly goals, the goals have dried up at the other end too. Don't worry though, on the back of letting in silly goals, not scoring up the other end, losing 4 out of the last 6 home games, losing 8 out of the...

    Get rid before next season starts

    Yep, a loan might do him a world of good. The lad is always prone to errors and if he can't rectify that he is not much use to us. His errors nearly always seem to be costly ones too, akin to Ricketts.

    Colchester (Home) Match Thread

    Aren't I right in saying that Jack Stephens was only missing for Friday's game and should be back? Is that correct?

    Colchester (Home) Match Thread

    We may well lose. We have just one home win in the last six matches and have have lost four of them. Colchester will be desperate too, trying to emulate their great escape from last year. I don't think we will lose though. I reckon it will be a draw. Bradford play at Crewe today and if they...

    Anyone got any suggestions on anywhere to go today?

    Glad you had a good day! :) We did too and the only complaint I have about Twycross zoo is how many monkeys they have. There's a distinct lack of them. I expected to see monkeys everywhere and at every turn, but it just didn't happen. They really need to sort out their monkey deficiency, so...

    Get rid before next season starts

    He was poor last season and I wanted rid. This season he has indeed been transformed. Don't think we should be writing RCC off just yet. He's young and he's learning and this season should prove to be invaluable experience for him. I was all for giving the likes of Aaron Phillips time too, but...

    Give TM a chance

    Yep, exactly. So many teams have done just that against us, pressed us, harried us, closed us down, nullified us. For some bizarre reason Peterborough didn't do that in that first half and stood off us and allowed us to play our way through them. Hence the much improved first half display...

    The night manager

    Excellent stuff! Really grips you and involves you, so you care what happens to the characters. Was really rooting for Pine and Angela. Apparently it cost £3m an episode to make. Sumptuous, engaging, brilliantly acted and surely going on to win a stack of awards, especially Hugh Laurie and Tom...

    But my mum had never ever talked about it before. It had been locked away for years and never ever talked about. Completely forgotten. Why would my mum suddenly come out with 'oh, by the way, I have my grandad's pocket watch locked away, oh and I better tell you, it cost him 2 shillings and 6...

    Give TM a chance

    Of course it had something to do with how we played. No doubt about that. If you watch the game again though, just look at how poor Peterborough are and how poor their marking was and how they allowed us space. Any team allows us space and we can be dangerous. What we have had in reality though...

    What about Cov rugby and Cov Sphinx and Coventry Bees and Coventry Jets?

    Also wanted to add, as we were doing it, it didn't make any sense at all to us. We had no idea what it was talking about and we all gave each other blank looks. Just sounded a lot of nonsense to us. When we told our mum though she was shocked and confirmed everything. Even if one of my...

    Yep, heard that before, but I swear my brothers and I didn't even know the watch existed and our mum had never ever talked about it before, because she had forgotten she even had it. Where would the 2 and 6 come from?

    Give TM a chance

    To my mind we did cut them apart because they were so poor. Worst team I have seen this season. Remember after the Bury game when a number of City fans questioned how good we were and how bad Bury had been? I was one of those at first, though did think City player really well too. Our record...

    Give TM a chance

    They were saves any keeper would be expected to make. A keeper should never be beaten at his near post. Golden rule. The keeper was therefore expected to save the near post shots of Murphy and Fortune. He dealt with them well though. Could have parried them back into play, but put them out...

    Only thing unexplained was when I was about 9 I think. Me and my two older brothers were playing about with an Ouija board and we 'contacted' someone who purported to be our great grandad. We asked for something that could prove who he was and the board spelled out that there was a pocket watch...

    My missus is exactly the same. Then to top it all, anything homosexual or lesbian and she wants the channel changing. I kid you not, but we are not even allowed to use the words gay or lesbian in our house. If I say anything to my daughter, my wife goes mental!
