    Transfer Rumour Norman Bassette

    Yes, that was the one. Obviously mixed up the players, but that was a shocker.

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Very timid today. Entire midfield below par in the first 45. Hopefully tweaks at HT will sort. But even 2.5 league games into the season, a number of people on here had already called how the weird defensive corner setup was going to cost us. Assume it's a statistically sound approach, but I'm...

    Transfer Rumour Norman Bassette

    Wasn't Moussa the victim of an atrocious challenge in a televised game at some point? All I really remember is the commentator saying it was an easy red card.

    Transfer Rumour Norman Bassette

    Always enjoy looking at the strengths and weaknesses supposedly highlighted by the stats. Solid strengths, and both of these weaknesses are easily coached with a good coaching team.

    Why didn't the ref or lino do anything about this?

    Quite enjoy the way MVE just bobbed and weaved away from the first swing. Quite elegant. Reminded me of a young Prince Naseem Hamed.

    Transfer Rumour Oliver Dovin

    As someone who loved the blood and thunder football of the past when players could maim each other without getting a yellow card, I'm confused by goalies who stay on their line rather than clattering players to get the ball - but I think it's just the modern way. You rarely see keepers claim a...

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    Stoke look bouyant. We look very muted. But MR has always played it safe first half, then gone for it more in the second. Expect a 0-0 now, but wouldn't be surprised if we turn it on a little more in the second half.

    New players new songs?

    I sincerely apologise for this in advance, as it's awful. But to the tune of Sexbomb. Ephron, Ephron, you're our Ephron And baby you can turn it on.

    Acknowledging it was a friendly, that was a genuinely top notch performance. Exciting going forward, solid at the back, inventive in midfield, set pieces of real quality. Incredibly excited for the season now.

    Home shirt is fastest selling in CCFC History

    I got the shirt and shorts yesterday. Avoided the socks, so I can't technically be called a full kit wanker. Never bought the shorts before, but think the combination looks really good. I'm usually a large, but as per the last few seasons had to go XL for a decent fit. Only negative was that...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    He has a goatee now. Officer Crabtree, that is. Not sure about David Rennie.

    when was the darkest era for the club?

    Burge sent off, Reda missing a penalty that I still have no idea why he took. Wasn't this the infamous pissgate game too? I'll be honest, I didn't go again after this until Pressley was sacked. I hated him with a passion that was perhaps slightly irrational.

    when was the darkest era for the club?

    Jordan Turnbull jumping ship because he didn't want to play in the 4th tier was my low point. When a player who may as well have played with a blindfold on decides your club is beneath them, then you know things are rough.

    Which teams do we think will be top 6 this season?

    I could easily swap any of the top four around, and any of fifth to eighth too, but I think this'll be there or thereabouts. 1. Sheffield Utd 2. Burnley 3. Luton 4. Leeds 5. Middlesborough 6. Norwich 7. West Brom 8. Coventry

    Good spot. Possibly Todd Kane too, but I can't recall if there was a fee.

    Starting 11

    Agreed - teams were needing to double up on Sakamoto, which left more space for the others. He was integral to our improvement, and almost unplayable at times.

    Transfer Rumour Raphael Borges Rodriguez signs for Coventry

    As people keep asking if he'll be in the U21s, here's the direct quote: Robins told CoventryLive: “Rapha is going to be part of the first team squad. He’s a young player who has come over from the other side of the world so he is someone who is an interesting person and interesting player. “He...
