    McNulty

    I agree, but then again he's never really set L1 alight.

    Say what you like about work rate, but JCH is making a real difference to this team.

    Ken Dodd.... rip

    I went to see him when I was a nipper. I remember nothing, apart from the fact that my sister bought a tickling stick and spent the next few weeks torturing me with it.

    Match Thread Wycombe Match Thread

    Off topic, but just listening to CWR and heard a mention of Adi Viveash, which made me think of Steve Taylor. Long winded way of asking if anyone knows how his recovery is progressing? His absence seems to be forgotten in this up-and-down season.

    Government must introduce an independent regulator for English football

    It depends what powers the regulatory body holds as to whether this is good or bad. The principle is sound; an organisation to uphold standards. But what if they have the power to stop a club from trading, or to dole out fines that are unmanageable for the smaller clubs? The fans are the ones...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Mansfield Town Match Thread - Saturday 24th Feb

    I think we'd be playing 451 now if Andreu hadn't been injured. There's no other proper attacking midfielder in the squad, and that is a damn shame. We can all see the issue - midfielders too deep, and the two strikers often too far away from each other.

    New header

    What we would give for them now. There are hundreds of fringe players from the past who would walk into the current set-up. Edit to add that Le Tissier is my favourite player of all time. Although Speedie ran him close. Those who are too young to remember Le Tiss should youtube his best goals...

    FFS! WE ARE STILL ONLY 3 POINTS FROM THE PLAYOFFS!!!

    At some point we have to hit the bottom of the cycle. Whether it is now, next season, the season after...who knows? But one thing is for sure, changing managers year in, year out doesn't help. Look at the clubs who keep / kept managers around; the extremes of Man Utd and Arsenal , Burnley...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    I have two tipping points. One would be if he can't arrest the slide, and we end up slipping down to 12th - 14th at the end of the season. The second would be if he can't solve the issue with away form. He needs to loosen the shackles a little, and let them attack. Playing for draws is no good...

    FFS! WE ARE STILL ONLY 3 POINTS FROM THE PLAYOFFS!!!

    You know what, I actually do. It's not like we have any players on unsustainable wages for once. And sure, we may lose a youngster or two, but as long as we keep the bulk of the players we'll be ok - and if we don't hit the D4 playoffs, why would anyone want to bid megabucks for any of our...

    FFS! WE ARE STILL ONLY 3 POINTS FROM THE PLAYOFFS!!!

    Our two best players (on paper) have barely kicked a ball all season. How many division 4 clubs have the strength in depth to cope with that? The fact that we're still up there competing with a team of little more that journeymen and kids that are in their first season together says a lot. If we...

    Who's good enough IF......

    Fair enough.

    Who's good enough IF......

    Because Grimmer is out, not because he's first choice.

    Who's good enough IF......

    If Willis is the best right back you've seen here, then I assume you're either quite young or old enough to have cataracts. He's a centre-back who can play on the right in an emergency. Whether he's a good centre-back or not is a different question. And stop being so defensive. Christ, even I...

    What an odd response.

    Who's good enough IF......

    I stopped reading at 'Willis first choice right back'.

    Poll

    We had an extremely unbalanced squad at the end of last season. We now have a slightly more balanced team, but there are still obvious gaps. It was never guaranteed to be a 1 year promotion given the rebuild that was needed, and imho the number of 2 year contracts we offered seem to hint that...
