    THE DIAMOND IS FLAWED - Let us now start winning UGLY !!!

    NLHWC, Excellent response, good incisive thinking and makes a lot of sense but the brunt of my thread was not to abandon the diamond completely but to vary the tactics during the game. The diamond operates well up to about the halfway line and then it pitter patters into negativity by...

    THE DIAMOND IS FLAWED - Let us now start winning UGLY !!!

    Tippex9, Those "few" wins under Thorn last season were 3 out of 10 - season to date 2 wins out of 14 - patience is running on empty at moment. PUSB

    Prediction League Banter 2011 / 2012

    Still clinging on to page1 @ 28th position on 111 points. Looking at my track record I have only managed 11 correct forecasts out of 165 matches - pathetic - I thought I was an expert. PUSB

    THE DIAMOND IS FLAWED - Let us now start winning UGLY !!!

    So that's it then blunder on with a system that in theory can be productive but in reality has yielded naff all to date for our club. Two wins to date epitomises the gap we now have to bridge - I can only hope that there are three teams worse than us beyond that I dread to think. PUSB

    THE DIAMOND IS FLAWED - Let us now start winning UGLY !!!

    Well another "disappointing" (I am being too kind) result - few real efforts on target, score first can't keep the lead - score two would be a miracle - same old same old. Doesn't it sum it up that Clingan, by scoring today, is now our second leading goal scorer with just 1 goal - it beggars...

    Championship 2011 stats

    It doesn't seem to matter what manager/chairman/board we have apart from one Micky Adams season the points accumulation is always about the same year in year out - CRAP. PUSB

    Championship 2011 stats

    The stats do indeed paint a very very worrying picture and the reality becomes even more apparant when extrapolating the results against a projected 46 game season. 6 wins and 14 draws represents 32 points out of a possible 105 - when apportioned against a 46 game (138 point max possible...

    Ah, fotballs dark ages,thank god we left them behind

    Being an old git I have plenty of sad memories of what it used to be and it certainly wasn't pleasant. Some matches you'd fear for your life before during and after the game when the likes of Leeds, Millwall, West Ham animals invaded Highfield Road. Bottles, bricks, seats (Leeds of course)...

    Prediction League Banter 2011 / 2012

    Hell's Bells I am in serious danger of falling off the first page in 28th position and 107 points having once been 4th !!! Oh the shame of it PUSB

    MAN CITY - UK Barcelona ???

    I have to agree Wingy, As I've always preached it's not a level playing field when some clubs have limitless funds which is an enormous advantage - try comparing Norwich to Man City for comparable investment levels. However looking closer to home Leicester invested £13M under Sven and now...

    MAN CITY - UK Barcelona ???

    11 goals in two away games - total domination - could have been 7 or 8 tonight even with a makeshift team. Is it too early to compare Man City with the great Barcelona ??? It isn't the quantity of goals (and that's mighty impressive) but the patient build up, loads of possession than bang...

    TACTICS (2) - Playing Time Out

    Why are we so incapable of seeing time out when we are winning/drawing in additional time. We seem to invite the opposition to bombard us with wave after wave of attacks by backing off or surrendering the ball. Conversely the opposition in the same circumstances play keep ball in their own...

    The slating of Andy Thorn

    I agree Otis but we are just not scoring goals - if we are 1-0 down it's a mountain to climb to score 2 and win (we struggle to score 1 !!! - other players must weigh in like other teams specially midfield - if the Juke gets injured where on earth will the goals come from ?? If the diamond is...

    The slating of Andy Thorn

    I hope SISU haven't got their calculator out - Sven sacked for only 2 wins in 7 games, AT with 5 wins in 23 games could come under risk of the cosh - the only saving grace is that Sven spent £13M in thirteen months and AT 13 pence. The diamond is clearly not working 10 goals in 13 games half...

    SUICIDAL TACKLING - Will they ever learn

    Yet again another spate of suicidal tackles reducing teams to 10 and even 9 players on the park at the weekend. The majority of these "tackles" involve players completely missing the ball by yards but homing in on opponents legs with full venom - many are under the ref's nose so surely they...

    TACTICS - Vulnerable on Corner Kicks

    Why does AT insist on all 10 outfield players defending corners which very often results in the corner being headed/kicked upfield straight to the opposition where it's then hoofed straight back in to our pen area again. It does not make one iota of sense to me - if we had just one player on...

    Chris Hussey

    Let's give credit where it's due and not keep knocking our young players - Hussey is playing superbly at the moment and is getting better each game - still only 21 and looks the part of late. It's a lot to expect of CH playing ultra wide and demanding constant back tracking when passes go...

    graham scott

    Surely all 12,000+ fans cannot all be wrong when howling in unison at that apology of a ref. I don't usually rage at refs as I know it's a very difficult job but that idiot ruined the game for CCFC and even if we had won I would'nt have changed my mind - what a plonker; especially when his...
