Rich, even with AT at the helm with his more attacking diamond formation does indeed restrict some of the more natural advenutrous elements in our midfield players none more obvious than Bigi and Connor two young and aspiring players having natural flair coached out of them at such an early...

Yes Rev I had a moment like that back in 1963 when I was 20. I had just sold my Triumph motorcycle on the Wednesday as a deposit for my first (but very ancient) car for which I was to pick up on Friday afternoon (6th July - boy do I remember it) The plan was simple - I was to catch the bus...

If it's the Perry Suckling goalkeeper this is his brief career resume' born 12th Oct 1965 Played for: CCFC (83-86) - 27 games Man City (86-88) - 39 C Palace (88-92) - 59 Watford (92-940 - 39 Doncaster Rovers (94-96) - 30 games England U 21's (86-88) - 10 Could find no mention of him...

Rich, Spot on there with your observation - pass and move as you say should be simple but as a whole we (England team and majority of Prem sides) just cannot carry out this simple game plan. Spain are thinking three/four moves ahead - you can see some of their players making huge runs to...

Nick, New server great BUT when I switch on to SBT it defaults to a Bulletin Message "Our records show you have already registered under the name of.............." etc I can then call up Forum, say, and operate as before Is this rectifiable Nick PUSB

Well folks thanks for that response it prompted a fair bit of discussion. Done a quick straw poll on your inputs and coupled with my previous research it looks like this could be the preferred election: WINNER: Michael Mifsud SECOND: John Williams THIRD: Darren Huckerby As a footnote...

sw88 Out of the three categories I did place AG and GMc in the third and you can't argue they were not quick compared to say the Juke/Bell/Cody/Sammy etc and don't forget it includes moving with the ball as well PUSB

Thanks Nick, should have known better - possibly too much Nigerian lager tonight and got carried away - OAP's are allowed a bit of discretion, surely. PUSB

Sorry forgot to add that the the maestro Messi was'nt playing - a major let off for Scotland PUSB

Just watched a "rather" one sided game between Spain and Scotland tonight and have got to ask the question why are we (the British) so far apart with respect to ability, skill, fitness etc compared to the Spanish national team and the Spanish league teams. It was there for all to see - no...

Yes, Kevin Gallacher was indeed fast, Super Quick category for me - he played for CCFC from 1990 - 1993 and scored 28 goals in 100 league games

Yes folks what an omission Mifsud defo in super quick category but Hucks still shades it for me as he retained the ball more on his runs where as MM at times lost his way

Lots of posts on SBT ref our lack of pace in the team so I was just wondering, for a bit of fun, to get an opinion of who indeed have been our "speed merchants" over the last 20 years and to nominate the fastest of them all. So, just to lay the ground rules each player must have been on CCFC's...

Sorry folks, being a harbinger of doom again. Just looked at this season's average home gates to date (5 games) of our neighbours: Derby - 24,415 - (73% of capacity) Forest - 23,336 - (76%) Fester - 22,925 - (71%) Brum - 18,321 - (61%) CCFC - 14,699 - (45%) Says it all doesn't it !!! PUSB

stevo1987 I am just trying to illustrate in a football related topic as to why such players with enormous talent self combust - Gazza was another one, one reckless tackle on the pitch ruined his career and matters off the park ruined his life. The same could be said of Kevin Thornton and now...

Paxman You're on my favourite subject ie the lunatic wages we pay our footballers to play 90 minutes per week and the ridiculous pampering they get really beggars belief. I remember managing a Sunday Premier League team in the mid-70's and due to the bad winter weather created a backlog of...

This is going to split the Wayne Rooney appreciation society by referring to his latest childish outburst in foolishly kicking out in last Friday's WC international against Montenegro. WHY does he do it - it's not the first time he has lashed out and by doing so deprives either ManU or England...

S B U N Yes we did indeed get 28,269 average for the 1966/1967 season which was our promotion year to the then 1st Division. The promotion had an immediate feel good effect on gates for a number of years: 67/68 - 34,705 68/69 - 33,223 69/70 - 32,043 70/71 - 26,039 71/72 - 23,724 Then...

TPH and the rest, I started the thread seeking thoughts on why our close neighbours continue with sustained support (in whatever league) and us with one or two blips in form just fall apart in attendance figures as though the fans have a death wish against CCFC. OSB58 is absolutely right...

Ashbyjan Do you really think our gates would dip to 8,000 in the next league when Leeds, Southampton, Norwich, Leicester etc managed to average 20,000 in their promotion years in League 1 If we had a winning/promotion season like the above what gates would you forecast fur us. PUSB
