Thanks smileycov PUSB

smileycov, I am only referring to averages in my analysis - yes we were bursting at the seams against Derby (last game 04/05) @ 22,728 BUT that effect on the average was minimal as we had several abysmal attendances before that: Millwall - 13,910 Gillingham - 11,966 Rotherham - 13,834...

A lot of posts refer to the level of CCFC support ranging from the slide of attendance numbers over the last few years to the potential improvement in fans attending the Ricoh if we had a successful/winning team. The reality is according to the last 20 years of attendance records is that we...

My last post lamented lack of goalscorers from midfielders and forwards - but there is another weakness in our armoury that of scoring goals from set pieces. When have we last scored in numbers directly/indirectly from the following deadball situations: Free kicks Corners Throw ins...

Ran a club syndicate years ago based on the lottery bonus ball - punters supposed to pay a pound every week and back a number(s) from 1 to 49 with the winner taking £40 and £9 for the club after each Saturday lottery draw Simples innit - N effing O Don't forget all the participants lived...

Ronnie Farmer played for us 1958-1967 and scored 52 goals in 311 games that would be the equivalent of 9 goals per 46 game season as of today. I think I would expect 8 to 10 goals per season from an attacking midfielder as a good contribution - I don't see that from some of our forwards let...

Apparantly according to Vital WOLVES Fanzine we are sniffing around Michael Kightly as his intended loan move to Forest has broken down because of Mc larens departure. 25 years of age scores one or two goals ie 23 in 92 games for wolves Any good to us ???

A man goes to his doctor with a bad shoulder - he says "doctor when I do this (raises his arm) it hurts" - doctor says "well don't do it then" PUSB

What really drives me crazy with the likes of Eastwood and Thornton is that they don't realise that football is a relatively short career say 10/15 years of high potential earnings compared to the average Joe. Wouldn't you think that they would maximise this god given opportunity by at least...

You are so right Nick When on rare occasions we are in a long range shooting position inevitably our player needs an extra three touches to tee it up and the chance goes begging yet again. As I mentioned earlier our opponents don't seem to have this problem and particularly last season...

Let us not forget also that Dennis was 40 years old at the time and was still bombing from box to box scoring AND defending - what a player - and as you say Wingy he virtually kept us up single handed that season. But I still can't understand the reluctance for our midfielders to go forward -...

The posts recently are very vociferous as to our lack of goalscoring forwards with prolific goal scoring not seen since King Dion strutted our turf. But lets take a step backwards and extend the arguement to where are the midfield goal scorers not just within the current squad but over the...

Julian Dicks was a fearsome legend in his time for W Ham/Liverpool PUSB

Affliction/Addiction/Brainless That must be me over the years Take the season we were in Europe (yes folks Europe) - we got stuffed 6-1 by Bayern Munich away and we then played them at HR , obviously a dead rubber BUT I was there and at half time toddled off to the Gents but on the way out I...

OTIS Come on then lets here this party piece about the Iron Man - I'm all ears PUSB

George Curtis for me - this guy was built of granite - not overly big compared to say Ben Turner BUT when he went up for corners he took 3 of the opposition bodies with him and still scored. One game saw his knee sliced open - came back on with 12 stitches George was renowned for his awesome...

I agree JTS - by the time I have taken off my Sky Blue glasses, ignored my 47 years as a ST holder and counted the lost £thousands (yes thousands) in silly Micky Mouse CCFC bets I think I also need a reality check and indeed realise that we have been seriously weakened with the release of all...

Forget that last post HH - silly OAP forgot to move the horizontal arrow to the right thus revealing said column !!! Thanks again PUSB

Many thanks HH not far off, BUT there is a column missing with the final ponts tally on the RHS. Also if you tally up the points Bishbosh has 234, Backroomrummermill has 227 and Smilleycov has 243 in 3rd place - surely he must be ranked 1st with those points PUSB

Thanks for that folks - I need to improve then PUSB
