Whisper: they aren't real records, you need to do a deep dive! If we average 2 a game we'll be threatening Leeds total from last season. The record goals totals in the whole EFL haven't been matched since the 60s but you'd need 3 a game so we're on target ;)

I agree. That first season in the championship should tell us that three strikers is probably not enough in many seasons but then they're the most expensive elements of the squad in both cost and wages. We certainly can't afford to be carrying anyone.

I know! Especially the strikers.

He's going to have to or his career is knackered!

Simmo played 40 odd games last season too. That's an awful lot of time on the pitch just to write off, even if he doesn't score very often.

What is he? 21? A bit of a late developer physically, perhaps. He'll not want to end up in L1 or L2 at his age, I'm sure that he'd rather go abroad. If he survives the "welcome" then he'll come back useful. I reckon he'll be training with the first team next summer and it's a take it from there...

He seemed to play low 30s number of games each season. I don't think last year was significantly any different and that's not a bad return. The idea that he's "injury prone" is completely ingrained now but then apparently so was Godden who knocked up 40 odd games at Charlton last season. I think...

Rudi's

I'd like to see Bidwell get it. Kitching can be a hot head at times.

Yep hope so. He had a knee injury a couple of seasons ago so hopefully that's fully behind him now

If there's any grain of reason in that then he'll be replaced sharpish. I bet he's not...

Our clubs can still sell, I'm not sure about buying though. The deadline date was only the same in bigger European leagues, not everywhere

Fancy being the new First Team Kit and Laundry Assistant? https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2025/august/27/vacancy--first-team-kit---laundry-assistant/

I don't see the figures behind your pruning the squad train of thought. We've registered around 23, or 24 senior players with the EFL pretty consistently. We've actually added U-21s and the GKs to kid the other sides that the squad is bigger than it really has been.

He went on loan I think

Of course but we will have injuries, we recalled Bell from his loan last season remember just to cover one weekend!

We registered 23 senior players after the January window and we added Paterson later to make 24. Where are we now? From that list we've lost Binks, Sheaf, Burroughs, Collins and Tyler. We've gained Rushworth, KKH, Woolfenden, Brau so it looks like 22 rather than 23. I don't think any of the...

Expectations were unrealistically high. It became accepted that we'd bid £10m+ here another £5+ there and people believed that we had money to throw around on pretty mediocre players. If we've bid that we must have money etc. etc and without selling anyone! We lost £8m in the year of last...

Turf Moor ain't going to cut the mustard with anyone let's face it. At least they own their ground though! The likes of Palace are valued close to £1bn!

You're expected to use the loan system these days but fans don't like seeing young talent going to L2 or L1 or even Scotland! Just look at the reaction to Rapha but the lad needs to play every week at this stage.
