    This thread seems very mean spirited and serves zero purpose. Baka didn't even play at the week-end and clearly is going only to be used off the bench this season. As a fan of CCFC, he has my full support off the bench. He has not been a disaster for us and it's unfortunate that certain...

    TLS Oxford Report - The Gift of the Dab

    I think that's right Fernando. I do believe when we see O'Hare and Allen in midfield that will change.

    TLS Oxford Report - The Gift of the Dab

    Fantastic read as always 87mint - thank you. Something I always look forward too. I agree that Robins needs to be more flexible in reacting to game situations. The thousands of crosses yesterday pinged in from the left needed to be dealt with and that was evident after 15-20 minutes. I would...

    I do agree on what you are saying about rugby pusb. Twickenham for me is a terrible experience - most of the crowd seems to be corporate with little or absolutely no knowledge of the game. Just there for a day out and with little emotional buy into the result. (Wimbledon is very similar)...

    I hear what you are saying pusb; I agree that 'dislike of other fans' has been part of football spectating forever and a lot of people share your viewpoint. I guess I'm a bit different. I don't go to matches disliking fans of the other team and I'm not interested in winding anyone one up...

    I actually like to see our former players doing well. But to put things in some perspective, Sunderland lost 3-0 away today. The Sunderland team included Willis and McNulty. Our day was much better all things considered.

    I remember Shearer playing against us shortly after he joined Blackburn. Man marked by Lloyd McGrath who was pretty handy at that kind of stuff - it's what Lloyd excelled at. Shearer's performance that day was the best performance I have ever seen by any forward at HR - and that includes our...

    The thing that really annoyed me about Cobi Jones is that in a moment of madness I purchased a 'Cobi's in town t-shirt' from the club shop. At an impressionable age I thought I looked pretty cool. Big photo of Cobi on it. Wore it out with my mates and had to endure some epic piss taking...

    Just thinking what Robins could have done during this game only to negate all of those crosses pinged in from the left. A radical switch to 3-5-2? Marosi Dabo Rose McFaz Hyam Watson O'Hare Kelly Shipley Godden Hiwula With Dabo and Watson...

    A bit harsh on McCullum Liquid. He had no protection in front of him from Hiwula and often had to deal with two players. About 100 crosses were pinged in from the left side as a result. We should certainly have made tactical changes to stop this far earlier. And all players make mistakes...

    Plenty of justification in what you've written Keresley. We were very fortunate to be 2-0 up in a game in which we were generally outplayed. So probably a point we didn't entirely deserve and I will take it. Looking forward to the return to the team of McFaz, Mason, Allen with O'Hare starting...

    I think that's absolutely right BornSlippy - but as above from what I've seen from our earlier games - McFaz would front up and adopt a zero tolerance policy to the likes of Mackie.

    Agreed Kieran. Kelly is outstanding for us every week - and all players make mistakes. This one cost us. What I would say re: bullying is that I would like to see McFaz in there paired with either Rose/Hyam. McFaz would have commanded the box today and provided key leadership. As seen...

    Gaz - laughing at your Jobello comment - as I think it's true! A little harsh on McCullam - the problem of the 4-3-3 that we play is that McCullam was often left playing against two men. I think Hiwula tried to help out but was not doing so consistently - and Hiwula is far from being a natural...

    A point away from home after not playing well. O'Hare looked fantastic. Allen to come in and complete our midfield. Godden is class. Completely uncharacteristic error by Kelly - who is our best player every week - if not we'd be celebrating a smash and grab victory. Plenty of positives. Let's...
