    CCFC Centre Back Stats Comparison

    The extra 2 or 3 touches our centre backs take, especially Hyam just sap the tempo from our game. When Hyam does go forwards, he releases the ball a fraction too late so McCallum has to come back to it on his wrong foot. It then goes back to Hyam and across to Rose per your example. I do think...

    Norwich of course is used to only the highest standards from its sports pundits:

    Do you understand what his role is?

    Leon McKenzie-Stephen Hughes.

    In fairness, our best form was in January - February, we had a run of 5 wins in 7 games. Dennis Wise was the difference though nothing to do with "glorified friendlies"

    Match Thread Brentford

    Brentford are without Pontus Jansson, so more susceptible at the back potentially. They have got Winston Reid on loan from West Ham albeit he's not played much for a long while due to injuries.

    Leon McKenzie-Stephen Hughes.

    Birchall was on one of the podcasts recently, assume it was on there. I think Hughes was right about Micky Adams, he'd lost the plot. I read Adams' autobiography, he is a very bitter man with an inflated opinion of himself.

    CCFC Centre Back Stats Comparison

    Interesting, you can tell from the stats that McFadz is almost a sweeper. Can you do a comparison with some of the better centre backs in the league?

    This is Clive on the right commenting on some horse racing:

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    He'll be asking Andrew Neill to smell his cheese

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Nothing particularly exciting, some short term ideas but still very much operating within the current structures. The bond idea seems illogical fiscally (public borrowing at rates higher than the market otherwise offers), obviously targeted at the asset rich, maybe pensioners who voted Tory.

    Rose did shout McFadz and point once Pukki was literally on him, just atrocious really.

    Final warning from Robins

    16 signings on promotion, not in between last season and this? We've made 14 including loans (nb that does include re-loaning Giles and loaning McCallum).

    Player Ratings

    McFadz pointed at him to tell him to do that, he certainly was indicating "Don't pass it to me". It is undoubtedly Rose that Robins' comments about confidence refer to. He has really struggled when he's played.

    Final warning from Robins

    It shows the level of football understanding on here that a number of prominent posters have nothing but good words about Dacosta but call McCallum the weak link

    Final warning from Robins

    Neither team made wholesale changes to their squads though, did they?

    Match Thread Brentford

    I'd go Wilson / Marosi (not really much in it at the mo) Dacosta Osti McFadzean Mccallum Kelly James (either him or Hamer) Sheaf Ohare Walker Gykores
  17. fernandopartridge

    Final warning from Robins

    Yeah, Hyam is miles behind the other two centre halves and Wilson might as well have told Pukki where to place the ball

    Final warning from Robins

    If we'd have come back to draw I guess it'll all be down to Norwich sitting off

    Will we stay up ?

    We were 5 points clear on a fantastic run having just played virtually all of the teams around us you [emoji1782]

    Final warning from Robins

    He did but he didn't give the ball away
