    Long way to go yet today for us and Mansfield but we couldn’t have hoped for a better opening 30mins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Certainly not surprised Haynes and JCH drop to bench although stokes and biamou don’t really fill me with confidence. We should at least get a little more endeavour up front and a little more solidity at left back. But where will the goals come from and a pacey winger will be expose stokes. The...

    I’d keep the same back 4 and tell them before the game that their mistakes have cost points and now is the time for strength and commitment; time to prove that ‘best defensive ‘ record was no fluke. Instill in them and burge the desire and need to keep a clean sheet. I would be tempted to swap...

    Haynes...

    I don’t mind Haynes (he tries but is forever lost positionally) but to think he can play higher than L1 or L2 is laughable. He is not a solid left back; not particularly strong in the tackle. He doesn’t have the stamina to make an effective wing back. He has one or two flashes of brilliance (or...

    In our hands. Nobody’s fault but our own if we don’t make it. Time for a hero to step up and make a name for himself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Yeovil defeat was disaster ours...not just the score line but it busted the myth about our solid defence and means no one is scared about playing us. Lincoln found it easy to penetrate the back four by using rhead to bully the full backs and pull McDonald all over the place. They then...

    We have to ‘expect’ Mansfield to win both games and therefore we need to ensure we go out to win both (yes I know we need 4 points but we can’t afford to play for a draw in either). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Draw 1-1. But if we defend like Tuesday a 3-1 loss. Nervously watching the Mansfield result Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Things that are wrong with football thread

    I agree with you... but the first v Lincoln should be telling burge that with quicker thought and quick and thoughtful distribution he might contribute to more CCFC goals. It should also be telling oggy and robins that this is something to work on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Player of the season vote now open

    Only player who seems to give 100% win or lose, the only player to cajole and encourage and berate others, and the only player who knows you have to try and manage a game of football. I wasn’t keen when we resigned him but I was wrong so for me the CCFC player of the year is Michael Doyle Sent...

    Would we compete in League One?

    Our defence has recently conceded 4 v Lincoln and 6 v Yeovil; woeful marking and not that much commitment against quite average forward lines. Both burge and O’Brien are always one flap from calamity. Doyle is ageing; putting in good shifts but could he now cut a full season in a higher...

    Things that are wrong with football thread

    But the problem is Haynes took longer with each throw in than allsopp took with his clearances. Otherwise I agree; wasting time by players and managers is just another form of cheating. I would hope the authorities take a harder line on it and give instructions to refs to book players or...

    Throw in tactics - or lack of

    We have had previous threads on our lack of decent throw ins but last night plunged new depths. Haynes was so slow taking them he wasted far more time than their keeper did with goal kicks. On top of that we rarely find our man; either just throw it down the line and hope our player being marked...
