The rare times I'm happy with a draw is if City are losing 1-0 with seconds to go and they nick a goal at the death. Apart from that, I bloody HATE draws!! I'll NEVER be happy with them! Defeatist talk!!

I would like us to go for it a little more at home 4-4-2 but struggling to pick our best XI.......think I'd go with below.

RCC GK
Sperry RB
Harries CB
Willis CB
Page LB
Bigi CM
McCann CM
Stevenson LM.....(looked good but would like to see him further forward and out wide may give him that option)?
Reid RM
Ageyi ST (Big Lump up front)
Sordell ST

Subs: Burge, Turnbull, Haynes, Lameiras, Jones, Tudguy, Other Reid

Pretty much the same for me apart from Jones on the left instead of Stevenson and maybe Turnbull at cb instead of Harries.

Quite a few fans want to see 442 but the managers seem not to want to use it

Got to be a win.
Go out all guns blazing 1 point will not get us out of this hole.
Need to start that winning run now can't wait until Xmas.
And I would not be happy with a draw.

2-0 loss cant see us scoring if we play for a week.
Also predict the lowest ricoh league game crowd since we moved with a lot of hatred directed at sisu at the end hopefully

Acording to their board theyve sold 1500 tickets so far and are expecting 2000 plus to attend.
The way its going there may be more of them than us at the ricoh

Well I predicted a win and we lost last time. Can bring myself to predict a defeat, so I'll say 2-2.

After 2 wins and starting to score goals I thought things were finally on the up but Saturday was back to the same old story. will be surprised if it's anything other than a defeat tomorrow.

I actually thought old Andre did ok on Saturday. Didn’t give the ball away too much and made a few intelligent runs/dribbles in possession. Bit wasted out on the left though. I’d drop Turnbull and start Reid to give us more width and leave Bigi on the bench (probably worst of the 3 midfielders on Sat, though did ok):

RCC

Sterry
Willis
Ricketts
Haynes

Lameiras
Stevenson
McCann
Reid

Sordell
Wright

Burge, Harries, Bigi, Gadzhev, Jones, Tudgay, Agyei.

Yeh, they've sold out their allocation and have more tickets available on the night. I'm going for a gate of about 9,700.

Why does everyone put Sordell in, he has had a run in the team and does not look that good. I would go on attack and put this team out.
RCC
Sterry Willis Turnbull Haynes
Jones Bigi Stevenson Reid
Ageyi Wright

Looking at their forum a lot of them see it as a big night out due to the ricoh. Its a ground they want to tick off

i honestly do not know what to expect tomorrow. Having watched us take apart port vale with relative ease, we then have the same thing done to us 2 weeks later, against a side who hadn't won in 8.

It's a game that we shouldn't lose - on paper - but who would bet against us chalking up a 6th consecutive home draw?!

Venus needs to stop pissing about with the starting line up, why he thought Lameiras was a better option up top than Agyei I have no idea. He is exactly the sort of striker you want at this level; big, strong, quick and has an eye for goal and was superb against port vale. Lameiras has chance after chance after chance to establish himself in this team but he never takes it.

Agyei, Sordell and Wright should start whilst McBean should make the bench! He's scored in excess of a goal a game by my reckoning.

Keep the 3 in the middle of the park, same back 4 if free from injury and Cook back in goal.

If we are quick out of the blocks and go ahead within the first 15/20 minutes it could be our night but my head is saying 1-1. If we don't win either of our next 2, action on the managerial front needs to be taken immediately. No point pissing about until January by which time we could be cut adrift and already bound for league 2. We owe Venus nothing and to be honest, he's doing nothing different to Mowbray in terms of style, consistency or personnel.

Ok let's not be pedantic about it, top 6 , in playoff's are they not the same thing?

If we don't start winning games will be in the bottom 6, never mind the top 6. :arghh:

Well don't change it to rowing as I'm pretty sure Oxford would beat us at that!

Wasn't even aware Oxford had a football team before now.

I said exactly the same. People were on here saying "hopefully we can beat either Oxford or Rochdale" ...when did CCFC start feeling like the underdogs against (no offence) much smaller clubs???

Still think we need a player to start a scrap on the pitch, get the atmosphere going.

None of this holding their hands applauding their fans crap.

Let them know we are there from the off.
