Caleb Taylor mentioned as possible target, they seem defensively vulnerable , their set pieces are 5hit and currently playing AM on the right wing.

Mmmmm...? Seems like a waste of time having a write up in the Guardian for the good people of grimsby

They should be in the premier league by now shouldn't they? I mean they were BIG TIME weren't they?

Rugby Union has been in a financial mess all the time it has been a professional sport. It has made the mistake of paying the players too much money well beyond the income generated. Hence the demise of many a club in recent times. I would expect the sport to follow cricket and go for the cash offe...

a sold out away end, watch the ref crumble giving any decision against Oxford that end of the pitch

A couple of ticket offers that are up on the online ticketing page, though not yet marketed by the club. Firstly, there’s an interesting “Christmas package” offer for standing at the Shrewsbury and Reading games: Buy an adult ticket for both for £30 (kids are a tenner). An excellent offer, clearly ...

the amount of money Barnsley have lost in recent years this is a mere pocket change.

So the BBC/ITV could lose freetoair as they cannot afford the rights, pretty sure this would be the beginning of the end for rugby union, the national game is a complete financial mess, the long term health effects of playing the game becoming an issue and the game becoming quite a chore to watch (t...

Just been looking at his career to date. I have to say, this seems like a massive risk for a club that have had such a good start in League One. "Long-term contract", as well. Didn't make it as a professional player, just had a youth career at Reading and Oxford. I guess it's nice to see ...

longmover

I thought the debate was a bit daft but I see Si's point. The club set the min price and there was only one bid of this price so they could of cost themselves money. Who knows? Should of started at a higher price or just stated open to offers. Who came up with that price in the first place? Seems v...

football has so much to learn from rugby :roll: appalling situation at Exeter. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/nov/19/exeter-investigate-after-ugo-monye-reports-racist-abuse-leaving-stadium reading his account of the incident is quite chilling, fingers crossed this person is bought to justice.

longmover

so other teams got relegated while everton cheated and (still) get a chance to stay in the prem.

Worth the risk isn’t it.

pathetic.

longmover

will be interesting to see if AM scores 18+ goals for charlton (this season) whether some championship clubs will show real interest in him.

longmover

Apart from Tozer (where money from the buying club was no issue) have CTFC done well (fully rewarded) for any recent transfers?

longmover

is the peanuts comment a sly dig at the board? (already).

wouldn't be surprised if he went back Exeter when they sack the current incumbent.

They won't take Cotts there, his style of play is the total opposite of what Manning has them playing. Could see the Cowley's being interested but also being overlooked for a more progressive younger coach. Also I heard Cotts had applied for the Bristol Rovers job, could certainly see that happenin...

longmover

good 'progressive' idea, a nice mix of people from different walks of life, I just hope this isnt allowed to be kicked into the long grass as time goes on.

this game meant nothing, a free hit to confirm and experiment etc. His message was clear, the squad needs gutting.

tactics/formation meant nothing.

longmover

Manning gone to City, this could bode very well for us in two weeks time.

I wrote a thread on here that there is a danger we throw the bath tub out with the water or something to that effect. Whilst I agree with what Adam Murray says here just be warned a massive squad overhaul during the season tends to be very costly (we may need to pay players contracts up or loan the...

“standards and culture”

since Duff left across the whole of the club these have dropped. Seems this board need a strong willed manager to keep them in check.

Cotterill
Johnson
Clarke

in my experience supporting CTFC this rings true.

longmover

Although reading the way JP has them set up, Chapman will be one of three centre backs, with Malcolm at left wing back... Looks more like a 4-3-3 to me Williams, Horton, Bradbury, Chapman, Olayinka, Hammond, Adshead, Malcolm, Keena, Lloyd. But I'm often wrong! couldn’t care a less tbh, just get the...

he’s protecting the first team midfield with cannon fodder, surely he’s seen enough of those three.

Rob Dickie scored the winner for City against Wednesday who played an hour with 10 men after Barry Bannan sent off. Bannans red card now overturned so understandably Wednesday not happy. Incident here about 4.30 in. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/video/highlights/highlights-bristol-city-1-0-sheffield-wedne...

I don't know how long I'd give him as I don't know what his main issue is. He might need to go and see someone to get his head sorted out. Given what we paid for him, and as he's shown that he is capable, I'm personally willing to give him more chances from the bench throughout the season. I'd sugg...

At this stage, I think the problem is completely mental with Keena. Whether it's as simple as lack of confidence or he's homesick or something else going on in his personal life. He just isn't the same player, Alfie or not to play with. As Lord Elpuz says, even in pre-season Keena stuck away that c...

longmover

the Keena conundrum!!

I know this competition is done for us but it will be interesting to see the team selection and see where DC's head is at after the defeat to Wimbledon. I presume some of these players are now done (no more chances to impress), so is it going to be a team of (match day) squad players, youth teamers ...

maybe he was given assurances funds would be available, they don’t budget for cup runs (evidently)

longmover

anybody think DC may have been using this game as a bit of an experiment? he’s here to keep us in the league not win the FA Cup.

Seen a couple of other similar posts. Apart from Adshead who else?

Keena, three months now and nothing to show from it. Get him out on loan, it’s obvious DC see’s nothing in him.
