Round Robin

Ps who was the very tall guy who used to sell the match programmes in the early 70’s

Round Robin

Apologies if this has been done b4 . Some of my memories of watching ctfc over the years . Years ago midweek games always finished at 9.10 Bovril from the shop Me and some mates went on the players coach to Bedworth - stopped at the chippie on the way back. Ken Skeen era? Going over to Glos - Horton...

Round Robin

This is a shambles that it’s taking so long . Seems like they can’t make their minds up. Most clubs have a person in mind straightaway so by dilly dallying it means there is no stand out candidate . Are we identifying transfer targets while all this is going on . If Duff goes any new manager might n...

Round Robin

Martin Allen - manager

Round Robin

He's on 6k a week at Sunderland. !!!!! Don't think we can afford him .

Round Robin

I remember years ago when league teams who were drawn against non league teams were worried by over zealous challenges from certain players without much protection from referees . Therefore I have put together a team city would least like to be playing tomorrow . Battiston r Harris r baverstock j Ch...

Round Robin

The good news is other results go our way and we are still only 3 points behind Swindon with a game in hand .

Poor Harold you have to feel sorry for him . Mind you if he hadn't had those 20 bog rolls in his pockets he might have moved a bit quicker .

Round Robin

Or was the width of the pitch smaller than it has been , for yesterday's game .? It seems to be that the area in front of the Hazlewoods stand to the touch line is longer than it has been .? Maybe for BT long throws or gave Crewe less width for there wide men . If so quite innovative on the club's p...

Round Robin

A few to start

1) Trophy win
2) Promotion to the league
3) First time promotion under GJ from the vanarama
4) Ground improvements
5) Genuine family club
6) Consistently punching above our weight

Round Robin

I agree he did go down pretty easily !!

Round Robin

What a great pro this guy is . Half time last night he was warming up in front of the Speedie skips and having a ' crack' with the young lads behind the goal . Taking the mickey out of his own baldness and saying how lucky they were with a full barnet. I remember he did the same last year when cover...

Round Robin

Blind optimism - hopefully not .

I’ll have my eyes open on Saturday which will allow me to make up my own mind up . My point was let’s not write off people before they’ve kicked a ball .

Ps my Labrador agrees.

Round Robin

Let’s give all these new players our full support .

I’m fed up reading all the negativity surrounding a new signing . We’re Ctfc not Man City for gods sake. People moan about the boo boys on a Saturday let’s not become the online version.

Fingers Crossed

Round Robin

Apparently it’s Bryant May .

Excellent long striker who can be hot in and out of the box .

Round Robin

Just wanted to echo the above comments . The conference season was unforgettable but unfortunately things have gone a bit pear shaped since then . Remember we have no divine right to be successful ( just ask Torquay and York fans) . A lot of the young lads asking for his head probably weren't there ...

Round Robin

Cheers

Round Robin

Disappointment increasing . I listened to the game on the radio and we were abysmal in the first half . Yes, the second half was better but it couldn’t get any worse . Why is it we can only play for 45 minutes.? Why can’t we do the basics ? We are now another striker down and simply cannot rely on t...

Round Robin

Yes maybe I was daft to expect a home win over Crawley but after eveything I 'd heard and read I just expected more . Thus the reason for my disappointment. With regard to Rowe I watched the goals he has scored over the last few years and 200K didn't look a lot of money for that type of finishing . ...

Round Robin

5.00pm disappointed and only a one week into the season . Where next ?

Round Robin

What a difference it makes when you have someone who can take a decent free kick . His delivery last night was excellent . I can't recall one that was wasted . He has the ability to pick out a man which will serve us well throughout the season - ask Brian Graham.

Happy Days

Round Robin

Between success and failure . One more goal in each game and we have another 6 points and only lost once .!!! We have suffered badly from injuries and poor refereeing I e Yeovil non sending off . Scruffy goal against us last night . Don't see any point changing the manager he seems as pi&&le...

Round Robin

If this means the end for flatly , then I feel sorry for him . Ok he may not be as good as Dillon but give the boy a chance . I get fed up with some in the speedy skips who think it's ok to abuse our players - some of whom are only on loan and doing us a favour . These abusers probably wouldn't know...

Round Robin

Really sad news . Only knew Steve over the last 18 months but a really nice guy . Treated me to a corporate game against Plymouth last season .

RIP

Round Robin

Terry Gornell ?

Round Robin

This is a good deal for Harry and hopefully ourselves. We must invest in at least 4/5 players immediately and not wait till the end of August for loan players . Let's have some positive news.!!!

Round Robin

Ctfc I understand your point of view , but it sounds as though it's a bit embarrassing.

Round Robin

It's all part of a big master plan . The only problem is no one knows what it is . It really is sad .

8/1 to go down . I know that 's negative but sometimes the truth hurts .

Round Robin

For me it was the woman living across the road who forgot to close her bedroom curtains during the dark winter months .!!!

Only joking . Probably Scottie's penalty save against Morecambe allowing us to go on and win the game .

Round Robin

I have read a lot of the other threads saying that we are pretty much down after the way the results panned out today . Whilst I am not overly optimistic I do believe it 's a bit early to be raising the white flag .!!! If you look at the facts we are on an unbeaten run of 3 games and should have won...

Round Robin

I don't know why I'm panicking about relegation . The bookies have us at 8/1 !!! The favourite for the national is only 10/1 .

If you had a spare pound which bet offers the best value .?

Round Robin

If we bring in an interim manager where does that leave Russ .? No time for sentiment though , staying in the league is the priority .

Round Robin

The gaffer says' don't panic' . That's what General Custer said !!!!!

Round Robin

I haven't been to the game today but listened to it on the radio . Don't think I've ever heard Mark so angry and annoyed after a performance . We are in real trouble but with only 7 games to go we might just sneak over the line . Hopefully Storer can bring back a bit of pride and resilience next wee...

Round Robin

I 'me just listened to Gary's interview and he seems very downbeat . This is the first time I've heard that sense of despondency. He said the players had a frank discussion and they all admitted that they are not performing . Ok let's move on to Saturday and turn it around . I wrote yesterday ' the ...
