It's an interesting one as our "sticky" spell coincided with his injury or thereabouts - 1 win in 6 without him. 2 wins and a draw since his return. Maybe one of these underrated players who helps the team tick.

CTFC vs Port Vale Sat 21st Dec 2019 ; but all to often instead of any direct attacking play in went sideways. I and others despaired....not back to Flinders again surely..... hmmmm. . I haven't been to as many games this season but have noticed this exasperation from others when i have been there. ...

And their Secretary is also a Solicitor which may mean they have a clear idea of what they believe is achievable in terms of a settlement figure.

THECHOIRBOY

It's an interesting one. Or he's not convinced about Bowry stepping up if required?

I agree with a lot of this. The reality is most L2 sides will have a few long term loan signings making up their squad. Whether you like this conceptually or not, it's the way football is going. They may already be lined up in which case just filling a team with trialists is pointless. Surely giving...

Dawson about to sign for fgr by looks of it

The fgr twitter accounts says a signing is incoming and the whizzy video thing looks to start outside Whaddon Road!

Can't see it anywhere but does Mo moving to the posh for a deal of over 1.2 million get us anything? I think I read it was a percent of any profit Bristol City made?

THECHOIRBOY

They do but in 160 + games he has scored about 20 goals as a pro. For me, it's where in the pecking order he sits. If it is to come and be 4th choice and offer us something a bit different i'm fine but I would lose no sleep at all if he went out. I'd be happy next season with Waters, Varney, Barnett...

THECHOIRBOY

Well he also said he can't afford to keep everyone (well they we couldn't sign anyone if kept everyone)

Mullins will be off as I'd have thought he would be one of top few wage earners.

THECHOIRBOY

I'm with you there. I think partly as waters used to wear number 8 I think too!

THECHOIRBOY

Didn't Daws rob him and then him and Billy fluffed it?

THECHOIRBOY

The usual rationality I'd expect to see from the Nest. It's rare we win four on the spin at home so not sure we have to do that! Equally the sides around us are also playing each other so we could arguably play about four or five more games and not pick up a point and still not be bottom Note. I am...

THECHOIRBOY

I am not being difficult but has anything been said to make it look like he is leaving. We know he's been watched. Yes he's out of form compared to earlier in the season but I'd imagine this is the most first team football he's played in one season and was coming back from injury. Duff has said no c...

THECHOIRBOY

Worryingly Cambridge have an away record as bad as ours. Surprisingly Port Vale have a really good record away from home.

Tuesday definitely a big game to keep the points ticking

THECHOIRBOY

Well we can see next week how good Colchester are as we could do with a favour as they play Macclesfield

THECHOIRBOY

Grimsby away isn't it? I watched on ifollow and was pretty sure but disagree Yeovil looked like had extra man. I didn't have to encounter usual nerves and groans of the c and g and on screen didn't feel we were ever under any great pressure. Particularly once we scored I felt we looked exceptionally...

THECHOIRBOY

Sometimes the ones we expect least from (judging by fans comments from other clubs) turn out to be the best signings....Flinders etc

THECHOIRBOY

If thats not the case, then we are probably in deep trouble. I don't think so. We won't need much more than a point a game from here to stay up. So whilst the returns mentioned i would hope for i dont think it would be the end of the world if we just get 8 for example as i dont think those around u...

THECHOIRBOY

10-11 points and I would be very happy as will mean we are still moving upwards. One thing is for sure, we are unpredictable so I would be surprised if we did a full house of home wins against the teams also struggling!!

THECHOIRBOY

Not critisicim per se, just felt that it made us less balanced. I'd have had Alcock in back three and played Hussey from start

THECHOIRBOY

Agree with most of this. Lost to a well drilled team

I felt Pring was largely anonymous and felt Hussey was a waste in back three. Agree we missed Nige and felt Barnett and Varney did not click. Next four games are pretty big. Need to hope for four to six points to keep looking up!

THECHOIRBOY

Agree. Based on how we have played in recent times he fits well. Either up front in a two or if we play 343 addai and waters either side of Barnett possibly.

THECHOIRBOY

And allows us another loan

THECHOIRBOY

I'm a bit lost on the six foot plus 'giant' link to Doidge. At 6ft 0.6 inches yes he's over six foot but certainly no giant.

Though I guess it's relative and you may be very ickle.

THECHOIRBOY

And talking of strikers FGR have signed Shawn McColskey on a 2 year deal (former loan target)

THECHOIRBOY

It might be that he is just here to replace field and we may get a centre back anyway. Could be Hussey plays on left of three too. He may have developed to a centre back since Flynn signed him but also in this interview he also says he's a pacy left back https://youtu.be/p6YvvP6YJUc" onclick=&q...

THECHOIRBOY

Reading the interview with flynn when he signed for Newport he said he played left back, left midfield or left wing back

THECHOIRBOY

Agree a lot with Robin in this thread
I don't think many changes are needed. Largely a case of improving our loans

We also need a good left side alternative to Hussey. So much about what we do now includes the balance and width he gives us. If he gets crocked again, we need good backup.

THECHOIRBOY

I actually really like it. I stand in the PRE and every week say "that video never tires" with the big highlights of previous years. I think part of the issue is still possibly sound linked to it as you could do a lot more with it; if the tannoy was more reliable around the ground.

THECHOIRBOY

I agree with a lot of your first point in this thread. I thought we played well in first half. Lacking quality in the box and that killer pass (missed Maddox) but so much more confident, composed and assured in passing it around. It wasn't long ago people were booing for hit and hope so not let's ju...

THECHOIRBOY

And Wimbledon now sacked Ardley.

Would imagine Cotterill will be in the running for that (and not just according to bookies!)

THECHOIRBOY

With ex CTFC greats at Full Back to supply the ammo in Lathaniel Rowe Turner and Durrell Berry!
