A Football League club just down the A46 Elliott, where Gary Johnson is starting to rebuild a team ready to mount a challenge for promotion to L1 next season. Do the business for CTFC in L2 this season and next and you'll get a move to a better level than the SPL.

Vince and FGR are a joke.
Wonder what OTC thinks of Frear wanting to get a chance at the FL.
Also, no mention of it on the FGR forum. I assume the Forum Stasi make sure it does not get discussed.

Can't see us winning the title tbh, have got a tough run including 4 of the top 6 away having failed to beat any of them at home. Lincoln could well be 8 points clear if they win their 2 games in hand as well.
We have looked a bit more solid in the last 3 games, but there's been so many comings and goings plus constant personnel and tactical changes that it's been tough to get much consistency going. We've got a lot of good midfielders, but only 1 striker who looks up to it in Doidge, so we look a bit unbalanced squad wise atm.
Think we'll finish 3rd, behind Lincoln and Tranmere Play-offs are a bit of a lottery, but to win them we'll need to beat 2 other top sides which we haven't done yet.
I do like Cooper, was a great player and he's got us playing some lovely stuff, so I'm hoping he gets it right. Hopefully he's finished experimenting and decided on his best team and formation now.

Wonder if the un-named SPFL club is the Don's. I'd imagine one of only two clubs in a position to pay a fee, the other being Celtic. We have one winger entering last 6 months of his contract and another subject to a bid from Cardiff, which might make sense of the "un-named" part (AFC don't want to make fans aware that one or the other is definitely leaving).
If so can understand why his heads been turned, chance to play European football next season would be tempting.
Suppose it could be Sevco5088, as Warburton seems to like a lower league signing, and might explain why the "bids" have been rejected (on the basis FFG will never see the money).

Good honest appraisal Chris, a lot more realistic than OTC. Thanks.

Frear on form is probably one of best in non-league. Motherwell will have done well to secure his services.
His replacement, Jake Goslin from Bristol Rovers, is apparently a better player.
FGR Chris's accessment is fairly accurate and one that I will not overly argue with.
BTW Congrats on that 3-0 win against 10 man Accrington S that moves CTFC out of automatic relegation spot. Your team are trying hard to ensure that there is an El Glosico match next season.

As for you playing us next season. In your dreams sunshine. You will still be park league next season. You don't have the players with the desire to win. They are just picking up an easy pay cheque

If FGR do get through to Wembley, the sight of 20,000 from Birkenhead outsinging two thousand plastics will lead to just an unequal result on the pitch.
Err RCS, number of fans at Wembley doesn't always guarantee success, just ask Hereford...RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:

Heard today that Jake Gosling's signing yesterday was our 19th since MC was appointed last summer, with 16 (soon to be 18) going the other way. With that much of an overhaul maybe shouldn't be a surprise that we haven't been that consistent up till now, although obviously GJ was even more drastic in his rebuild last season and it worked out for you.
We have a habit of not turning up (on the pitch) for the big occasions over the years, if we did get to Wembley it would be better for us to be playing someone like Dover imo, Tranmere would vastly outnumber us which could well make a difference psychologically. Grimsby definitely seemed inspired by their support last May, think Tranmere would bring even more.

Watching Lincoln on TV tonight. They certainly have turned up so far - quite a contrast to FGR's timid showings in the big TV games.

Indeed. Cowley seems to be a great manager. Took pub side Braintree to the play-offs. He left them in the summer and now they are struggling towards the bottom and Lincoln are top of the division.Si Robin wrote:Watching Lincoln tonight, I'm glad they weren't this good last season.
Seems like another season where FGR will be outclassed by a better manager.
We've now sold Charlie Clough, one of our best players, to Barnet.
Not sure of the reasons, tbf he might have wanted to go, but things appear to be going pear shaped quite rapidly. I'm pretty gutted tbh, I really liked MC as a player and was desperate to see him succeed here, but I really can't understand how things can have gone so wrong recently. ´

When Lincoln got the two late goals to beat FGR 3-2, Ralph said it was like us vs the Annies. It looks like it is even bigger than that. FGR, and Cooper have gone into meltdown since.

I will accept that there is a lot of despair at TNL especially since it was announced that Charlie Clough has been sold to Barnet.
Charlie scored the equalising goal in his last game for FGR. He is a solid and dependable player.
Barnet have done well in securing his services and I wish him well.
Cooper has brought in many players but whether they immediately gell I know not.
FGR are 2nd in table and if all the other clubs win their games in hand (very unlikely) FGR will still remain in the play-off zone.
Therefore the jury is still out with regards getting promoted at season end but the title is seemingly becoming a difficult proposition to envisage.
