Re: David Bloxham interview

Agree Longmover. Whilst I think the board have done/are doing a very good job in getting us where we are today in these historic times for CTFC, the message is always defensive and negative when surely this is the best time to be shouting about our achievements and 'selling' the club to future inves...

In fact I may even go to the other extreme in this particular situation and give the away fans blocks 7/8 in the CF only and have the Hazelwoods for home fans. Do a big advertising campaign on social media etc. maybe kids for a tenner and get as much of the ground CTFC as possible to get behind the ...

Re: Is 23 March still on

Luke named in the Northern Ireland squad. Noticed watching the Peterborough v Stevenage game last night that if the game goes ahead one of their internationals, Kyprianou, would be suspended anyway. Not sure if that effects the call off criteria?

There's not much more we can do to stay in League 1. I don't see us signing a free-agent striker, I don't think we have the funds to. It could all be back in our own hands after tomorrow night's games as well, so a bit early to be throwing in the towel. Well if the club isn't allowing Darrell to lo...

I know DC likes to surprise everyone with team selections but starting with 10 men was bold. If Nuttall ever gets near the team again I will be shocked. Would rather start the youngsters.

Like others, I'm deflated after last night, but I'm not beaten. I think DC has to take his share of the blame for the last few games. There seems to be rotation for rotation's sake at the moment and this is creating confusion in the midfield and defence. The back three on Saturday were perfectly fi...

Really disappointingly flat performance especially second half. Lacking energy, spark and quality in the final third.
