Re: Stevenage point of view
If I could pick I would have chosen Vale partially because it's close but equally they are in such poor form (2 wins in half a season). FGR won 6 games last season. One was against Bolton, another was against Sheffield Weds. Football is a mad, mad game. Yes, and we took 4 points out of 6 from Champ...

Re: See you at Stevenage!

Re: See you at Stevenage!
We've never officially taken 1,000 to FGR I believe. We took 3,000 to Notts County in 2003 (stat courtesy of JP). According to the report on the official website we took 1,200 to FGR in December 22, although that does seem a rather round number so could well be an estimate? JP reported the same - I...

As per the rest of the season the emotions are all over the place right now.

Re: COE and or DOF
I am not for the board being removed either. I found the chants directed at David Bloxham on Saturday uncomfortable, unwarranted and unnecessary.

Re: TONIGHT: 2023/24 Club Annual Shareholders Meeting and Fans’ Forum
I'm a bit confused with the backlash against selling players to breakeven or make a profit. Its not luck to sell a player but a clear part of the club's business plan.

We really do find ourselves in a very confusing situation at CTFC don’t we?! We are in historic times for our club on the pitch and yet seem to be on the verge of crisis off it. I think the frustration for me is around the seeming lack of any plan to take the club forward. Whatever that plan might b...

Re: Deciding games
Problem is, Burton could potentially get 6 points. Realistically, our best chance for a win is probably this weekend - it's hard to see us getting many more than 3 points from our last games, which are definitely the toughest of the set. We could easily get less than 3 points - and that leaves us h...

I would take a little issue with the lack of depth argument. Yesterday we had Williams, Bradbury and Sloggett not even on the bench.

Re: Why did we lose?
The last two games have reeked of a group of players who know no longer believe they can stay up, most of which know they won't be here next season and a manager who has lost focus on what made us successful and instead is tinkering constantly to find another way. All of which is a perfect storm of...

I don't agree with that. I think if Keena can get the right partner, he can be brilliant in League 2. If he can work something out with Street in the summer for example. I agree with Jim. Add a decent target man to Keena, Street and Taylor, with a young nippy loanee then the forward line may not be...
