Oh yeah, Davies clearly stamped on Duffy. Genuinely lucky he didn’t get seen - clear red if it had been. He obviously did it with malice, honestly made me wonder what the hell is going on in the lad’s head.

Sky seem convinced it wasn’t a penalty fwiw. Don Goodman calling it all manner of variations on injustice, when really 1-1 is a fair result for a game we (largely) controlled.

Sure he played for it, like a dozen penalties a week are given. Let’s not pretend that we’re still in 1950 and players keep going under every tap they feel. Honestly I don’t know how Sky commentators’ brains don’t explode under the cognitive dissonance of calling this an injustice and being...

I absolutely couldn’t give two monkeys about this. We played cautiously, knowing that defeat, overextending or (god forbid) injuring tired players who potentially have another three matches to play could be disastrous. Sunderland fans are spitting feathers over a genuinely arguable episode of...

Losing 6-2 to Yeovil, 4-2 to Lincoln then stuffing somebody 6-1 all in the same month just feels like some sort of fever dream.

One thing I’ve noticed with other teams in the past (I seem to recall Wigan doing this several times in the past) is having an automatic promotion season seems to put a lot more momentum into their following season, and they do much better for it. I have to wonder whether if we fail to make it...

Imagine how depressing it’d be to not get promotion from the playoffs and have to face this league again next season? What then…?

Mining bitcoins for somebody else without knowing it?

Does anyone else feel like our form right now is so unpredictable that we could end up finishing anywhere from 8th to 4th; from missing out on play-offs to going to Wembley? I really can’t call it any more.

I’ve been keeping my little Predictor tool updated with results, and as we get closer to the end I feel like the giant margin of error in what it was predicting is starting to narrow (just a little bit). It’s probably still miles off, but after today this is what it’s coming up with as the final...

Funnily enough I was just talking to the one customer who ordered one today. A production issue (basically the supplier refusing to be sensible about the placement of the embroidered club badge) means they’re still being sourced, but since I want one for myself I’ll be sorting it out one way or...

What’s your point?

I’ve updated the predictor with today’s results. Should make guessing the final games easier as there are fewer and fewer games to play — I suspect with 4-5 matches left we’ll have some pretty accurate guesses out there.

Had a go at manually predicting every result. I’m sure this will be equally wrong, but it was a fun exercise: I tried mixing up the results for the top 8 or so a bit and it seems we’re almost always going to come out around 3-4th provided we have a good run. It’s really down to how much...

I predict your prediction that the predictor will be wrong will be right!

Yeah, like I say the predictor is extremely naïve. I’d be interested in experimenting with some more realistic predictions, but this is basically trying to do the kind of stuff bookmakers do to set odds, which is extremely non-trivial statistics. This is just a fun little project really :D Try...

Yeah, there was a bug which I have now fixed.

Peter Ramage. Saw him play away at Southend in the game that was the start of our collapse from the promising 2015/16 campaign and I’ve never seen a more useless defender.

So, inspired by thread about The Run In I decided to have a go at creating a tool for predicting the outcome of the league table based on the remaining fixtures, which you can find here: http://predictor.ccfc.nu/. It now has a go at predicting the actual results for the remainder of the season...

Sooo I’ve been working on a little tool to try and help predict the outcome of the league more accurately, which you can find here: http://predictor.ccfc.nu (it’s on a free Heroku hosting plan so if nobody visits it for a few minutes it may take 30 seconds or so to spin up at first). Right now...
