Bidwell hasn't had a great start to the season but I feel much more comfortable with him in the team over Dasilva, who is too susceptible to getting beat by a simple long ball over his head, and who also leaves the team weaker physically at a time when the team as a whole doesn't have an...

Unless we were to get really lucky with our choice, any new manager would be more likely to take us backwards rather than forwards. We would be really stupid to dispose of MR right now.

The not trying label doesn't fit with me. There does however seem to be a lack of confidence and belief, which probably hasn't been helped by MR's constant chopping and changing, which leaves a number of players uncertain of their places and role in the team. It probably just requires another...

I would be interested to see how Simms and Bassette worked up front together. I've got a feeling they could be a good combination, although playing them both would require a fundamental change in tactics, and probably leave no room for Wright, so would be a big decision on MR's part.

Not really sure what to make of Dovin yet either. None of the goals he's conceded have been particularly bad on his part, but equally he hasn't yet made a 'wow' save either. He doesn't seem to be very vocal in organising the defence in front of him, which I guess is understandable given his age...

Taking out variances in form and squad rotation, then yes that is probably MR's strongest starting XI, and I suspect he already knows that. Unfortunately injuries, suspensions and variable performance levels has prevented him from playing that team.

He's done well at Oxford, but that doesn't mean he would do well elsewhere. If other Championship teams are looking for a new manager all would pick MR over him. Bringing in a new manager would be a complete lottery - we might hit lucky, but most would be likely to fail. After all that MR has...

Seriously? Pretty sure in our years falling out of the Championship and then out of League 1 there were plenty accusations of players not making much effort!

That's your take on it. A take I find a bit weird! You have chosen to interpret it as a lap of honour, whereas most normal people would view it as a way of showing his appreciation for the start we gave him, and to the City where he is from. A lack of respect would have been taunting us &...

Maddison can't really win with some people. He is a professional footballer playing for Spurs and did what he had to do to help them win. He also clearly wanted to show some respect to us on his first visit back since leaving. I really don't get the need to hate him for it!

A friend of mine told me he went into a pub in Richmond (not sure which one) when we were playing the play off final, and it was full of Cov fans.

I was connected to Copsewood Ladies team a few years back, who made it up through the leagues and made it up to the same level as the CCFC ladies team, and even beat them on a couple of occasions! Looking from the outside it seemed to me that they were poorly run as they should have been light...

I don't think your memory of the Forest game is as vivid as you think :) Forest weren't given the whole kop, they just turned up in huge numbers and took it over. There was also no lap of honour either. While the crowd were waiting for Forest to come out to celebrate, some Forest fans started...

There is definitely more of a mindset these days around scoring the perfect goal rather than just having a go. Same with wide players when they get in a good position to cross but elect to turn back and retain possession instead.

I don't think our throw ins are as bad as they used to be. I also think that on the whole Thomas is decent at keeping possession. I think this is where a couple of instances of both get stuck in the memory and have us believing they happen all the time. My bugbears are mostly to do with...

Highlighted is correct. EMC's best position is where we play £7m Wright so in terms of cost Wright should be ahead of him. Kitching has simply been stymied by being suspended at the start of the season and by his replacement Binks having a half decent start to the season. There's a long way to...

Which is what I said! I'm fine with season ticket holders benefiting from a discounted match by match rate for league games. What I don't agree with is them getting further discounted tickets in cup competitions over and above other supporters, particularly when they have not been shown to...

The away priority ticket holders don't get cheaper tickets though! To clarify on this: 1) I think its great we have so many season ticket holders. Having over 20,000 commit to it has undoubtedly been one of the factors in the upward vibes around the club. 2) In return those season ticket...

In all honesty I have no problem season tickets benefitting from nice early bird deals. I just don't see why they should also get cheaper deals in the cup. The season ticket holders hardly turned up in force for the Oxford game in the last round after all!

Where did I say we should not have any season ticket holders?
