I mean, I’m going on like I’m his agent now so I will stop now but have to correct made up stats posted as facts. 81% pass success rate.

Not discrediting Simms… I just mean it would’ve been so easy to play that pass into feet (by which time the defender closes down).

I think he’d work well centrally with someone else up there with him but he’s not a 9 and we currently play with one 9. Even Simms struggles physically up there on his own at times and looks a bit lost, I don’t think I’d want to see Tavares being the one to try and hold it up / win headers etc.

Great ball from Palmer, basically told Simms where to run and that was essentially the difference tonight. Good finish from Simms too. I maintain Palmer is the best passer of the ball in attacking areas that we have. Weight of pass is almost always perfect

No and I think that the man that is funding the club is well aware he’s got one of the best managers that would be available to CCFC and is the reason that we are now a club with 22,000 season ticket holders which *is* helping to fund the club. We as fans should be very wary of putting pressure...

Jesus, I've heard it all now. We're purposely having bad starts so that we can have better finishes? 😂 It's as simple as this... we try and win every league game but sometimes we just don't. The fact that people are even talking about robins having pressure this season is bizarre to me. We're...

Seems really odd that. Why would you let someone be in charge of the whole of preseason if there is a chance you could sack them after one game. It surely cant have been because of that one result?

That’s the real quiz

Im Palmers biggest fan but he’s not a CDM mate. I really don’t think you could call the team selection “utterly baffling” - we just weren’t at it today and deserved to lose

Apart from Eccles for Allen it was pretty much what we all thought wasn’t it? So much hindsight correction

1 game in and it’s already come true. Y’all laughed at me

Was just about to say I can’t understand how MVE isn’t getting an 8 from anyone. He intercepted a lot, was up and down the whole game, got past his man a couple of times in attack as well. Binks was another 8 for me without seeing his involvement back for the goal yet but not sure that was much...

?? He’s a very good player

It’s just midfield for me. It will change everything else - Eccles has to come on for Allen and give us a foothold to then get the wingers on the ball.

When the attendance got read out last night I had a real sense of ‘we’ve come a long way’ (SHFWC). I was part of 6,500 crowds for actual league games less than a decade ago. The idea of having nearly triple that for a friendly is wild. I remember having whole rows to just your group.

I think if Saka is injured or rested then either EMC or Haji would go on the right and the other or Palmer on the left. Technically Palmer could also cover the right but he’s much better inverted, cutting in as opposed to the other two that have the pace to go on the outside. And that’s...

A song that scans well, is simple to learn and not too cringe. It’ll never catch on mate.

Great team performance. My first look at the two new lads…. Rudoni made some lovely offers off the ball, albeit not taken up on many of them. Think he’ll be decent. EMC looked very good too. Few showings of quick feet and I think he’ll stretch teams - we’ve got some great competition for that...

How old is Richard Duffy these days? edit - 1. I’ve just looked and he’s actually younger than Ronaldo who’s still playing at the highest international level 🤯 2. He came on loan to us 4 seperate times.. that has to be a record for any player / club in the modern era

Hope we draw Stockport in the cup so we can give Tayo a warm reception. City legend ❤️
