It's really, really boring hearing the older generation harp on about the good old days and how players from the 60s/70s were so much better than this current crop blah blah etc etc. Completely irrelevant points to make as the game was entirely different to how it is now and I find it's often...

You're correct re Shipley. Rolled his ankle in the warm up and had to battle through the 90. Not sure why he didn't start on the bench or get subbed considering the manner in which MR approached the game.

Boyce is their top scorer, scored twice in their League Cup run as well. Evtimov is a keeper I believe, ex-Forest.

What a dumb fucking argument

Great post. "Doyle's legs have gone" is a lazy argument to make. He is critical to way this team functions and I don't think Kelly or Ogogo can adequately fill the same role that he does.

Have to play strongest side, want to progress in the FA cup. Doyle should start 100%. Assuming Sterling and Bayliss are still out: Burge Grimmer/Thompson Willis Davies Brown Thomas (if eligible) Doyle Kelly Hiwula Chaplin JCH LOB, Grimmer/Thompson, Hyam, Ogogo, Shipley, Jones, Bakayoko

And no Danny Ward...;)

Yeah, we've been fairly clean as a side this year. Only 5 more games (4 league, 1 FA cup) to go until the cut off for 5 yellow cards passes (ie. if you get to 5 after then you won't get suspended). Kelly, Davies and Thomas are joint leaders with 2 yellows, hopefully all should avoid suspensions.

Clive is fucking shit. Martin Winch was miles better when he did the Bradford game

Well out of date. His record in his 2nd spell is P88 W41 D16 L31. Win ratio 46.6% Incidentally his combined record over both spells is P121 W58 D22 L41. Win ratio 47.9%. The combined stats put him in 2nd place of most successful CCFC managers ever (where there is data available), behind...

It was actually a pretty poor finish from Hiwula, straight at the keeper and got lucky that it went under him and took a deflection that put it in the corner. But pleased for him and thought he played well on the left even without the goal.

Who was it who made the huge fuck up slice that the guy apparently handled in the net?? Awful bit of defending

Second time he’s almost given away a pen right on HT. Stupid foul

He is. I'd be looking at extensions for both him and Willis if I was MR

H&R is a pretty awful ground, won't be any cover for away fans. Also minimal places to drink beforehand and there isn't really a train station close by. Hampton is a small place

Agree, I'd like another decent cup run this year so home draws against non-league sides in rounds 1 & 2 is my preference

Don't think Grimmer was dropped as such, MR mentioned previously that he needed some extra time to rest after playing virtually every game last season (circa 50), hence why Sterling started and Grimmer then came back in.

Yes I mentioned him...

Really struggling to remember us having many (quality) dead ball specialists in recent years - Cole and Maguire only played a handful of games, ditto Maddison... beyond them I can only really think of Danny Fox, with mentions for Clingan and McSheffrey (1st spell)

I'd like to see Mason at LB assuming he's fit enough, but guessing it will be Brown seeing as MR said Mason was blowing out his arse after an hour v FGR
