I was out of the country and out of Sky access area last Sunday Followed the match via this forum. A lot of comments during the game made me think we were struggling, and lucky to be winning. Watched the game last night, and could count the number of times we let Sunderland have even half...

It’s very simple. It has to be a clear and obvious mistake. Way to do this is - one review in real time by the video ref. If he can’t immediately conclude then stay with on field decision. I would go with this for offside and penalties. Over the line calls still subject to detailed review...

Not a classic performance by any means, but We refused to be dominated by a muscular team playing the long ball game. Defence were outstanding, but not one member of our team lacked commitment or a willingness to battle. Although our passing game was nowhere near the quality we have been used...

From the first game they knew they couldn’t out pass us. As they game went on they became so one dimensional well two - hoof ball and long throws. It was true role reversal with the lower league team showing the class. In football you don’t always get what you deserve and that is one of the...

It’s a one striker system. Gives much greater opportunity for midfielders to create (and score). It is the core of our success this season. Godden has 10 goals, but the most relevant stat - 7 players with 4 or more goals. 9 with 3 or more. I bet for this stage in the season that will be right up...

We were fitter than The Blues. Bodes well for the run of games coming up. One of the advantages of youth is that they recover more quickly Part of Blues fitness problem was there intense pressing from the off. We resisted it well. They obviously had a game plan to get an early goal (or two) and...

Well worth a read - all about football scouts but some really interesting insights into the game which make you think “oh yea - makes sense and I’d never really thought about this before” Good example - players stats - shots / distance run / tackles all obvious - but taking reference from...

Let’s just get some ground rules. Two teams in top half at this stage of the season. Draw has to be best result 2 points achieved not 3. Far to early to predict who is going to be in the mix in April

I presume it will be the one that has only lost three league games this season. “Depends in which CCFC team shows up” - sorry mate but crass statement - we have only been 90 minutes poor in two league games this season

Not a striker I know but a nomination for Jordan Shipley on this score

First two games I ever saw. Beat Chelsea 2-1 in the league. Next week held to a draw in the cup by Tranmere of division 3. A whole lifetime of being a Sky Blue fan summarised in my first two games!

For health reasons I have only seen the first match of the season, but by all accounts we are playing a great style of football, we are in the mix, we are only a form striker away from promotion in my opinion. Robins is doing a great job

That was their first team squad you saw mate!!

It’s Coventry ennit - we will lose this one

The biggest issue as far as I am concerned is the playing surface. We are playing a type of football well above normal league 1 norms. It won’t always work when we come up against destroyer teams but we have a much better chance on a decent surface. In any return to The Ricoh this has to be high...

I speak as someone who never set foot in Sixfields. It is different this time round. Sixfields was SISU stopping paying the rental - this time round blame is far more nuanced. St Andrews is a proper ground Mark Robins is doing a great job and deserves our support Fantastic atmosphere yesterday...

No ball boys led to Dabo taking that throw in from the seating. Ref instructed retake - what is the law - anyone know. Given his height did the ref think Dabo was a ball boy?

Why no ball boys - amusing answers please
