Since the various spreadsheet analysis team came in to CCFC a year or so ago we seem to have become a lot more constrained and likely to pass...

    Work with the tools you’ve got.

    I’m sure we tried to sign midfielders to do the job with the gaps we have. However, if you’ve got 7 capable strikers and wingers at this level, and 3 midfielders (arguably only Sheaf at this level) then is it worth reverting to 2 up top with 2 cutting in or one as an 8 and a 3 at the back with...

    Team Leader?

    Was half expecting a “leader” type player to come in over this window. Fadz, Kelly and even Gus and Cal were deemed to be “big voices” in the squad. MR suggests that they are a “quiet bunch”. Off field, AV was a strong character as too, I suspect, big Dennis Lawrence. Just an observation...

    Kyle Hudlin

    Thought I’d start a thread for the 😂 Got some dog’s abuse on here over the years from the brainy bunch for having the temerity to even suggest we look at a 20 year old undeveloped local lad who was studying whilst playing. I thought it an idea that we stick him in our u21/23 development...

    Gyok Or Arena

    It’s going to be silly season on here for a few weeks with no Cov games. There is talk of £30m for Viktor which seems quite bonkers but stranger things have happened. 27 scouts the other day someone said, obviously not all Prem, the £25m plus the Germans spent on Bellingham worth noting. I’m...
