I’m old enough t remember the circumstances under which Rob Gurney stopped reporting on CCFC. Getting too close to the thing that you love and seeing its imperfections was too much for him.

I don’t doubt that @Saddlebrains or @GIMOC are die hard Cov fans who want the absolute best for the club but they come across on here so negatively.

I wonder whether they are experiencing a little of what Gurney did, albeit indirectly.

if so then give your contacts a swerve guys because honestly sometimes it’s better not to know and to enjoy the ride…. We haven’t had it so good for decades and I hope you can start to enjoy it.

I'm no way as negative as him

 

[stevefloyd]

I'm no way as negative as him

That's a bit negative

 

[GIMOC]

not being negative its called being a realist

look at facts over the last 12 months we have regressed as a team

fa cup run paper over the cracks

our form since April has been shocking as have the performances

Fans have put the effort in. Another big crowd yesterday and performance was shocking

all the season tickets sold and lack of transfer activity will soon have a negative effort if the team continue to play poor

that might sound negative but it’s true and if you don’t believe it then you are delusional

12 months ago we had 5 points, this season we have 4. Bit of a leap.

performances in the past 10-12 games have been poor

that is a fact and a sign of regression

So you’re saying we’ve regressed in the last 10-12 games, not over the last 12 months.

 

[Deity]

The fact you respond with another unbalanced rant is further evidence of my point.

false, you just said we’ve regressed over the last 10-12 games, and facts back that.

But you have to come out with the usual warped, sensationalist bilge about “12 months” for your weird ultra negative motives, then start picking arguments when you’re called out.

As a squad & team we’re stronger now than 12 months ago, but we have not performed or delivered anything at all so far. The end of last season we were wiped out and faded very badly. All fact. But to try and paint a picture of a yearlong decline- that’s just the usual bollocks from you to be honest.

Last season was the first season we dropped finishing postion below the season before

thats called regression

seriously you need to think before you post sometimes

I don't agree we're stronger, we're stronger in certain areas, but that is a weak as piss midfield and ultimately, that's where games are won and lost and we've been over ran by Stoke, Bristol and Norwich 2nd half yestersay, 3 decidedly average teams.

Again, I’ll point out the facts. You literally said “the last 12 months”. I know you’re not the smartest but that takes us back to Sep 1st 2023.

Would you like another little squirm, or just slither off to find something else to complain aboit?

seriously you need to give your head a wobble

this team is regressing whether it’s past 2 months, 6 months 12 months or 18 months. apart from a fa cup run which we had the luck of the draws we’ve regressed in the league

 

[Deity]

@GIMOC I’m not going to waste my time commenting on every point, but to give you an example we clearly have not had a lack of transfer activity. We have 7 ( seven ) new talented players on long term contracts. What we have done is failed to land our CDM target.

if you read your posts most things associated with the club you criticise except the fans, and offer very little positive comment. It’s almost the definition of having a negative outlook

 

[GIMOC]

why not? Thought it was an unbalanced rant? Surely if it’s that unbalanced you can rip it to shreds

how many players did we sell/release?

the players coming in have not shown anything yet to suggest they are a massive upgrade on the price tags spent hence why 9 of the 10 outfield players starting yesterday were here last season

Stop twisting things and maybe you won’t get called out. You’ve been on an ‘anti CCFC’ crusade ever since they had the temerity to ask you to pay more than a few quid for a box.

how have I twisted anything? Where? Stating facts

I go home and away. Not anti CCFC but I think something needs calling out I will call it out

no owner, player or manager is bigger than the club. if they do something wrong then it should get called out

 

[GIMOC]

And at the minute I’m not seeing the progress we should be making if we are aiming to be top flight in the next 2 years

the Luton playoff final was probably our biggest or best chance of promotion and we fluffed it

Lack of transfer activity? Just remind me how many times in the last 20 seasons we spent several million on players.

 

[Deity]

None of us are happy with our start but most of us are capable of differentiating between a disappointing start on the pitch and great progress off it .

 

[chiefdave]

Got to laugh, a thread about gimoc and saddles being negative. Third replay is a negative post from gimoc, liked by saddles

money is irrelevant it’s what you bring in and in what positions

money doesn’t guarantee success

everyone knows we needed more in the middle and it wasn’t addressed

balance of the squad isn’t great and that’s showing on the pitch

Oh yes because everything is just fine at the minute

2 wins in 12 games is great isn’t it

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

But that’s it just there mate. You are judging it on 12 games.
You have picked out the end of last season and the beginning of this.
2 wins isn’t good but we have got to give it time. I still think we have a good manager. I have never been sure about our new owner, and still don’t trust him.
But we go with what we have got,at the moment it’s better than what we had.
I thought I was a negative person, but you are knocking me into a cocked hat at the minute.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Or three wins in six league and cup this season. Depends how you want to look at stuff

Personalty I'm looking purely at our 4 league games this season and I'm concerned with what I've seen.

 

[Gint11]

Some valid points from GIMOC. I agree with a lot of it. I do think we’ll turn it around but for me there’s no excuses this season and we’ve fucked it in midfield.

 

[CCFCSteve]

It’s been poor but I’m talking about people throwing our stats to suit their position/negative agenda

We’ve also had Saddle saying Eccles was ranting at the bench and wanted to be subbed off yesterday and GIMOC saying sheafs out for six weeks (when hopefully he’ll miss one game) over the past two days.

I’m as frustrated as the next fan, especially after the second half yesterday, but this sites just becoming toxic.

Absurdly blind optimism is not better though is it?

Last two seasons the start was dreadful and we are struggling again

 

[Briles]

People were saying the same old shit beginning of last season and we picked it up. Rinse and repeat by the same people. It's getting tedious

We picked it up for a while. We went on a good run of form which then quickly died off
