Is that in Wales?
Recruitment has been shocking (2 Viewers)

- Start date
I don't disagree with the above I'm just surprised it was his attacking play that needs more work I have always wondered if it's a confidence thing as no one will beat him In a race defensively but going forward he seems a lot less sure if that. Over all I think he's class and has room to improve!

Feels like midfield is the missing piece. No one seems to be consistent next to sheaf.
Hopefully torp is that man but wouldn't mind bringing in another central midfielder in summer to really push the first 11 on.
Hamer?....

Isn't it rumoured we have an option to buy the peterborough midfielder

If that isn’t written on paper somewhere it’s a meaningless gentleman’s agreement if that

I'll admit, there was a point in November I was genuinely worried about this team, lack of goals and the manners we were conceding were poor, but the performances were also just not there and I would have taken survival. I thought Simms was L1 at best. I was only happy with Sakamoto and MVE. So happy to be proved wrong.
I think I was disappointed as I remember Robins doing an interview before the season saying how the fans should be excited about this group.

Being wrong about players is one thing. Abusive character assassination is another.

There is a lesson in here for those of us who perennially jump the gun on these things. That said, after PNE we were hovering above the drop zone, playing poor football, conceding soft goals and the manager looked a bit lost for the first time in a long time.
People were right to be concerned I think

I don't think they were - the season was in it's infancy
There was always something there and we would always pull away once everyone got settled and we worked out how to get the best out of these players

Of course we should’ve been concerned but some of the comments were way over the top , and as for the comments about some of the players and Robins ………

That’s the point - personal attacks arent necessary but calling a footballer shite isn’t the same and is fine

It took abandoning the wing back system for form to drastically improve which is a slight concern given how much was spent on players to suit it.
We have found a way to reinvent the side which is great, but it’s clear that our Plan A just didn’t work. Really not helped by Gus pissing off in August I’ll admit

Yeah, but there is a massive difference between saying a new player has been shite so far and he IS shite and declaring him a bad signing.
Many were too dismissive, far too early and were writing players off completely.
Where are all the people now who were laughing at and mocking the posters who said maybe give the players a chance to gel?
Clearly WAS the case wasn't it. Took time for it all to come together and to see the true worth of the likes of Wright, Simms, Kitching and Thomas.

Yep, I was labelled a 'happy clapper' and a 'super fan' for not berating all of our new players and for saying they needed a little more time than usual to settle inYeah, but there is a massive difference between saying a new player has been shite so far and he IS shite and declaring him a bad signing.

If the insinuation is anything to do with race, I think it’s very clear that’s bollcoks - you seem to be on the morally right side of any of those arguments historically.
Also you also had a long hatred of Maddison, Hamer, Robins etc so I think it’s more of a rubbish ability to spot talent as opposed to anything to do with race

Reckon they trawl through here aswell like the coaching team of whoever we're playing that week?

Look guys, I already said it around the time of the Leicester game and I’ll say it again here seeing as it’s become a topic of discussion again. I know I posted a lot of shite at the start of the season, and I was very clearly wrong about a lot of the new players. I know I have a bad habit of being very reactionary while the games are going on and being overly negative when things aren’t going great. I’ll own those posts, it’s whatever, I’m glad they’ve come back to bite me on the arse because it just shows that the team has massive improved which is what we all want really.
Apologies specifically to @alexccfc99. I was a right knob to you after either Cardiff or Rotherham I think it was, completely needless and you have of course been proven correct as the season has progressed

Twitter, Facebook, here, whatever, it’s still mostly grown men writing about other grown men on the internet. The first two are cesspits in any case

Ya don't go on first two anymore. I think here is more of a hardcore fan base in terms of caring about ccfc 247 etc at least. It's more casual on twitter and fb

Twitter is where the most moronic player abuse happens from what I see. Also where some really embarrassing stuff gets written between our fans and those from other clubs.
