Some of these players will have been around on good contracts for a while. Appearance payments to squad players will be less than to these senior professionals.
I do accept that this might not be the case. It seems we're seeing strange team selections at present - it is a possible explanation...
There will be an exodus in the summer, loanees, freebies trialists are all temporary and a sustainable team cannot be built with them.
Lack of real funds and an inability to address our major flaw (defending) has cost us dearly.
My money would be on a Nuneaton v Coventry next season, and under the present owners I will be hoping Nuneaton achieve great things
so you would root for nuneaton over cov?
my oh my
scum.
If Cov are still in Northampton and Nuneaton get promoted then a lot of people will.
Don't forget a lot of Cov fans come from Nuneaton and Bedworth.
no they dont. they are nuneaton fans by right and just glory fans if supporting cov because we are always above them)
support your local team, not closest biggish team.

A good summary although Leon Clarke handed in his transfer request on 13 January so Clarke didn't force his move through at the last minute. The club had 2 weeks to prepare for his departure and bring a replacement in and instead they rushed in a deadline day for Donnely who didn't want to be here.Where has our season faultered well I have a timeline as I think it might be easier to pin point every moment:
- Summer Transfer Window - Before the season has even kicked off we were doomed to struggle because we weren't able to bring any players in, when we did bring in two players we brought in a player who didn't work hard in training and wasn't prepared to be patient and a Scottish defender who has come in and provided experience.
- January Transfer Window - CCFC try to hold on to Leon Clarke by rejecting Wolves' approach but Leon forces his move at the last minute giving us no realistic opportunity to bring in a replacement, we bring in 5 loanee's, one defender permnamently and a lad who had been banned for two years.
- Leadership - After Leon's departure there has since been a lack of leadership on the pitch and vocal presence who demands the ball to make things happen.
- Injuries - Wilson has been out injured, Akpom's priority is an Arsenal youth game, Delfounseo is also injured and Donnelly has disappeared after one training session leaving us with no strikers and going into fixtures playing the prolfiic Carl Baker up front or a Sixteen year old.
- Defensive Lapses - Our defensive lapses have been occuring all season long, yet it's now become a painful adversary as we aren't scoring more goals than the other team, blatant, silly mistakes are costing the team.
- Pressure - I am sure the players are starting to look over there shoulder's with worry, Relegation is a real threat and something that to size of this Club would be unthinkable.
Now we are where we are and quickly we have to get out the state we are in because relegation would be beyond unthinkable.

I think you can also add the reliance on 2-3 players to score goals, we've not had 1 goal from central midfield this season, and even bakers rarely scored this season.

I was born in Coventry. Moved to Nuneaton when I was about 2. Grew up living at the bottom of Croft road. Their ground was about a 1 minute walk away. I sometimes watched games through the fence on the canal side. Moved back to Coventry when I was about 10.
Am I counted as a glory supporter or am I not allowed to want Nuneaton to win?
You Glory Supporter you watched Nuneaton through a fence
I was told a different angle from a current players dad to the Leon Clarke transfer. Clarke did ask for a transfer but was asked to delay any move until the summer and agreed to do that I assume by the manager. Steve Waggott pushed a move through in January quiet simply because ccfc needed the money asap.and that is why there was a seemingly mad dash on the last day or so of the window to recruit replacements, none of which in my opinion have been adequate.
I miss the tea lady from the Ricoh. She told us more that was going on than anyone else.
That doesn't quite add up tot he fact he refused to play against Leyton Orient then Pressley saying he'd been let don't by the player engineering a move away. I also don't think wolves would have come back in the summer for him after getting promoted.

Seems a bit odd to be posting on a different teams forum then really doesn't it?
Around Christmas time we were handily placed in the league having pulled back the 10 point deduction and within striking distance of the play-offs, so where does the blame lie ? Defence despite bringing in centre half Danny Seabourne leaks goals like a sieve, has Pressley done enough on that department, was the Webster/Jordan Clarke pairing as poor as a lot were saying, certainly let less goals in or has the pressing game initially a success been sussed and is SP a one trick pony. In my opinion we are staring relegation in the face which could be catastrophic for our future.
