No more replies from me on this topic you scaredy cats.

In fact no more from me on all topics, Wasting my time. Yipee you can shout.

Regency pay my £10 to CTFC to get a replacement for Lloyd. Should be enough.

Why am I not entitled to my opinion. What is the point of the spare keeper. Contributed nothing all season. Could have had Olayinka on the bench or even King today. It is getting to the point where we have to take a gamble. You really are a bit of a miserable so and so, dissing any ideas or comment...

Given Street isn't even likely to be training until we're well into pre-season I think he needs a bit more than patching up. The important thing to remember is that nothing has changed after today. Win on Tuesday and we're out of the relegation zone. If we lose, then we probably deserve what we get...

Keena and Nuttall up top for me. Or Nuttall with Harrop sitting off him. We can’t rely on Lloyd to score a goal, even if given a clear chance. Yep Lloydy has had his chance. Bin him, Never going to hit the back of the net. Not sure Keena will score either. Serious rethink needed by DC for Tuesday. ...

1985CTFC

Apologies for saying this again, but the time has finally come to ditch the Goalie on the bench and put a player who can provide an extra attacking option on the bench. Olayinka or even Tom King. Pardington isn't going to make or score a goal so no point having him there. Got to take a risk now. Ha...

Tuesday I would go Southwood Long Davies Bradbury Ferry Harrop Bonds Sercombe Thomas Keena Lloyd I'd stick someone else at RB if we had any half decent alternatives. Keena and Nuttall up top for me.

How can you play over 90 mins of football and not get a shot on target. So poor. Why as someone mentioned play a midfield who were poor on Monday again with having a game next Tuesday, flogging a dead horse comes to mind. Should have left them for Tuesday and started with Harrop, Bonds and either T...

At the end of the day they only have themselves to blame for ending up in Lg 2. No one else can be blamed. Just the players.

There’s a Wall of Fame board at the back of block 2 of the Colin Farmer that’s a similar kind of thing. It’s related to the crowdfunder for the scoreboard. https://x.com/robinstrust/status/853930277147742208?s=46&t=vU-XWU8keEQFUirLX0WjYQ I know I sit near it. But that's not quite the same as I ...

Last year I watched CTFC play at Exeter and prior to going through the turnstiles in their main stand I noticed the brick wall was covered with names presumably of fans of Exeter. Whether it was used to finance the building of the wall, ie pay for a brick I don't know.. With time on my hands it star...

When I say about other scouts info, I don't mean videos. They have very in depth info on everything they see. Well, the good ones do. No idea if we employ any other scouts full time, but none are listed on the club website's list of football staff, so I assume not at the moment. We don't know what ...

1985CTFC

As far as I know from bits and pieces I've heard from Micky Moore, Russ and a few things I've watched on YouTube and the like over the years, a scout is a scout, they go out and watch all different kinds of games, looking at players and opposition teams. Russ will have 2 or 3 other scouts working u...

Jordan Thomas. Oooops sorry, more lines to do for asi. Think I'll do just the surnames in future. Still no feedback on scouting at CTFC, not that I expect anything. Will just go in to the big black hole of things we never find out about. You mean in the 5 hours since you first posted?! Yeah I'm an ...

It would be a great next episode of the Trust's Ornithology podcast, but might be a bit of an ask to get a member of the scouting team on. Thomas looks a great find, but let's not forget that every team is looking in the lower leagues for the next gem, and most have bigger budgets and scouting netw...

Was there. Doesn't time fly, scary.
Hope in another 25yrs, we are mentioning the great escape in 2024, from our mid table Championship position! Can dream can't I?

1985CTFC

Probably helped that ex Robin Jerry Gill is the Bath City manager. Of course, but can't rely on Jerry to produce gems all the time for us. I understand we were not the only ones looking at Josh. But we got in there first. Which was good. Going to be interesting the quality of newcomers either signe...

1985CTFC

Does anyone know on here who scouts the opposition prior to CTFC playing them. Is it Russ? I vaguely remember when Mike Duff was here he mentioned we have a couple of scouts, one north one south. Is that still the case and do they scout opposition as well as new talent. Or has it all changed. Anyone...

Looked at the Comments from Leeds Millwall game see below, These are the comments after the game, These were the number of them I kid you not The ref has form and bad form at that. All these from one game. They are not made up by me. Please if anyone wants to, cut and paste and send to the referee a...

He looks like a really good pickup. We'll done Mr Milton after the flack he's got this season. My only question is, if he is a starter how does DC accommodate him in our current system? I'd hate to see him converted to a wing back I agree it would be a waste and a risk to convert him to a wing back...

Seen the replay of the Exeter pen decision now and it seems to be one of those that was never a pen according to the original handball rule, i.e. it had to be deliberate. No way was it deliberate but it did seem to hit the hand and these days it is down to how ready the ref is to give it and of cou...

1985CTFC

Still think we should play him up front at times, or a licence to roam across the front. Played on the right for Bath as well.
Him having the ball at his feet in and around the box would cause a lot of problems and may create space for others.

1985CTFC

As slippery as an eel ! Just looks like he is a ghost and just runs through the opposition players, supernatural!
Must be a chant there ....super super supernatural Jordan Thomas....first chant I have ever made up in all my years

Video of just one of those that the ref deemed a fair challenge

Outside the box that would be a foul. No doubt about it.

Not all over yet. Cambridge run of tough games start. We can still over take Burton and PortVale. Port Vale have 2 tough away games and their run has come to an end. Reading wobbling as well. L Orient won't be in playoffs , so hope there. Players coming in all did ok which was good, because we will ...

1985CTFC

Second best, we‘ve deserved nothing. Wtf are you talking about? Second half we were by far the better side Over the 90 minutes Exeter were the better team and mostly controlled the way the game panned out. They worked the ball well going forward whereas we were pretty wasteful or lacked options and...

You mean should not will. Almost right.
Exeter have a poor record for giving away pens, was their very very lucky day. Cheating ref. So frustrating.

1985CTFC

Absolute joke of a referee. How that wasn't a pen on Thomas I don't know. Then he gives one against us when the ball was hit at Freestone from 2 metres. Give one give them both or non for both. Cheating git. Should be ashamed of himself.

1985CTFC

Need to get a grip in midfield. Luckily they don't score many or else we would be out of it. Need to target Sweeney in these conditions. Perfect for bringing Thomas on later to go at him with him having a yellow and prone to giving fouls away and maybe a penalty in the offing. Can't get any worse se...
