We’re competing in every game. Bar the Birmingham game where we looked jaded in the last half hour and the Sheffield Wednesday game, where I thought we won at a canter, the other games have all been reasonably close.
The slight concern I’ve got is Sheehan was doing that last season, with worse players and much less squad depth. So was he over performing then or is he under performing now? Or is it just a case of so many new players coming in and it’s taking time to gel?
We were discussing at the start of the season, whether the bounce after Williams was down to Sheehan or Lewis O'Brien. We thought that we would soon find out, yet somehow we are still wondering. The jury has been out a long time and we still don't have the answer. If we win, then it's probably a place in the play-offs positions. Anything else, and it's 5 home games with just one win, by 1-0, against the worst team in the league.

Anything else? Leicester are one of the favourites to go up so if we don't beat them it's certainly ot the end of the world, and to call Sheffield United the worst team in the league at this early stage is plain daft
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

Personally , the most obnoxious and arrogant in the league by far Horrible deckers

Maybe an idea to stop mocking our attendances then
Why? They are quite low thus far and plenty on here have been asking the question, I just thought I’d pitch in and tell you what ccfc have been getting in a league below after ditching 18 players… like you dont know. 🧐 You know I’ve been going to games for over 35 years right? Probably been to 60 grounds but have just got bored of football like so many others of a similar era. The “matchday” experience is a load of bolllllocks. Just surprised we don’t have 4 quarters yet hey.

Have to say I agree with that The raw emotion of going to games has gone It’s all very anodyne now Seating doesn’t help People used to queue for hours to get into a game and no be arsed about getting a drink and a cold pie People could turn up on the day Characters less evident on and off pitch
Whether you go or not , you are still a fan as otherwise you wouldn’t waste your time on here , like me People like me ? We shouldn’t really comment at all

I’ll post here now and again but not really been on here much, seems a bit pointless when we not even competing in same league. 20 years ago it would literally ruin me for a day or two if we lost, now it’s akin to being stuck in traffic, gone in a few minutes….

I still get upset but not angry as Zi did Over the years I’d admit to ruining family birthdays , funerals, new years , Christmas , holidays because we lost

I’m not arguing about the validity of the question.
If you can’t grasp why it’s embarrassing for someone who hasn’t bothered supporting his own team for 25 years to be smirking over another teams attendance, I doubt I’ll be able to explain it to you.
Is that 35 years but you only actually went to games for 10 of them? Or you started 60 years ago?
Either way, if I stopped going now, I’d have too much self respect to be baiting Cardiff about their attendances in 25 years time.

League table wise you’ve got to be happy, but that’s largely because nobody has put a real run together and there are a lot of clubs bunched up on similar points. It’s rare for the three relegated sides all to underwhelm.
Honestly think Sheehan would have got us this many points with the side he had last season.

We haven't really impressed in any game so far this season. We've not played free flowing football, we've conceded some avoidable goals, we've not, Vipotnik aside, been particularly prolific in front of goals ourselves.
What we have been however is hard to beat. You could argue that we could, maybe should have won all three games that we've drawn, and both of the games that we've lost could easily have been draws. That goes a long way at this level.
The foundations are in place, but we're not quite there when it comes to the rest of the building. That's Sheehan's job and he will live or die depending upon how well he does it. Big test on Saturday. Whilst a draw wouldn't be the end of the World, we do need to show that we are competitive.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Do you think that it's still early and that some of the new players haven't adjusted playing with their teammates just yet? Some are there, like Galbraith, Stamenic & Burgess. Some are close, like Yalcouye & Inoussa, maybe Idah, maybe Widell. Benson & Ishe have seen some PT but haven't quite clicked. Wales, Casey & Santos have seen very little playing time due to manager's choice and injury. And, some returning players haven't gelled with the new players just yet, or don't understand their roles yet. I hope that Sheehan can smooth out the rough spots sooner rather than later because on paper this team is talented and should excel.

Yes I do. We’ve essentially had three or four transfer windows in one go. Fully appreciate there will be some teething problems when you bring that many players, mainly first team quality, in at the same time.
Your last sentence is the issue for me though. How long is reasonable for the squad to start getting somewhere near its potential? We’re a very long way off that at the moment.
Judging by the games I’ve seen (all of ours and three or four others on tv), we’d be rinsing this league if we were playing near our potential

I realise that this might contradict my "hard to beat" stuff from just now, but I genuinely believe that we would probably benefit from taking a few more risks, especially when it comes to team selection.
Yeah, we might lose a few more games than we otherwise would have, but we'd turn some draws into wins too. Overall I have to believe that we'd tot up more points that way. Five draws turned into victories would yield more points than five games we might have drawn turned into defeats.
Kinda runs against the modern football philosophy where "take no risks" seems to be the primary objective.

He’s playing his best three midfielders (I know Franco was rested last weekend), rather than the best functioning midfield. All great players, but none of them are particularly creative.
Finding it hard to create through the middle puts an emphasis on the flanks, which is possibly why our fullbacks are pushing forward and we’re having problems stopping crosses from deep and often get caught and outnumbered on the break.
Having said that, it would be a brave mood to drop any of them for Widdell, Cullen, Eom etc

Bravery is what we pay him for. If leaving one of our "better" midfielders out provides more tactical balance then that's what he needs to do.
Otherwise I concur.
He has to foster an environment where players understand and accept that maybe sitting out the odd game is not a condemnation, it's just the way that things are. Ignore the supporters. Too many of them are reactionary idiots. It's his squad he needs to influence.

Squad rotation is vital and we have a decent squad atm.
I suspect that players left out know why.
Look at how well franco played on Tuesday.
Widdel seems to be the one who the coaching team are working on, looking forward to seeing back in the squad.

I am encouraged by the idea that we're biding our time with Widell in a Bobby Wales style.
The whole thing does kinda remind me of where we've lost our way in recent seasons though. Players brought in to suit one manager who plays a certain style and is then sacked so the players are the ones who have to adapt. We have to get back to the "seamless transition" approach that marked our rise up the leagues the last time.
Hopefully Sheehan is enough of an anti-Martin/Williams kinda guy to give us a good foundation to work from. If he himself is the guy to deliver on it then great.

Great post, spot on 👌
Cant believe the clamour to see Wales playing, he was purchased for the near future, looks like widdel is similar, he reminds me of a stronger oli cooper, a bit of a headless chicken but there is definitely a player in there.
I trust sheehan, there are going to be a few rocks in the road, we just have to believe in him.

A lot of people were desperate to see Wales playing early in the season, especially when they were still convinced that Vipotnik was shite.
I liked Cooper. He was nowhere near good enough for a team with ambitions of exiting the division in an upwards direction but I couldn't fault his effort. Similar to Cullen in that regard.
Widell has far more to offer based on what I've seen.

Think we saw with Ollie Cooper in his short appearances last season better game management to see out the end of games and relieving pressure. I always liked Cooper whether it was playing further up the field making a nuisance of himself alongside Cundle high in the midfield to give space and options to the likes of Piroe and, Ntcham and even Paterson then he was asked to drop deeper to offer cover Mannings runs. Wasn't it Cooper who played against Cardiff earlier last season in a first half we overrun them, him being a vital part of it, then they changed tactics and made us and him look poor, so I think he fitted well into a team but you have to look at the managers inability to adapt tactics against other teams changes. Does Cooper have he same skill levels as Widell maybe not footwork you have to look at what skills he had to suit a team and how he fitted in, how is Widell fitting in at the moment with his better foot work but was Cooper able to do and know what was asked of him to see out games you could say Fulton has been utilised similarly last year. If we can get the likes of Widell, Wales and Parker with their different skills to fit the team better great but they will need game time in a relatively settled team. That is up to the managers and coaches to set up the team so all the squad members skills can be used or improved.

No no, not sure where you got 25 years from lol….probably just the last 5 I’ve not been much, to be honest not much since the dreaded red debacle so 10 years ish. As I’ve said, I’m quite shocked we still have 20,000 turning up, incredibly loyal considering the woeful couple of years. I will go again when Tan sells up, and he will soon I think, he’s old and his kids aren’t interested. I don’t mean to “mock” your crowds either, surely it’s a bit surprising we were getting 6/7/8k more? I think I worked out the main issue, you are missing us right? It ain’t quite the same without us fluffing about in the same league? Derby with the gogs? Nahhhh I don’t think so, different country.

Morning Bluey First I like your posting Second , detest the club and fan base as an entity That said, I both do and don’t miss you Yes, we look out for your results and glory when you lose and that’s normal , at least to me Now, wrectum have appeared like a great Phoenix but it ain’t the same People from down south IMO are clueless about Goglsnd and vice versa Why the feck would anyone from Caernarfon go to Cardiff the capital They don’t Folk from Wrexham are more linked to Merseyside and Manchester clubs Fact Countless great Welsh internationals came from fffffflontshire and all played for Merseyside and Manchester clubs Fact Countless
It’s why Wrexham won’t be our biggest “ rivals”
And yes, we are watching their development with interest hoping they implode
Fact
It’s about honesty and sometimes people can’t afford to show it publically
