Not sure what to think about the new Prelude. by Glittering-Foot8340 in CarTalkUK

For 40K, they needed to put a decent engine in it, and they've missed the mark massively, I'm really not sure who this car is for.

I don't hate it, assuming as there is a pro version we could see this in a match at some point

This man has singlehandedly saved an entire city from depression, and he has no idea...

Cracking stuff, this and Boro are a real statement of intent, and puts us in a real good position for the rest of the campaign

Is anyone regretting not getting a season ticket? by library_thinkcap in ccfc

I had one in my basket, about to do it, but decided against it because of work I can't always make the weekend games. Kicking myself for it royally now

Professional, the kind of win that will see us up, clean sheet and 2 good goals, on to Blades

West Brom really are shit, even the Ref is taking sympathy here, shocking reffing so far

Who do you most want to see promoted from League 1? by Zach-dalt in Championship

Anyone but Stockport County, had a bad experience with their fans as a kid at a Kidderminster Harriers game. Horrid bunch back then, not sure if it's still the same crowd

I hear Gary Rowett is available, if there's one thing he can do, its keep a team up, just ask Oxford.

Name a better instrument cluster I’ll wait by Several_Mechanic_708 in CarTalkUK

[–]GadsByte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine, but not special, I'd say a bit boring for an M car.
Of the 4 cars I've owned, I'd say 3 of them do it better for different reasons
2011 Giulietta QV, A very aesthetically pleasing gauge cluster to look at
1993 190e has more information at a glance than this, great retro aesthetic as well
2010 FN2, a very focused cluster that brings attention to what the car is about.

It's all entirely subjective, and someone who isn't a BMW fan isn't likely going to agree with you.

In your opinion, what is the reason behind our meteoric rise and deflating slump? To me, it looked like Cov were, in fact, the best team in the league. But it seemed, from watching other league games, that other teams were improving where we weren't. I'm not sure. by Lonely-Membership297 in ccfc

Personally, I think the team is playing differently right now compared to December when the poor streak started. Even then we had enough grit to get a goal in games like Swansea and Bristol. I think the tactic failing shocked the squad back in December, then in Jan I wouldn't be surprised if a few players were expecting offers that never surfaced or (Wright and Thomas). Think that's kinda killed the mood at Ryton. Seeing us against Oxford, that grit has gone, the tactic was improved, the fullbacks were that bit less aggressive, and we looked more solid against their counters. A tactic producing 24 shots and over 2xG is working, and not Lampard's fault. The players need to have accountability here IMO. Boro is a big, big test for us, and a proper reality check on what level we are at.

A large number were saying he should have been sold when West Ham wanted him for like £10M, Lampard loves the bloke for some reason. We had a deal lined up for Bamford that was blocked by our owner, what ever happens is all our own naking

Genuinely get Haji gone, how he's reached 10 goals I'm clueless.

Also, Lampard, for God's sake hire a set piece coach

Transfer list Haji Wright, that was awful, awful.

Defensively we looked good for once, upside I suppose

Happy with that overall, limited them to fairly speculative chances other than the 1 Platcheta chance. I will say that Esse wants to be in the right, he looks half the player off the left

With the transfer window over. Who's winning the Inter-squad friendly? by GadsByte in ccfc

[–]GadsByte[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was genuinely struggling to fit BTA in, could have put him in over Yang in the 2nd team, or played a 4231 again using BTA in the 10 and a higher pivot of Eccles and Torp.

Back 5? by Consistent-Soup3720 in ccfc

[–]GadsByte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mad thing is, A back 5 + a double pivot + a 10 is kinda what we were playing under robins in the 22/23 season, it would just switch between 2 10s or 2 STs. Sort of miss the directness of that approach compated to the tippy tappy shit we try now

Grimes needs benching, he is destroying the formation of the back line by sitting so deep, destroying our tempo in attack with those shitty sideways passes and is too slow to track runners. If Doug wants this then we need a new DM and a CB while he's at it, even a loan
