I wonder how Colchester pay their players on a gate of 8000

Must have been a difference today I think the attendance was in the 8000s

Which goes back to the discussions about 451 versus 442 I still think we should play 442

The weather is getting colder and I am going to freeze at St Mary's on Saturday

Could be 16 if Swindon and Huddersfield win their games in hand

Not forgetting Swindon

To get into the playoffs with a ten point deduction the team would have to have performed as a top three team over the whole season something it has failed to do.

OK thanks Seems a stupid post to me

You cant play two goalies but I said quality players

Could somebody please translate this post for me

I just dont think we are as good as a lot of people think we are. When we go up we need to be able to compete with teams in the CCC and stay there - I dont think many of this team are quality CCC players

You are quite right We are doing pretty well We have one of the best goal differences in the League and are in line for obtaining at least 75 points for the decision it is a shame that we have to take off 10 points for going into administration. We are in the third round of the FA Cup and have a great chance of going to Wembley in the JPT

I agree and the team is good enough without the ten point deduction we would be in the play off positions We are in the last four of the JPT.

I have always thought that we should have the JPT as top priority and my only concern is the tinkering of the team in recent weeks. I notice B'ham have not changed their team in the last eight games and are now unbeaten in 11 Whilst we continue to have a different defence each game

I agree they will be off but as they are getting paid I really dont understand why they have not played some part in the season

Being realistic on this forum is not really appreciated but getting promoted with clubs like Norwich Leeds and Charlton in the same league coupled with a ten point decuction and a loss of players like Surman John McGoldrick etc was not going to be easy.

I dont think our squad is good enough although I have been surprised that Saga and Holmes have not played to give others a rest

That has been apparent to me for sometime and that is why I think we will be very lucky to reach the playoffs

No we are better than that but having -10 points makes it feel like it

No we are not pathetic we would be in the playoffs if we did not have -10 points to begin with

You are possibly right but that is not the point I am making. The reason we will prosper in the future is because we have no financial worries and are not being run by the bank.

Like you I am happy where we are today because we have financial stability and will continue to move forward. It is because we have a rich owner that things are looking good surely that is not rot.

Did he get a Christmas card from either Rupert Leon or any fan

Surely you cant have a foot in both camps You either disagree or agree that money is the main reason for success in football . Your point regarding AP is very pertinent without money Pardew would never have to come to SFC

Probably a very wealthy nobody too
