I don't look for good performances at the moment I look for points, because that is what we need

If we appointed Flynn or someone else with a reputation and more experience and we had the same results as GC we would be chanting “Flynn’s barmy army” and claiming him to be hero...but because it’s GC with no reputation he doesn’t get the praise he deserves...
It hasn’t been fantastic flowing football but the team DC had left us with that was never going to happen,
What he’s done has turned what we have into strong believers...
Yes We give the ball away still far to much and play very narrow as we struggle to play with wide men and our defence would rather thump it or head it back to the opposition instead of playing to our midfield/forwards to feet but this is all about grinding out results at this stage of the season and he’s done that..
I trust him with next seasons budget than dc by a long stretch as he’s trying to bring in players he’s worked with before so he knows all the ins and outs...
We need to start getting behind him more and singing his name UTG

The trouble is trying to sing " Coughlan" in a chant feels like your teeth are falling out  |

That’s true but GC has worked with championship clubs and league 1 where dc done amazing with lower league players...I love dc for what he’s done but it was right for him to go for both parties. I personally think dc just got carried away with himself and over thought everything and GC has just been honest and basic and especially away from home made us a tough team to play... |

We need to start getting behind him more and singing his name UTG Yes agree. And GC said it wouldn’t be fantastic flowing football but that we would grind out results, and so far we have. Long way to go yet and we are still in a big fight but listening to his post-match interview he knows that and there’s no complacency about where we are. Hes only had one transfer window so it’s hard to say but on the evidence of that one he did exactly what he said he would do, get a few out before any came in. He said it was too big a squad, he made it smaller and on the evidence so far has made it a better squad. And, most importantly, he looked to solve our striker problem and has gone a long way towards doing that. Well done GC. Long may it continue.😀 UTG! |

After watching us tap it around without any fight or goals and constantly lose by the odd goal all season I’m delighted with our tough fast attacking play since Cogs arrived.
We look more like the sort of team you see at the top end I think.
Loads of fight , some tough big lads who put themselves about and horrible to play against.
Plenty of promotion winning sides or narrowly missing out sides in league 1 like that over the last 20 years.

I don’t see him as chsmpionship standard from his time with us but he’s still young and if we can sign then I think we should . He’s better than smith and Slocombe and our defence have worked with him for a year. Will be interesting to see what Brentford do regarding Bonham's contract, are they prepared to release him on a free, if do, can another Div 1/Championship offer him more than us, if not, will they let him rejoin us if we look like we might be fighting at the right end of the table next season? It's a funny one. I'm very much against this idea than anyone at a higher div club must be better than players at our level. It's patently untrue. Players at higher clubs are there for various reasons, not always of a clear 'ready for a higher level' reason. The above is not aimed at Bonham - just a general point. Bonham is Bonham. A decent keeper and seemingly a decent, down to earth character. Would be good to sign him if everyone is happy, and within a fair wage. If not, we move on. |

There’s been lots of talk on here in the last few days about the players we’ve got not good enough to take us to the next level but the next level up from what we’ve got are players that the big clubs in league 1 bring in on big money. Shipping out the likes of James Clarke , olly , Nichols , Craig probably won’t see us bring in anything better and we run the risk of getting it wrong and the players not gelling. I think we need to downsize our squad by releasing perhaps 5 players and bringing in two quality players for this level. For example releasing 5 players on two grand a week would give us scope to bring in 2 top players on 5 grand a week each if we can convince players of that quality to sign which would downsize our squad and also give us more quality. Cogs said when he signed that the squads too big so I reckon he’s thinking along the same lines. Cracking post, I completely agree with this. Remember when Trolls released several long term and popular players who were "not good enough" and their replacements were supposed to be better but didn't have the same passion for the club nor the desired improvements in quality. Result? Relegation. Yes. Ultimately that was what started the slow decline to non-lge. A huge misjudgment & very very financially costly. |

His nickname is pronounced cocks. I'm sure we could find a song for that. 🥴😂 |
