    Dudley Lewis

    Terribly sad news. One of a trio of talented young players from the Hafod area, along with Jimmy Loveridge and Tony Guard. A very modest young man. I think he was Head Boy at one of the schools he attended.

    Play-offs

    Always enjoyed going to Orient when we were in the same division as them. Pleasant fans and great fun watching the people who live in the corner flats by the away end taking stick graciously. But NJ aside, I have nothing against Charlton. Also a decent bunch of supporters you can have a...

    Ollie McBurnie

    Plus having someone in the dressing room who loves the club and the supporters as much as he does has got to be an advantage. That was one of our USPs in the Prem - having so many squad members who were genuinely happy to belong. It’s why I wasn’t sorry when Sinclair moved on. The rot...

    It’s good to see so many familiar faces on here from back in the day, welcome everyone! Especially @Rhydian - top poster!

    The Guestbook

    Duncan Thomas, who I believe ran SCFC2, is the owner of a company called Majestic Media which creates websites and does digital photography, a lot of it for the club.

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    My rationale for offering him a 12-month rolling contract with a cast-iron guarantee of a return to his former role if it doesn't work out, rather than (say) three years from the off, was partly in the interests of mitigating the financial impact of yet another excessive compensation package (we...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    OK maybe Cooper is a case of my hope overriding my experience! But Ginnelly was so impressive before his injury. It’s odd he’s not being given opportunities.

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    My view is that this squad has quite a lot of potential. Eom, Ronald, Franco, Cooper and Ginnelly in particular. Yes there are gaps. We need at least one 20-goal striker. Tymon and Key are weak defensively. We need to retain or replace O'Brien and we need at least one more CB. But Sheehan is...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    Hence my suggestion on another thread that we give him a one-year rolling contract with a guaranteed option to return to his old job by mutual consent if it doesn't work out and some hefty penalty clauses for any clubs that decide to poach him. We've spent far too much on compensation for...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    Well as I understood it, your post said that our players are not very good, Sheehan understands this and that's why he set them up to play "ugly" football against Derby. The Plymouth game showed that Sheehan is perfectly capable of setting his players up to play 'champagne football'. First...

    Bold post. Let’s see how it ages.

    New Manager

    I’d give him a one-year rolling contract, a guarantee that he can have his old job back any time he decides he’d rather do that and Alan Curtis’s kettle. Least he deserves. And plenty of exit routes for both parties if it doesn’t work out.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 1 Derby County 0 | Att: 16,501 | The EFL Championship

    So Sheehan has spoken: the tactics against Derby were deliberate. "I'd rather win ugly... than lose pretty". Those of us who said that was the case are not idiots after all! Personally I think it is refreshing to have a manager who tailors our play according to the opposition. It's arguable...

    I actually like Jay. He’s like a lazy street sweeper who’s been allowed to slack off for years by a poor boss and a complicit colleague. Still got something in the tank.

    My point was not to defend Sheehan’s tactics against Derby, but simply to argue that maybe there was method behind the boring madness.
