An outstanding performance and result against all the odds. The character and belief GC and his management team have instilled in the players of late is quite incredible. Enjoy the moment . Such periods of outstanding results are rare.

Don't agree that there is nothing to play for. A top half finish is a probablity if City can beat their hoodoo Cobblers .Last won there in September 2013. Prior to that it was October 1973 when Fred Binney scored in a 2-1 win. I remember it well , living in Northampton at the time. More of that...

Following the heavy handed debacle, in seeking to address a minor protest in The Stansfield during the Shrewsbury match on 28/11, this is pure genius. Skilful use of parody is renowned for imposing perspective and reasonableness. This picture also says SO much about the character of GC. My...

My impression, rightly or wrongly, is that Chieck always endeavours to give of his best.

Difficult season to sum up . GC now has the makings of a decent League 1 side particularly when Demi returns. Goals have clearly been a problem but they are for most sides. Think Sonny has the makings and really like his unselfish attitude. Alli could well prove to be a real find too. Need a...

As they say 'football is about opinions' . I did notice that Chieck came on as a sub last night at Orient in the 84th minute when we were 2-0 down and clearly contributed to an excellent draw ( accepting that the hosts were down to ten) .

Spot on. Like other posters I fear we might also lose Cheick. We need a capable squad. Too often , when injuries have loomed to key players, the team has struggled at this level. Does not augur well.

After four months, it was the TB meeting of 4/12/23 when legitimate concerns were first raised formally ,disappointingly it is considered that both the Trust and Club boards have yet to live up to the spirit of their very clear roles and responsibilities towards the owners of ECFC . The club...

Is it likely that, with six wins in twenty one home matches and a dearth of goals, season ticket sales for next season will rise?

At least being on loan ECFC can better assess the situation come May. At the moment it ain't looking promising.

You're absolutely right on 'poor finishing'. I was very optimistic on the loan signing of Mo Eisa but to date he's disappointed . Is this due to lack of fitness or something else?

To answer your question ..There ain't one! Don't take my word for it .....Rams supporters summed it up perfectly with their chant , ' IS THIS A LIBRARY' .

Shrewsbury and Cheltenham away together with Burton and Charlton at home will prove pivotal ? If the 'goal drought' applies in these four fixtures then start thinking about trips to Morecambe, Newport , Harrogate and Salford? If City do drop back then don't expect an easy ride judged from the...

Agreed that this is a very tricky situation. One that needs very careful thought. Until 'the dust clears' and the stark figures are to the fore no-one individual or organisation can really help ...save to raise short term funds to keep the playing side operational. As you rightly point up...
