Get promoted the hard way!!

Just looking at the table and with the games coming up they have against play off chasers I think it's the lottery of the play offs for big DJ.

Good luck to them but let's watch and see if he has got the bottle this time round.

What's your thoughts?

He's no stranger to DJ. However I can see Hudders going up, and leave DJ red faced at Wembley, again...

I'd prefer Wednesday to go up though, especially if we dont go up as I liked it when they came to the CCS. They take a large following everywhere and make some real noise

I think Wednesday will struggle now - I think Sheffield United will get the auto place.

Up to Jones to prove the doubters (including myself) wrong then at Wembley.

they,ve dropped a few before but he has settled in well really.think people forget he took wolves up via p/o.from an outsiders view it was the right time for him to go but the profile of ccfc rose under dj.a fact that shouldn,t be ignored.

Sadly it does. People bang on about budget and money like he spent 100 million on new players.

Stark reality is he was forced to sell more than he spent and football inflation obviously meant he had higher wage budget than previous regimes but so did every other club in football.

Time for him to go yes, agreed, it was time for a change.

if/when you do go up people will have to see that although dj failed to do it he moved you to a position were it was possible.i don,t think the ego,s helped in the dressing room last year but some very talented players.the year before he was a whisker away from glory.when t,f was at blues he was a serial p/o failer but without him the club wouldn,t have been able to mount those challenges.that showed the potential of the club and attracted bruce and the rest was history.history will view dj in a better light one day

Well put and I also say the same about Ridsdale.

We wouldnt have the number of STs we do without him.

If it was not for Sam Hamman we would be having regular trips to Chasetown instead of the special events we have there.

Correct. Sam the biggest reason we are where we are as a club now and most recognise that sadly the haters like you wont give any credit to PR and DJ when they also played a significant part.

Well I wont go down the DJ road, I've made my feelings quite clear on that.

As for Ridsdale I do question his part. Unfortunately we will never know. Ridsdale basically claimed he saved the club from the tax man when he took over from Sam. Yet this is the same Ridsdale who nearly took us into liquidation even after taking 10,000 ST money which was promised for other things. Ridsdale was very quick to point the finger at the start but into his reign his transparency soon evaporated.

As I said I doubt we will ever know the true story now. Unlike Ridsdale our new owners to be dont tell schoolboy stories.

Free role behind the striker(s). Should have played Premier League mate. Had the talent but too laid back and didnt want it enough. Should never have ended up back in the Dungeon with us at the age of 26.

In his defence he is laid back as f**k as a person not just aa footballer so I suppose if its not in your make-up.
