Sounds like he's certainly someone who wants to loyally stay with his employer until the end of the season.

It was talked about on the way home Saturday. I didn’t see it as I was to busy falling over seats getting out

Thought it was common knowledge they had a big disagreement Saturday , didn’t see it but I heard Molumby had to get between them

Hasnt that come from a account on twitter that is notoriousfor making stuff up?

What's this about a bust up with Johnston - must have missed that?

Agree with most of what you say, but the bit I've highlighted isn't accurate. Neither of them have been withdrawn this early in the last 3 matches, so I'm thinking that CC probably agrees with you. I understand though why he makes the changes, even if I don't necessarily agree. Fellows often looks knackered with about 20 minutes left (he does put in a good shift), so it seems reasonable to sub him off in these circumstances. Maja is really our only fit striker, so I also understand why he is a bit protective of him on occasions.

Agreed, and Maja looked absolutely done in when substituted in the last home game against Norwich.

Athletic saying he's now been granted permission to speak to Hull. Good manager.

His star is certainly on the rise. Deserves an opportunity at a higher level certainly

Hull after Ruben Selles from Reading. He is the one I would have earmarked if the board had decided to remove CC which, to be clear, I do not want.

He has done a fantastic job with Reading in difficult circumstances.

He didn't do too badly on Saturday but has been a disappointment overall so far.

Yes i would agree with this. I don't dislike him as much as some but i have found him underwhelming overall. Would not be sad to see him go.

Having had a bust up with Johnston CCs comments are preparing the ground for Dobbin to start on Sunday. In fairness he did more than OK first half running his oppo back on more than one occasion but seemed to get a bit lost when changed wings second half !

Sounds interesting, any more info please?

I think there is a middle ground on both.

Asking supporters what they expect?

Most supporters will have expected more than four goals at home this season (two of those in one game btw) and a bit more than bore draws against the likes of Plymouth, Cardiff, Millwall.

The financial parameters are no excuses for our performances at home and are reflective of their coaching (or over coaching) as some may call it. Our record for goals scored at home this season is the lowest in the football league.

I do also want to see the manager making the most of Maja and Fellows who between them have 10 goals and 8 assists. They are by far our most productive assets and I'm not sure management of them both is where I would expect it to be. The constant withdrawal after 65 minutes and as we seen on Saturday, Fellows being shunted to left wing back is affecting us going forwards.

Do I think he has done a great job given the on-going turmoil at the club? Yes, I do. He has worked wonders.

Do I want him sacked? No, I don't.

Do I think he is at times too conservative which hamstrings us? Yes, I think he is.

Our very conservative nature is a reflection of the head coach moreso than the pressures we're facing in the boardroom.
