I want to say Thank You to everyone for all your messages of support and generosity. It gives me and my family a huge amount of strength in a time of sadness for us. I will meet this challenge head on. Ultimately I can’t win but I will fight with everything. Hope is not lost.

Decided to look for some positives after tonight by looking at our record in 2026. League games - 37 Win % - 24 Goals scored - 33 Goals conceded - 52 I didn't find any. #cafc

Why is it so unfashionable to take the easy 3 points in Rugby now?

I understand the Nathan Jones chat, the patience is almost gone. You can suffer defensive football if you can pick up good wins every few games. I don't think we should be expecting too much more than that but the problem is we've lost any sort of identity. Realistically, we won't get the pick of managers with the level of squad we have and club we are. Rowett, Challinor is our market and I am Nathan Jones all day over that. #cafc

What has happened to Lloyd Jones? I love the guy but he has gone missing. Josh Edwards needs time but we can't afford to wait. Grant is just not impacting games. Coventry is at his absolute ceiling. The squad just isn't good enough to deliver any type of football to be honest. #cafc

What a game at Kingsholm tonight 😍 > George Barton is tough as nails and a class act. > Jac Morgan, is he human? > Defence was outstanding. > Mentality to overcome the cards and penalties was unreal. Well done everyone @gloucesterrugby - special night for a special player @LewisLudlow94 . #glawsfamily

It’s now over four years since Ed Slater was diagnosed with MND. Went round for a coffee and to watch him at work as a video analyst for Worcester Warriors, a role that’s given him invaluable purpose. Some man. thetimes.com/sport/rugby-uni…

So deflating watching that and seeing how far off we are from it. We're so scrappy and create about three chances, maximum, each game. If we don't take them we won't score and it's 80 minutes of watching us cover our arses. #cafc

If Bobby Madley had refereed this game then Van Bommel wouldn't have a yellow and Ajax would get a red for retaliation... #cafc
