Perhaps I'm just a :jerkit: all the time?!?!

Agree, not sure I'd put him straight in against one of the favorites.

His best goalscoring season's for us were when he was on the wing - which prompted Brum to buy him.

Not at all. All managers want more players (too manay players!) it's money that stops it. Being confident (or at least saying it) doesn't mean the additions to the squad won't make it better.

....to you.

No, because it's bigging up your players. Usually wanting 2 more would mean your not that confident in the squad.

I never said it was important, just that it was starting to grate.

Wow, using the top managers with buckets of money to spend and clubs to attract players too against managers who contstantly out perform their budget's.........

He doesn't speak using cliche's - he states the obvious. Saying ''Off the pitch what will be will be – if we get new players we do, if we don’t then I’ll go with what I’ve got.'' Not difficult to say something like '' we would like one or 2 more new faces but if not I'm confident with the group...

Oldskyblue - Mourhino is well know for a direct style of play. Also, I wanted Thorn in charge, he proved in his spell last season he was the right man for the job and deserved the chance. However, I'm fully aware that he's never managed before (prior to his spell last season) and the upturn in...

Just pointing out Boothroyd was hated, so don't think Thorn can be judged (good or bad!) for picking the players up.

Is McPake fully fit? Just because he played with the kids against Spinx the other day - I assumed he was a little behind in training/fitness?!?! Saying that, after the sounbites from Thorn this pre-season it sounds to me like it'll be Keogh and Cranie in the middle.

Did you even read the rest of that post? I said don't judge him yet - good or bad. And style of football has nothing, nothing to do with motivating players. In fact managers who are known to get the best out of their players usually play hoofball - Pulis, Allardyce etc.

Hahaha, he's hardly going to say they're shite before the season's kicked off!

No need for that on here you pervert!

Knowing our luck and his injury record he won't even manage 20 games.

Only 5 on the bench this season!

''To win this game you need to win this game, if you don't you won't win it....'' We only have 7 games to judge him on so don't judge him to be shit OR to be great just yet. Apparently the players hated Hoothroyd so it wasn't going to take any great shakes to pick the players up after he left.

Doesn't really bode well for if/when he needs to inspire the troops though, does it?

To be fair he hasn't really been given a chance, but for Hoothroyd not to have given him a go after signing him and seeing him in training everyday when the team was in desparate need for pace last season is disconcerting. Thorn also didn't give him a go last season over Juke, Freddie, Platt or...
