    So Do All Teams Need Time to Gel?

    Of course they do. Some teams and players might do it quicker than others. Some teams never really do ( England, team GB) and others go on to perform so much better than the sum of their parts ( Swansea, Blackpool, Norwich perhaps ). It's up to Thorn and his staff to make it happen.

    Psychologically buried?

    Fans jumping on his back everytime he hopes his mouth?

    Will Saturday make your mind up one way or the other?

    Northampton somewhere. Nene or something

    "Gel"

    He's the only manager we've had since relegation ;) I think it's easy to attack the manager when we're losing. He's the obvious choice. My mate is a Man U fan and he questions some of Fergies decisions. But they usually win and all is forgotten. He does have obvious flaws, and yes I would be...

    Will Saturday make your mind up one way or the other?

    Probably not because I've got a white water rafting booked for 3pm till 5 so won't have a clue what's happening. Typical.

    "Gel"

    There isn't such thing as the 'pro Thorn lot'. That's just a phrase all the anti Thorn people are saying about the people who don't share their views. The non anti-Thorn fans are just normal fans who are waiting to judge him properly and fairly this season, and not knee jerking after last...

    "Gel"

    The players do need to get used to each other. They also need some confidence going forward and attacking with purpose. They should both come with time. After that there really is no excuse and nowhere to hide.

    Formation concerns

    Did i imagine it or did Thorn specifically say last season we wanted to play different formations this season?

    Feeling good.

    I was pissed off at lost points to Yeovil and kind of feel the same again about Sheff Utd. They are 4 lost points, no 2 ways about it. I don't know whether it is cobwebs, or lack of confidence and self belief following relegation, but we're not firing on all cylinders yet for the whole 90...

    ATTENDANCES - Reality Check

    they probably arn't paying out bucket loads of interest to their owners either.

    Diamonds are forever

    It's lack of confidence heightened by fear of failure. It's that lingering negativity and doubt from relegation. A few wins and we might forget all about it.... ( i hope )

    Diamonds are forever

    Barton I think would be ok, but Kilbane isn't. I'd have him left back and bring in a winger to play there personally. But hey ho.

    Diamonds are forever

    The diamond itself shouldn't be a problem. It should just be a 4-4-2 with 1 ball winner and a creative midfielder with one pushing up and 1 staying back. It would work much better like this: ..............................Jennings Barton..............................................Kilbane (...

    20,000 empty seats

    They include season tickets in attendance whether they go or not. We need to net more areas off though. Bunch people in together. Or maybe do like they did in Poland. Paint the seats diff colours do it looks like people on the crowd and not empty seats ;)

    Malaga

    I just hope we havt promised Man U we will play Brown most games as part of agreement.

    Formation concerns

    Which we've got apart from the wingers Perhaps Barton could occupy wide right, but he's not a pacy winger. Left sided McSheffrey is the closest we've got.

    Coventry v Sheffield UTD matchday thread.

    There are positive to come from tonight, but we need to start performing for 90 minutes. I can't remember the last time we dominated a team. We've dropped 4 points now, so we have to beat Bury.

    Coventry v Sheffield UTD matchday thread.

    So are we presuming Brown at right back then and not Malaga? Just a worry coming forward and the lack of width down the right. Or we could drop him in midfield and go 3-5-2 with him and Jennings holding.
