He is talking about a future game. He said 'I think we will win'. You need to put this statement about his 'tactics not being positive' in the future tense as opposed to the past tense, then it will look more objective and rather less like you may have tweaked things to fit a 'Thorn Out' agenda...

Jesus. We play a narrow midfield four, he played every game within that midfield four. I put it to most of you who are using this as ammunition to slate Thorn that you might not know as much about Gardner's best position as you claim and are basing the opinion on a YouTube clip of a brace for...

Managers have to say a lot. You can analyse the semantics of one line until the cows come home, but the bottom line is thus... If you are looking to add fuel to the 'Thorn should be sacked' fire, you will read it as foolhardy. If you see no reason to stoke this fire, you will read it as...

Yeah, not always true, though. Compare Swansea buying Danny Graham, Norwich buying Morison and Wigan sticking with Rodallega. You know someone will give the Westwood / Dann example to counter your argument. There are some hits and some misses, it's a moot point. The part of the sentence I would...

His hands are now waxed.

If he costs £100k and there is only Liverpool in for him, maybe we can still get him... Oh no, there are those two sticking points there. We spent more on Cody, he hasn't cut it yet, hindsight is a wonderful thing... I think Cody may come (relatively) good, given a run of games. Maybe even...

Without sky blue tinted specs, which three Championship teams have a worse squad than us? There are a few there or thereabouts, but are there three teams you can see which are worse than us (player for player, excluding reputation, fan base, etc.)? Are the points lost when we were in the lead...

This initial statement puzzles me. Not one person on here has said that our ratio has 'absolutely nothing to do with Thorn'. The discussion was not about Thorn at all; it was whether our squad, player for player, is where it deserves to be in the League. Is it so difficult to grasp that there...

Mourinho and AVB never played football, Wenger never played to a decent standard, Hiddink doesn't strike me as the fittest pair of clogs going. If I decide to get on AT's back at any stage (not there yet, I'm afraid), it will be down to his tactics not his waistband.

McPake isn't shit, he is just looking like David McNamee Mark 2. And I don't think it is down to his face not fitting, just his face not being seen on the training pitch nearly enough. Thorn would have scouted him and had some input on the 4 year contract he was recently given. When he was fit...

The 'Thorn out / Thorn to stay' threads have indeed grown increasingly tiring on this board. The same arguments are regurgitated on each. Here is mine... We are bottom of the League with a relatively poor squad, consisting of kids and underperforming players, with a tiny smattering of decent...

My understanding is that Christie was centre back at Woodlands and centre midfield at the academy and converted to right back by my mate who was his coach at school. Occasional mistakes are creeping in as he learns to play Championship football in his now naturalised position. I don't think...

I'm not necessarily Keys' biggest fan either, but liking the sound of your own voice is par for the course for many broadcasters (just about all I've heard at Talksport) and we know he is a Coventry fan and so probably has his heart in the right place. I think Gary probably think it adds a tiny...

Gary Hoffman is a mate of my Dad's... ... but I haven't heard anything. It seems like Dulieu is remaining at the Club, the takeover bid has had plenty of time to iron out sticking points and await the opportunity to push forward, but we are still in limbo. SISU remain in charge and will do so...

No one said we are certainly down if we change manager, skybluesteve76's comment was that we are certainly down if we don't change manager.

From an outsider looking in's perspective, I think there are reasons for optimism at the Stadium of Light. If we were a club of Sunderland's size or stature in their position, I would approve this change. They might well not know quite so much about Eric Black, hope he finds more success than...

You are optimistic to imagine SISU are going to 'try' to appease this number of Coventry fans by sacking Thorn and employing someone else. Unless there is an attachment of 'who' should be tried (someone who would ideally be free to employ and would take home something comparable to Thorn in...

And I'm told that Christie was a centre back at school and a midfielder in the academy. My mate converted him to right back for the first time at Woodlands. To be hones, I would be more inclined to give him a rest for a game or two if Clarke was back and champing at the bit (rather than...
