People who are stating that Andy Thorn should be sacked now are speaking with the bitterness of defeat hanging over them. 10 managers in 10 years is a negative, let's not contribute to that at this stage. This season may have highlighted some tactical errors, but it would have been incredibly...

He is 18 years of age and firmly believes in God. I don't think a critique of his performance will see him go to pieces. If he does so next time we see him, you may have a point. If he plays well and tries to prove a point to the manager and cement his place, you may not. Thorn has alluded to...

Especially as your name isn't even Nick. I'm insulting you by not reading shit properly. And neglecting the 'edit post' button.

Then's fighting words, Nick. Outside, now.

If they have got the Gunnar we saw in the first season, they have got a top quality player. We didn't see the same player in the last two seasons, more's the pity. I was disappointed he left, not devastated. King was the one to keep, Westwood would have been an absolute treat, Gunnar would have...

I think Murphy on a free was a good bit of business and, considering our financial status, I was pleased he chose us. He is a good Championship 'keeper. Westwood was an excellent Championship 'keeper. Murphy is not Westwood, but those who have singled him out as a weak link are typical of...

Given the fact there is so much of the season left to be played, the fact that Thorn is both castigating him for stating he has pretty much refused to get match fit but also stated that he is available for transfer, the fact his contract is up at the end of the season, I think this move is for...

I read this thread without having known anything about the Telegraph article and the current state of play with Freddy. I'll bite my tongue until furnished with the full story next time, although I blame a slow internet connection and brain at work. I've read the article and am no longer...

I agree... I said he gets cut more slack than most, not that he gets more stick. We have seen that he can be a half decent footballer, which means a slight tendency to go missing is somewhat overstated, in my opinion.

OSB, I find myself always agreeing with you. Indeed, I signed up here from 606 largely due to the good sense you talk. And I understand your frustration with Freddy. But... I generally object. He does get cut more slack than most here, as he did by the fans at Wolves. His scoring record isn't...

AT meant that he didn't have money to criticise the referee, so he was going to bite his tongue. It is well established we are skint, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment not a subtle indication Thorny is desperately unhappy with his lot.

Coventry Ladies play at Bedworth United's ground. Their coach was on CWR before a recent game.

Indeed, apparently Christie has already been told he has been watched by a couple of scouts from Premiership and Championship clubs. My mate told him that it would be in his best interests to spend a couple of years at the City, learning his trade and improving. Apparently he's a good lad, level...

'Some mates were telling me on saturday that when he was at The woodlands school, he played centre forward till up to about a year or two ago!' I don't think that is quite right. He was playing centre back for Woodlands and centre midfield for Coventry's academy (I think) and it was my mate...

We didn't buy Platt for his aerial presence. I see him playing in the number 10 role as the link man between midfield and attack when his pace starts to go, threading slide rule passes, testing the 'keeper with lobs from the edge of the area, etc...

I thought he might have won a couple by default after missing the first three, but bow to your memory. I have a little time for Platt, mainly because he cost £25k rising to £50k on appearances and goals and the fact he is a journeyman playing at his highest level for his biggest club. Everytime...

Probably true, but we ebbed and flowed at different phases during the match. I don't get on Platt's back... when he is not playing well, he stands out as a bad player because he has so little in his locker when flick ons don't come off. I thought he did fairly well today (someone else on here...

'When will that excuse stop-when he's gone 5 games without a goal, maybe 10? Will he be fit enough then to be classed as rubbish?' Yes. Two more games and we can all stand united and say 'Cody McDonald is RUBBISH'. No overreaction or hyperbole. No rashly formed opinions to be had here. We may...

I never dressed what I said up as facts per se, someone called him a billy bullshitter and I was trying to point out his CV would seem to suggest otherwise. You concede I got his roles right, even if you consider that I am incorrect as to his level of success at each! I've got plenty of time for...

There is nothing wrong with the chips in Gabriels! I'd say they are generally better than Frydays on Fletchamstead Highway or the Torrington Avenue Fish Bar. Fishy Moores was well worth a visit as a kid; I agree with the earlier person who said many of these places are now jack of all trades and...
