    Stop the Thorn bashing!!!!

    Wrexham 4- 1 cov Nuneaton 1 -0 cov Inverness 3 -1 cov Ross County 1 -0 Cov Anyone of those in isolation is acceptable but together demonstrate that there are problems, against mostly nonleague opposition we have scored twice in 4 games and tonight's team was virtually our first choice team...

    77% households have internet access

    hopefully AT can use the internet to research tactics, Bell to watch quality players and how they impact a game rather than a few stepovers and a 5 yard pass.

    starting lineup

    I think we have discounted Bill, Reece and Elliot - they may figure ahead of Wood and Baker and possibly Hussey.

    Jermaine Beckford

    I don't know if his high salary is based on his ability or his attitude, as he has plenty of both. Not a chance he would come here but ad addition that would guarantee promotion.

    So, what would be your XI for Yeovil?

    Murphy Clarke RB Wood CB Malaga CB Kilbane LB - IF Hussey is fit he will be played has superb stamina and more pace than Kilbane, who I think will play the deep holding midfield role Bell RM - won't be fit and if fit what makes you think that after 3 1/2 seasons of ineffectiveness, he will have...

    The Thorn issue.

    This is a football website. We have had one of the worst seasons in the clubs history, where ordinarily the manger would have been sacked. He wasn't he is still in post but if you think the debate goes away you are mistaken, he is the single most important person at the club and will have a...

    The Thorn issue.

    We are heading for dangerous water. Thorn was let down by the board as we had a clearly depleted squad and relegation was expected and AT & Co duly delivered this. Now having rebuilt this squad we are now hearing that as they are all freebies not sure of their quality thus affording AT more...

    Tonight at the ricoh

    1 Fairly poor game NZ play like a British team Belarus deserved to win a bit more comfortable on the ball. 2 14,000 there I think the hype over security put some off and the supposed traffic chaos which nver materialized. 3. A few belarus fans who were out sung by NZ "just a small town in...

    2 players for every position = a proper squad for L1

    Yes but there is one big problm with this squad, whicjh although it look good on paper a lot of the retained squad have such poor injury records GK: Murphy, Dunn RB: Christie (ok he's injured), Clarke - was also out injured most of last season CB x 2: Wood, Cameron, Malaga, William E Cameron...

    Does the loan of Callum mean the end for jeffers

    Maybe the management see it as his best position. I've heard he is quick and we lack so much pace. In the shambles at St Marys there were a lot of lads blooded for their first game he was older and more experienced than them but looked very poor with a heavy first touch not ideal for a winger...

    Conor Thomas

    Needs to show greater confidence and may flourish without having sideways sammy demanding the ball off him all the time.

    Does the loan of Callum mean the end for jeffers

    Jeffers has a year left on his contract and has yet to establish himself at Cov or any of the clubs he has been out on loan at. We have taken a lad 6 months younger than Jeffers. Jeffers is now behind cody, Ball & elliot in the pecking order. If another striker come, I think that is a no...

    Strikers

    Beavon has got 1 goal in 4 for wycombe and is nearly 28 and is another diddyman at %ft 7. Hardly prolific, small and unlikely to generate a significant transfer fee if ever sold on - and for that reson I am out. The squad rebuilding IMO has been good but strikers cost a premium, AT will find...

    Bit the bullet - Flexi Ticket

    I did not get an ST, had one since moved to the Ricoh, after last season didn't trust SISU. I'm getting the flexi, impressed with the signings seems like a genuine attempt to compete we should be a top 6 team. SISU aren't going anywhere, I love the club if I don't go will only end up following...

    Louis Garner

    Joel Garner was once approached by a totally besotted sloane at a social event in Taunton. ”Oh, Mr Garner’ she simpered, “how tall are you?” “I’m 6 foot 8” Joel replied. “Is everything else in proportion?” she enquired. “Oh no”, said Joel. ”if it was, I’d be 8 foot 6.”

    I was angry

    Angry at SISU for leaving us with a clearly underfunded squad Angry at AT for tactical ineptness failing to motivate the team for the big games last yr Forst Bristol Angry at players like Eastwood Clingan Bell also Sheffers Baker ROD but time can be a great healer. Putting together a reasonable...

    Minority

    When the managerial merry go round is in full swing, Thorn who is comparaatively poorly paid, with only a 12 month rolling contract ie no job security, he will attract no interest from Lge1 or Lge 2 clubs because he has had limited experience but with a win ratio that is shocking. The football...

    Big If but

    If Brian Howard signs and if some of the money from the Keogh sale is used to fund a striker (such as Emile Sinclair from P'Boro) and an up and coming centre-half We could get promoted. We will have a good mixture of youth and experience for this league.
