we defend far too deep, which gives us less space to play in, which puts pressure on our passing game at a time when legs and minds are tiredest. Trouble is we set up to play in our half then break forward, basically surrendering a huge chunk of the pitch to the opposition. Saw Swansea being...

Just a couple of things SISU fund the deficit in cashflow not the losses (which includes things like depreciation where no cash changes hands) What about the money due from Scott Dann The profit made on a player will be declared in the financial year the sale takes place (our year end is...

totally agree with that. Was a bad day for the team all round - only one that came out with real credit was Platt imo I also dont think there is a strong enough leader on the pitch to get the defensive message across during the game. AT might be telling the players the right things but in the...

depends what your definition of good performance is. We play keep ball in our own half pretty well, looks nice and controlled but is clearly ineffective because it doesnt achieve the object of the game which is to score more goals than the opposition. Good performance includes defending well...

just a question or two not making a point - a lot is said about AT being a great scout, yes he has had some success but also some failures, my question is this. Is/was all the scouting done by AT or did he sign off on reports of a scouting team ? How does did it work ?

actually gaz i dont think the majority are saying AT is right for the club same as most are not saying he is wrong- most people havent expressed an opinion - I think they just accept AT is who we have got for now

According to AT our stats this season except for goal scoring indicate that we should be top 10. If thats the case the players are good enough in his eyes and the problem lies elsewhere. If thats the case, whilst every manager wants more players, he I assume is happy with the squad because it is...

surely that should make it clear :D - i think that you have grasped it ........ plus playing a deep 4 : 3 : 3 against a 4:5:1 its makes perfect sense - not! to be fair though AT didnt have many choices in players available and had to make do

All fair points - and leaving no outlet up the pitch makes no sense to me because we just surrender the ball and pitch. The biggest issue on the pitch for me though is the absolute lack of a leader. The team needs a strong experienced player to drag them through - Clingan most certainly is...

I am not at all sure that SISU are looking to leave in which case administration or even liquidation are not on the table. Cost savings, player sales are. League 1 almost certain. Also leaves SISU with no choice but to provide some cashflow funding in that case

Think we have to join the dots up properly. Yes he said they are continueing to put money in - but it isnt to the same extent as a year ago - cost savings have significantly reduced the cashflow requirement despite lower attendances. But in his piece TF says that the club do not get all transfer...

It is going to be extremely difficult to build any confidence in the players after the last two games. That more than anything will dictate the results we get

Murphy did not do a lot wrong and made some good saves, Clarke rusty and yet to find form, Wood inconsistent both were weak points in the team Craine and Keogh did ok but I wouldnt say it was their best games The midfield - well Clingan was possibly the best of a bad lot but that isnt praise...

Not a fan of Thorne but to be honest there was little he did wrong yesterday - it was more down to the players. If i were being picky I think he could have broken the Ipswich rythm by a third substitution but that almost certainly wouldnt have stopped the mistakes the players made. The team...

yes it highlights that players have left but not why only 4 of them currently play regularly (Turner, Gunnar, King, Juke) - plus one that warms the bench in the premiership Lets be honest the rest have either quit or would/did struggle to get in our team even now the reality - one i dont...

from the BBC website Andy Thorn's side are bidding for a 900th home league win, and a fourth in succession at the Ricoh. • Yet the Sky Blues are two points adrift at the foot of the table, seven points from safety, with just five wins from their 28 games. It is the worst equivalent return...

Where does Norwood play ? ..........Anywhere that AT puts him. Judging from where we played Gardner probably not in his preferred position

Point is making the substitutions earlier would have given the team more energy which would have allowed them to defend higher up the pitch and keep the pressure further away from our goal. From what I understand (based on Gallachers radio comments I didnt go) the front two had ran themselves...

I know it would have been good to keep those three players but in reality we would have had to match their salary packages and length of contract. Westwood is on something like £25K pw Gunnar probably £15K pw and King probably at least £15K pw - that is £2.86m each year on them alone without...

Just your opinion - doesnt make it right but you own it
