Are you having a bit of a hissy Nick?

Thorn wasn't the worst manager because he never claimed to be a manager and didn't want the post. He was talked into it. He was the worst appointment though....but who was responsible for that?

We knew it would be a tough game, most fans predicted we would lose. We imploded a bit after the sending off, but there were some positives early on. There are signs we are building a team. They need time to gel. The season is a long distance race not a Sprint. It is how you finish not how...

Wow, a pretty in depth analysis over a period of time. In England we have expert fans who can watch a young player in one match and say: "They are shit." Coventry City are fortunate enough to have a number of these experts.

Mowbray has had a good look at both. If he ain't convinced I am happy. I think we have one or two of our own who are capable of game time here and there. I don't want signings for the sake of it. I would rather save a bit of budget and not be forced to sell a body in January.

Yes but we are in League 1. So if they are any good with any chance of making it we should be able to blood them at this level. It would be much harder to expect them to step up if we were in the Premier League or Championship. Your youth has to be part of your squad at this level. This is...

Numbers mean nothing. They don't pick who plays.

I assume it was said in jest? He was rubbish until Pressley said his football career was on the line. Then promptly scored 3 goals. Has done nothing since. No fight, no desire, couldn't punch a hole in a wet paper bag let alone a defence.

I remember arriving back at Birmingham Airport to the news we had signed him. What a joy! Of course me and the wife saw his debut....fantastic display. Always rated him as a footballer and felt Liverpool gave up on him too soon.

Bradford always a tough away game....you would probably fancy them to win this. I always think a draw away is a good result, at Bradford it would be excellent. They will test our defensive capabilities.

So signed for Sheffield United?

Are they still in the EFL cup thingy? I know Crewe are! We have scored 3 in all matches including cup and conceded 3. Sheffield United has scored 2 conceded 7.

Yes he looks good but has no league experience, so we have to give him time.. it might not be an instant happy marriage. Thierry Henry at Arsenal took some time to find the net but was a brilliant signing. Just saying don't expect too much too soon.

So we are both potentially still at the races? Are we going to get promoted like Wigan, I doubt it. But that doesn't mean we can't make progress on last season. It depends on whether people focus on expectation or reality.

We do seem to have a good crop coming through. But us fans need to look after them. Support them, enjoy them, don't hype them and don't expect too much too soon. Fans can keep players at clubs.

To the moaners who moaned about not signing Leon Clarke, to the moaners who moaned about the loss of John Fleck; have Sheffield United started any better than us?

Seems like a good acquisition, but he is still an untried youngster. No guarantee he will be another Adam Armstrong. It might take a while for him to settle and get goals. Goals are a team responsibility. First you have to make the chances. Our team needs support and patience. We will do...

Looks to have some potential. I would still like the Fin and the Hitchin lad to be signed.

Some would say another potential target TM has missed out on.
