It's still too early to write him off, but I don't share any assumption that he'll come good either - I've been waiting for Eastwood to come good since he signed. I'd like to see him get a run of games in so we can actually see what Thorn's first-choice target can really do though.

Even though they look nothing alike, the elephant reminds me of the Thundercats symbol. I can't unsee that now, so I hope it's not part of a new badge. League One, give me shite beyond shite.

Get'im dadgad!

I wouldn't give that too much credibility really, angrier the fan the greater the exaggeration. Look at threads throughout here, for instance - depending on who you read and when, we veer between a capable team bemusingly lower than we should be, to the biggest disgrace seen in sky blue in 500...

Thorn pretending to be someone else, probably. He can bring a cheerleader who's in on it too.

This guy again?

He's a sinister version of Jeremy Clarkson.

It would have been big had we won purely because it was one of our best chances of finally winning away, but I don't see it as make or break particularly. Mainly because I think we're possibly beyond repair. Must plough on though.

I'm not sure it was as big as people make out. A win would have been huge, but as a defeat it ranks among all the rest.

Our defence, to be honest. The first goal was a shambles, allowing a chap in more or less the right-back position to waltz through. If your first name is Diego or Lionel then you can score from there, but not if you're a Championship winger.

Annoyingly, since my very first game we've been manna from heaven for underperforming teams and players. Any striker who couldn't score for toffee? Coventry will let you waltz through. I remember Milosevic filling his boots in particular amongst others. I bet Fernando Torres is praying that...

That and drowning in the bathtub.

That's the salvation to cling to. If we assume that away fixtures will give us nothing, we should hope for things elsewhere to go our way and that our recent decent (poetry) home form continues through to May. You never know.

Is it just me who thinks nothing's really changed that much? This time a week ago we were hopeless away and capable of defying opinion at home.

I thought Nimely looked relatively bright, although he does seem a cut above anyway so an average performance for him is still better than most.

Ah cheers, I think I've combined those two seasons to an extent. The original Fortress Ricoh days.

Did we have a recent season without an away win (albeit with a much better home record) also or am I remembering wrong? Around 2005ish?

I do like this thread title.

We need to fool our players into thinking they're playing at home in the remaining away games. Problem is that a lot of teams fill more than 40% of their ground so it's hard to duplicate.

Sarcasm, folks. Come on now.
