Thorn came to the club in June 2007. Here's an excerpt from an article posted on the CCFC website where it states it. "Currently in his fifth season as a full-time scout for West Bromwich Albion, Thorn came to Coventry in June 2007 as a scout appointed by Ray Ranson."...

Marosi - 6. Made a couple of good saves but I felt his kicking was off at times today. Dabo - 6. Tried to get forward but often found himself smothered by a Barnsley shirt as soon as he attempted to make a run. Made one half decent cross. Given he's still in the process of coming back to full...

I think the lack of accuracy was in part due to the aforementioned lack of movement as well as the lack of bodies in the box. So, claiming it tells the full story, in my opinion, is harsh. Admittedly, not all crosses were good, but enough were at the very least directed into the right area...

I think we're probably going to have to agree to disagree. His movement was non-existant, when on the ball he was far too slow which led him to give it away quickly on a number of occasions, and his touch was off. Blaming it on lack of service just isn't correct in my view. Giles put in several...

I agree. Their finishing in particular is going to let them down this season and result in a lot of dropped points.

Nothing is coming off for Godden today. I don't like saying this often but he's been dreadful.

Agreed. Playing to the whistle is probably the most basic rule to follow.

Will play to our advantage if Barnsley keep on conceding corners. I feel we've got more of a chance of scoring from a set piece rather than from open play.

We won't if they continue aiming their shots at row Z.

It's of no surprise that Barnsley's goalscoring record was the second worst in the league last season. Their finishing is very poor.

We should've had someone on the back post really. Godden's flick on was there for the taking.

A shot isn't on target if it hits the bar, I don't think...

You've touched on an excellent point which I noticed a couple of times in the first half. Some of the passes he played were almost too intelligent.

Possibly. Whatever it is he certainly doesn't look like his usual self.

Godden is, but he keeps on getting caught behind their 6"4 defenders. He needs to start making diagonal runs across the box towards the near post and try to get in front of them, otherwise they're going to continue to sweep up. His movement today isn't as good as it usually is.

Have to admit Barnsley's press is pretty impressive. They're so awkward to play against. Thankfully I can see them struggling to keep it up in the second half.

Godden probably should've gone for the shot there.

Looks neat on the ball but Sheaf is playing too many sloppy passes.

Makes such a difference having a player who's excellent in dead ball situations. Something that we've been missing for years. Hamer is a real find.

Partly true, but I don't think that was the overarching problem in my opinion. Personally, I think that one of the reasons that resulted in key players repeatedly leaving on a free could've been down to the constant instability season after season at both boardroom and managerial level. I...
