    For those who suggest we are not playing more kids than anyone else i.e. Derby

    The stat I find quite interesting is, that if you reflect on our season, though we are playing a number of kids, the majority of mistakes that lead to goals against us appear to come from the senior players, Murphy, Clingan, Baker, Cranie, Keogh, Deegan, McSheffrey etc. The kids have been...

    Thorns replacement ..............

    But the sensible supporters on here aren't saying Carlsley and/or Rioch because they are the best option. We can all name all sorts of names and possibilities. The names of Carsley and Rioch come up because they are the realistic option and probably the only option.

    Not a good manager but that bloke doesn't half talk a lot of sense.

    Thorns replacement ..............

    The realistic option as has been stated dozens and dozens of times is Carsley and Rioch. Why do people keep saying no-one answers the question when quite clearly people keep answering the question? And sorry, but to say AT is overachieving is just plain ridiculous.

    Bring Lee Clark in now

    Not trying to compare at all MMM and I don't think for a single minute we could get him or he'd come here anyway and I am not advocating him to come here.. Just find it ironic that Coventry City fans can berate a manager who has a win ratio of 48.88%.

    Can be a thin line between success and failure.

    As I've said eleventy billion times, I was very much expecting a relegation battle, but no way on god's earth was I expecting bottom 3 since October and 7 points adrift at the bottom from Christmas to now. We have underachieved even by our own poor standards.

    Bring Lee Clark in now

    No, it's not, but it is within a whisker. I'm sure either play-off opportunity could have gone either way. Just finding it strange that we are moaning about a bloke who got a 48.88% win ratio and yet we dream of getting even a 22% win ratio at the moment.

    Bring Lee Clark in now

    You seem to be talking like getting to the play-offs two years run and going on an unbeaten for 43 games is a bad thing? Failed to get promoted? Yes. But anyone who watches football with any degree of knowledge knows that when it gets to the play-offs it can just come down to a bit of luck...

    Songs for Marlon King's return

    Be a lot not clapping him. Would hope that would be for his off field activities rather than the fact he left us to go to Brum though.

    But why are we strong at home but so piss poor away. Just doesn't add up. And you talk of easier games. Well there was nothing easier than Forest away on Saturday. They were on a terrible run and had scored just 1 goal in 8 games. Brighton away too were there for the taking after a terrible...

    A simply poll question re: Andy Thorn

    Unfortunately .... and it is unfortunately, I agree. We have to do whatever it takes to stay up, even if that just means only a honeymoon period of results to ensure our safety and nothing after.

    A simply poll question re: Andy Thorn

    Sort of agree. I have always held the opinion that it is always wrong for us to keep sacking managers ....... with the one caveat being that that goes out of the window if I beleive a manager is taking us down and a change could possibly prevent that.

    Umm...Remember sisu...

    If he keeps us up he will have done a good job. But, if we are good enough to stay up then we shouldn't have been in the bottom 3 since last October and 7 or 8 points adrift at the bottom since Christmas. If he keeps us up that points to him probably getting it wrong perviously but finally...

    There was a clamour from fans for Thorn. don't know why though. I certainly wasn't clamouring. I was very worried about his inexperience.

    Umm...Remember sisu...

    Totally agree. Bad ownership Novice manager most probably out of his depth. Let me pose a question to everyone. If you knew you were going to be in a relegation stuggle for the season would you then put a complete novice at the helm and expect him to be able to steer a team away from a...
