    You expect fans to abuse the manager when we win? :facepalm::facepalm: Seriously? When a team win fans look to the positives. When they lose they try and analyse the defeat and see where it went wrong. That's normal isn't it? For all fans, in every sport! That has nothing to do with...

    Don't think many have small minds, MMM. Only a very small minority. Whos is saying every defeat is down to Thorn? Yesterday I blamed the players more so than Thorn, though I do think we set our stall out incorrectly from the off (keeping it tight and trying to command possession, rather than...

    Can't understand, why no offer of help from elsewhere ?

    Well, yes, if there is to be a change of ownership for sure, then I can see what you are saying. You know something we don't? Word going round now is that Hoffman is waiting for administration. Can't see why on earth Sisu would go into administration though.

    Rather OTT, MMM. Every time we lose is NOT down to Thorn. Everytime we win is NOT down to the opposition being poor. You think Middlesborough played well then? And Leeds? Leeds fans are saying that is their worst performance by a long chalk all season and Boro went down to 10 men for most of...

    Can't see any problem at all analysing what the manager is saying, Rich. I did it for Coleman and Boothroyd and Dowie and Adams and Reid and Black and McAllister and Nillson and Strachan and Atkinson and Butcher and Gould and Neill and Howe and McKay and Sillett and Milne and ..... You...

    Can't understand, why no offer of help from elsewhere ?

    No one with as much as an ounce of intelligence is going to have anything to do with this club while Sisu are in charge. Why would they? They are a hedge fund. Different people owning the club, then maybe. Pie in the sky idea with this lot in charge. Mind, I bet Sisu would totally love the...

    And you have to remember both Leeds and Middlesborough were very poor against us. Neither team played at all well on the day.

    Well maybe, but that doesn't just show that we are good enough does it, MMM? That just says we are doing slightly better..

    Posession?

    We are better without Clingan. Norwood's passing was just as good as Clingan's and he's quicker to boot.

    Last 20 minutes

    So we have ability, but only for 70 minutes and then we suddenly don't have ability for the final 20?

    Last 20 minutes

    Yet Thorn totally refutes that it has anything at all to do with fitness or tiredness. So what is it?

    Geoff Foster, Poor Interviewer....missed a Trick

    There is a way of saying things without saying things if you know what I mean. You can make your point with hints and without actual specifics.

    Andy Thorn

    Bit puzzled by this .... Coventry City manager Andy Thorn has said that he has seen signs of encouragement despite the club’s lowly position in the Championship table. Speaking to Sky Blue Player, Thorn said after the 2-0 defeat: "It is very close down there and we will be tested to our...

    Posession?

    Why ironic? It worked on Tuesday. I thought we were too predictable yesterday and lacked appetite. Thorn may well have said we 'went all out for the win' but it didn't come across that way at all. Seemed like we were quite happy to play for a draw and keep it tight. On Tuesday we really...

    As there are only Thorn threads on the go at the moment ....

    No, agree with that. We do dwell on the ball at times though when there's a chance of a shot.

    As our crossing was so bad abd usually is ....

    Just wondering why AT hasn't been on the look out for a winger/wide player rather than another striker? Don't get me wrong, we do need another striker, but what point do strikers serve if you don't get the ball into them in dangerous positions? Seems he has always been focused on centre...

    As there are only Thorn threads on the go at the moment ....

    The crossing was embarrassing. We all know David Bell can cross a ball. Trouble is it's one good cross for every 5 poor ones. Norwood apparently has a good shot on him and so too Bigi by all accounts. We need to try something. Their keeper didn't have to make a save today.

    As there are only Thorn threads on the go at the moment ....

    I do recall some fans bemoaning the fact that we were unlucky against Reading as the Reading keeper had a really good game against us. Well that's his job. By the same token we don't say we are lucky when Murphy pulls off saves to keep us in the game.

    As there are only Thorn threads on the go at the moment ....

    We do have people in the team with a good shot on themfrom a reasonable distance. McSheffrey, Norwood, Bigi, Thomas, Baker, Nimely, Bell. Time to start taking pots hots and trying to hit teams from the off. We looked like we were just consolidating today and trying not to lose with the hope of...

    Why Thorn is a good manager - Reasons Listed

    But I see Carsley as a viable option. Not saying he would be any good or do any better, but he is an option.
