Well agree, just think that as we have no money it would have to be Carsley. Only other thing I think they could do is to bring the likes of Bobby Gould and John Sillett to come in help out in whatever way they can.

Said before, I would promote Carsley. Get him working alongside Thorn. The bloke needs all the help he can get.

Well, as daft as it sounds, we could really do with that honeymoon period right now. Even if it is just for 5 or 6 games. :(

No, it is. I have always backed the bloke and I want him to do well. I have also always been for stability and not the merry-go-round of constantly changing. I think a manager needs time to build. Observing though I have very, very serious doubts about AT's ability and he's made some dreadful...

Errrr.... neither was Andy Thorn. The point was he was saying we couldn't afford anyone. We couldn't afford anyone before, so we promoted Thorn. We can't afford anyone now so can promote Carsley. Think you are just being too literal and you know you are. ;)

Yep. AT keeps talking about us not getting trounced. A lot of this is down to the fact that we retain the ball for long periods with our possession football. It's not hurting anyone though. If we change to a more attacking formation and do end up losing a few games by 3 or 4 goals we can...

Sorry, totally disagree, Astute and have to say what you are saying in response is totally irrelevant to my point. The lad said "BUT there ain't many managers we can afford" and you 'corrected' it and said "BUT there aint ANY managers we can afford." And I said we can afford Carsley. You have...

Before I start can I say that this is not an anti Thorn thread as such. I alluded to this in another post yesterday. The fact is that I think we are focusing on the wrong end of the pitch. It is all about defensive mistakes and I think we are missing the point. Mistakes are going to happen...

We can afford Carsley though so what you are saying is not entirely right is it.

Don't get this "attractive football" either. How many good games of football have there been at the Ricoh this season? Games in which we played well. And don't just give out the old chestnut of us being beaten in most games so we can't play as well as excpected, because against West Ham I...

Not having a go here, but on what authority do you say he will improve with experience? What if he proves himself to be a poor manager. We had the honeymoon period and he has shown nothing since to show he has what it takes. He could improve with experience, he could prove to be a complete...

Do think we will be the quickest relegation ever in the Championship for sure. Is this team really that bad? Weak, yes. Not big enough squad, yes. inexperienced, yes, but we do have some good players here. Believed we would probably get relegated but thought it would not be confirmed...

Excellent argument, well put:D

We have to try something. To give up now without a fight would be a disgrace. Word is that today only about 4 players were playing for the shirt. That is not acceptable and is just a real smack in the face for the Sky Blue faithful who make these sorts of trips. The other side of continuing on...

It would be Carsley. Convinced of it. They gave Thorn a go because he was a cheap option and no compo involved etc. and it will be the same with Lee Carsley.

He says he does though. i'm sure Gregg Abbott would say he was a lifelong fan too. ;)

He doesn't like Cov City either.

You expected this though? Bottom and 7 points adrift at the beginning of December. :facepalm:

Would second that. Used to go to school with him and lived in the same street.

I sat there mildly disappointed listening to the radio. Guess if someone keeps injecting you with drugs every week you get numb to the pain.
