Very good post and well reasoned.

Thorn obviously thinks this the way to play. I, myself would like to see us play at a higher tempo as I feel it's all a bit slow and ponderous. This doesn't mean you need quicker players either, just up the tempo when we are in possession. Though the diamond is okay I think we are too...

And I am not having a go at all here or trying to get into an argument with pro-Thorn supporters. Just want to see why people who support AT think what they think. Just thought that this question is very relevant to people's stance. My question here is a straight forward one. Putting aside...

Agree. And can I add that I have never called for Thorn to be sacked. I have said that I would like to see help brought in to give him a hand and that I don't want to see him lose his job. How the fook is that hounding? :facepalm:

Gaz you agreed with me that the tactics worked against West Ham. Think the penny is not dropping with you, Gaz. There is a lack of quality. How can anyone say that we are putting out the best effort we can out on that pitch though? West Ham proved we could do it, work hard and give it our best...

Agree. Totally agree. That proved that we can do it. Why just the one game though? :( If we applied ourselves like that every week we would have more points. I am totally convinced of that. In fact I would say that playing this way is our only hope.

There is a lack of quality. For the last bleedin time no-one is disagreeing with you. :facepalm: If we played say Accrington or Hereford in the cup how would they set out their stall? To try and compete on an equal footing or get in our faces and disrupt our game? This is exactly the stance...

Why? Too many times this season we haven't shown the required spirit. That is not ridiculous. The West Ham game proved that we can play that way. Why on earth is that ridiculous. The tactics are wrong.

Feel I am banging my head against the wall here. There is a lack of investment, we are players short, this squad isn't strong enough, we have sold some of our best players ..... I say again, what the hell has that got to do with getting a team to play with a bit of fight? We did it against...

Both of course. Why does it have to be one or other? :(

Don't worry when the team start to slide out of the league though without even putting up a fight.

Lack of effort is down to the manager surely? If players don't put the effort in then you drop them and pick players who do put the effort in. And we did put the effort in against West Ham, so we can clearly do so when we want to. Against West Ham we were at their throats, closing down space...

Well if we're all happy we should just carry on the way we are and we will indeed be all but relegated within about 5 games. By then we will probably be about 12-14 points behind. Think a lot of us feared relegation. No-one expected us to be so far adrift by the end of November.

On paper, yes, another good chance to take the 3 points with all Portsmouth's gloom and doom. Shame the game is not played on paper isn't it. And besides, Portsmouth must be looking at this game and thinking this is an excellent chance to get the 3 points against a team with a terrible away...

Accept all of that. All of it! No-one is arguing with that all. Don't see anyone arguing with that. That has nothing to do with the fact that the performances have been poor though. Not talking about quality here, talking about effort. How many game this season can you hand on heart say we...

Why? City fans have consistently critisised Sisu. Constant. Constantly critisised players who have seemed disinterested or have underperformed. Constant. They have backed Thorn but we are now 7 poinst adrift from safety, in the bottom 2 and have won just 2 games in 19 matches. The critisism of...

Think you'll find, Torchomatic that fans are critisising Sisu, the manager and Bell, McShuffty etc. They are not fluctuating between who they feel is "flavour of the month" in the critisism stakes.

If you close down, chase and harry you always have a chance. This is how lower league teams create cup upsets against higher league opposition. This is how they beat higher league placed opposition teams. They cannot compete on an equal footing because they know the higher league club have...

Any manager who loses three of his best players AND has bugger all investment back in the team is going to be up against it. And obviously cannot get his players to close down and harry and chase? :facepalm: Obviously losing those three players have left the rest of the squad unable to do the...
