    Fans Support of Andy Thorn: A sign of just how far we have fallen?

    I thought we would struggle at the start of the season. Wasn't counting on though that besides all the handicaps of the playing squad that we would also have a lack of fighting spirit, poor tactics and poor motivation. Hard enough as it is without these extra problems on top. :facepalm:

    Anyone shed any light here?

    Good to see Clarke-Harris getting a full half.

    Anyone shed any light here?

    Just found it! TRIALIST Marvin Hasselbaink was on target as Coventry City reserves drew with Hereford United 1-1 at the Ryton training ground. The Dutchman, who progressed through Ajax's youth academy, equalised in the 24th minute after the Bulls went in front in the 12th minute. Sky Blues...

    Eastwood... time to give him a second chance ?

    Wouldn't say it was pointless though as has been pointed out, these are desperate times. It's never going to happen I think while Thorn's here, but I can see why we would at least consider it.

    Whats' the buzz, Brinner, tell us whats' happening

    I wonder if this is why Sisu are so secretive. There's no Peking anymore.

    Fair point. Basically pretty much all of our crosses come from the full back positions, so they do indeed have a lot of ground to cover.

    Yes, true. I suppose that puts a different slant on it.

    Indeed. Proves that he does get himself in the right positions though doesn't it. Don't think he is a poor player, just at a club that creates very few chances.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JX6Np9CP7w&feature=related Just look how many goals McDonald scores in the penalty area and 6 yard box!! We simply don't get the ball into those areas. It's no wonder he is pretty much redundant.

    It appears that he is following orders. Don't buy this 'he isn't good enough' malarkey. He's only been here 5 minutes. On Saturday he wasn't bad, just anonymous. I would like to see Platt and McDonald being given a chance up front to be honest. The big forward and the nippy striker alongside.

    Yep. noticed that too. Keogh seems a more obvious choice for me. Ever present, pretty damn consistent.

    Who said it was great? It wasn't was it. Just saying the pair played much closer together. Would seem that this was Cody's natural instinct. Since then they have played much further apart. This points to tactics.

    I would also say that if there is no communication out there on the pitch we need to choose a different captain.

    I don't pay too much heed to these kind of percentages. Has no allowance for circumstances and players available to managers.

    That doesn't stand up to scrutiny though. That first game against Derby at home, Cody and Juke were playing quite close together and Juke was flicking the ball on but Cody wasn't reading it and at times was moving in the opposite direction. I put that down to him being new and not knowing the...

    Would agree with a lot of that. Our movement is shocking.
