In an ideal world, I think I would like to see help brought in to give him a hand rather than see him sacked.

Honeymoon period! New manager, players playing with freedom, results improve. Happens all the time. New appointment, upturn in fortunes. Opposition teams now know how we play this season and have made adjustments and now we have become predictable and pretty clueless We have been totally...

What we need right now more than anything else is a side that is at least motivated enough to be able to go out and play with a bit of passion and chase and harry and compete. If we had the same mentality of a lower league side playing higher opposition in the cup then maybe we would have a few...

Our crosses are coming from deep, mainly from the fullbacks. Can excuse that though as we don't have any proper wingers. What I can't accept though is the manager not telling the midfield to push up when we are in possession. We had more bodies supporting the forwards then the likelihood is that...

Apparently though, as with GMK, if you're not for something you are against it. :facepalm: Why can't people critisise Thorn without people thinking you want the bloke sacked? :thinking about:

I find it bizarre that people have total faith in a bloke who is a scout and who was pretty much forced into the job. A really good manager could make a difference. Just don't think we can afford a really good manager though.

I think the tactics are awful too. Seems like we are all fooled by the pretty passing around in circles. Teams have now sussed us out and that is why we are now losing regularly.

He has my backing too. If he makes mistakes though I will critisise him for it, same as I would for any City player who has a dreadful game.

Exactly. And the massive gap between the forwards and the midfield must be a tactic and a crazy one at that. I am convinced that Thorn tells our midfield to sit deep. It's no wonder we are scoring at a rate of less than a goal a game.

First bit obviously the owners and board. The motivation of the players to at least put a bit of effort in and the selection of tactics that would enable us to compete? The coaching staff.

Well it's as plain as day to me that the squad isn't good enough and too small and there is too much reliance on the youth players, but also that the tactics are wrong too and the players are not motivated.

Disagree on this point. I think there are managers who could without any shadow of doubt do better than Thorn. It would still be a struggle and great achievement to keep us up, but I think Thorn is now contributing to our own downfall with poor decision making, a lack of motivational skills and...

Not well but still they gave 110%. Go figure! ;)

But yet it is supposed to be McDonald who is the goalscorer. Is there any possibility we can play Platt and McDonald up front and Juke at the tip of the diamond I wonder? Don't wish to see Juke dropped from the side but something needs to happen.

We will be bottom i think after the next two games. 2nd place West Ham and 4th place Cardiff. Think our record against Cardiff of late at the Ricoh is piss poor. 1-2 1-2 0-2 0-0 2-2 Doesn't bode well that does it.

If he was trying to stay positive he could have just said “First half we gifted them two goals. We showed great character and commitment to get back into the game though, which I was really pleased about. I can’t fault the players because they showed real character to come back into it but then...

If he was talking about the 2nd half then fair enough, but saying the team did well in the first half? That is crazy talk. We were bleedin dreadful and not only poor but the players didn't even seem up for it.

We are bland. Sums us up perfectly. We are like a boxer without a killer punch. All we do is spar nicely for 10 rounds and then get knocked out.

Especially if he comes out with bollocks like this. DEFENSIVE mistakes cost Coventry City against league leaders Southampton — but manager Andy Thorn could not fault his side for effort. Saints were deservedly two up at half-time thanks to goals from Richard Chaplow and Adam Lallana before...

He does seem a bit of a blame culture captain. He should lead from the front and by example instead of berating players all day.
