AT is saying we haven't been trounced by anyone yet (would beg to differ in terms of Ipswich), but the obvious reason for this is that we have the ball half the time and therefore the opposition can't score. Doesn't do us any good whatsoever though cos when we've got it we do fook all with it.

Or indeed the ones that group themselves in Diamond Formation.

Wrapping mine up in Baco-foil.

Did think we were going to beat Brighton. Thought it was the perfect time to play them. :facepalm: This is also probably the perfect time to play Portsmouth. Let's hope we put a bit more effort than we did last week.

"The Sky Blues have been praised in sections of football for playing the game 'the right way' but have been unlucky recently regarding results." I'm sure we're getting lots of praise for the way we play from sections in football. Their football teams keep taking points off us."

Can understand that stance. Not convinced they won't though. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they sacked AT and moved Carsley up to the helm.

Hallelujah!! Same hymn sheet. This was the conversation I was trying to have today but it fell on deaf ears. Indeed you do not need quality to chase and harry the opposition. That was my very point. People keep banging on about lack of quality and I was talking about basic football traits...

I'm more off than on.

No, I'm pretty sure that because he's a nice guy and doing the best that he can possibly do you are not allowed to critisise him. It's a law.

Not unless he promotes Carsely into an assistant managing sort of role. Any help is only going to come from within I think. Unless they get someone like Sillet or Gould to try and assist in some way.

It would certainly help for sure. We do have pace in the squad, just not enough of it. Would say Christie and Hussey are pretty quick, Bigi and Thomas too and McDonald is known for his pace. Pity we haven't had chance to see it yet. Haven't seen Gardner yet so cannot comment.

We upped the tempo against West Ham and it was our best performance of the season.

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.
