    We're screwed

    Don't see this bad luck thing. Against West Ham is the one time I've truly felt we were actually unlucky.

    Just wonder if this is the sort of player we should have been looking at

    I know he's non-league, but we have had no money and have looked odds on favourite to drop a division anyway. Name: Liam Hearn Nationality: English Date of Birth: 27/08/1985 Height: 5' 11" (180cm) Position: Striker The highly-rated striker signed for the Mariners on a 3-year deal...

    We're screwed

    Not if we play then all at the same time, no.

    Quite perverse

    Think the fear is though that our level could be several leagues below.

    But did Nilsson appear to need the help?

    Better thread for now, but what we need to know is if CCFC get their just desserts come the end of the season. :D

    I think this is the best scenario too. Whether Thorn is doing a good job or a bad one he is a novice and could do with help from a more experienced head.

    I believe the saying is when life gives you lemons you make lemonade. Or possibly a meringue pie?

    Is Andy Thorn the right man?????????????

    Not to take anything away from it, but I think anything was refreshing after the Boothroyd tenure wasn't it.

    Andy Turner...what does he know????

    Isn't the 35 mill to spend on the club once control was though rather than as forming some part of the bid amount. The 35 mill would be to put in the club, but they would buy the club for a quid as it's worth nowt!

    Not just subs though is it. I notice people don't seem to respond to any post re the Blackpool tactics. That was a total disgrace. Thorn obviously did not do his homework as he was completely unaware of a tactic that Blackpool had consistently used for game upon game upon game. That was a...

    Understand all of that Brinner as I am sure we all do. But on top of everything, on top of all that we have a manager making mistakes too.

    A most excellent post. Thorn did very well last year. That is now very much looking like it was a honeymoon period and we caught teams unaware. Teams are now very much aware of the way we play and they now have us sussed out. It's clearly not working. Our only hope now is that Gardner can be...

    I don't expect the same results. Don't think anyone expects the same results. Has anyone said that at all? I have never ever said I expected the same results. For the eleveny billioneth time.... 1. I expected a relegation battle 2. I said from day one the squad was too small. 3. I said we...

    I really don't think fans will be chanting 'Thorn out.' I am pretty certain they won't. The worse Thorn does as a manager and the worse the team plays, the bigger the chants of 'Sisu out' will become.

    "I was enjoying last season under Thorn more than any in my life of watching CCFC. It was fantastic, brilliant, exciting, and a full season like that would be a play off challenge at least. You know what happened next. This is why I defend Thorn. " This is the bit I don't get. So Thorn's...

    Good post. I don't want to see him sacked either. Case of needs must though I feel.

    Poyet did his homework.

    Thing is he has all the right attributes. Really struggle to think of any game he has totally controlled though. Never seems to have a complete game for us.

    Had no idea the tea lady chose formations and had control over substitutions and analysed opposition tactics. Surprised she has time to make tea.
