The only person it would be would be Lee Carsley. I'm just wondering if Carsley can make the step up and work alongside Thorn to see if he can help him at all.

Two of my fave ever City performances. 5-4 against Norwich and 3-2 against West Ham. Happy days. The way things are these days I am not so sure we will ever score 5 again. Maybe even 3. :facepalm::(

These two things. The opposition have now sussed us out. We are incredibly predictable. We are also playing without passion and at a slow tempo and this makes it very easy for teams to counter against. They also know that under this deployed system we score at a rate of less than a goal a game...

Said it before, Hackers. If you weren't a Leshtur fan I think we would be best mates. :D

It was 2 legs. Which is one leg more than most of the players we have here this season.

Blatant mistakes. 1. Not getting the front two to play closer together. 2. Not getting the midfield to push up and support the attack. 3. Not leave a massive gap between the front two and the midfield. There's about 20 yards at the moment. 4. Then there is the subs. Against Burnley he failed...

What bizarre logic is that? Wasn't Dowie the right man for us when we got him? Wasn't Coleman? They must be the right men now too. :facepalm:

No-one said Thorn was a rubbish manager last season because he was new at the game and hadn't managed before and fans were happy to give him time. He also had that honeymoon period and with that came an upturn in our fortunes. Why on earth would anyone want him out when he had only just started...

You get a pretty good view anywhere in the Ricoh to be honest. Do you want the 3 points now or would you rather take the journey up and make a day of it all?

Well obviously no sane fan would blame the manager for any of the 4 goals. That's not what people are saying. They are not talking about individual players making mistakes, which Thorn obviously has no control over, they are talking about systems and formations and tactics. Two completely...

Sorry but that post doesn't make any sense. You want people to admit to wanting him out last season when we were doing well and everyone was happy and obviously as a result no-one wanted him out?

No Plan B because he may move players around but we still continue to play too deep and still continue to play with a big gap between the front two and the midfield and still continue to pas the ball predominately in our own half.

Been doing this all season at the Ricoh. Different schools each time. Guess it's a good way to disenfranchise new blood from ever coming up again.

Well for one thing, Wise wouldn't stand for the players coming back into the dressing room with them hardly breaking sweat.

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.
