Or scoring! :o

Is that necessary? He may not have had a great game, but to wish physical injury upon one of our own? Crazy. Don't forget he's a young lad being played out of position.

One of them is against a team in the division above... But, in keeping with the theme of positivity, we can look forward to trying to be the giant killers this year, not the slain! :) PUSB!

Woohoo! System restore seems to have solved the problem. Latest Windows update must have corrupted something. But it wants me to install the latest Windows updates again now...

Thanks for the suggestion. Windows recognises the modem though, so it makes the connection - but it claims not to recognise the Internet beyond the modem. It's a complete guess (based only on something similar happening to an old computer) but I'm worried the registry may have corrupted. I...

*Wayne's World style swirly imaginary dive into a possible future* 1SBTer: Carsley out! He has no experience, he was in charge when we were relegated to Blue Square North (or South). 2SBTer: Give him time, he had his hands tied by Sisu cutting costs after we were dumped into the conference for...

Can any computer whizzes out there help me? My laptop won't connect to the Internet. It says it can recognises the modem, but can't connect to the Internet beyond it. But... 1. My iPad, which I'm typing this on, is connecting to the Internet without a problem. 2. When I ping my router's ip...

Thanks for taking time to answer PWKH, despite being down a canal without a signal! Interesting speculation about suppliers too. I agree it would be stupid of them not to pay. Regardless of how this came about, this rumour serves the club with fair warning about what could potentially happen if...

This is getting very tiring. The OP opened up with some interesting observations, Nick broadened it a bit with his comment about shouting - but also pleaded for it not to descend into a Thorn In/Out debate. A few of us have tried to engage with topic, but it just gets drowned out by this...

Forlorn hope? :(

The SAF hairdryer point was more to illustrate that some managers do shout. I think a good manager should know their players well enough to know whether each individual will respond better to praise or criticism. I can't say if Thorn is right or wrong here because I don't know the whether the...

Someone on here said they hit each other's cars while parking!

First weekends often throw up some weird results, don't they? Sadly or gladly (depending on whether your team was on the good or bad end of the surprise) they don't always last.

Willie put it more succinctly while I slowly typed that out! Haha

Maybe the youngsters get things wrong more often (though I'm not saying shouting is the right or wrong way to correct it). I think it's quite a common football set up for managers to shout (think of Sir Alex Ferguson's "hairdryer") while one of the coaches plays the arm-round-the-shoulder...

Thanks for the Yeovil perspectives. It was good to read another point of view.

Thorn might think Malaga and Edge are not ready for competitive English football just yet. He said this after the Port Vale game: "We gave them a few chances because at times we dropped too deep. Reece Brown looked every inch the player we know he can be but Kevin Malaga and William Edjenguele...

At a guess, maybe Thorn felt Jennings was lacking a bit of match fitness. Hopefully by the end of next week he'll be in the starting XI. Thorn could have used Kilbane or Brown there though and put someone else in their spot. Maybe he thought the lad had done enough in training or pre-season to...

The squad size should make a difference, but probably not this early in the season. Come the Christmas period, when injuries and suspensions are taking their toll, that's when we should benefit against the clubs with smaller squads.

If he has pace he could be useful for giving us another attacking dimension. If he doesn't have pace, then...
