A well balanced post, spot on.

The real point is that nothing will be decided to day. Try and keep your hysteria within the orbit of the facts.

They played that game with a fair amount of confidence. Bigi was particularly impressive........the manner of the defeat was hard, particularly as we should have scored a second and perhaps a third......JUKE's performance was typical, full of endeavour but his finishing...

Nah, Just you ;)

Precisely.:claping hands:

Not sure about this but wasn't Christie's original position centre back?

The "totally and utterly hysterical brigade" won't let anyone forget but, given that three months ago we didn't have a prayer, I can rationalise that we have a rapidly improving manager. ;-)

Ahhhhh, so "totally and utterly" is the problem. Would that be Messrs Totally and Utterly from outraged in Cv6?

Cheers, Ginetta. In every single walk of life as long as you can learn from your experience you will get better. Football management is no different and of particular pertinence when handling a fledgling team.

But the "balanced view" has to be long term. It was the knee jerk fury of the anti AT group which was so utterly irrational AND particularly in light of the reality of his predicament. The hysteria exhibited by some of these posters was absurd as the recent upturn in form has demonstrated...

Haha, more than capable of dealing with the moronic negativity, after all, like Thorn, I've stuck to my guns.:wave:

More or less then you are agreeing that "you cannot learn without experience". The key thing is that he stuck around long enough for the benefits of his experience to kick in. This fact coupled with a bit of siege mentality is exactly why we are seeing an upturn in form. Thorn got the job...

Yes, of course, but to succeed he had to learn his trade. To do that he's required the experience. Morons expected him to be infallible because he had "manager" on his door. We all know this is his first managerial job ffs.....one he got purely through circumstances. I actually think he's...

........and Norwood and Nimely, where were they at Christmas?

IMHO you cannot have (particularly in a team game) one without the other. Stickability begets the quality thru experience - its been ever thus.

In light of the shit that some have spouted his stickability has been just that - fantastic.

Fantastic manager. How he's stuck at it, just amazing. Fair play to him.:claping hands::guitar2::claping hands:

Great win today......and under great pressure. Thank goodness AT has stuck with us and the players with him!

The "difference" between being a "prick an d a twat". May I make this suggestion: Whilst being anatomically male and female it is clear (at least to most of us) what the differences are. Biologically, in two people and in practice they should be uniquely compatible, however, in one person to be...

This AT debate has polarised views like no other. I have stuck with him. Even now, if it all goes wrong, I won't denigrate him. There's no point, it'll achieve nothing. He's always been our only hope to turn it around and so it is proving. :)
