Unless of course we get Peter Reid back.

Well that's it. We know they are not a good bunch of players but it is still very clear that the manager is compounding our plight by adding his own mistakes to all the mistakes already in the pot

Well some may I suppose, but not me. I desperately want AT to be a success. Wish he didn't give us anything to critisise him about. I really do. Unfortunately there has been too much and we are only 19 games in.

Where am I contradicting myself? I am not contradicting myself at all. :facepalm: People would like to change the board, we can't. People would like to change the players, we can't do that either. People want to change the manager. This is something that can be done. Simple really. People do...

and how many points have we gained again? :facepalm:

Simply do not buy this one bit. Thorn is probably already responsible for more than 2 points lost and it's only 17 games in. You think he is only going to be responsible for a couple of points the entire season? :facepalm:

No, not at all. Think you are missing the point. I said the above but you are forgetting that I also said they are all culpable (board, manager, players). People want to change AT because he is making a number of mistakes and showing his inexperience.

But you know as well as me that the root causes are not going to be fixed! There is in fact only one change we can make.

Pretty sure it's impossible to do 90 mph in the gents. Simply no turning room.

We can't sack the owners. We can't sack the players. We can sack the manager. Also can we please put to bed this nonsense about AT being a scapegoat! Fans are blaming the board. Fans are blaming the players. Fans are also blaming the manager. All have a degree of culpability.

We have on many occasions. Last 2 or 3 games we have had Cranie, Keogh, Cameron and Wood. That's 4. Previous to that we had McPake available too for a few games.

Didn't say they wouldn't. Wasn't me advocating the wing back formation.

That is true. Many of our goals have come from crosses from the full back positions. We don't get enough crosses in though and with the diamond formation the full backs have to cover an awful lot of ground.

Which is ? Would guess that CUS Wyken not having worked with the players in training every day he won't have the answer. You would expect a manager to have though.

They bring someone in who instills a never say die attitude amongst the playing staff. They bring someone in who works on the shocking lack of movement in the team. They bring someone in who gets the team to play as a unit instead of under these tactics of massive gaps between the front two and...

How is that resting any case? Madness. So if we finish bottom 3 no matter how bad a manager Thorn proves to be and even if he shows himself to be totally clueless he won't be at fault because the team results match the same pattern as of other seasons? :(:facepalm:

What about the clear mistake against Blackpool? AT clealy said in his post match interview that Blackpool did a few things he wasn't expecting and said in particular that long raking ball over the back of the full backs. The Blackpool BBC commentator clear openly said to CWR pre game that...

It's a combination of both. The one thing we can change however is the manager.

Nowt like a bit of exaggeration is there!! :facepalm: Who on earth has said we would be sailing up the table? This season is going to be difficult whoever is in charge. Don't think anyone would disagree with that. AT is not a scapegoat. people have supported him and backed him. As he has made...

But if Clingan makes a misplaced pass you can drop him for the next game. Most certainly you would if he'd made a few errors wouldn't you. We cannot afford for the manager to make a number of mistakes on top of all the individual errors.
