I am pretty sure the Sky Bues Trust had Adams as their first choice, but the Telegraph poll didn't. A very popular choice is not the same as first choice is it. All in the past now though anyway. I certainly didn't want Adams here ... or Coleman, or Reid, or Dowie or Boothroyd for that matter...

But then if AT proves himself to be a really poor manager we stick with him anyway then?

The poll in the CT most certainly did not have Adams as the first choice. I do remember the board telling us that Adams was the fans first choice however. I also recall having discussions on GMK with posters completely puzzled as to how the board were saying that Adams was first choice when he...

Ohh do you now. :o But the bad results such as Colchester are Eric Black's?

As has been said before, Thorn is doing the best he can do. It's just that his best is not enough for us though and to have any chance whatsoever of getting out of this mess we do need a better manager. Have always stuck by him and he's a decent bloke and all that, but now I am convinced he...

I remember being absolutely dumbfounded and there just being swathes of letters into the Telegraph talking about the madness of it all.

Still find it astonishing that people slate Eric Black. Yes he had some bad results, but the great results were really great and he was building something here. We played fast attacking football and really put teams to the sword. You think of the players he had to work with (McAllister's cast...

Or the same Eric Black that produced these results? 17/01/2004 15:00 A Walsall FC 6:1 21/02/2004 15:00 A Wimbledon FC 3:0 13/03/2004 15:00 H Burnley FC 4:0 17/03/2004 19:45 H Preston North End 4:1 10/04/2004 15:00 H Millwall FC 4:0 01/05/2004 15:00 A Gillingham FC 5:2 Scored...

Billy Davies? :facepalm::facepalm: Always bemoaned the fact he has needed more money after being given really healthy transfer budgets. :facepalm:

Also have to say that I think a lot of people are missing the point. Yes, we have had experienced managers here before and they have failed, but it has been a completely different remit. They have come in to try and push us into the top half of the table and beyond. The aim has been play-offs or...

Where on earth do you get that from? :o Adams, Dowie and Coleman were the fans choices? Adams was not the fans choice. The club told us he was the fans choice but that was simply not true. The CT had a poll and at the top of that poll by a clear margin was Gary Johnson as the fans choice. Adams...

Hurts me to say it, but Sisu out Thorn out unfortunately.

Thorn started off really well. Now he has really started to struggle. Dowie started off really well and then began to struggle. Like so Coleman and very much so, Boothroyd, who started off brilliantly and then really began to struggle. So in answer to your question, of course he could have...

Agreed. Think we do have them. Keogh, Deegan, McPake, Wood, Juke. Unfortunately like you say, McPake and Deegan seem forever injured.

Just think he has that fighting spirit for sure.

Yep, folk too.

There is and I think you have forgotten about him. Gary Deegan.

As well and pop, disco and hip-hop.

Keogh is the better shout. More consistent to boot.

I definitely think we lack a battling spirit and a bit of fight. When you haven't got the best team you can go a long way in being able to get yourself out of a mess and up further up the table by playing with a bit of passion and desire. We simply aren't doing this. Lots of teams have stayed...
