I'm with you on this. How it looked to me. I think we had width, I think Jennings always played a little back and baker seemed to have a free role, but wasn't the diamond as we know it. Let's not get caught up with labelling though. It clearly was fluid and seemed to work.

it also showed he can't have had that much of an impact and it might well have been us on a morale boost losing Thorn. Don't forget Brum are doing worse than us this season. He did sound very impressive and I hope he stays on as assistant, but after giving Thorn the reigns under similar...

Well actually as Chesterfield is the only other vacancy I'd hope we were

As good as Baker was ( And he was immense ), his distribution many times let him down so he cant be a 10. Just that final ball he needs to work on.

Yeah we need to ground ourselves a little and remember this. A managerial change nearly always brings around a lifting of players.

How much better does Shaw sound on the radio than Thorn. His enthusiasm is rather contagious.

Hmmm, its tough. This is how we started under Thorn though!!

we seemed to have plenty of width tonight though.

Were we? From what I could tell we were 4-4-2 but with Jennings as a holding midfielder further back.

Seriously? Wow!

Great all round performance, I think the only player that didn't impress tonight was Ball. But all the rest seemed great. I'd bin Ball off, send him back to Derby and get another target man in. Special mentions obviously to Baker and the Edge.

Yeah, as always.

There is always a team revival with a new manager

I'd blame Brown over Edge for that one.

Got them on the ropes at the mo. need to make it count.

As you were saying

This is what we've been doing wrong... scoring first!!

If AB had lost all his players we'd of been a lot worse off I think. Thorn kept us up after we sacked AB. People forget things easily in football.

When he first took over and that brief spell late last season before the collapse. We were spiralling under AB, terrible football and losing. The club was in a state of apathy.

I'd still have Thorn over AB.
