If you went today, you would've seen when we defended, we had Barton and Kilbane infront of their full back, a wide diamond, infact when they scored their second, Barton was infront of Brown, giving good cover. Also, a 4-4-2 with Baker and Macca covering the full backs!? They are 2 of the...

Of course, but people do use that argument a bit too cheaply, every team loses leads, don't get me wrong we dropped way too much,especially in the last 10, which raised concerns of fitness, but losing leads is part and parcel of football, it happens. ... I'm not saying it is acceptable...

We would've got relegated regardless of formation we played. Also, if Thorn is such a bad manager... Shouldn't a manager like Tisdale, Abbott... be able to pick up our current system and work wonders? I think a big problem, this season and the last with Thorn is some of his tatics are...

This season is a different story, last season he was in a win-win situation, I don't feel the need to explain why. This season however, it's HIS team, we SHOULD be pushing top 2 with our squad (imo), and to some extent, the board have 'backed' him, so this season is do or die, no excuses. Do...

Because there is 43 games left. Not defending Thorn here, just saying why people can defend him.

That's modern football for you! Sorry you're still stuck in thekick and rush days, where footballers were selected because of size, not ability (like they do in Rugby!).

I see your point, but Brown came in as a VERSATILE play ABLE to play ANYwhere across the back 4 and DM, so that excuse does not cut it. Period.

With 43 games left... Pretty sure Sheff Wed started poorly and they got promoted Also sure Reading were well adrift off the top in January. :whistle::sleep:

Tbf to him, none of the goals were his fault today, players weren't tired, just individual mistakes. He was somewhat at fault for what happened, after their equaliser. It is clear AT's aim is promotion, not to stay in L1.

Thorn won the FA cup Wimbledon, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that one of the true underdog stories in FA cup history? That commands respect and again, I stand to be corrected, but I'm fairly sure Shaw nor Carsley have won the FA cup? I think it's just Powell is a good manager which has...

The system was not at fault today, in fact, we haven't conceded a goal because of the system. The 1st was a penalty from a wild header from Malaga and Wood fouled his man. Up until the 2nd, we defended well with Barton and Kilbane defending wide, helping their fullback and then Brown was at...

If true; Greg Abbott or Tisdale should get the nod! At a push, Robinson from MK Dons would be wicked! :smile: Carsley would be an option but, we went the inexperienced road last time and it didn't go too well. As long as they keep the diamond, I'm not too fussed...

He has been poor, yes he is not at his favoured CB position BUT, when he came here, he was supposed to be versatile, able to play across the back 4 and DM, no problem. Also, it's not ATs fault Christie and Clarke are injured, otherwise they'd be playing! If you have been to the games, he was at...

I think that may be because of the language barrier (as far as I'm aware, he can't speak English), and because of that lack of communication is why he does some really dodgey passes, at least when he does them, at least they go out for throw-ins so we have a chance to reorganise... Otherwise...

So do the fans want the club to own the stadium, so we can make something from OUR stadium! You're not going to want to buy the ground at top rates, of course you want it at the lowest rates - business for you! Let's face it, there are NO good guys in this scenario, only bad guys...

For free. If you get a JSB memebership for £20, you can get an U7s ST for free n all.

With ACL's profits quite low (more than CCFC's!), are SiSU trying to get the rent as low as possible so the ACL lose out on profits so SiSU are in a better position to buy 1/2 of the stadium? Also, 50% is a lot, but, paying 650k is also a lot to be paying, as we're losing money even if we...

Grendal and co's argument: No teams need time to gel, their early form dictates the final finish. Reading got off to a great start last season... Weren't they something like 21pts off 1st in Jan? And they won the league. Man U most seasons where they're 7th in August and come back to...

Which isn't too far wide of the mark! When we lost; King, Westwood, Juke, Turner, Gunna and only replaced Westwood and Juke (with a 1 goal 1/2 season striker) and lads who are 1-3 yrs older than I, you know you're going to struggle! Oh but for your argument, it's all Thorn, nothing to do with...

I'm sorry, but there is a double standard here, if AB gets us relegated, you'd support him, AT on the otherhand, he clearly has your support... :whistle: Remember that Thorn rescued that season, we wouldn't have went down under AB but, we had restored dignity! Also, AB had a team twice...
