If you want to think it is all over then that is your choice, me personally I would like to think we have a chance still. With us still to play the teams around us it is still in our own hands.

Murphy-?-Spectator Christie-6 Keogh-8 Cranie-7 Clarke-7 Baker-4 Norwood-7 Deegan-6 Sheff-6 Platt-8 Nimely-8

Never seen the vials some players are taking during game, is this a recent development as they seem to be working with 2 90 minute goals in the past few weeks? Could have done with them a few times this season when we have conceded late goals.

We do have a realistic chance of staying up but need 1/2 away wins before the end of the season

Didn't go Forest match but Baker was the worse player on the pitch today imo.

The problem with 4-3-3/4-5-1 is Platt is most likely to be the central striker which then forces Nimely out wide where he is less effective like the Ipswich at home game where he played on the wing and was probably his worst performance for us that game.

I agree, I thought he was dreadful but I still give him a polite applause when he came off.

So Thorn was right to leave Mcdonald on the bench today, Nimely is our best player and Clive scored the goal so justified in leaving them on the pitch. Only other option was to go with 3 ST but then we may have lost.

With Bristol losing today they have been dragged write into it again after it looked like they had started to pull away. Still enough games against the teams around us to stay up but we will need some away points. If Bristol beat us at Ashton Gate you fear it would be over.

Was awful, Bell offered much more when he came on. At least Bell can put a decent cross on a more regular basis than Baker.

Yep, worse team to play at the Ricoh all season excluding ourselves of course. :p

Didn't Fisher say Hoffman was struggling to find investment due to the threat of relegation now? :thinking about:

Ahh good to see our fans are not putting pressure on a player who has been injured for months to keep us in the league. This was the exact attitude fans had in the summer an the reason he came in for stick when he couldn't match the expectations. I can see this going the same way. To me if he...

I would have throught Pompey would be losing more than that tbh, they attract slightly better attendances than us and there wage bill is probably 6 x bigger than ours.

The club can still be looking for loans, without being hopeful of bringing someone in. The statements don't have to be considered contradictory, I agree with what an earlier poster wrote. We are still looking but with our wage budget it is highly unlikely we will bring someone in of sufficient...

I have already said can't credit Thorn with finding Gardner, I have already said why I think Nimely was good scouting. Same applies for Norwood really. You write it like fact as if Nimely and Norwood have been forced on Thorn by the parent club. In reality Thorn had probably identified these...

Nah you are so wrong, people can't pull good players out of their arse. Wonder how many Cody Mcdonalds it took till Norwich till they found Grant Holt? Your assessment of how good a scout is about how many good buys they pull from non league/abroad, this a narrow minded approach.

1) Why are you ignoring the facts? Thorn has stated he has rejected 2 strikers coming in on loan for one reason or another. 2) People use him as an example as Thorn had him identified when he was an unknown, Newcastle were prepared to let him go for 1 million, the fact they were willing to sell...

People talk about him like he is Maicon sometimes, I think he has raw talent but not ready for championship football.

I agree, I am not trying to say he is best either it is just everytime his scouting gets questioned I hear he scouted the current squad which isn't a fair measurement of his scouting abilities. A better reflection on his scouting abilities would be a squad of all players scouted by Thorn...
