ive got contacts up the academy and the players love working with Carsley. Were top of the league despite not having Bigi, Thomas, Christie playing.
He gets the young players working and enjoying the game.
Our first team at the moment are not enjoying it and the manager has to take the flack for that.
Thorn is a scout, nothing more.

hear hear! At last someone on here with comon sense and a practicle view! Thorn is a man trying to do the best he can but let's not forget that he has experienced men around him who are very well respected within football! Carsley walked into a very well set up academy team and all of a sudden people are pilling plaudits upon him but what has he really done? We need to be realistic and remember that we will never attract high profile managers to our club because 1 SISU won't pay the wages! 2 SISU won't give them any money to spend and 3 who would want to take on a job where all the fans are going to do is slate and critisize him!
......Why not?

well I know someone who works at the academy as a coach and it is not carsley who is calling the shots there its rioch! I also know someone who is part of the first team set up and the players love thorn and have nothing but respect for him!
We're deep in trouble. We need experience. We can't give the job to someone so they can "have a crack at it". We haven't got the luxury of letting a potential new manager learn while doing the job. I'd rather have Boothroyd back!
i don't think we'd be in a better position with a different manager. but like you mumford, this is only my opinion.
that would be the way, replace one unproven manager who clearly has the worst job in football with another unproven manger who is doing well with our academy. Just how many managerial careers can CCFC destroy before people realise that the problem with the club is that we dont have a pot to piss in.
In my opinion Thorn is doing a very good job just to be keeping us competitive at the moment. It is going to get a hell of a lot worse before it gets any better.
they have no respect for him (Thorn) the drerssing room is split. its far from rosey in the first team.
Says......?
What do you want us to do then mumford? Do you want us to start chanting thorn out and bring some thorn out placards to the next game?
Cant disclose who from but a first team player
I think the our squad refelcts our league position currently.
Competitive????? 2 wins in 18, hardly competitive.
We have Academy kids who are being thrust into the first team because of the dire situation on the club. 2 wins in 18 isnt good reading in black and white, but what did you honestly expect given the level of backing he has received?. Yes we are competitive and the last 3 home games against 3 of the best sides in the league are anything to go by, we are not that far off.

Isn't the saying if you're good enough, you're old enough?If your old enough your good enough. These lads having been playing football since the age of 10.

There are plenty of people who would be old enough but not good enough.
If we sack him who do we appoint next?
Exactly my point given that the entire thread has been that thorn isnt the man for the job. I was saying that despite the fact he has had to throw in the kids, he still has them compeitive. looking at the 2 sides on saturday versus west ham on paper, we shouldnt have been on the same pitch as them but at times we taught them a football lesson. I think thorny should have some credit for this.We have Academy kids who are being thrust into the first team because of the dire situation on the club. 2 wins in 18 isnt good reading in black and white, but what did you honestly expect given the level of backing he has received?.

out of interest when do people consider players to got some decent experience ? say 20 starts in the team and they are begining to know what its about ?
Squad of 30
14 senior players
plus 3 keepers other than Murphy
plus youngsters - Cameron, ROD, Deagan all played well over 20 professional games (starting)
plus even younger - Thomas (11) Gael (11) Hussey (16) Clarke (20)
Yes it is young but the experience is building.
And before you say it yes i know it is still too young and lacks depth of senior players. But at some point we have to stop saying we struggle because we are such a young squad
