So frustrating. Top defender in league one terms.
When a player's out of favour that's just what happens-it's stupid. We're in no position to be letting him go if he stays fit.
So WHERE is the 3500 season ticket sales being spent cause it an't on the the team. This is just like close season last year loads out and none in. We will be struggling to put a team out for the 1st game of the season at this rate. See you all in D4 if were still in business
Lack of experience? Has anyone here really hero worshipped Thorn? I think he takes a lot of advice from Harrison and I think that he is much more of a problem than AT.
Haven't you heard Rich, nobody could do a better job, hes the best man for the job and doing a fantastic job.
But surely as MANAGER, AT calls the shots????
Or is it a case of everything that goes well is down to AT, and everything shitty is A. N. Other's fault.....:thinking about:
And he's the right man to get us out of L1 (based on no evidence)....:facepalm:
yea i would love his job sittin on a bench on £30,000 a weekwhat happend to kieron Westwood who had a spell in team before coming down with flu and losing his place. He is good keeper saw him at the Ireland match on saturday and he was very good. he will be back in that sunderland side next year and in the meantime has a small trip to the euros to cheer him up. Hardley a reason to imply it was a bad move.

It did look as if the flair was played out of him, look at what happened to Nimely too.
Sometimes with our midfield it looked as if there was an imaginary line that they had to stop at, once they got that far they would stop.
How anyone can say 500k for Gael is a good deal is beyond me... Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain had one good season in league 1 at Gaels age and Arsenal bought him for what? £10m? If we sell Gael for nothing now then we are going to heavilly regret it when Newcastle are trying to fight off selling him for millions.. Andy Carrol for £1m ring any bells..?
OK Thorn "not raters" (seeing as we aren't allowed to say "hate" anymore), you all need to stop complaining about SISU then, don't you? Clearly it makes no odds what they do, as Thorn's a crap manager anyway? Let them get on with it, we won't go anywhere under Thorn.
No nimely just want that good. He looked great on debut vs a ten man team playing open football, but most teams had worked him out. In the end you could see why mowbery didn't play him up top and why he only started him once.
I would revert that the other way. I can't stand SISU because they employed Thorn and continue to employ him. If you like Thorn so much lay of SISU as they are the only people clueless enough and stupid enough to retain his services.
I think that's a little harsh to be fair-he had the ability and pace to run at defenders, make intelligent runs off the ball, and cause problems with the ball. His problem was that he was so often fed hoofs from the back and asked to take the ball at chest or head height-it was pointless. Towards the end all the games caught up with him and he struggled, but had we bothered playing to his strengths than treating him like Platt Mk II, I think we'd have got more from him.

I may have been a little harsh but I disagree with you that he made intelligent runs off the ball. His standard move way to drop into the hole an try and turn so he could run a the defence, he very very rarely made runs in behind which is why he became so easy to mark, defenders knew he would just drop off - and the he would turn to face a defensive midfielder and 4 defenders who'd smother him out. Also when not in possession and the ball out wide he never showed any desire to get into the box, he used to just stand on the edge of the box.
He has all the potential in the world and did cause problems, but at 21 now he still needs to learn a lot and some of that is bread and butter striker runs that he really should already know.
That's a pretty arrogantly written article there...
So because he's a black African he is either going to be the next Essien or Toite?
