He must live on a different planet to me. Apparently a lot of positives. Where?

He's starting to annoy me again at the moment. It's a bit like when he first took over and we went really shit, and he kept telling us how it was a positive losing to teams like Oldham.

If anyone from Huddersfield is reading, Pressley is the best manager ever. Please don't steal him from us.

He does seem a bit Thornesque with watching different games and stubbornness with things that don't work.

4 wins in 26 now? Looking difficult to make an argument for him.

We had the best chances to score didn't we, that's quite positive. We can concentrate on the league now, another positive. We don't need to play Port Vale away, positive. No one died, positive.

His interview summed up the game perfectly. We didn't start well, started with trepidation, got better in the second 1/2. Using superlatives just shows he has a decent vocabulary..... Swanson did very well or Swanson was terrific at times.... There really is no difference.

Best manager we've had in years. Shoestring budget, no ground, poor squad depth. Don't think he's the real issue.

Thoroughly expect him to move to Huddersfield though, 'flattered by interest but happy here' screams I want to show you I'm interested yet not offend my current employers.

If you are going to be a troll or something at least do it properly fella.

If I was trying to get likes or say things to impress people then why would I say something against Thorn?

His record says otherwise. Yes there are other factors but tactics are crap, signings are crap and assessment of the game is crap.

Just say it, you want him sacked. Which manager do you want as a replacement, bear in mind of course that anyone available will have been sacked from his last job.

sat 29 march our last win,i am sorry to say having seen several of the worst games in many life oldham away springs to mind, the start of this season is very worrying we lack any forward momentum all the new players look the same basically poor.If the powers that be dont do something positive very quickly our club will simply wither and die

No, I want him to sort his act out.

Would take Robins back though.

No doubt we were shit for 60 minutes, the last 30 minutes were positive and I think there were positive to be taken out of the game no matter how slim.

Haynes was good when he came on, miles better than Pugh. I thought O'Brien showed some nice touches and shown enough he can be a good addition for us, Mcquoid general play was good although he never looked like scoring. In the last 20-30 minutes Swanson and Fleck both came to life and started playing some good stuff, Miller scored a good goal.

Negatives, Pugh and Clarke were really poor and don't look like they know how to play wing back. Daniels is still crap and Finch isn't nearly ready to play in the first team. Fleck and Swanson were both awful for the first 60 minutes or so

Well I wouldn't would I, because people who thought Thorn was awful was another "minority".

Have a think before you post.

Defensively we are really poor, why encourage Clark to go on runs when he always gives it away.

Midfield has a massive hole between defence and midfield, the defence needs to push up quicker and we need a holding player just to sit in.

Attack wise nothing, Mcquoide is not the answer. Tudgey is a better player so maybe him and a big strong forward would work. We need pace down the flanks that we haven't got. Baker needs to be in the team at least he can run with the ball,

Overall we need I would say 4 more players to compete in the league, could be a long season if we don't get anyone in.

His record given our tiny squad and all our the outfield problems is very respectable for me.

Enlighten me how you would turn things around?

We have so many young players, who understandably play with nativity, they need nurturing and protecting not moronic criticism.

If we could convert your sweeping tactics on behalf of SISU to our defence, we would be as tight as a ducks arse at the back and I would fancy us for promotion.

Are they waiting for Huddersfield to come and take him for the compo to save them having to sack him and pay him off?

Mate who went game was talking to timmy.he has Been told by fischer tonight they will not let pressley leave as he is just starting his building job. And ricoh deal is definatley on! Apparently waggot said to some other lad that smith lad at swindon is a priority signing and we will make one more offer for him.personally dont think many managers would do much better with what pressleys having to deal with squad budget and sixfields.i agree record not great at min but he has a whole new squad that need to gel.we need to trust our manager for once and back him.onlyway this club will change if structure is consistant for a while on the playing side.

Still only the second game of a long season , and against way better opposition (although there 2nd team)

The first half was an woeful showing , but then we improved a little in the second half .

And at least we won't have any crappy cup runs to distract us from •our promotion push/relegation battle .. AND at least SISU won't have this cup payoff from a big away day

Ah well never mind, one you may just believe something! Also possible loan striker from Premiership club (if all parties see sense?), not sure about the Smith situation but would not surprise me if we made another bid.

As for the Ricoh, we'll be back (on a temporary basis) within 3 to 4 weeks!

I know few on here believe it, so let's just wait and see! PUSB

Strange, you say temporary, yet SISU have changed from "build our own stadium" to "own our own stadium"

Keep up, HELP!
