As some fans on here appear to think that our manager is under-performing, can I ask what a reasonable league position would be for his budget / squad??
At the London Supporters Club meeting he said in his own view he won't celebrate if we finish 21st, he feels we have a squad that should be "mid-table, pushing on"
Just answered your own question then. If Thorn really said that I would expect him to deliver on his own expectations as I would expect any manager working for me to meet their personal objectives.
Yeah, because when he's got a squad to motivate the way to do It and build their confidence would be to publicly say "we'll do well to stay up".
Nice one.

Thorn: "Squad hasn't been stronger all season."
That is on the offal today.
Okay, let's just see how we do from now til the end of the season shall we! AT is saying we have the potential to be mid-table and has now just said his squad has never been stronger. That surely should mean we should now escpare relegation then. Anything other than that would have be underperforming wouldn't it? :thinking about:
As I've said eleventy billion times plus 1,

He's saying it to stop everyone panicking and the players losing confidence. It's pretty standard stuff - you every seen Fergie, Dalglish or Anger after a game?
The squad Is shit.
The squad Is shit.
Really? That's a bit harsh - who the hell scouted them! Needs sacking I'd say.

The squad is shit in the sense it has no depth.
This character assassination of Thorn is fast becoming a joke. People are really going all out to discredit him.
Steve Kean situation all over again.
Shit owners but Manager takes the flak from idiots.

Argument I was trying to have yesterday. If the squad is shit he is a poor scout, if it is good he is a poor manager! Can't have both
I personally think under achieving and that with the players we have now we shouldn't be where we are.
Some people defending Thorn take it as a personal attack, and remind you quite a lot of the 'Leave Britney alone!' YouTube vid (here for those who aren't aware: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc).
Not even in the context of SISU can you defend the atrocious away form that is responsible for our place in the bottom 3. Thorn deserves praise for turning the Ricoh into a difficult place to get a result-we look confident at home and capable of giving anyone in the league a game there. But, 3 measly points from a possible 48 is simply terrible-and the relatively good home form shows you that AT *is* at fault in this respect. I don't defend people murdering the guy for the sake of it but equally, those defending him to an almost personal level need to realise that they, also, are going too far in that.
Leave Andy Thorn alone!
