Enough is finally enough.

5 goals were scored tonight - NONE by a coventry city player.

He has been given far too much benefit of the doubt.

If he had any shred of dignity - he would resign TONIGHT.

THORN MUST NOW GO - BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!

Aye, not really the right time. If we play like this against Yeovil and Dagenham, you might have a case I agree with!

I dont rate thorn but at least give him a couple of league games! It could be a genius tactic to fool the opposition!

I was toying with the idea that Bruno had bribed them all to play shite, so he could come on and look great by comparison!

TBF he should have been sacked around christmas, but we need a manager in who can make a difference.At the very least Thorn should NEVER be allowed to be anymore dead wood!As a scout he knows it only takes a few games to assess a managers/players abilities.Thorn has had well over a season.Wrexham is the FINAL nail in the coffinWhy risk 6 games? There is still time for a manager to bring in some quality.

I am in 100% agreement but he will never resign and will cling to his post as long as he can. The supporters and the club need to see this as a watershed and put him out of our misery.

just to clarify, i'm not a 'thorn lover' but to say he should resign after a pre season defeat is absurd

If it were a one-off you might have a point, but this is now 4 in a row! Add to that the dreadful end to the season, and now the players have come out in public against him!

His position is NOT tenable. He MUST go!

Yep, the Colchester manager almost immediately.

Replaced somebody promoted from within who was out of his depth.

Yes indeed Nick:

Bryan Gunn (16/01/09 - 13/08/09) win ratio 28.6%

Paul Lambert (18/08/09 - 02/06/12) win ratio 49.3%

That destroys my little bit of sympathy for AT

Bryan Gunn would be a legend here with that win ratio!

So we need to concede a few more goals in pre-season friendlies to stand a chance of getting promoted?

4 goals short tonight, Thorn Out!!!

in my opinion its not the results its the fact we look like we can not be arsed with it. the perfomance is shit, lack of effort and the players look like they dont give a fook, we have had how many seasons of players going through the motions to pick up their pay packet ? and i really do not want to see another season of our so called pro's being carried by the youth team that are in our squad

Oldham beat premier league champions Man City last night in a friendly..........who gives a shit about friendlies ? The exact same people saying thorn out are the ones that will be sucking his dick when we beat Yeovil convincingly on opening day.

You cannot read too much into pre season. A lot of teams are losing against lower opposition lately but I am starting to change my views a little now on Thorn.

I will give him 8 games into the season with full support, if we are failing after 8 games into league 1 then personally I will want him to go.

The problem is (and has been now for a while) is who do we get to replace Thorn?

Who would want to walk into this club with the current situation? Nothing to sell nothing to buy.

Worst mistake we ever made was getting rid of Eric Black!
