Nah it's much more "hip" to blame the manager for everything now. Blaming SISU is so last year.
Attention hasn't shifted from Sisu to Thorn.
Sisu to blame for our finances.
Sisu to blame for no investment.
Sisu to blame for our small squad.
Sisu to blame for selling players.
Sisu to blame for installing a scout as manager.
Sisu not to blame for the tactics on the football field.
Sisu not to blame for the way we set up our stall for away games.
Blame for our situation? Would guess as 85% Sisu, 15% Thorn. (haven't mentioned the players there because that comes under the umbrella of Sisu not bringing in enough quality. The players are obviously in some way to blame for the silly school boy defending and daft goals, but as I say, on the whole that comes under the remit of Sisu's tenure)
so in theory if he keeps us up he is doing a good job!I do have sympathy for Thorn. Even if he does have something about him in the managerial ability stakes, it's hardly fair for his first job in management to be in charge of a team labelled odds on certs for relegation and with a tiny squad now is it! This season needed a wise old head taking the reins. And before anyone says we don't have money, I am obvioulsy talking about pre-season and we could have utilised some of the money we saved/got from players leaving/being sold.
so in theory if he keeps us up he is doing a good job!
If he keeps us up he will have done a good job.
But, if we are good enough to stay up then we shouldn't have been in the bottom 3 since last October and 7 or 8 points adrift at the bottom since Christmas.
If he keeps us up that points to him probably getting it wrong perviously but finally getting it right in the end.
Not sure that is a good recipe for management. Maybe he will become a good manager in time. Not so sure that time is what we have though.
But why are we strong at home but so piss poor away. Just doesn't add up.
And you talk of easier games. Well there was nothing easier than Forest away on Saturday. They were on a terrible run and had scored just 1 goal in 8 games. Brighton away too were there for the taking after a terrible run. Peterborough away too shouldn't have been a tough game.
But there's no doubt that the failings of one impinge on the success of the other. They are not entirely separate issues.
