Totally agree. We are probably the most unsteady team in the UK and have been for ages. I actually thought we had a very decent squad for league 1 but oh well. I think the problem is if we dont get promoted in the 1st season we're gonna lose a lot of players etc and its gonna get very difficult to get promoted. In a few years we will turn into a regular league one team.

No it's not looking good. I promise this will be the last dig at thorn but even this eye for talent is nonsense.
At least half the players recruited are hugely suspect and a couple of the others very average at best. His flagship signing of last season is a flop with an appalling chance to conversion ratio.
His lacklustre management style has created apathy and lack of desire and purpose throughout the squad
It will take months if not years to repair the damage he has done.
It's a disaster.

We have gone to pot since he left. In 90 mins we have drawn 2 and lost 1. We have alledgedly having players giving the finger to us fans.
We need a strong manager to take over ASAP

The last one we drew was allegedly the best performance in years. According to the radio Hussey did nothing but give a fist salute when he scored. The main problem is the players signed look poor.

A great article by The Secret Footballer on what a promotion side needs, we do not have enough of those characteristics

Totally agree.
We need a top class manager to take these players anywhere.
From what I have seen so far and the amount of times we have struggled, I would say we look more likely to go down than make the top 6.

Stop panicking FFS. We've got a new manager on the way. The players have proven they can perform against Brum and in patches.
We have good players, they are just playing REALLY badly.

Yeah, he did a fist pump. He was also clapped. Nothing sinister at all.
But yeah, I'm writing the season off already.

The players have the skill as seen against Brum which is what is annoying. Last season you could see in spells when we would take the lead we had the quality.
We need something mentally to happen, can they not go to a hypnotherapist or something?
We need passion and fight.
It doesnt matter if it was the JPT, tonight it looked like a friendly (from both sides) with how relaxed it was, we should have been busting a gut to win.

And that's the point we don't have enough of those players/characters in the squad - we have Jennings..........and that's it.

I wouldn't write the whole season off quite yet - how many teams have started badly then snuck their way up the table and won the playoffs. We're not on a great run and the last 2 games have been shite, but there are players like Barton, Jennings etc with quality we need. Say what you want about Hussey for example - not great atm but I've seen him play brilliantly, just cheer them on and see who the new boss is...

You post like a true clown once again
The owners and previous clowns like Brody and Delieu have done 95% of this damage to us

The shocking lack of tactics is the problem, the dinosaur formation that is 4-4-2 does not work, we play neither long ball or passing football, shaw blew any chance he had of getting the job by doing nothing different tactically with the players, he just sent them out with no aim, direction or game plan. This squad is still good enough for promotion but it needs to be combined with a manager who can organize the team and give them direction. At least with thorn and Aidy we had a game plan, currently the players don't know what to do with the ball

Would have really fancied it, if we had not have pratted around sacking the manager. Creating uncertainty, instability and unnecessary change..
Think it will happen with this lot once the new manager gets 5 or 6 games under his belt.

Carso and Shawsy?? WTF? Are they you mates or summat? Call them by their proper names. CARSLEY AND SHAW! It's all this "buddy naming" that has got the team where it is. No fu**in' discipline in the squad! Too pally!

Delieu certainly. Long term contracts to deadwood players.
Remind me, who appointed thorn as full time manager?
To imply Thorn had NOTHING to do with relegation is MADNESS. Shaw is merely trying to show solidarity for Thorn by using his tactic tgo PROVE it was wrong to sack him! Unfortunately, the diamond was played against Crewe, and was finally laid to rest as a useless formation. Then as Shaw is not a manager (hoiwever much he would like to be) went to what he played at Coventry. Unfortunately again, this hasn't worked!
When you cannot beat Burton Albion (similar to Bedworth Utd) in full 90 minutes and have to take LOTS of penalties to win, you cannot claim the side is good enough to get promotion!
This is the real legacy of Thorn, from a lower-mid championship team to a low level League 1 team. Don't give me excuses - these are HIS players. These were on HIS list. Thorn is responsible for this shower!
Get used to crowds of 6-7k as if this continues, and SISU wont go, all they will have are the ST holders and away fans! Forget roll up fans on the day - no one is going to go out of their way and pay championship prices for this crap!

I think the team is good enough. A few week links at the moment, but hopefully the new manager will sort them out. The Brum game showed what the team is capable of. Negativity is still at the heart of the club i fear and needs ripping out.
