It's a good thing we lost..... (4 Viewers)

[standupforcity]

Yes I believe it's a good thing we lost today or there might have been the real possibility of Carsley being appointed on a more permanent basis...and I think we can all see from today's fiasco that that would not be a good idea!!!

We need to get on an find a manager who can restore calm on the ball...and pick the right team from the start. Although this is not a thread about who should and shouldn't have started so I won't go there!

I think we were lucky with other results so we're still in touch, but hey Swindon deserved the win by a mile!

He is a decent bloke but we were shit today prob not his fault but that is the worst we've played all season

 

[Skyblue4u]

I don't care how shit we played or worry about carsley getting the job but surly you can't see us losing today as a "good thing"

Are you just upset because you wasted a fiver on a potential trip to Wembley last month? Wasn't it you i met trying to buy a hot dog at HT with cash at the Chelsea cup game?

After the horror of Andy Thorn, I don't think a caretaker's honeymoon has quite the same credit as it once did.

What a stupid comment, 'its good we lost'!! They wont make that mistake again but I can see him still in charge as caretaker until the end of season so be ready for it.

Yep stupid comment. Carsley has already stated he doesn't feel ready to step up to being manager full time, that he is still learning doing the academy and reserves.

Why do you and others cling to this? Totally undermined by the board, he did well to get as many points as we did last season.

Cling to what? Those who called Thorn out in the early days of the 2011 season have been thoroughly vindicated. Seems to me that it can only be those who insist that AT is a good manager are the ones clinging onto a delusion that has nothing to back it up.

Why do you lay the relegation / bad results at AT'S door and not SISU's?

Blame can be shared about. As a matter of fact, I am particularly angry at SISU for keeping Thorn in charge for so long.

He was, but he has wasted resources when he's been allowed to spend or have full backing of the board: Cody, Nimely, Kilbane, Malaga, Edj, Hussey, Elliott, Ball, Brown. Only 1 of his signings in the summer started yesterday, Jennings, who played poorly.

He never signed a winger in the summer which is a bit of crime because what it meant, in hindsight, that he was going to be stubborn and ONLY use the diamond, the managers mix their formations up, look at Fergie, they've played 3-5 different systems this season.

I'm surprised you don't use Thorn or Coleman as example of the boards fucking up.

It really is comical - I knew the minute I challenged CM's vitriolic and unwarranted comment about AT, I'd have the heavies on me like a pack of dogs. Amazes me that a man who was a force for so much good has got a small band of such rabid haters.

Not going to argue it any more tonight, you won't change my opinion no matter how spiteful you get.

Force for good!? In what way.

Oh yeah, I forgot he was Yoda. :facepalm:

Unwarranted? The man has the worst record of any CCFC manager. You want to blame SISU for that? Fine, but then you have the tricky issue of explaining the home v away record, which is completely independent of spending issues. I am also unsure as to how you could defend his tactical imagination, his "I don't know what to do" interviews, the effectiveness of his signings, etc.

I'd have the heavies on me like a pack of dogs. Amazes me that a man who was a force for so much good has got a small band of such rabid haters.

That is just a sad example of the insane polarisation this SISU hatred brings.

The football was utterly appalling CJ and in the 7 or 8 away games I spent £300 at least going to, we drew 1 and lost the rest. This was not because the team was hopeless-we rarely took heavy beatings, but because we set our stall in damage limitation mode virtually all season. Retaining him cost us our league status and fecked up our chances this season and even now 20% of the points dropped from in front were his doing.

I wish he'd never joined our club in the first place.

Just call them dickheads. Works for you.

'Lose the battle win the war' jumps to mind...??!

We're not at war, we're a football club. Points is what the game is all about.

They are there to be used. If you don't like them tell the Moderators to get rid of them.

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

My opinion is this, Carsley is not management material. Thorn was not/is not management material. Both are tactically inept.
Thorn had no, or very little backing from SISU, but even so, couldn't manage a piss up in a brewery(Sorry wrong terminology)
We should know very soon what intentions SISU have for CCFC by whom they appoint as manager.....and if it's Curle..."God help us"

 

[standupforcity]

Agreed...but it feels like a bloody war!! There are just so many flanks to be sorted at this club...and one day I just want to be able to enjoy the football from a team supported on all sides...and the sooner the better.

Surely virginity could be an exception?

 

[Swindonguy]

You were in the same boat as us a week ago we came towards the Coventry game on poor form with no manager. If we'd scraped a point against bury in midweek we probably would have still had ward and miller as player managers and we would never have made that comeback. I agree if it pushes for a change a loss can do wonders
