Well from his showings so far he's clearly still far too raw to even be in contention to be a consistent presence in the team next season. Not really sure how that's debatable to be honest. Unfortunately his goal has skewed the perspective of fans regarding his actual overall ability - on quite...

"He's useless"! "Actually he's good at some stuff"! As ever, outstanding insight cc84.

He's not been good enough no, but that's largely irrelevant to his performance yesterday. It's clear we need to move him on - how feasible that is, is a different argument altogether - but posters are quite clearly using their preconceived views of him to suggest he had yet another poor game...

Bizarre comments in this thread that are full of bias. Regardless on our views regarding whether he should be moved on in the summer or not his performance was much improved yesterday.

The size of the squad isn't the issue at all. It's a complete myth used as a scapegoat to brush aside glaringly obvious mistakes in the recruitment department - namely regarding who gets offered what in terms of contracts. Understandably our budget is smaller than most but that doesn't change...

I'd wager this probably also applies to Waghorn.

I'd probably agree with around 15%.

I'm sure a lot of kids go, but the notion that between a third and a quarter of our ST holders being U12 is a bit ridiculous.

I'd imagine that the reduction in price for that percentage of ST holders would be mitigated by those who purchase ST's in the hospitality blocks.

There's absolutely no chance that many of our ST holders are under 12. This isn't a Disney+ subscription.

Areas such as Exeter per capita are likely far wealthier than they are in Coventry though. So it's of no surprise that's their price position.

Price of STs is something that's extremely difficult to increase significantly in short periods. We've risen fast as a club, but if the price of our STs followed suit the club would see footfall drop significantly. It's why clubs such as Bradford are idiotic for pricing their STs so low, as if...

Needs to push on next season and get some minutes under his belt. Hopefully he stays injury free.

Yeah, he was a capable defender who was athletically superior to most on the pitch in any given game. That's always going to give you an advantage as a player. Against better players though, who are far more intelligent both on and off the ball, he'd be quickly found out.

I'm not so sure. He's never consistently played higher than League One and his height, or lack there of, would pose a pretty sizeable issue. The fact he's not particularly technically astute with the ball and his distribution was poor would only highlight his flaws and expose him terribly.

It's not revisionism at all. I'd happily admit I didn't share the same thoughts at the time, as we'd indeed nosedived in form to such an extent that season that when Thorn came in it was a refreshing change. However, once the window was finished and we'd lost the majority of our best players...

My thoughts exactly. Especially when you take into consideration how long he's been there.

Shipley's is the best for me. Great technique to pull that off.

Exactly no other club would've employed him as a manager yet our owners thought it was some kind of coup giving him a permanent contract. And what's worse tried to brainwash the fans to agree with that line of thinking. I think that's always going to happen with fans though. It's no different...

I don't even necessarily blame Thorn. The only aspect of his tenure that truly annoys me is that he lacked self-awareness to call it a day when the time was right. The decisions made by SISU/Dulieu over that entire season were appalling and would've put any manager in a hugely difficult...
