    Zinedine Kilbane..

    Brown was poor - at fault for the goal etc.. his mistakes were visible, Kilbane's contribution was negligible. I can sometimes be guilty of underestimating the role that certain players play but he was off the pace in the first half and offered nothing down the left hand side. He got better in...

    the two french centre halfs

    I'm dragging up this old thread cos I am baffled as to how AT could pick Brown in preference to Malaga having seen both play tonight. AT would have seen more of Malaga yet preferred Brown who has had 2 very poor games. Is it to try to win favour with Man U to get other potential loanees, its a...

    Diamonds are forever

    I don't think formation is the problem, it is the tempo that we play at. 10 passes when two would do allow the opposition to re-group our best spell in the second half was when we upped the tempo, our goal was as direct as is possible a long punt followed by a couple of touches.

    How did the new boys look tonight ?

    Kilbane was imense !!! need to expand on this first half he was very poor - like most of the team, seemed to me that he was off the pace all game but love to hear your opinion.

    never ever learns

    Reece Brown was struggling towards the end and failed to get close to their left winger for the cross for their goal. Jordan willis would have been a reasonable replacement. Kilbane just not sure what position he was playing and seemed off the pace all game.

    The Occasion Got To Us - Thorn

    "weak as a nun's pi$$" - we need winners not wimps, not the mentality of a top 6 team.

    the two french centre halfs

    Its a fans forum not an election campaign. Brown is an inexperienced footballer from a famous club and has a famous brother and as jumped ahead of malaga and the Edge. Now he may have been mom at D&R ~(favourites to be relegated from Div2) but yesterday had a shocker, as Neil Wood & Lee...

    Thorn is not the man.

    I don't believe AT is good enough, by this time next week following 2 home games we will have a better idea. I just don't think he is capable of motivating a side for the big games, such as Brizzol and Forest away last year, Tuesday is a game against the top team in the division, let us see how...

    the two french centre halfs

    By all accounts Nimley could not have done much worse than Brown. Brown has limited match time experience also.

    the two french centre halfs

    I hope AT isn't playing Brown just to keep Man Utd sweet with a view to other future loans.

    the two french centre halfs

    WTF is going on. Brought early in pre -season then immediately overlooked for a young loanee who has been poor by all accounts in both games. AT has stated that they need time to adjust to the English game, if that is the case AT has fooked up. We can't afford to have such a shortage in a key...

    Thorn Bashers!!!!!

    I genuinely believe the opposition were surprised how well we moved the ball around considering our lowly position but praise is easy, its called generous in victory. The hull game was an example of a game where they weren't particularly good but still won as despite all our possession we...

    Thorn Bashers!!!!!

    Not sure we dominated that many games, keeping possession in the middle of the pitch does not imply domination, we didn;t create enough chances we lost by a single goal such as Hull at home but we created nothing at when chasing the game we passed the ball safely around the middle of the park...

    Thorn Bashers!!!!!

    Ordinarily pre season results are meaningless but our last 6 games where we were in a relegation scrap we had 2 draws and 4 defeats, including Brizzol a 6 pointer where we never turned up, Millwall and Donny home defeats where we looked so poor. read what you want into Jordan Clarkes tweet but...

    sacking managers

    Since relegation when have we got a manager who is actually in employment and paid compensation for ?. I think Booth was the only one, we have gone for the cheap option everytime. Roland - was currently at the club - has done well since Garry Mc - Player Manager 2 for the price of 1 Eric Black...

    Stop the Thorn bashing!!!!

    Wrexham 4- 1 cov Nuneaton 1 -0 cov Inverness 3 -1 cov Ross County 1 -0 Cov Anyone of those in isolation is acceptable but together demonstrate that there are problems, against mostly nonleague opposition we have scored twice in 4 games and tonight's team was virtually our first choice team...

    77% households have internet access

    hopefully AT can use the internet to research tactics, Bell to watch quality players and how they impact a game rather than a few stepovers and a 5 yard pass.

    starting lineup

    I think we have discounted Bill, Reece and Elliot - they may figure ahead of Wood and Baker and possibly Hussey.
