Aspirations tempered? (1 Viewer)

We should get top 6.

But we need a winning mentality and for almost 50 years now havnt had one.

This team needs to settle and quickly. It's clear at the moment it's a total shambles. If it was Daggers or Yeovil that had just beaten us I'd be more concerned. I'm certainly getting very restless at the moment with these dire performances, but too many fans knee jerk both ways when we win or lose.

Surely losing to Wrexham is WORSE than Dag&Red / Yeovil! They are 2 divisions below us, yet they absolutely mauled the squad Thorn claimed was the first 11!

I just do not buy this "settling in" nonsense. ANY team that supposedly is pushing for promotion, should at this stage be able to roll over wrexham no matter what the formation.

Its obvious before the pre-season, Wrexham was intended as a further morale boosting match for the guys. (why else play it?) It has backfired spectacularly.

The warning signs have been there even before last season ended. There just isn't any fire in the bellies of Thorn's teams anymore. they just rolled over and died in the last 2 games of the last season. Thorn is in his job, only because the blinkered keep saying give him just a few more games.

There MUST be a point where you have to say enough is enough. He has had well over a full season to get his managerial abilities up to scratch and he is clearly struggling.

Sure he needs to improve, but we as fans cannot afford to allow him to learn his trade at the expense of our club!

This is why your learn your trade in the lower leagues or with academies. Thorn has had NO managerial experience - not even with kids!

NO MORE EXCUSES, THORN MUST GO NOW!!!

If you don't understand 'settling in' then you really don't understand football ( or any sport or business for that matter ).

Throw a group of people together and they will not perform their best to start with. Why do you think TeamGB struggle at the Olympics, the British and Irish Lions should storm their warm up games against club opposition on the rugby tours but often lose to poor opposition. The whole structure of the group of individuals needs to be established. Leaders need to come to the front, players need to learn how to interact with others, what foot they like their passes on, when they make runs etc. Man City assembled near a billion pounds worth of talent, yet it's taken them what 4 or 5 years to actually see a title for that investment.

Now hopefully following this, the best thing that can happen is a big sit down and a talk about what went wrong. A clear the air meeting, a plan of action to look ahead to the remaining friendlies. I'd much rather this 'crisis' be now with 3 friendlies to go, than 1/4 of the way into the season.

Personally I think we are two decent signings away from getting in the top six.

However I want wood in the defence and hussey at left back and the edge as back up only behind Willis in the pecking order.

if killer is to be cm I want him competing with deegs for the defensive role. We need to sign another Norwood on loan.

I have a horrible feeling edge was at left back as hussey and wood are off. Hussey for the fee, wood to free up wages.

That worries me. As we could get the two attacking players we need, then our defence suddenly is weak!

The previous summary of what we have lost compared to gained explains why we are a bottom half squad.

However we are close no one else out two more in. Come on Ccfc.

could that be down to the manager?

make or break for the club possibly.

people act like thorns been hard done by,but look how many chances hes been given by the board compared to other managers.

im still willing him on but he doesnt fill me with confidence
