Well there's a first time for everything.
I suspect I will be in the majority on this one.

Bloody hell, the glass really is half empty for you isn't it. I'm surprised you get out of bed in the morning!It's what I expect, anything less will be under performaning.
We have lost clingan, Keogh, cranie. Platt Nimely Norwood mcpake. I know we haveost more but these boys are significant.
We have gained Malaga, Killer
IMO edge, Elliot, fleck, ball, Brown all have potential but will we really don't know what we will get.
Cody will get injured we need aotger goalscorer.
We don't have Norwoods replacement. So not one to keep the ball and create from cm.
Before we got killer and Malaga I though we had a chance if relegation. Now if we go down something would be really wrong.
But I can't see us going up without a hell of s lot of luck
I usually just read this forum and rarely leave a message, and I am neither in nor out of the Thorn camp.
But I just had to say something now. I have been following this forum for a few months now, and watching the anti-Thorn brigade take any excuse to rip him down, watching them turn just about every topic into anti-Thorn tirades. It is pathetic, and I get the feeling they are so rabid now that they don't even realise they are doing it.
They bring the same twisted statistics "proving" he is the worst manager ever when they logically must know that isolated statistics are meaningless whilst at the same time ignoring and attacking any comment from less rabid posters that in any form whatsoever seem to be supporting Thorn.
It would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic and so very, very boring.
I am not a fan of Thorn, and I also thought he might have done better at some times, but I recognise the truth of what he was left to work with - especially at the end of the season when he was forced to put crocked academy players and untried teenagers on the field to make up numbers. Yes, he failed to motivate sometimes and sometimes his tactics (if any) were more than confusing. But somehow he managed to keep up moral and he kept the players on his side, which was remarkable given the circumstances.
Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for me personally it has become more than pathetic hearing the same bile spewed forth ad nauseum.
Nick,
I know you are no fan of Thorn's, but can't something be done about these anti-Thorn posters turning just about every single topic into an anti-Thorn tirades? It is ruining this forum for me, and I suspect for many others.

Ahh, the old anti-Thorn/pro-Thorn thing again.
Amusing the amount of posters who say they are 'not a fan of Thorn' but then get into tirades about the 'anti Thorn brigade.'
The way I see it is that most people are just posters posting about what they see is right and when they see things are wrong. We have just been relegated, so pretty much everything has been wrong of late (club from top to bottom).
If we start doing well I am sure Thorn will get praise. If we do badly he will quite rightly get criticised. That is the camp I am in. When he gets it right I praise him, when he gets it wrong I give him stick.
Don't see any problem with that at all.
I see very few people who are 'anti Thorn.' They are just yet to be convinced by him.
Can't thorn just get the sack then no one need talk about him again? Just an idea.
He'll be gone by Christmas.
I am slightly worried that some people aren't going to be able to cope when he does eventually get the boot.
Why dont the ant thorn mob vent there anger towards the board/owners? After all they employed the guy.
There's plenty on here that berate everything he does,
I would like a link to a post berating him in the past week. Please.
I said we should fire him because he's bald, sweaty and has a bear belly.
Think most people realised it was a joke though.
A bear belly? Does that sit just above his growler?
Ok, there was one two days ago calling him a 'borderline illiterate'. But you are missing the point, Rich. The point is not that the OP is talking about posts which berate him as a person. They are in the minority. There is a tendency to berate his ability as manager. Which is fine. This is a football forum. Most are grown ups. However, the edge is taken off your forum when so many threads descend into the same back and forth about Thorn. There is a marked lack of balance (from both sides), the argument does not progress and it is a fucking chore to read. Don't read, then? I think you will find fewer and fewer will before long.
I am not missing to the point. I want to see posts from the anti Thorn Brigade. The rumoured people that belittle him and his tactics in every thread.

Yet again Thorn the Bully rips into the kids. He did it last year to Bigi and looked what happened after that. He hardly played and now looks the part at Newcastle.
Everyone will be just fine, don't be silly. We are Coventry City fans, not Andy Thorn fans.
