Come on; AT was a manager with no experience. I suspect this was at the root of all the negative comments. He is obviously gaining the experience "on the job" and thankfully seems to be learning from his mistakes.Even Duffy may have to finally accept Andy Thorn is a good manager. Assuming that you can't have two honeymoons in one marriage.
You just don't have a team playing away with Christie, Ruffles, Thomas and Bigi in the first 11 like away at palace. You have a team with one or two of them max and the likes of Mcdonald on the bench and AT has a chance to work his magic
Come on boys have a tiny tiny piece of humble pie.

Everybody can see that he did make mistakes. I think even he'd admit it. But he was learning and sometimes the only way to learn is from mistakes. The thing I think got some people was that we didn't have the squad to give a rookie time to learn his trade - or so it seemed at Christmas. We're not safe yet though, we need to push on from here.
This. Exactly this! We looked certain to have a relegation struggle anyway and I think people quite rightly asked the question, was a novice, rookie manager really what we needed at the helm and were we in a position to allow him time to learn his trade?
Why can't we now all just pull in the same direction though rather than start syaing who is right and who is wrong?
Today is a day of celebration. The first away win and the first time since October that we have been out of the bottom 3. Why are some people trying to do some point scoring?
Let;s just celegrate the fact that we now have a very realistic chance of staying up and have to feel very, very confident of a win against Peterborough at home next Saturday!!
Of course I don't think they wanted us to lose. Don't be so silly. They seem like top blokes who generate great interesting debates on here.Last thing that's needed after this much needed win is for you to turn round and rub faces in being 'wrong'. It makes it come across as though Duffy/Nick wanted us to lose games in order to prove a point.
Have to say I am now very optimisitic about Peterborough next week.
To be quite honest, can't think of a better team to play. A team in midtable, nothing to play for and a leaky defence that has let in 64 goals in 40 games.
Tis a match made in heaven to be honest. Not saying it will be easy, but surely this is exactly the sort of fixture we need right now. They will probably already have one eye on their Summer holidays and some golden tropical beach.
If we are on our mettle and full of fight and spirit I can only see this game going one way.

We have crossed opions about AT as a manager.
I would like to think that they have a bit more about them than to to think about in such a childish manner.
From my debates I have had with them on here I am pretty sure they would not take it that way. I certainly hope so anyway
Read through your OP and title and it's hardly a surprise I came to the conclusion I did.
It's ridiculous.
Surely Thorn is even better than Jimmy Hill.
Ha ha ha, They will need a lot of marble if they are going to do a Thorn statue
I dont think by asking Duffy and Nick if they may now think AT is a good a manager equates to "Duffy and Nick you want Cov to lose just so you can prove a point".
They have been quite critical of Thorn to the extent that I formed the opinion that they did not think he was the right man to do the job and keep us up. Fellas correct me if I am wrong on this one and I will take it back.
I hope that recent events might be slightly changing their opinions. It may not.
Duffy has made me think about things differently a few times on here. On matters such as the suitability of Dennis Wise for example. Nick pointed out where Thorn has made a mistake by putting on Fat Freddie for 2 minutes. Which I have to accept does seem like a mistake.
That is the point of debates.
We are all Cov fans we all want Cov to succeed. It would be insulting for me to suggest they dont want Cov to succeed. Hence why I did not say that and did not in any way or form even imply or hint at it.
@ Brighton - seems just like me and you who are singing of the same sheet tonight, what is wrong with people? we are 4th from bottom!
He's not the new Jimmy Hill.
Mrs. Thorn?
No need for an essay old chap-time to crack open a bottle and be done with it!
