We went long ball all the time!
The only time I saw us go long was when we were under pressure and we had Platt and to be fair to him when he was fit and not forced on the pitch with a bad back beheld it up quite well.
Don't get me wrong, MR has done well. But you have to give AT his share of credit too. We wouldn't be doing as well as were are without him. You have no choice but to accept this.
Get off your high horse, and stop insulting a man who was a great servant to our club. Your pathetic attitude is disgusting.
Answer the question CJ better manager -- black or thorn?
Both did good jobs for CCFC under very different circumstances. AT did a better job IMO, given the lack of support and squad that he had. Would have AT back over Black.

Yeah he's sensible. He's the idiot who said west ham would be 10 points better off under thorn.
Still were down to two now.
Ahh I get it, you are making a joke. You are a very funny personBoth did good jobs for CCFC under very different circumstances. AT did a better job IMO, given the lack of support and squad that he had. Would have AT back over Black.
Better than thee Eric Black!? You must be high!? He rescued our season and nearly got us into the playoffs! Then replaced by another clueless idiot, Peter Reid.
A team with a small squad and small resources still has a chance if well managed. Everton in the top flight, Blackpool in the Champs, and Stevenage in our own league are all good examples. Despite its paucity we had players good enough to make a proper fist of things last season; Bigi was hopelessly managed and the awful Clingan as captain to boot.
You have a right to your opinion CJ but as I've said a lot of times, Thorn's legacy was relegation, incompetence, and laziness. SISU are to blame only in his appointment and failure to dismiss him earlier. It is he we have to thank for our current league status.

Disagree mate...we had such a disadvantage in terms of the squad AT had available last season, relegation was a foregone conclusion from the off. I was amazed we stayed in the hunt as long as we did.
Black was overrated by City fans. Did a good job, to be fair, but no messiah.
AT rescued our season in 2011, don't forget that. Then SISU sold the shop from under him and left him high and dry.

I was surprised we were not relegated a lot quickly.
The signings of Norwood and Nimely delayed inevitable
Nimely added one solitary goal. Thorn's dismissal early doors followed by a competent successor would have prevented 'the inevitable'.
Maybe who knows.
Personally I think there were to many realistic options around at that point who could have turned that around.
Nimely scored that goal, won three penalties and got 4-5 assists.
Which was better than what a lot of the rest if our squad was offering and IMO delayed the inevitable
He was signed to score goals-he didn't. You and CJ are in a minority of 2 here and thank God you aren't on the board.

We are I agree.
However fortunately you and Grendal are part of a minority that are personally abusive about thorn calling him fat and the likes.....
I don't 'abuse' Thorn-but I am extremely scornful of what his uncontrolled mismanagement did last season and throughout the summer.

Why are you so determined to try to prove that AT was awful?
Maybe who knows.

Nimely had one assist.
Nimley assisted Norwood vs Pompey and Sheff vs Middlesbrough, these are just what I remembered instantly without any research or analysis. Nimley was a decent player, not great an very raw, but he clearly had ability ob the ball. Now he had just signed on loan for a play off chasing Championship club so obviously they think he must be decent also. Juke only scored 1 goal in open play in about his first 6 months with us an he did alright for us
I have looked at 2 websites. One shows zero assists and the other shows 1 assist.
