Sorry valiant it was the reply to your post I shoulda quoted, but I'm sure everyone knows that.

I agree to a certain extent but Thorn is the manager and was the scout before and has been the reason behind this team. It is his players who simply not good enough.

Dann, Fox, Westwood etc were good enough...

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

So as scout he found us Westwood, Dann, Fox, Gunna, Juke et al - and none of them for big fees. Sounds pretty good to me.

As manager he took over a team with 1 win in 18 (I think) that was heading for relegation and kept them up - whilst playing much more attractive football. He then loses King, Westie, Gunna and Turner, is given virtually no money to replace them and yet you seem to be surprised that we're where we are.

Short of turning water into wine during half times, I think he's done more than we could have reasonably expected.

...and I should have read that before I went off on one. Well put, sir!

I agree this is an important game.

I see it as 2 points lost on Sat, so we need this win.

We are coming up to 10 games now and for the bottom 3 the gap can start to show early on.

I tried to think of an articulate answer............but in the end all i could think was...............your a cock!!

ridiculous reply to a fair point really. While I wouldn't suggest AT to be sacking material 4 from 19 at least dispels the silly god like status he has been given.

how was that a fair point? 4 from 19.....the club has released/sold/let walk away at least 9 that i can remember. Replaced them with 2 goalkeepers and 1 striker. he has too play 17/18 year olds beacuse we have no players. and yet we play the best football i have seen up there since we got relegated (and some of the shit we dished up in the prem!) so how the hell can he be slated for what sisu are doing to our club!!
He is doing a fantastic job in an almost impossible situation.

 

[Macca]

but 4 from 19 isn't a fantastic job

 

[skybluesben]

anyone want sisu out yet?

 

[ccfcway]

Not that big, there isn't even a thread about the game.

Sisu have sucked everything out of this club, no-one cares any more, oh I am at the match, for what it's worth !!

 

[ccfcway]

Blackpool have the edge,

5 goals in 9 games, are we bottom yet ?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

If we are in the bottom 3 after 10 games then we have set our standards for the season.

 

[Mumford and Daughter]

Smiley - his players like bell and hussey showed tonight are not good enough yet we offer bell a new contract! And under thorn we've conceded so many late goals. Top of my head. Burnley away, preston away, palace away and tonight. Why do we sit back on leads all the time? I will say one thing, diamond did not work tonight and I think we should start 4 4 2 Saturday.

I was always under the impression that Dann and Fox were Ranson's recommendations?

Anyway on the case of players He has also recommended in players (Top of my head) like Bell, Hussey, Roy OD, McIndoe, Beuzlin, McKenzie, Simpson, Gray, Kyle, McNamme, Borrowdale. Shall i continue?

 

[wingy]

M+D Six of those players were recruited by Adams and Dowie way before ranson came and Brought AT in

I live in Lincoln now, so midweek games are almost always out so i take your observation last night as valied. However a point can be made about his good and his bad signings, what i was defending on was the fact if it is half decent SISU sell, and refuse (so far) to replace. how is he supposed to work with that!! can you honestly say that the team that finished last season would have struggled and played poor football this season? i can't to be fair, considering what we have he is doing okay, and i do feel sorry for the guy.

Sorry about the "cock" statement by the way

ive been called worse

after 30 mins we changed from diamond to a 433 or 451 formation which was more effective and we seemed to play better.
