thorn tried his best under difficult circumstances , losing westwood, king ,gunnar ,and turner at the start of last season and only being allowed to bring in 2 goalies and a fat injured mcdonald was the beginning of the end , SISU did naff all to try and keep us in the championship and its only now they are waking up after seeing the poor attendance on saturday
although thorn tried his best he wasnt a manager his tactics, formations,lack of substitutions at the right time,motivation were poor and you have to bring into question his training methods as the players didnt look fit all last season and we have carried this on into this season.
As for ex players or wifes mouthing off that just sour grapes , o'donovan isnt good enuff for this level and mcpake(although i rated him) and deegan were always injured and i get the impression deegan was a bit of a bad apple anyway
iam glad thorn has gone but this should have been done in the summer to allow a new manager to bring in the 9 or so players he wanted because the new manager isnt going to have much scope to bring anyone in! but whats done is done but we now have to look forward and try and change the negative losing mentality at this club its like a cancer that needs to be cut out! so lets get behind whoever is next to take the impossible job
