When people said they look like good players wasn't everyone claiming they were Shaws and Carsleys signing as well. Now they have had a few poor games they are Thorns again?
No there were definitely those saying Shaw, Carsley an Thorn all compiled the short list of players for Waggott to sign when people were saying they looked like good players and we don't know who contributed what names to the listI don't recall anyone claiming they were Shaws' and Carsley's signings as well.
Always thought the assumption was that they were Thorn's.
Still early yet of course, but skills they may have, at the moment though, appetite for a fight they seems to lack.
All the attributes I wanted to see in players coming to this club seem to be rather lacking and it's okay pointing to the Brum game, but that was a one off. That performance aside we have faltered badly in games.
any team can raise their game for the day. this is how you get Exeter City holding Man U at Old Trafford in the cup. They can't do it on a consistent basis though cos they're not good enough to do so and that is why they are leagues apart.

Now they had a few bad games they are Thorns legacy
I agree as a team we lack desire and commitment, this is a mental thing and hopefully with the right manager an match preparation it can change. If not take them out and play someone else.
Be fair, the opening post is provocative and bound to annoy, especially after today as are other posts laughing at Shaws win ratio and saying you get what you wish for.
Northampton town were 6 points from safety when they appointed someone last season and now are 1 place off the play offs.
If we are looking at mistakes I think we need to start there.
The person who started the thread you mean?
People, including yourself, gave AT the nickname of the 'clueless one' claiming anyone could do better etc. we've sacked him and lost our last 2 games... What I'm saying, he can't be that clueless obviously.
Tbh, sacking Thorn was right, but I never thought he was 'clueless'
The majority of people felt he needed to 10 games before judging him.
Not sure how anyone could say it was right after a win and three draws, only one of which was an unacceptable result.

And you follow it up with saying we shouldn't have sacked the hoofball merchant who was taking us down! Good to see that the intellectual standard is still rising around here. It very comforting.

....and there is no proof that Boothroyd would have taken us down.
Boothroyd will always be ten times the manager of Thorn.
But it wasn't just 3 games was it? As ATP were happy to point out, he had the worst win % as a CCFC manager, (this might not be entirely true) but apparently the worst a manager had done in the post WW2 period.
I was in the give him 10 games camp, but I expected him to fail after that.
only a dick could believe thorn is better than boothroyd.
My reply was aimed at the OP and not you, Rev.
I am a Dick and I imagine there are many others.
Shit football and relegation or better football weaker squad relegation
For all the poor quality football you have to say Boothroyd looks 10 times the manager Thorn has been.
your assuming we would have got relegated under boothroyd which is kinda dumb.
Must be kinda dumb then..... Maybe we were heading for the play offs really....
Ten times? I'd be interested to look at the formula.
Would you get him in if you owned northampton?
They can wait till they go on a 17 match run without a win and draft him in to win 1 in 3 with the same bunch of players. Save their arses, then sell those players and pull the rug from under his feet. It should come I. The second half of the season on bothroyds past three clubs.
Something to do with predictable long ball football
What Colchester and Watford both went on 17 match winless runs?
Didn't answer the question by the way - would you if in charge sack him and get Thorn in?
