I agree, let's have a sticky thread so they can all go over the same old over & over & over again.
again you can't have a sticky for everything you don't agree with
Don't want one for everything I don't agree with
Just want one for all the boring repetitive crap that comes out again and again and again and again and ....
Sarcasm? Surely?
No it's not sarcasm but it is not thought through either. What is very apparent is that everyone obviously see the board and it's cost cutting as the main problem (which is not a point of debate). With the selling of players in the summer no-one expected anything other than a relegation struggle. However, what is now equally apparant is that certain fans are incapable of crticising Thorn as for some reason they see this as supporting SISU or, more likely, it means a small percentage of blame is apportioned to something OTHER than SISU. That some people cannot have, they seem concerned that if any critiscm towards the manager is somehow deflecting from the main aim of getting rid of the board.
This is why you get comments like he is the best manager ever, no manager in the world could improve our position by one solitary point and an over-hype of his ability. It is ludicrous to say he gets everything wrong, sure, but it is equally absurd to suggest he never makes mistakes and cannot influence games at all. It is mainly supporters of Thorn who are quick to gloat on days we win (rare) and say this is down to Thorn but vehemently defend him in defeat with the usual "give him a medal" "no-one in the world can do better" "it's SISU's fault" comments. Can't have it both ways if he can't influence us in defeat then he can't be credited in victory. Of course he can and should in relevant measures for both situations.
Real truth anyway is that Coventry fans (not the Board) are very apathetic towards managers anyway. Whatever people say or text through the local media the supporters in the ground never turned on Boothroyd or Coleman in the ground (only once for Coleman perhaps in that final debacle with Marcus Hall). Even Adams never had it in the neck and Dowie certainly didn't. Reid possibly but that was circumstance. So given that it's not that surprising but people accuse me of lack of balance when the majority of them look at the situation with one eye closed and the other firmly on one side only.

When Thorn makes a game changing decision like many of the ones that have gone against us, I would be the first person to say Good Job! I can't remember him making a change and us winning 2-1 after being 1-0 down though?

Who do we have of the quality to change a game that late? This is what the difference of having a team that can compete and a squad that can compete. Look at the quality of the players Blackpool had on the bench. If they were at our club they would have played from the start.

What about changing tactics and spotting weaknesses and exploiting them? You seem obsessed by Blackburn's bench?
Blackburn?

I was at the game last night and i thought there was no real need for change at 1-0. Swapping a defender deep into the game is an incredibly stupid move (think it was fulham, defender comes on, concedes before even touching the ball). There wern't any subs we could realistically make, Bell & Baker are attacking midfielders and Eastwood is unfit.
The defeat was not Thorn's fault, but the defenders playing too deep & Blackpool being able to bring on Fleck, Phillips and Bednar, all of whom would walk into our team.
What could we have done?So another team go 4 up front with fresh legs and we shouldn't change anything at all?
What could we have done?
Nonleague - why do you think we concede so many late goals then?
I've heard the argument that it was inxpereince players yet last night the vast majority of players were experienced.
I've heard no fitness coach yet apparently we do have one.
I've heard because of blackpools depth on the bench. Fair enough BUT other teams manage to hold onto leads depsite having a feeble bench.
Why do you think? Be interested to hear your answer.
Who is the fitness coach then? Certainly don't remember news of one being appointed.
Here you go!
Do they usually announce staff like that? I thought it was only usually Managers and Assistant Managers. Betty the Tealady might have gone too.
