Thorup had us very well coached this time last year

But from qpr away onwards, it went to s**t. Our neat play started to be overcome by weakness elsewhere.

And then the downing of tools at the end of last season was dreadful.

I think JHT is a very good coach, but I’m doubtful as to his ability to deal with the man management side of things.

So I don’t share your view that we bombed that off too soon. I also don’t think he’d be doing better now with the side available to him.

However, I also don’t think manning is going very well.

What we really need is a lambert style motivator with a coach like JHT in the back room staff that can get the players well drilled and playing good stuff.

Not too much to ask for, is it?
