Why was Thornton on the bench again?

[Chesney Christ]

This really is getting a little ludicrous. If he has an attitude problem or something, surely he would be leaving him out of the squad altogether...?

 

[Flavor Flav]

'cos Adams doesn't have a f***ing clue

Thats why Adams wants to keep him when his loan finishes

 

[Djmiles]

His talent would be wasted on this team. If Thornton were to put the ball in the box 20 times, you can bet your life we would waste all 20.

Because he isn't fit enough to start. He hasn't even been playing reserve games for Coventry.

Eh?

 

[vitusvivi]

i'll tell you why... because Adams has to play all his little favorates

 

[Chesney Christ]

Because he isn't fit enough to start. He hasn't even been playing reserve games for Coventry.

He was fit enough to absolutely run the game against Cheltenham though. Take it you weren't there?

 

[ali jenkins]

Adams said in the Argue the other day that Coventry's reserve team aren't in a league so they only play friendlies so he isnt quite match fit.

Im guessing after having 3/4 good games for the Albion his fitness is struggling with the demands of playing everyweek and sometimes midweek?

 

[Chesney Christ]

So, he went from being match fit against Cheltenham - where he was OUTSTANDING - to not match fit every week after that? Bizarre.

 

[Foolg]

Perhaps he was put in the cheltenham side, and Micky realised that he was not fit enough to carry on starting. As someone said, coventry dont have a competitive reserve side so he has rarely played.

 

[cjd]

How match -fit do you get, sitting on the bench...?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Thornton and Cox should both start the next match. We need some creative flair.

 

[Taybha]

i Dunno,but the sooner he starts a game with mcleod and robinson the better,whats the point of loaning a player of obvious quality then leaving him on the bench,fooking mind tho tiny is starting to boggle.

 

[sir danny cullip]

Shocking decision, he came on today and absolutely ran the game for the time he was on the pitch. Danny Wilson was having some very animated discussions with others on the hartlepool bench and pointing at Thornton time and time again, they really couldn't deal with him. Why he started on the bench I don't know. Why were both livemore and fraser on the bench today and gargan only in the stands?! Given the injuries surely would have made sense to have a physical striker on the bench? I give up....if Thornton doesn't start Tuesday I will be amazed.

 

[RM-Taylor]

During the warm-up, he looked like he had special needs. Not meaning to cause offense to anyone at all, but he just didn't look remotely interested at all, that all changed when he came on though.

 

[Kneon Light]

We have needed a creative midfielder for ages. Now we have one we need to bloody well play him!

and of course Adams will never play anyone who isn't match fit tell that to Lynch who should be playing instead of Hawkins

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Shite decision, looked good when he came on though.
