Very good performance. Hopefully we can end strong and improve in the summer. 

If we can play like that most week, I feel most fans would be happy.

She is clearly no better or worse than most referees but people like to push agendas nowadays,if the ref was Dave from Dundee then the OP wouldn’t be starting a thread 

I'm pretty sure I started one earlier in the season about a male ref having a good game. No agenda from me.

I stand by it. Just because we have bad results dont mean I have changed my view. I will leave that to half the idiots on here who change their view result by result.

Should be. He is not the right fit for us. He is not the right guy to take us forward. 

You are not the right fit to be a supporter of Bristol City in my opinion and should watch another Bristol based football team.

This is a bit of incoherent are you saying we should be promoted because Luton got up?  Ipswich have gambled and are falling away my bet is they end up in the playoffs if they're lucky in May. 

I've never said we should be promoted.

I've clearly said that we are not good enough to be top 6 but from the boards perspective they see teams like luton, Ipswich, Millwall last season etc doing well and think that we should be there as well.

If you have read the comments more in depth you will realise it's not just Manning but more around what he has had to inherit. OK good cup run that gets us all soft and loving feelings, but the performances are inconsistent in the league. If we string a good run together and by easter we are only 2 or3 points out of the top six, then those negative comments will disappear from the forum.

The poor guy has to work with what he has got on hand, and to be fair he is doing quite a good job. We all know that the transfer time in January did not bring great results. I do not know if you can blame this on Manning, but I suspect the board are responsible for this.

I suggest let's sit back and see what eventuates over the next 6 to 8 matches as if we can get 4 x wins out of these and the odd draw we will be in with a shout.

Agree

Look at the Leeds game last week. Leeds played us off the park yes but their squad is worth 4 or 5 times ours with players that are Prem quality and currently playing very well. The amount of flack that was aimed at Mannjng was a joke imo. Some of our fans have such a sense if entitlement and lack the ability to reason.

Surely you can see that this is the main gripe many people had with the decision? We were in touch with the top 6 when Pearson was sacked.

Ive never been angry with Manning, I really want him to do well. My issue was with the timing and the fact that Pearson could’ve been backed more in the Summer after the sale of Scott.

I can guarantee you that every City fan unhappy with the way Pearson was treated still wants Manning to succeed. No City fan wants City to lose.

Yes we were but we never imo looked like a team that could get top 6 even without the injuries. The table is a weird one this season with the top 4 miles ahead and then a lot of average teams fighting it out for the last spots.

He's generally been given the benefit of the doubt, but he's not beyond criticism.

Maybe you're conflating general distain for the hierarchy over the sacking of Pearson with criticism of Manning.  For example ripping a performance as not top six is not a dig at Manning it's aimed at the hierarchy.  

Like I've said previously, I would not have sacked NP when they did ( plenty of times over the last couple of seasons I might have done).

I think those in charge have a completely different view of our squad than we do. However I would not say Luton or Ipswich have better teams or squads than us this season and last season and a few of the other teams that made the play offs were at best the same level of ability as us.

Back from Middlesbrough, and check in here expecting to find some happiness and some positivity after a great day…and what do I find? Just two new post match threads: one seemingly designed to provoke an argument, and the other headed “…..But”

Come on.

We’ve got a result no-one really expected for the second time in 4 days. We’ve romped to a two goal lead playing some great football, and then defended that lead successfully, only conceding one lucky-ish goal in injury time. We’ve done that after playing 120 minutes at a PL side only 4 days earlier, whilst Middlesbrough had a free week.

And, R####s lost at home.

Let’s just celebrate. Well done lads!

(And thanks @Olé for bringing a bit of positivity!) 

It does feel like some don't want City to win as it goes against their poor perception of Manning and the club. 

It's like City losing justifies their opinion and so they must find negatives if we do well to counter the win/performance.

I know the league form and results have been sketchy at best however, our cup performances have really looked good. If Manning can replicate those performances in the league we will do well. 

Though reading a lot of comments on here about being out of hid depth, he won't see the season out, how long till he gets sacked. These are all comments I have read this week.

Again being “pissed off” frustrated etc is pretty normal and I’m sure as a football fan you’ll have felt that way yourself, it doesn’t mean you up sticks and change allegiance. 

At 51 years old I struggle to change my socks these days.

Without resorting to personal abuse, @BS3_RED stated “if watching City pisses you off this much you can go and watch the gas, you won’t be missed” thereby stating that anyone against his/her post was a rovers fan. Life is a bit more nuanced than that! @IdliketoRogerMoore was clearly being sarcastic, but that nuance was lost.So far from me needing to “learn to read” or others being “idiots”, it might be appropriate, y’know, not to be a dick in the opening post?

"If watching City really pisses you off that much, you can always go and watch the sags. You wont be missed."

That is not calling anyone a sag. Just saying that there is another option locally to watch football if watching City pisses someone off that much.

Have you sobered up now BTW?

Yep but the post stands as written. 

IMO Manning has taken a huge amount of flack on here. It's easy to see if you pay attention ( not a dig).

Yes he is trying to find the teams style and identity and it's a little hit and miss atm but he needs time.

We are safe this season, NP has gone and nothing can change that. I personally ( as I have commented on several occasions) don't think the football was any better under NP ( how many games did we throw away in injury time from sitting back?) 

Yes there were some signs of improvement this year but I really think the board had made their decision about letting him go back before the summer ( lack of transfer support would indicate this) and once made I dont think they were ever going to go back on it.

This is the most bollocks argument ever. 

Someone disagrees with you - they must be gas!

You clearly care, and that’s laudable. But your methodology of making your point is absolutely ridiculous. Hes not gas. Hes just reacting to a frankly ridiculous post.

Dude, he called me gas ffs. Learn to read.
