This squad should not be 14 points off the playoffs with 8 games still to play. It should not be closer to relegation than the playoffs. It should not be losing 5 games out of 6. It should not be taking 12 points from 15 games. It should not be playing the most tedious garbage witnessed at Ashton Gate since Tony Pulis. It should not be playing a style of football so dreadful that it’s made Tommy Conway next to useless. This pitiful excuse of a manager needs to be removed and the two people involved in sacking Nigel Pearson and bringing him in need to also leave.

There can’t be anything more painfully Liam Manning than deciding at 2-0 down with five minutes to go, to make the bold and brave decision to take off a right back and left back and bring on.. a right back and a left back.

Come on I believe in you, one post without chatting utter shit about Nigel Pearson, I reckon you can do it.

Come on, be honest, troll or moron?

What a good little customer.

RIP Forever in our hearts. Will never forget the free pair of shorts I managed to get with my points.

Well if anyone was in doubt the image of the inspirational figure Liam Manning front and centre should convince them.

Such a weird football club.

How on earth have we gone from Richard Gould and Nigel Pearson to Jon Lansdown, Brian Tinnion and Liam Manning. I mean I know the answer, he lives in Guernsey, but still. What a ******* dumb football club.

Just another extremely odd moment in an extremely odd afternoon at Ashton Gate. Increasingly becoming more and more of an odd football club to be honest.

Win a game while having the majority of possession, something he hasn’t managed yet.

I said during the second half yesterday (before he scored), forget his quality defensively he’s our best and most progressive passer of the ball and to be honest if I was having to bet on a city player most likely to score I’d also go for him. Excellent signing. When you consider how much money was wasted on absolute crap under Johnson and Ashton both Dickie and Sykes are two of our best bits of business in a long time.

Dont know how we settle that bet.

Fair play it’s a cracking argument, looked round Ashton Gate today and your take is ‘yeah this club should have less fans I reckon’.

Absolutely no issue with fans booing, Absolutely no issue with Williams taking exception to it.

Sorry we now have to credit the manager for bringing on Mark Sykes for Harry Cornick? A substitution that surely 99% of the fans wouldn’t have had to make as we’d have all started our most effective attacking player rather than brining him on after 56 minutes.

I posted on here last weekend after the Cardiff that we could have got a corner, Dickie could have scored, we win 1-0 and it changes nothing. Well today we did, and it changes nothing. This manager and his passion killing football need to leave this club as soon as possible. In the next few weeks (probably tomorrow now that we’ve won a game) we’re going to be asked to part with how ever many hundreds of pounds to suffer that dreadful football. Have a look around the ground today, that’s what is going to happen if we continue to be served up the worst football since Tony Pulis.

What a dreadful game of football. How would either of those teams ever score goal from open play. Somethings gone wrong with football somewhere.

Could well be more police around the ground than fans at the moment.

Can’t judge something on one game, but I didn’t think it was a coincidence that Ipswich got much better on Tuesday after he went off.

I remember watching that and feeling so positive about the direction the club was going in and had complete trust in Pearson and Gould. Couldn’t feel any more different now if I tried.

As you say, it’s not the worst thing about him and obviously it doesn’t matter, and fair play I can’t stand it, so clearly not I'm not the target audience, but why on earth did he feel the need to do it after a 1-1 draw at West Ham. My word, this club really enjoys acting seriously smalltime.

Without any doubt the most hostile Ashton Gate has been towards our own team in a long time. As weird as it sounds you could almost tell at 0-0 that people were waiting for the chance to vent. Good feeling in the ground though. I am absolutely no lover of the Lansdowns, Liam Manning or (sadly, these days) Brian Tinnion, but judging from almost all of the people sat near me I’m actually less angry about this than all of them, I’d recommended Brian Tinnion comes and sits near me if he believes there’s a good feeling in the ground at the moment.

I know I’m repeating myself but I really do feel that I have to reiterate just how much respect I have for those of you that put yourselves through watching a Liam Manning press conference. Genuinely I struggle to make it through the couple of minutes long interview post game in one sitting. What an inspirational character, my god you’d run through a brick wall for him wouldn’t you. Cant wait for the absolutely wild atmosphere tomorrow at Ashton Gate that his management creates.

The only problem with criticising Duckett for getting out playing a dreadful shot is that the guy has literally no defence. I’m only slightly tongue in cheek when I say he should attack every single ball as like I said, he has no defence. The risk of him playing a defensive shot is no lower and obviously there’s no potential reward. I don’t particularly enjoy this binary view that ‘Bazball’ brings out in people, but of all the maddest most cult like nonsense that’s been spouted from that dressing room surely the claim that they wouldn’t pick Alastair Cook if he was still playing is the most offensive.
