This place is crazy. One win doesn’t change the fact he has been incredibly poor since being appointed. Today was good and if it carries on then brilliant, but we need consistency and we’ve been here before. Always expected us to win today, we always do in these types of games. 

We certainly don’t usually do well against top teams particularly a team as good as Leicester.

We’ve been poor in some games, average in others and very good in some, very much Bristol City of the last six years, the only difference for me is that we have played our good games against top sides which hasn’t been the norm over the years

Yeah the amount of people getting back in to bed again with Manning is wild to me. 

What I saw today was good, but that's the minimum expectation I have when watching this club. The vast majority of games this season have been well below this standard, I've seen enough. 

The vast majority of games in the last five years have been well below standard, Mannings had five months and his tenure is going from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again, as usual, it’s more consistency that’s needed because when we are good we are good and when we are bad we are very bad

Good win both, but Saints and Leicester both in shaky form when visiting. Played both at a good time.

You are a joker, Southampton we’re on an unbeaten run of 25 games, please give credit where credit is due, I know that’s very difficult for many on here

Agreed 100%, but like a lot of his mates though he seems to have gotten the golf bug and says it’s more of a social thing

I think it was just a saying people use and nothing to apologise for.

Respect to both you @TV Tom and @REDOXO

Cheers, I certainly didn’t mean to offend and it was said more in jest

A total bell end mate probs born with a silver spoon in his mouth a la junior

Never served myself but my son is currently a serving member of the armed forces and my respect for all who have done is 100%

There were no silver spoons in KW (unless they were nicked).

Seeing as you’ve asked I’ve had no time served in the armed forces but 40 years in mental health services and still counting helping others in the NHS, anyway, apologies to Redoxo for the insensitive and thoughtless remark, too many ciders yesterday is no excuse

My god, there’s some touchy sods on here, what’s this forum coming to?

For the first time ever will I not be going to a City game while being in the area!

As some know I am not always able to take up my seat due to a massive logistical disadvantage compared to most. But continue to keep a seat for myself and my nephew and watch every game home and away via BCTV ESPN et al 

Tomorrow I have given both of my seats to my cousin (yes they are City supporters) as I simply can’t watch what is passing as football at AG at the moment and simply need a week off!

Tomorrow myself and another regular poster will be going to FGR. The plan being to get there in time to watch the city game (yes I’m still a glutton for punishment despite my protestations) 

Hopefully staying away is the catalyst for a run of results and I can start to see my way clear to renew (I got an email about that today)

Ill update regarding the Vegan pies, how the gaps in the ground look on tv and SCs (blessings be upon him) chances of keeping them up!

COYRs! 

I wouldn’t want you in the trenches

A bit player at Liverpool but yet another “ordinary” player that Clough made look world class at Forest

It should be, but it won't be.  I'm afraid we will be stuck with the cockwomble for the duration.

Sell all our best players, replace them with dross then sack an experienced manager who had the support of the fans and replace him with someone clearly way out of his depth.  Well that's a £1,000 worth of season tickets that won't be renewing here - and how many others are feeling the same.

The club is going backwards and I can't see any signs of this changing for the foreseeable.

Who are the ‘dross’ players that Pearson signed that you are referring to?

Stories like this are truly awful, dread to think how the family are coping

What part of the ground do you want

There were only Lansdown tickets left, he’s playing golf now instead!!!!

I've still two available in W13, £30 for both tickets 

Don't really want to sell separately 

That's the Lansdown adult price 

Cheers phantom, not needed now

My son looked at buying a ticket today, decided not to bother at £45 a pop

That's daft though, it's not what any of us would actually say in that situation though is it? We're talking with hindsight, and based on the perceived aims of the club at the start of the year.

At the end of the day everyone here is on about relative success (which is what success is to most people 90% of the time). You're just sticking to your guns that success is absolute which is fine, if that's really how you want to see it.

To most of us, if you are predicted 22nd and finish 4th, and you end up better off talent-wise and financially, with a better platform for the next year, that's a success. Progression can be success. It doesn't mean you're any less ambitious.

I wouldn’t waste your time with this guy if I were you

I think you’re probably thinking Scunthorpe in one of Trundles early games. IIRC he scored two at the Atyeo end that day

Yes, GrahamC came back with the same stat, always thought it was Blackburn, two cracking goals 

1 minute ago, GrahamC said:

He never scored against Blackburn, reckon you’re thinking of the game I quoted.

You’re probably right, first half goals kicking towards the Atyeo

My recollection is having managed to get promotion with a strike force of free transfers (Jevons & Showunmi) we were shocked at the wage demand disparity with L1.

We went for 2 strikers (it might well have been Leon Best & Luke Varney, but not 100%, it was a long time ago now) & other clubs blew us out of the water & so very late in the summer we signed Trundle who was already 30 (31 that October) & had never played at that level.

He wasn’t quite good enough in truth & clearly his attitude wasn’t the best, but rather than a vanity signing I think we simply underestimated the gap.

Sensational season though, his contribution to it was minor but I’ll never forget the Palace goal.

Two crackers at home to Blackburn as well, I loved watching him play but there again I loved watching Tomlin play

He got the sack because he turned us into to a team that was going down. Losing 6 nil to Cardiff should have been the end of him here. 

Losing a play off final isn't a success. Getting us into the Championship was granted. 

 

Not quite my point, I don’t dispute that his time was up though after that Cardiff debacle

Can’t remember the last time I failed to complete wordle but unfortunately I don’t do it every day so don’t have a running total, my mrs is far more sophisticated and does “birdle” which I”m useless at

It’s crazy that there could be many that want tickets yet there are going to be thousands of empty seats

Struggle to see how anyone can say he wasn’t a success, but like 99% of managers he ended up getting the sack

Who us or England

Well obviously every manager we’ve had since Cotterill has been hopeless

Strong argument that the best players in La Liga and Bundesliga are both English. Not sure we've ever been able to say that before.

Plus a plethora of English talent in the Premier League.

Us and France will have the two best squads in the tournament this summer. 

But unfortunately we have a hopeless manager in charge

Are these any good John ?
