    Didn't know a youngsters loan to Bath would cause such carnage.
  2. So we didn't have a plan B for Southampton? We didn't want it more than them? We didn't show any aggression/emotion when we played one of the best teams in the division? I agree that we need to work on beating the teams the set up like QPR however you never look at the other side of the coin when assessing Manning's performance. That issue is not indicative of just Manning's tenure, that was equally frustrating when NP was managing us. We've had that issue for ages. Whether that's due to the young makeup of the team or some other reason we struggle with that element of breaking teams down, we also struggle with overall game management. I'm not acknowledging it's not an issue but let's not pretend this is a new thing.
  3. Yeah so you should be clocking off soon surely. What do they pay after 6pm? Time and half I'm guessing.
  4. You said Pearsons name 14 times in that post.
  5. Thanks for proving the point. Like I said some are as paranoid as the gas of 'ted' infiltration on gaschat. It's very weird.
  6. Summary of this topic. We have a mid table squad yet because the ownership stupidly said we were a top 6 squad (almost everyone disagrees with this) to justify sacking Nigel. Now we're achieving mid table we keep getting Pearson/Manning who would have done better discussions. We are bang average. I'm not sure either manager would squeeze much more out of the squad. If so marginally. Either way it's sort of a non point because we can't just restart again with a new manager and then recycle the discussion. This definitely isn't the elephant in the room it's literally discussed every 5 minutes in this forum.
  7. Don't worry just ignore it. Every new user on here who isn't wholly negative is called a BS employee. Unfortunately this place resembles the paranoia of gaschat when they accuse everyone of being a city fan.
  8. We are such a frustrating team. QPR are poor and we've more than matched that crap level.
  9. Think this is the issue. I see this not only when we score. We also struggle to cope initially after the restart from half time. I sort of dread that 5/10 minutes post goal or half time.
  10. Yeah fair. I guess as others have discussed it's whether you'd want pace and power vs technique and control in the final third. I think I could see both playing in either position and compliment each other fine.
  11. I'm really looking forward to seeing how we get on tomorrow. It's a different challenge and this will change how we set up. We need to be on it regardless. It's probably the first game I'm actually stumped on what my line up would be i.e First with the return of Twine and Sykes, Cornick having positive impacts recently, Mehmeti showing more what he can do, Bell ect. Even the Tanner/McCrorie competition. Midfield has plenty of options I'd be more than happy with. I even want to see more of Dire too. I'd say its only the centre backs that are guaranteed and that's not a bad thing. I know after a couple of wins things always look better but credit where credits due I really like the look of the squad right now and I think we've recruited really and I think there is much more to come. Hopefully we can kick on tomorrow and put in a good performance to build on and get some consistency.
  12. Can't believe the negative comments about attitude because a professional footballer wants to go play games and doesn't just want to wait for city to provide those games. He clearly saw the form Prings been in and after missing time with injury wanted to play in anyway possible. Seems like a driven player and that's exactly what we need at this club. Just because he didn't say the typical 'loved every minute of it here so far' and all the typical footballer responses doesn't mean he doesn't care. I actually prefer his honesty it's quite refreshing. I remember watching clips before he joined and could see the quality he has. Was really optimistic on his progress this season. I'm happy he's getting his chance to shine. It will be a difficult time with Prings return. Perhaps as others have said maybe Roberts LB and Pring LM would be a good option in a 442 for some games.
  13. Come off it now. It's not that bad. Posters say more petty stuff on here daily. He's had about 20 replies where he's been called a ****, bell end ect and even calling for a ban! Many of those replies haven't even contributed to what the OP has said i.e credit to Manning. Let's move past this now.
  14. Seagull has taken out the electricity pylon.
  15. Massive credit to the players to stick to the game plan and carry it out. Manning set out that plan and it beat a team that hasn't lost since September. A huge amount of credit should be going his way for this result.
  16. Depends on how severe it is. Weeks or months. However, even if it is a strain I think due to the amount of injuries he's had I'd be surprised he makes any first team minutes this season.
  17. Would make sense for him to get an issue with his hamstring. Especially after his ACL. Hopefully he can get past this eventually.
  18. I do get that. Just can't really remember a time we have had this availability. Will be strange leaving senior players out of the match day squad. At our worst this season we had a bench with two GKs Thomas and Bajic, Nelson, Joseph James, Idehen, Knight-Lebel, Backwell and Yeboah.
  19. Going to be real strength in depth soon with the return of Twine, Atkinson, Sykes and Naismith. The only potential spot available on the subs bench is Knight-Lebels who can return to the 21s.
  20. Most other teams I would completely agree but we've got to make the lack of possession work for us in my opinion. They are so strong down the wings and if we keep a back 4 we may score but I just think they'll score 3 or 4.
  21. They've not lost since September. We will be parked in our half for most of the game. Can see us going to a back 3/5. Think we need as many big lads as possible to play for set pieces. Shame we don't have Atkinson and Twine fit. Wouldn't mind seeing Cornick in the team to set up for a counter.
  22. Idiot, those lot were doing it before and for free!
  23. We'll see if you do. I'm not convinced. Also why would they have they have a recap of a season that is mid way through?
  24. Haha that old chestnut.. you must work for BS. You really do have a repeat switch. Sorry I forgot your working hard constantly on here to hold the club to account aren't you? You don't attend fan meetings, you don't vote with your feet but your posting on here. How's that going? Can you be more specific on what information you are lacking currently from the club asides from half time tactics?
