Sandhurst Red

In desperate need of 2 tickets if anyone has spare or can't attend? Never expected this to be a sell out and am taking some friends and was going to do POTD. Amazed to find all tickets sold for a nothing match.... Any help most appreciated.

If they lose their next 2 - Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth they are in big trouble. You could argue Southampton will be out of contention for automatic by then (if not already) so may rest a few players, meaning they could need 3 points final day. Probably shouldn't say, but if that were the case, I'd go to an away game I wasn't intending to do. Is it wrong to take joy from others misery?

More nonsense spouted by yourself. For what it is worth, I log-in most days. Not all of us are so attention seeking as yourself and feel the need to comment (negatively) on every little thing. You seem to despise the new boss, team, philosophy, owners, burger van, tea lady - anything connected to this club. Would it not make sense to go and do/support something else. Negativity breeds negativity and though a forum should be about openly challenging views, the biased agenda you have is just depressing.

Oh my. The irony from you of all people.

Do some forget that NP was given more time than many managers at other clubs would have been allowed? On 2 occasions there were consistent calls from the fanbase he should go... And yet he was stuck by; until the 3rd time. Irrespective of the fact he was doing a rebuilding phase during some of this period, the lack of consistency was alarming. Also, so many seem to forget the football was woeful to watch at times. I struggle to understand some of our fans who have allowed Manning less than 20% of the time NP had and yet want him gone. Give the bloke at least a preseason and the first 15 matches of the 24/25 season to judge him.

Nothing else to add. Can't be any worse than Kitchen v Leicester surely?

It's getting even worse for Reading - even more than Wycombe buying their training ground today. I know a few folk connected to the club and they had auditors there today, looking for any assets. They are even considering dismantling part of the ground and selling off seats and rails as assets. That's how bad it has got. Many locally think they will not be around in 3 weeks time. The inevitable is going to happen. And to think Dai Young is worth an apparent £17 Billion.... this is just spiteful to the EFL, who I must add should be held accountable for this and allowing him the opportunity to even do it. The bloke was rejected once with Hull and then swindled his way into Reading. Reading are an awful club in may respects, with an awful matchday experience, and some of the most plastic fans you could find - they have simply vanished as a fanbase since they left the Prem. That said, their most loyal fans don't deserve this. It outline so much of what is wrong with modern football. Not defending some of what has, and is happening at BS3, but those that crucify the Lansdown's would do well to see what happens when you don't have that support and then sell to the wrong person.

Another 'look at me, look at me' post. Simply put - Bore off. If you don't like it, don't go. Stop making yourself out that you're important. This place has become so negative and poisoned, and irrespective of the football, it's down to the attitude of the posters. Yes today was poor. And yes we've not been great recently, but give Manning a chance. We saw far worse games under Pearson.

Am about to drive from Berkshire, and people moaning in Bristol, saying can't get the car out etc. Spoken to a few local friends and what is being shown on here is hysteria at it's finest. What has happened to this country? The term snowflake has never been more apt. Just drive carefully where there is snow and you'll be fine. Talk of canceling a game due to a bit of snow.. give your heads a wobble.

You've summed up perfectly my feelings. Mahomes just has the ability to do something other QBs can't. Unless the 49ers are 10+ ahead going into Q4, the outcome will be a Chiefs win. The recent experience for around 12 of their squad having done 3+ Superbowl's will be telling and help settle the other players, who often just get overwhelmed by the whole occasion. And if down at HT, the Chiefs and Reid are arguably the best at making adjustments, and so with a longer break due to the show, watch them come out flying in Q3. Chiefs by 7, after being behind at HT.

A few folks were ejected and led out in the away end last night at Half Time - when I queried it with the steward closest to me, he said they had been seen snorting white powder on CCTV. The mind really does boggle.

Oxford and now Derby - niggle games due to player trading. Bit like I hope we batter Ballmuff next time we get the pleasure to visit their little crappy place. They still wind me up, as many in the media suggest they got into the premier league via hard work and a romance of good investment. The reality is that they went all in - Promotion or major FFP breaches and go backwards 10 years. They got lucky. Wish it had badly backfired on them, and the Russian funding was properly reviewed.

But he would not be free in the summer. A tribunal would set a fee and we could lose out to another club. If he was a big summer target and we've got it done in Feb, smart business TBH. I agree that the scenario that could play out, where he gets Derby promoted into the league of the club he is about to join, and he still then departs his childhood club, would be odd and almost unprecedented. But then, maybe he wants to try something new and we are offering better contractual terms. If I was a Derby fan, or if a player did that to us - I would be very bemused. However, for us, a great signing.

100% This. Both show flashes of good play. But both lack serious consistency for Championship level. Fine for squad players, but both shouldn't be starting. Hopefully Bell has time and development on his side, but Mehmeti, seems to lack the require football intelligence to make it at this level. You can see the player he wants to be, but his decision making is just terrible. Hopefully Manning and Hogg can educate him, and we see the player he has the potential to be.

I respect anyone's opinion on a forum - that is what they are for. To constructively agree and disagree on topics. HOWEVER... on this occasion, I can't disagree any further. I would even go as far as saying he is our player of the season so far. You are correct in identifying the critical nature of this role - but I would say his performances to date, his contribution with goals and assists have been a real stand out for the season. At times I feel his is playing a non-natural role, due to his versatility, and that may go against him. You must also remember he is only 22 - his output based on that age is above average and in the off-season I fully expect Matty James to move on, and Knight is the perfect replacement. When Knight was dropped from the starting line-up recently, we lost our shape entirely. I don't know if this is a Bristol City attribute, but for some reason we seem to always feel a need for a midfield scapegoat. Thinking back - Marlon Pack and Cole Skuse fill this void, and for some fans you only realise what they offered, when they have gone.
