West Bromwich Albion away match thread

We don’t have anything other than despair under Manning -

Ironic isn’t it? We sack a manager because he has failed in the eyes of the super twins, and yet the points achieved under said manager will save us from relegation. Think somehow the twins got it all the wrong way round. -

Poor poor goal to give away Very much doubt we can get back in this. -

Well thank goodness I won’t be around for the parade round the pitch in 25 years time -

Agreed. And We really need a goal scorer. -

Formation was kept, tackling was hard, helping teammates good, just one lapse and all the good is cancelled out. Personally think Conway should have done better with his chance Hey Ho on to tighter and more penetrative playin second 45. -

We will in all likelihood look confused! -
Put simply, what a mess we are in and no sign of a plan to get us out of it.

Tinnion interview It matters not that he has been here 30 years, or that Manning is trying really really hard. What matters is that they know what they are doing. Personally I remain unconvinced

I was hoping to make the long and very expensive journey to AshtonGate towards the end of the season to make sure I saw a Nige game, before his possible retirement. Sadly, will now not be wasting time and money in coming. Football is in the entertainment business, win or lose. As reported by those there today, we are far short of playing in a way that might encourage me to come.

Front foot reminds me of my favourite Terry Bush story. City are attacking and Bush has the ball He should shoot but doesn’t. A fan shouts out put it on your left foot Another fan shouts in reply, Bush still hesitating, he’s trying to work out which is his left foot. I think the current players are trying to work out which is their front foot

A win is a win Three points nearer safety But Manning remains Manning And that remains a huge problem

Swansea City at home match thread

Perhaps behaviour shift at halftime, ie players decide to take matters into their own hands and ignore head Coach -

All very odd, do I see the hand of Tinnion in this? -
Points per game and League table since Manning took charge
Ivorguy replied to Mr Popodopolous's topic in Football Chat
I do wonder what the interview selection process looked like. Did they ask Manning what his tactical approach would be? Did they ask him what timescale he thought it would take to get the team to change? Did they ask him what Plan B was in the middle of a game if the team was struggling? Did they ask him his policy re the bench and blooding youngsters? Did they talk to the club captain about the new tactical approach and ask him about possible players’ reactions and timescale for adaptation? Did they ask King re new approaches to coaching, given that he is both in first team squad and on coaching side of things? Finally, I wonder when was the last time JL and BT did any training re interview techniques and good practice. -
No, it should have been seen that Bridges and Stewart were well down the wrong side of the hill.

Warnock stays on.... Now gone again
Ivorguy replied to Dastardly and Muttley's topic in Football Chat
And that is a part of our problem -
Rotherham are down but in name. That leaves two places to go. Suspect Huddersfield won’t make it, but suspect Sheffield will. So we do need a win tomorrow so as we can breathe more easily. What worries me most, other than our failure in front of goal, are the things coming from Manning. Thus my message to the players in front of a home crowd is: PLAY FOR THE SHIRT, and give everyone something to get behind. Hope in that context James may be fit enough.

How on earth can we know which BCFC will turn up on Sunday?
Ivorguy replied to Clutton Caveman's topic in Football Chat
After Manning’sPress Conference I have an awful feeling I know the answer -
He is not the manager. He is the Head Coach of the first team

Just love your use of the word ‘somewhat’ -
If you remember back to when Nige arrived he expressed concern about players’ fitness. We seem to be slipping back into old ways under Manning. I really don’t like the sidelining of the Academy players under Manning. Worried re summer recruitment, as should he still be here, god forbid; will we recruit, as in the recent past, too many have been’s and never will be’s.
