I think Manning is completely out his depth. Never managed at this level and limited managerial experience.

Hope Junior and the Teknikal director are happy with their actions 

Great opportunist goal. Excellent

I‘m definitely not writing him off but I’ve never ever seen a player be so consistently crap.  

Diony, Dining?

EEK! The action keeps freezing. Is it the same for everyone, or just me?

Fine for me

Hmm,, will have to wait and see, 2 weeks turns into 2 months with our lot these days

And it says likely to be two weeks.

So it's very much wait and see.

Looking at that list it seems the game is not being beamed into Australia or New Zealand.

Bein sports 2, certainly in Oz

Booking fee for this one, but not for WHU

All a bit random

You make it seem a lot better than it was to watch on Robin's TV

Totally agree . There’s stewards there to imform the paramedics . Why is the game stopped. 
I can remember years ago as a kid being stood in the east end . There was the obligatory marching band walking up & down the pitch . One of them collapsed & died. He got stretchered off , the players came out & played.
obviously it’s sad if someone died at the game at Bolton but , life goes on . Apologies if I come across as insensitive  

Home game v Nottingham Forest for the return leg of the 1988/89 League Cup. It was surreal. The band kept marching while the poor guy was lead on the pitch.

Hope he gets ripped a new one. Unlike the H @ C when all people did was blow smoke up their asses. As a fan base we are soft as ****. 

Well junior Lansdown had the same gig in December and was made to feel a bit uncomfortable. I would think BT can expect a similar reception. Unless we beat WHU of course.

He's down to be the guest speaker at Thursday's Senior Red!

Celebrating a rare win

I don't know what people are seeing, but PNE look every bit as likely to score we do

Me too. No problem fortunately 

Ditto, mid morning transaction went straight through and no admin fee.

Thanks @Frenchay Red

I was there for that match. Biggest crowd at Ashton Gate in my lifetime of 42,594.

I went to BGS and we had lessons on Saturday mornings. Our Form Master gave three of us an early end to school because we had tickets.

And one more for Red Alligator. Wally Hinshelwood played 149 games for City so a significant part of our history.

I just looked up the date. 24/1/59

I was 10 and peering through the railings in the covered end, with my parents stood behind me. Hope today's youngsters hang on to their special memories.

When I was a young lad Wally was my favourite player. I remember him being outstanding when we played Blackpool in the cup and the great Stanley Matthews was playing. Distant fond memories.

In Perth WA at the moment. Glad I woke up at 5am to see how we were doing. Went from 2-1 down to 3-2 win. Excellent result

Last time I was in Perth was circa 1975 and Deep Purple were doing a concert. Only other times were just passing through the airport. Most of my time there was living in SA, NT & QLD.  Anyway, have a great trip.

Son used to live in QLD. Terrible floods there at the moment.

Glad he's moved to WA!

Daughter lives in Mandurah so our time split between them.

I'm back for the Millwall game

Where in Oz ?

Perth area 

A Christmas first for us. Visited family in Oz many times but not in December. So will be lobster, giant prawns, turkey wings, glazed ham and various salad selections. Very much an outdoor Christmas

Everyone will be happy and content given the top 6 food budget.

Ha! Food's usually quite good and it's a good social occasion for older reds to reflect on perpetual disappointment and continuing poor decisions by the owner.

I don't recall people praising club comms? Wasn't it more like "finally, we hear from them..."

But yeah, you're right that we won't hear from the board for good while now. Unless we go on a cup run!

JL is supposed to be the guest speaker at Senior Reds Christmas lunch today.

I'm in Oz at the moment so will miss his words of wisdom regarding our promotion push.

I suspect that Manning thinks he's cleverer than he really is.

Repeatedly squandering points, some of which I have no doubt Nige would have secured.

We have replaced a very experienced managerial team with a wealth of knowledge, and who were making steady progress, with a bunch of inexperienced newbies at this level.

Manning is trying to change the playing style and consequently is undoing the strengths and team spirit created by his predecessors.

Could turn out to be an almighty blunder from JL and his henchmen.
