This thread isn’t good reading, pretty pissed off with Tinnion, so if true he has been instrumental in the sacking of Wilson and Pearson? 

Wilson was loved by fans from memory although looking back now if he would have sorted the drinking culture out I think we would have been promoted.

Pearson completely turns the club around, makes the Lansdowns lots of money by progressing some youth players (although I guess he had no choice) and is again loved by majority of the fans base.

Sounds like Tinnion gets a bit jealous to me

The Swansea game was the final nail in the coffin for me. 

I remember just sitting there thinking how incredibly shite it was. Yes we won but it was probably one of the worst games I've ever watched where we've won. 

Yeah same for many from memory but it was a must win. I would say though that the defeats to the bottom two Sheff Wed and QPR is what done it. Despite the two going on very good runs after they beat us it was seen as a wake up, after the boro and famous Southampton win .

No, I hate it all the time.

Fair enough mate, I guess from my point of view VAR whilst inconsistent at times also affects the big clubs sometimes which is something I don’t remember seeing as much before VAR.

I don’t care. Accept the element of human error to preserve the wonder of the game and the joy of the moment.

This is what happens when the rules matter more than the game.

It was a question as I’m not watching the game but surely if it’s the correct decision that’s why VAR was brought in for? 
 

Or do we pick and choose when VAR is crap based on our bias?

And if Manure had scored? 

It would be haha I guess

I really dislike Bruno Fernandes, his attitude this half has been an embarrassment. Come on Coventry 

He’s a tosser can’t stand him. Ferguson would never have kept a player like that around.

VAR ruins the great moments.

Was it the correct decision? 

I get their frustration, remember our lack of penalty decisions for two or three seasons where at the worst point we were the lowest side awarded penalties in Europe? for those three or four seasons bottom four or five in league for awarded penalties.

Pearson openly vented his frustration publicly and the response from everyone else was “You need to get the ball in the box more…” or it “evens out”. Well it didn’t but I guess we have had a bit more luck this season.

If was us I think we would be losing our shit too

Oh Russell, with all the resources you have

(sorry, I can’t help it, so up his arse, hope they miss out totally)

Fair play to Cardiff min, I was under the impression by the players they signed that they were financially hindered and brought in has beens.

Nahki only has good things to say about Manning:

The latest man in charge in BS3 may only be five years Wells’ senior but in the relatively short period he’s been in place, he’s certainly left an impression on the striker with his openness and willingness to try and improve each and every individual, irrrespctive of whether they’re 33 or 23.

“All managers are different, but what I would say, in working with the gaffer is, first and foremost, he’s a great person, he loves the game, he’s 100 per cent committed to his job and, us as players, he really gives you that feeling that he wants you to progress as player; whether you’re a 19-year-old coming through or an experienced player like myself, there’s always room for improvement,” Wells added.

“His door is open, you walk in to have a chat and next thing you know you’ve been in his office for an hour, you’ve been watching clips, you’ve spoken about things and that’s one of the biggest things that I can say is great about him, it’s continuously wanting to improve you as a player, improve the team, take zero shortcuts and has the way and a process at how he wants to do things and I think it’s coming to fruition, so hats off to him, he’s been a breath of fresh air since he’s been in with his ideas and his training methods.

Ok but he’s not going to say anything negative about him is he?

We've been battered into submission now by a clearly inept board who are lucky that results haven't been bad 

You know the Lansdowns and tinnion will always think that our opinion is worthless. We will most likely beat our points tally of last season and if manage a good return and beat it by a few points they will deem the changes made as a success. 
 

In all fairness though you can’t take away the good form of late and whether you dislike Manning’s style he has done well recently.

Scenes at Pompy mind.

Be surprised if we took as many as 1200

Yeah more like half that at most, long way to go for a nothing game and somewhere we generally lose

He is 28. This is the first season he has got over 20 goals. His previous returns were:

0,4,2,5,13,14,14,4,16,7,7.

Good on him, but he clearly wasnt showing the form he is in when he was here.

This is something that I think we as fans forget. It’s all well and good labelling ex players as ‘another one that got away’ but let’s be fair it’s taken him 5/6 seasons to start performing at a good level and actually we didn’t have the time to wait or games to give him to get him where is now. Similar thing with Wes Burns, we knew he was a good player but he needed a few seasons in league one where he could get 40plus games on spin to be considered a consistent decent player in this league. Even look at Kane Wilson now made over 40 appearances for Derby who are very likely to be playing us next season.

For what it’s worth I think Sammie could have added some value quicker if we gave him more of a chance but we know there was too much competition for him, shame really.

I think that despite it being the close season and we don’t have much to play for as a collective, it’s good knowing we have gotten results against teas with something to play for. Blackburn, Plymouth, Leicester all have something to play for. Happy with another clean sheet too!

Probably get shit for saying this…..but if he is mentally ill, i hope he doesn’t get the help he needs. The world certainly wouldn’t miss scum like him. Some of the stuff he is saying on twitter today is vile.

Which is why I don’t understand why he is still being given a platform. 

The bloke is mentally ill surely it’s been flagged and he’s been reported? 

Shame the season didn’t go on for a few more games for the gas because I think they would have dropped into the relegation.

I remember that classic press conference rant when he was at Newcastle haha legend!

I might be getting this wrong but didn’t max have a world beater performance last season at Sunderland?

Dead rubber,

Sunderland to win 3-1 but a marked improvement on performance,

That's my prediction 

Agreed but 2-1 to Sunderland haha

Luton, Fulham, Brentford, Wigan, Charlton and Barnsley; Championship clubs so much smaller than R*v*rs that they are not even in the Championship. Only five on his list of eleven Championship clubs are in the Championship. A great effort though. He must be prowed.

R*v*rs have been in the Championship in the (distant) past, they are a lot smaller than they were.

Think this post from memory was from two seasons ago but completely not with reality some of those lot.

Well done the boys well done Manning
