Without doubt he is having a great season scoring wise but the obsession is unreal. Apart from this season his scoring stats (which everyone is obsessed with) are either OK or not great. I really don't blame the club for not playing him. It wasn't like he was head and shoulders above pato or Palmer at the time

I'm really concerned if the clean sheets are down to coaching, our defending has been shocking at times and we literally gifted opportunities to the opposition. On another day vardy would have had a hatrick.

As a non season ticket holder these days I don't get why people are moaning about away games. Of course a season ticket holder deserves to have 1st rights to these tickets as they are the ones committing to all home games. I can't get an away ticket to some of the games I want to go to and as annoying as that is I completely appreciate why.

I know you can't watch them (legally) but does that go for radio as well? I would have thought radio Bristol would have a website with a live broadcast....can't say I listen to it

Why should you be rewarded for making a decision to move away? That is your choice not to live in Bristol. I have never lived in Bristol (ok a lot closer than london) but even in wiltshire its a 68 mile round trip and I don't have the luxury of 5 home games in Wiltshire. The club can be criticised for a lot of things at the moment but you choosing to not live in Bristol and still follow the team is not one of them. Surely on the Internet these days you could get a link to radio Bristol?

Personally think it's more than a few weeks. The result should put a safe now and so buys him the season and at least 10 games next season. 1st time as a city supporter that because of the above reasons I am not sure I am happy about the result. Don't care if anyone thinks this makes me less of a fan but I feel we are being set back massively by keeping the current regime

I don't blame him for the goals and he made 1 or 2 good saves but his kicking was awful.

Sorry but completely disagree. We weren't the better side today, it was 2 crap sides but they wanted it a little more. After the 1st 20 mins we did nothing. As for not his players, this is the "great coach" who can make players better. We'll I am certainly not seeing that and at least seen commitment under Pearson. Pearson had to bring a starting 11 together from nothing and got us going. For Manning to have "his" players that is going to coat a lot of money. Would much rather we got rid now and give someone a real chance to move us forward again. Would love for that to be Pearson under new ownership but that won't happen.

Most clubs do it and last night as an example is why.... Max cleared it straight down the middle and there player won the header and the ball landed straight at the feet of the midfielder who the broke straight onto our defence. If you play it to the wing the likelihood of being under pressure is low if you don't win it. Also straight down the middle a defending team has a major advantage of winning it as you are coming onto the ball where attacking team have to try and flick it on. Put it to the wing as all of a sudden it 50/50 rather than 70/30

Exactly this. Like I say I really like Pring and it certainly I am certainly not critising him but it is what I believe is holding him back from the next level. I'm not from Bristol but had loads of mates who typically support prem sides for no connection what so ever asking about him after the Westham game and said the exact thing there. If he could deliver on end product he would be a very good prem left back buy he can't cross overly well and can't shoot

Pring is all action and great to watch but his final ball isn't very good.i actually thought Roberts gave us a much better attack down the left

Portvale

Wasn't meant to come across that blunt . It got me as well

Think the difference is bentley I believe was dropped because he was on far more money and wasn't the future of the club. If we drop Max we aren't saving a lot and I am sure the coaches already know if Sefan is up to it or not. If we are getting a new keeper in at any point I think that decision will already be made.

I really like watching pring but agree with a lot of points about his delivery and shooting but as said if he had those strengths nailed he 100% wouldn't be here. The chance you highlight shows why I love watching him with his 100% attitude and making that run all the way up the pitch but also highlights the difference top level players have. I think most top players step over that ball with the awareness to know wells has a free shot. Not a critism of spring but just the fine margins that define the top level players. That being said maybe he will learn those instincts

Any links for the game?

I was a huge Pearson fan and thought he should of being backed and not sacked like many others but in Mannings defence here it was recently stated on one of the games that he has only had a handful of training sessions because of the busy schedule. I'm not saying his coaching will transform this "top 6 squad" into that but he does need a fair chance. Agree with the intention of the post though that we don't have a top 6 side, but we do have a side that will give anyone a tough game and will pick up the odd result. The quality in the final third is lacking massively for creativity.

Is the game Friday on Robin's TV to UK residents?

As soon as there is more than 1 person in a group going to an away game it becomes instantly cheaper and more convenient to drive than take public transport 99% of the time. Until the service is reliable and actually remotely affordable they have no chance of changing behaviour

Anyone saying the club may have done this for his benefit, then why get rid of his backroom staff as well?

I have an adult ticket in the dolman for tonight £15 if anyone is interested

For me the things Naismith does well at, he looks a real star of a player and could play higher. Then the flip side is he makes some stupid mistakes and switches off. Personally I don't like him at CB because of the mistakes and I don't think he is good enough to get in our midfield, that being said we does miss his ball playing skill when he isn't in the team

I certainly thought he was booked for pulling the player back earlier on
