I like Twine, but have to agree. He isn't the player we saw in his first game for us either, he was exciting and creative. Either he hasn't recovered from his injury fully or we have coached it out of him?

I would agree. He should have used the best and most logical replacement available, and it looks like he didn't. As it was we had nothing to play for really, but he can't be making these decisions as standard when we start the new season. That's what is concerning me going forward.

I've just read the Manning quote saying about not playing King there ' not in my time here' or something like that. Am I reading too much into that or is there a slight dig at Pearson? Obviously King is such a Pearson player and he doesn't want to use him as Pearson did, but wants to find his own solution? Just seems a strange thing to say.

I agree with you there. No need to move so many players out of position at all.

Williams was clattered several times. Memetti was about to come on with Wells when Williams was injured so the bench delayed the decision until they decided what was happening with Williams. They gave it a few minutes but then subbed him off. I'm positive Williams was injured.

I don't think we would have got 90 (or 100) minutes out of him though?

I couldn't see it from the Lansdown, but got to add that so many of the crowd in the South Stand corner shouted handball at the time I believed it was. It was an immediate shout, a reaction to what they saw ( or believed they saw) not just a hopeful shout to influence the Ref from what I could tell.

Used to be a fine of £2,500 which seems fairly insignificant in the scheme of things

Think some of Huddersfield's bench could be in trouble if she reports them for having a go at her as she left the pitch, lots of shouting and fingers in her face. Not nice.

I did feel sorry for them, only to quickly remember it happening to us quite a few times away too. Preston away for example I won't forget.

Or even have 2 penalties in a game, never mind a season!

I didn't see the @phantom comment, but can confirm the ST tickets are counted.

Who has said that, I think I missed that info. They have the exact figure, why wouldn't they?

My drive to AG has never been so quiet, not many fans about tonight.

Also there isn't a rugby match where fans can talk to the fans seated near them to arrange to try to sit together next season in time.

Just reading they have now dropped to 16th, but Forest are expecting to hear about a further deduction for them later this week. So I guess it will be fixed so Everton are seemingly punished but escape the drop?

I don't like all the sacking stuff, managers being given only part of a season to prove their worth.... However, and it's a huge however, it really feels to me like Manning is some sort of an interim Manager until we get the 'proper' one in. He is holding the fort, keeping things steady and unspectacular until the new appointment. Obviously I do know that isn't the case, but that's how I tend to mentally treat him. I don't think of him as being sacked, just stepping aside when the new man arrives. Then I realise there isn't anyone, no new Manager, and I realise, well 'Agggghhhh' sums it up

I did say at the time they probably had a vape or something! Btw, they didn't get my power bank either, I distracted her by telling her I only had sweets and a bar of chocolate and she was more interested in that

I did see a Sunderland fan and a City fan were taken off, well we were told by train security that he had admitted it so we all could go. The driver wouldn't move until it was sorted. They had been saying all along it was a group of 7 City fans but didn't know who it was, so all were going to be removed from the carriage, the 7 then separated, then removed. That was the plan by security who were waiting for the Police.

Dunno. But it was an experience being one of only 2 City fans in the next carriage along. Luckily a lot of good natured banter from the Sunderland fans and Geordies! Must have been a good half hour or more delay

I saw them both, and 2 or 3 blokes before that. Yes they looked young, and certainly about 15 police and stewards was a massive over reaction.

Someone I know couldn't take a lighter in. I've never seen such measures at any other ground

Yes no coins or vapes. Last time it was power packs too. They did ask me if I had a power pack (I did)

They think they found who has done it and metro just moving again, after they removed him £1000 fine possibly. CCTV takes 2 weeks to confirm

Trouble on the metro too. Apparently a Bristol City fan has pulled the emergency stop on the metro. We have started again and now waiting at a station for 30 mins for the Police
