Well that's patently untrue or you wouldn't be posting on here .

Much less frequently than in the past.

We are 2nd bottom of the form charts over the last 10 games 

Yeah but that's still got us 8 points which will probably be enough to stay up, as pathetic as that is.

We ain’t getting anything Tuesday night. By Saturday we could be 3 points off relegation and a huge Mother’s Day clash. If that ends in defeat I’m not sure LMs position is tenable.

In steps the Pearson old guard to keep us up.

Why would they turn to Andy King?

The powers that be to seeing a 'Pearson man' who was supposedly personally called out by Tinnion as not being good enough to start at centre back surely isn't going to be our caretaker manager...

After today do you still think this?  I think Manning clearly lacks the experience and skills to get the best out of this squad. The longer LM is here the worse it will get whereas with NP the longer he was here the better it would get

We can but dream. A manager who doesn't talk in clichés and jargon would be nice...

They were streaming out by then

The lower tiers on the side were half empty at about 50 minutes.

It’s time for Manning to depart, in my opinion. 
 

Good post, I think your overall point is right.

This part interested me though as a month or so ago you were extremely positive with regards to some of the changes Manning had made. I was wondering what has made you so keen to get rid of him after the initial positivity? Do you no longer see any potential there?

Really worrying interview. I'm trying my best to like him but it's a struggle, he's quite hard to listen to and like others have said isn't taking any responsibility at all... Not much to feel positive about at the moment!

Lots of talk and moans about our current situation, but what are you going to do?

Being fans, most will continue to attend/support/buy ST`s because thats what they feel they must do.

Moaning and groaning on here will be noticed by the press maybe and some BS employees but will be dismissed by them that matter as simply just that.

There has been other threads in the past re sheets/protests/walk outs ,obvious one would be to not buy ST`s and just go when you wanted to not easy choice for thousands with them and would effect clubs income.

So whats left, ride it out until SL gets an offer he cant refuse....hard choice again....its difficult but what are YOU going to do? something or nothing?

 

I've not renewed my RobinsTV subscription, can't justify £180 odd quid a year for dreadful football. Does that count as doing something? Probably not.

Do you not see any signs for concern ?

The squad looks broken, belief and creativity are gone and there was a lot of bickering on the pitch today.

One thing I thought this squad had was a one team ethic but that seems gone.

I’m neither in nor out at this time but I can see why people are concerned.

I see lots of signs of concern, we're absolutely terrible, awful to watch.

Lose to Swansea and he’ll have to go 

We've got Ipswich to lose to before that.

When are the bedsheets coming out?

Had a really good feeling about today, so lumped £100 on the win, but as always, they let me down

Really? After recent performances that is insane.

Completely disillusioned with this club. Getting the point where I don't even care anymore... The football is terrible, the manager is completely uninspiring, dread watching us play at the moment.

What a disgrace. We are so boring to watch.

Manning out.

Good game to have on if you want a nap.

Yes please.

Let’s be honest here. He’s a conference player at best and far worse than literally every single player in England who hasn’t come through our youth system.

Yep, you can’t tar a player after one appearance.  

Especially one that's 19 and has only made 5 professional appearances...

Some chat about us putting ourselves in the playoff chase on the TV commentary after the Soton game. For those that like this kind of thing the numbers are pleasingly round

Coventry in 6th. 4pts ahead and +11 goal difference - have exactly 1.5 pts/game.

For us to gain 5 pts on them (and obvs the rest of the field) within 14 games requires exactly 2.0 pts/game.

2.0 pts/game is 28 pts giving a total of 72pts. Average of 7th place in championship finish is 71.6pts.

That would be the mathematical minimum to scape into 6th.

If we arrived in the playoffs in that form it would be the same as the season form of whichever of Leeds, Soton and Ipswich misses out on 2nd. 
 

So pleasingly round numbers 

28 points is extremely unlikely but it shows we were not that far away from the bottom rung

Hes still champ quality.

Was anyone doubting that? One of our best players last season and never lets us down.

Just off?

Very tight from that.

I'd take Mehmeti off, he is looking a liability

No subs left.

Looked comfortably onside.

Boro well on top now.
