Galley is our king

Apparently, according to BT, the coach or manager is offered a choice of 3 players identified by the recruitment team for a certain position. Pearson picked Cornick but we will never be told who the other 2 were will we? He also cost apparently £300k, so what were we expecting?

And by doing so totally admitting that the so called chairman and hissing sid openly lied to the fan base.... They will reap that reward when season ticket sales comes round..

Were you there tonight?

Absolute bollocks! Who on earth do you think got rid of all the dead wood? Pearce did!!!!

I think the point is, we shouldn't be looking down, the powers that be of our football club told us to look UP! So how's that going?

Oh come on, he had to overhaul a bloated squad, reduce the wage bill and get rid of overpaid players with little or no interest in BCFC. Ask yourself, who allowed this club to stump up 4.5m on Kasey Palmer? That took almost 2 years and led to a fit squad ready to compete!! Not only that but he retained Championship status. And then the ***** sacked him. ******* disgraceful!

Far to simplistic I'm afraid. Manning has many more experienced players returning from injury, from memory...Vyner, Tanner Williams, McCrorie, Wells, Conway just returned to bench (I'm sure there's more). Everyone would have expected progression under Nige with all the players back from injury If winning one game less isn't regression what is? If this is what was expected then there was no reason to sack Nige, none whatsoever!

Great list.... thanks!! I'd actually forgot one or two of those. All of those very relevant in my view especially the one in capitals..... WE WERE LIED TO. thanks again.....

"Had money to spend after all"? What Christmas cracker did that fall out of?

Bloody hope not, just replying to the post that said we were.

Only we could spunk out 2.5m on a player who isn't even going to play for us until he would have been out of contact anyway..... Absolutely ******* bonkers!!

Serious question.... Ashton, gone. Gould, gone. Alexander, gone. So who within the hierarchy is now in charge of negotiating transfers?

Gone in the summer, He will be gone in the summer, Gone in the summer, He will be gone....... To the tune of "sacked in the morning"

We didn't lose at Cardiff because of that, we lost because of the injury situation! Just look at the team selected for that game and that should tell you why we lost. Check the bench as well...

Bollocks

Oh dear, now who's turning this into a Manning v Pearson thread? I thought you got over that?

As long as it isn't US!!!

I have a lot of time for Louis but would have preferred him to have taken big John's record properly by not buggering off to Coventry! Very contrived in the end unfortunately...

Dave, what makes think this has anything to do with LM?

So you "apparently" joined in 2006, and this is your first post???? If you couldn't see the progress he made considering the shit squad he inherited, the players that had to go, the wage reduction and the brilliant way he brought through the kids from the academy.....and retained championship status, then maybe, your first post should be your last!

Yep, lost 2 -0. One 17 year old making his debut and a bench full of kids with Tommy coming back from injury. And yet, apparently, this loss was enough to sack the manager. ******* disgusting. We must never forget this and the powers that be must be held to account if things do not rapidly improve.

Sorry, they both said we have a squad capable of being at the top end of the table and we didn't want to wait until the end of the season for that so we acted now. Complete bollox.

Absolutely. Joined 24th November 2023 and that was the second post! You were right with the bs comment, might just be a different bs though....

You are right, stats don't lie.... Unfortunately, the 2 people now running our club do.....

Brilliant game, fantastic atmosphere, best feeling for ages! Well done everyone! Not happy being kept in the Winterstoke Road car park for a g e s.. but hey ho. COYR!
