Imagine if we ever snuck in via the the playoff's. Doesn't bare thinking about. Gives me shivers thinking about who would be responsible for recruiting and dealing with the money.

Like you say...defies all logic.

He's never going to say anything that is negative towards the club or Manning. Always sits on the fence.

The blokes a clown...talks about players being too emotional and needing to control their emotions...then bangs on about himself getting emotional in the changing room in front of the lads. Can you imagine him getting angry and shouting? I'd piss myself laughing. He's turning into David Brent. One snippet from that article that maybe worth noting, possibly looking abroad for forwards?!

Whilst it's highly unlikely to not win anymore games, the chances of beating Ipswich are remote. We've taken 8 points from a possible 30 in the last ten games. Whilst they've taken 21. If it wasn't for Rotherham we'd sit bottom of the form guide over 10 game segments. Relegation form. https://www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables/competition:championship/form/matches:10/type:home-and-away/

The more I think about it, the angrier I get regarding his appointment. We've gone for a 38 year old, with less than 4 years experience in any senior position,of first team football, at far less a level than what we are at. He's only coached 164 senior games to date. And averages 8 months in a job. From NP who's got vast amounts of experience, to this... They want to get rid of our experienced players as well. How the hell do JL and BT think this will ever work? They seriously can't be that inept at footballing judgement at this level? If they are...then **** me I personally believe it's to make their position easier. Well imo...they've made it worse for themselves. Who's gonna trust these idiots?

I'd definitely give him help...out the door, him and his sidekick kick.

He was spot on...there are some teams that have improved slightly. Wasn't the race time two minutes quicker this season?

I can't see that working, it will be at odds to how he wants to set up and play. We have a squad that is comfortably mid table quality. And here in lies the problem, as JL and BT think with better coaching they should be pushing for the play offs. NP played to our squads strengths. He achieved a slow upward curve of mid table stability. LM is trying a system that doesn't play to our strengths. That imo, is why we are on a downward spiral. Also...imo, he struggles when we have a plethora of fit players to choose from. Often picking the wrong players and system against opposition. Too much change. Now he wants us to go back to basics It's jumbled coaching imo. Better he leaves.

Wish I'd been a teenager/ early 20s in the 60s and early 70s. Before my time. But I watch old footage from back then and imo you are totally correct. Plus the music was fresh. Sounds odd...but I wish I was older so I could have experienced that.

The problem with Manning is the arrogance. He's used terminology and phrases recently where he speaks about players not taking on board his knowledge of overcoming defeats and becoming stronger. And such like. Can you imagine what half our squad are thinking when this bloke speaks. He's literally got no experience compared to the majority of our squad that have played way above everything he's ever achieved. A coach with ideas on tactics, a game plan, I can take...but telling the likes of James, King, Wells etc of how they need to be mentally stronger, and how he will tell them how, when they've done it so to speak, is down right delusional, disrespectful and arrogant. The bloke is a legend only in his head, and I haven't got a clue what his sidekick does apart from smirk and talk to his hand. Led by donkeys.

You've got him looking after number one...BT looking after number one, but now between a rock and a hard place, and Crayola with a 1000 yard stare. We're foooked.

Glad your voice is heard via a third party so to speak.

I agree.

They'll see that as booing performance of team. It has to be directed at them.

Sadly people won't not go...regardless. FOMO. Better they go and show disapproval for that reason imo.

He's destroying Conway. No wonder he won't sign an extension.

Catch 22...I'd rather people attended and vocally showed their disapproval at the owners.

He went into defence mode Dave...his mouth talks quicker than his brain. He just spouts stuff that is aimed to deflect. Never thought he'd fit with us...said from day one, as did others. I'd say there are more astute on here than JL and BT when seeing that.

Exactly...but imo, that's not down to Conway. It's down to poor quality crosses, and the fact he's outnumbered by defenders and a GK and has very little space for error.

That's the point I'm making. Lots of ST holders don't attend. Hence empty seats. But they are still paid for.

Conway was imo always best in a 3.

I've had a relationship with an Italian girl...fair to say, never a dull day.

22 crosses. These are research stats... Set play crosses (after free kicks or corners) represent about 8% of all goals and open play crosses represent about 15% of all goals. However, crossing from an open play is hugely inefficient, only 1 open cross in 4.87 is an accurate cross and only 1 open cross out of 91.47 leads to a goal on average.

Gotta love Italian girls
