Quoting his OP post" Two wins MINIMUM out of Huddersfield, Blackburn and Rotherham A MINIMUM of five of our remaining nine games where people come away generally having enjoyed the football on offer. Not sure where you've pulled wins against WBA and Leicester unless you mean the tongue in cheek off-comments made as we do worse against teams under or around us under Manning in general and misconstrued them.

Kettle, Black. You've answered nothing yet as to why Manning should or deserves be given more time. Still waiting on a viewpoint. Anything.

What about Numero's post is unreasonable? If we let Pearson get away with worse he would be equally critiqued, like he was before the WBA when his job was on the line.

That's very kind. Lansdown was about 40% if that, South Stand barely half full. I'd say around 15k if that.

Disagree. Don't think the fan culture has been quite this bad since we've been back at this level, part of that is leadership, part of that is Manning. We'll see with the ST renewals imo.

I mean. It's not going to happen though is it? Not without a massive slice of pure luck. The law of statistics is that they average out across a season - for example for xG we're 19th for a reason - we pose no threat - below both Huddersfield and QPR for xG for. (https://footystats.org/england/championship/xg). Backed up where our first shot came in the 72nd minute ultimately. We're being saved by being clinical. It's not impossible - but it simply doesn't bode well longer term for performances to be what they have been.

No mention of the results. Performances.

Thats just a delusional observation - quote anybody saying anything remotely close to that. Think it more the case that people just want to see us be competitive and semi-competent. Not whatever that was served up today - or against Cardiff, Wed, Millwall, QPR, and Preston. In something that's not a cup fixture.

Fans have opinions - good and bad - as performances and results dictate. Its not up to you to decide whether fans should/not be able to have a vent on a board which is for all fans. At the end of the day. Consensus seems to be what I've read that; great, three points, we should now avoid relegation. The inverse seems to be worry that all this has done if provide Manning time that he, longer terms, may not be qualified for nor deserve based on results and performances during his tenure. Which considering overall 10-game form - 3W, 2D, 5L, seems fairly balanced to me.

Name them. I'll start - Stoke and Birmingham we can all agree were poor under NP, however, I'd argue I could name three Manning fixtures worse. Sheff Wed, Cardiff, QPR (H+A), Preston (A), Millwall - all immediately spring to mind. Guarantee the numbers don't favour Manning - who didn't (and shouldn't) have the excuse of injuries for the majority of his tenure so far considering we've also had a window to strengthen in the interim. The only period under Pearson anywhere near as bad to performances under Manning was when he first had to step in - with a horrific squad culture, CEO running down his contract and bleeding £375kpw down the drain on life support with regards to FFP.

Pointless comment - we wouldn't be here discussing the club if we didn't care.

If we had competent people - why not? On paper we have one of the highest commercial/stadium incomes in the league (events, concerts etc), which gives us a leg up over those with legacy or smaller grounds (Rotherham, Preston, QPR, Millwall, even Norwich). Brentford and Sheff Utd managed it with similar turnovers.

Not hard to do when you haven't had a shot at goal up to the point of the sub. And when you're inexplicably starting Cornick instead of Sykes in the first instance.

Are you braindead?

I'd agree if I saw evidence of him getting a tune out of more than one player in that squad today. The only one is Mehmeti for me - Conway, TGH, Pring, have regressed since he's come in. But that's merely my observation and therefore an opinion.

Disagree - Birmingham remain the most complete away performance I've seen this season alongside Leeds. I can appreciate when opposition play well. Both were examples of being too good for us.

Hands down worst attendance and atmosphere since back in the Championship.

Blackburn were always going to struggle this season after losing Brereton (for free) end of last season. One too many players not sold when they should have been to maximise profit and reinvest. We did it right, yet are only three points ahead of them - so the key issue is either manager (Manning), or how we reinvested (Tinnion), or both.

Thought he was a on a roll the delusional moron. Needs his bread examined.

Oh crumbs. Poor Brian.

If Manning is let go, and by some miracle Tinns was removed. We could do worse than Mark Warburton in as DoF. Then I wouldn't mind a younger/inexperienced coach out of work but would be a bit of a statement - Van Nistelrooy as an example. Leave me alone - I can be optimistic in my dreams.

My results were due to the prediction that we beat Rotherham - and even then I had no faith we actually will - i.e. we turn up thinking they'll roll over rather than be professional like Coventry were the other week.

What worries me - is that Swansea's record away, in the last five games have been DLWWD. The loss being Leicester. We need to put in a performance like we did at Ipswich, but show more steel. They've beaten Sunderland, who we scraped past at AG, and Hull - who had some great recruitment in Jan and have since gone five unbeaten (2W, 3D).

Birmingham, QPR, Sheffield Wednesday, and Millwall in their last three games have more points than we've gotten in 5. Doesn't bode well. I got curious and decided to have a crack at a few predictions myself using a template and a spare five minutes with array formulae. Did not like my pessimistic results - way too close for comfort.

Pearson (finally, almost completely) solved that this season though. The only game iirc we conceded a winner in last ten or added time, was Stoke.
