He's the only one of the three ultimately sackeable. That's the difference.

Think many fans outside of clubs he's managed have this idea that he's some kind of dinosaur - Second Tier being an epitomy of it. When in truth he's just a basic, but good, man manager. Playing to the strength of his available squad.

Rohl inspired by Chansiri, was a cracking appointment. The fact even that nutjob can look abroad and get it right while we have birdbrained Tinnion and crayon-eater in charge just... hurts.

I'd make the point that a draw is more likely to be the case than a win in those margins ergo rounding down is probably more accurate. For PPG in general, I should clarify. In the same manner 1.095 gives 50.37 points, ergo rounds down to 50.

Manning doesn't statistically have an issue with Teams in the top six though. His record around and under us is morbid. Swansea is the final acid test for me. Lose that, and no way should he get the summer.

I mean, that's just factually incorrect.

Means nothing, unless we see a similar performance (and more importantly, three points) on Sunday.

Experts knew better than JL and Tinnion. Who could have guessed. Anyhow - off to bed.

True - just gives me the heebie-jeebies looking at the table in its current format.

My take on it - for those that care. Manning's problem is that he can nail the setup like he did today - and its great. Played Knight alongside Wells for the front-two press (this needed to have been done much earlier as a general change of his setup and not just tonight). Against an open team, who we always do favourably against, but especially when using more of a press. Triggered the press weel in correct transition phases when they played into their pockets (Davis, Taunzebe, Luongo, Morsy). Pushed McCrorie and Pring high to pin them back when in possession, and forced them to start transitions from deeper meaning easier to close in the space in behind with their players pinned (see point three). Credit for all of that. But he struggles when opposition adapt - Cardiff did it Saturday after 25 minutes, Sheffield Wednesday did it after half time not that we were in that game at all, Ipswich did it using subs on the 61st (Hamadi, Burns, inparticular). Its the fact that Manning doesnt adjust quick enough, hes looking for evidence of problems before correcting them instead of anticipating said problems (Pring's fitness, TGH struggling second half defensively) which then lead directly to the goals we concede. Its happened in almost every game that we get worse after half time. The in-game management just isnt there, and nor is the motivation and previous character we had, like after that second equaliser - heads drop; add on he's already blamed players directly at least three times individually or generally in press conferences and being younger players they're goign to be more prone to drips in form, they need encouragement, not just critique granted that we can't speak for what goes on in training but performances of said younger players have not been good for a while (Conway, Bell, TGH, etc). Its not a sustainable situation, and ultimately the performance matters little if we don't get at least a point out of games like that.

...Because it is?

Five games in hand within the teams below us. Yuck.

Disagree - - He's aware that Pring may not be fully fit, the second they bought on Burns, he should have at least bought Roberts on for fresh legs. - Vyner has struggled the entire half against Hamadi - should have switched him and Dickie around at worst. - TGH has struggled defensively the entire game - has the option to bring King on for experience that was lost with Wells going off to go sit back into a low block again and preserve, playing on the break. He simply doesnt stay adaptable. He's too rigid in his thinking.

TGH not concentrating - again. Thats all three set pieces on review now.

*Sigh*

What a ball on the stretch by Sykes - glad hes back.

And.. there it is.

Ipswich have gotten 25 points from having been in losing positions - long way to go yet. ... And hit the bar, dammit.

TGH fell asleep back post - need to focus more on the ball instead of dragging back Moore.

He got to resign simply due to the fact of being SLs friend. Manning won't get that allowance.

Tinnion getting sacked for GJ.

Could be wrong, but Orr(?) got injured and we lost any fluidity.

Yet not an issue under NP - so that shouldn't be the case. Can't agree to that Phantom, sorry. Unless, like LJ, Manning is just an awful man-manager and losing the squad.

Definition of flattered to deceive, I'm surprised we offered him a deal to be honest. Will end up in League One. No awareness nor consistency. No real strength besides the odd delivery. No aggression.

He was gone the second they sacked Pearson.
