How can that be pitching in line? Umpires call at best.

It just didn’t look right, even on live viewing. 
 

Bugger another one gone. Need a big Stokes innings here

That did not look out at all.

This is the sort of wicket you need to play with a straight bat. Plenty of singles on offer….

Just keep it ticking and bore India here.

Back him (on the basis that the Lansdown's simply won't fire him), fire Sid immediately LIKE TOMORROW MORNING. Get a QUALIFIED Technical Director in that can help Manning.

Tecknical*

I was torn between 4 and 5.

I thought that he was very critical of Manning. 

I liked what he said to be fair. He wasn’t wrong.

Naismith on comms today sounded like a man that won’t be here next season.

He certainly didn’t hold back!

That’s how it feels right now.

Yet another absolute shambles of a January transfer window by the chancers in charge. What a complete waste. We made two loan signings, one is nowhere near ready and the other so far has been an expensive experiment that’s not worked with injuries. To add to that, Twine hasn’t been injured previously at all before coming here.

Now onto the football itself. I hate to say it, but that felt like a Lee Johnson performance today. Pretty gutless from everybody apart from Knight. Sheff Wednesday took the game to us, and when we needed to step up to the challenge, we simply folded.

As others have alluded to previously with Manning’s game management. It was poor again today. What was he thinking with Pring today? He was nowhere near fit. His substitutions apart from one game I think have not made any impact whatsoever. 

Some players have got worse since his arrival. I’m yet to see where he has made anybody a better player? He is just persevering with players hoping they come good… Mehmeti being one. 
 

We’ve had a couple of good results (Watford and Soton) but generally it’s been below par. Today’s defeat means we have now lost against Sheff Wed, Millwall, QPR, Birmingham and Blackburn. I can cut Manning a bit of slack aswell if we performed well but all of those losses were fully deserved. We have been nowhere near the level where should be with this squad.

I am willing to give Manning the Summer, but my word he can’t afford a bad start. That was completely shit today.

Manning has to stay until the season. But at this moment, my anger is with those above him.

******* Downsy suggesting we might still make the play offs.

Thats another thing. 

Remember a time where we had big personalities at the club. They were relatable. I can’t stand any of this current lot at our club. They’re all smarmy muttering *******.

Barton, Downsy, Lansdown’s, Tinnion, Marshall 

**** off

Boring team, boring football, boring manager.

A ******* boring club that pats itself on the back for achieving utter mediocrity.

Still, they beat West Ham in the cup so the crayon shagger can bring out a commemorative kit.

This is how I’m feeling. We are such a vanilla club with vanilla owners. Muttering Jon Lansdown leading us the way…

Fantastic.

What a mess.

It’s been a disaster January transfer window, both signings have made zero impact and haven’t given the team the chance to rotate. Total waste.

If we lose today that’s losses against Sheff Wed, Millwall, QPR in recent weeks. And it’s not as if we have been robbed in any of those games either! It’s been poor, really poor.

This needs to be better, we deserve better.

Decent session that for us. Really need the wicket of Jaiswal though!

Do we have any decent seamers coming through?

Yes Bashir!

I used to love him as a bowler when he first came in to the side. When he bowled 83-84.  Bowling 77-78 is little threat.  In terms of him as a person, he sent those tweets when he was 19 but other than that I’ve no idea 

And that 6mph makes all the difference at this level. He’s just not a threat, unless it’s the first weekend of May in England!

That trim aswell…

Robinson hasn’t bowled a single ball over 80mph. What has happened to him?!

Don’t rate him as a player or a bloke.

Just a bit of a knob isn’t he?

Is that out or not out?

I fancy us more away from home. I’m sure they see us as an opportunity to get points, and hopefully that plays into our hands:

BTTS and City win. 1-2

He has to be one of the most exciting players I have watched down there. From a selfish point of view, I was happy he didn’t fulfill his potential. Because he wouldn’t have been anywhere near Ashton Gate if he did!

What a player.

By do gooders I mean the people saying if they had boys clubs and education they could be turned around,give it a rest 

I understand what you’re saying. It all comes down to parenting and taking responsibility of your actions.

It’s always somebody else’s fault unfortunately.

Preston

Another season we finish below those bastards.

Hopefully they are playing at Glasto the following week then

Hopefully double the price in the South Stand so we can get fans back in there again 

I get your point.

It would be nice to have a packed home ‘end’ to be proud of. At the moment it just looks sad and a bit pathetic.

Goes with the name of the stand I guess.

Paterson at home against Hull during the pandemic I think?
