Dave, we were dreadful against Brum, as i remember we didn't have a shot on target it then took us until the 94th minute of the next game to have a shot on target so that's over three hours of football without a shot on target

Agreed, so let's see how this bloke goes and give him a chance, we live in hope

Some might say he is doing better, it's all about opinions

Not renewed yet but i will as i always have done in the last 50 years irrespective of who runs the club or what useless manager happens to be in charge (i've seen plenty of them)

So you've picked four games from Pearson's reign this season, i think you're really clutching at straws when quoting Plymouth reserves, losing a two goal league to a poor Stoke team and a 94th minute winner with our first shot on target at Millwall, Are you honestly saying that the home games against Brum & PNE weren't poor ? and don't even get me started on some of the performances from last season (i still break into a cold sweat thinking about one of the worse City performances i've ever seen at Reading) I'm not saying that all things are rosy in the garden but i certainly don't think things are any worse.

Do you honestly believe that the football wasn’t poor before Manning came

Agreed and with our solid defence AS could of made all the difference in our league position

Absolutely, once he bulked out a bit he terrorised defences, I loved his unpredictability, hopefully Memhetti will head the same way

Exactly this. Bobby Reid was another written off by many, fair play to LJ for transforming him, he did get something right !!

And to think there were many on here that said he wasn’t good enough and compared him to a “headless chicken” !!!

With only three teams that have let in fewer goals in the division (all three in top five) it has to be a defender or the keeper, Dickie for me

I agree to an extent but on many occasions it does work, McKenna at Ipswich, Schumacher at Plymouth, Mousinho at Pompey etc

Perhaps Crap is too strong a word, to be honest our supply to the strikers has been an on-going problem for quite a while, luckily we have the 4th best defence in the league

In fairness he hasn't done too bad in putting them in with a chance of staying up, they were truly awful early season

Has he over-taken Frank Lampard as your choice ? Their should be nobody on top of your list because like it or not Manning is now our manager for the foreseeable future, why don't you just get behind him instead of wasting all your energy on such constant negativity ?

Personally i think we need an upgrade, he's a very likeable guy and i hope he proves me wrong next season, will be interesting to see which strikers we sign in the summer particularly if Conway leaves as expected, there are big question marks over all our current strikers for various reasons (too young, too old, too crap)

Starting from Thursday Truro have six games in 10 days

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head in your first paragraph in regards to the “dreadful stuff” we’ve had to put up with that for the majority of the last five years and is not something he is going to change overnight, all I’ve been saying is give him a bit of time (not three months) then judge him

Agree 100%, found it really strange how quickly so many (particularly who I would regard as reasonable posters) were on his back, personally I’ve enjoyed more games in the last three months than I have in the last three years

He was excellent when we requested a mention a couple of years ago for a family member, he went above and beyond

Angus ?

That Gillingham game was mid ‘80s with Bobby Hutch’ getting a couple in a 3-1 win, always remember the train going right underneath the massive stand at Stamford Bridge

It’s no big deal Dave, we’re not gaschat, I’m still gobsmacked how some people manage to get banned several times, otib must be the most liberal forum around!!

Bogs at football grounds were the same all over the country, grim
