I like Wright a lot but that is bizarre. Ben White shouldn’t be allowed to do what he wants?  

Same!! But yeah just like it’s a choice to join the army if not 

Alex Scott in the u21s

this though, bit extreme…

Ian Wright: “The next young player who says he does not want to play for England should be ordered to ring the parents of a soldier who has died serving his country in Afghanistan, and tell them his reasons.”

Butland over Ramsdale for me

Well I wished him well and wanted nothing but the best..

slay bitches

Remember David Seal’s lob while on loan to Northampton and was allowed to play against us, what a goal!! Though celebrations were a little off, considering he was actually contracted to us

Joint lead coach role (aka both are head coach, like the Cowley brothers at Lincoln etc). Mickey was in charge of the 16s but moved up to 18s. 
 

Have heard from a few people that they are moving up to take over the 21s next season though.  

Done alright since leaving Clevedon ain’t he? good coach or another job for the boys?

Having heaped pressure on Manning with the top 6 stuff, are we saying Challis has to go if he doesn’t achieve the owner’s requirement of winning the Youth Cup?

Mickey Bell ain’t it?

Most people scan in n go everywhere n anywhere they choose tbh

Can’t wait for the anniversary print 

Remember when he use to wear a red and white hat and we’d sing about it?

what happened Brian?

scored against Liverpool? Shagged n married the club secretary at the time, managed the club and now he’s technical director, even got his son a job with the lads, where’s ya mate Carlos?

Not Ollie Watkins but WSM def gave him a platform

Lucky bastards

Did anyone ever come in for Brian when he was a player for us?

Shaun Goater 

Doesn’t seem like he’s overly bothered 

Next one to go to the Gas

Arteta, Pearson, both strong with gameplan and tactics but took time to find what suited them, Manning is a paint by numbers manager, he's so generic and lacking. 

We could give Manning 5 years and at best I'd imagine us mid table of the Championship, more realistically I see us potentially dropping into League One with him being sacked with 3-4 months left in a season further into his position here. 

Mannings issues are that he blames players for not getting results when he's the reason they couldn't perform as he's set us up in a style that we don't have the suited players to play. That'll piss players off and quite possibly demotivate them as they know they're capable of better but they're being ha stringed. 

Mannng is also slow to read the game and makes any impactful changes. There are times when the commentary teams have picked up on what's going wrong and still, he doesn't react and then we go on the lose or give up a good lead. If the commentary teams are picking up on the issues when the coach is not then there is a real problem. 

I was thinking to myself the other day how maybe I'm just not seeing something so I asked a few of my mates who support other championship teams to join me on discord for a few of them and have them access us to get a non fan based view on our set up. They said when we don't have the ball we look more dangerous than when we do have it, asked to elaborate they said when we get the ball we just go side to side or backwards until we lose the ball or until the opposition get a foot on it but fail to retain which creates an opening. With the Ipswich game they all said we looked far better when the gameplay was "frantic" to which I think is what happens when the game is opened up by the opposition attacking us rather than getting men behind the ball. 

I mean the TLDR is Mannings tactics are not showing us signs of life, the left over instincts of Pearson spending years to teach our lads to play on the counter is where we show up, Mannings slow build, passing game is where we're falling apart. 

Insightful!! Like a lot
