It’s a funny old game.. when we drew 1-1 at their place I thought that they were easily the worst team that we had played so far… At our place recently we were lucky to get a point as they were easily the better side, that was their one point in the last available nine keeping our unbelievable unbeaten run intact.

Good work again JB… I seem to recall that we signed John Galley from Rotherham back in the day. I think we’ll smash em… 1-0.

Could even be a straight swap with Burnley for Twine.. Both clubs could reason that they have traded £5m rated players?

Good point, solid performance..

Great goal..

Solid first half against a good Norwich side.. certainly holding our own.

Wow… I agree about the turgid displays.. However, this wasn’t a Manning vs Pearson thread.

I know my glass is bone dry and not half empty, but Sykesy talking about how we dismantled Swansea in the old style versus a new Bristol City which we may see after the summer transfer window doesn’t leave me with a feeling that he’s truly on board or the type of player required by LM for next season. If that’s correct we’ll be in trouble if that feeling is more widespread.

in his own words.. “Even under the last manager, and I don’t know if this is statistically correct, but it felt like we were good on the counter-attack and a lot of my goals have come from that position and we were probably set up that way; this team has a lot of the last manager’s players in it, so we were used to playing that way - being under a bit of pressure. “I always think back to Swansea games, and they were proper possession-heavy and we’d always manage to catch them on the counter and that’s the way the team in set up. “Maybe the new manager, when he gets a transfer window under his belt, will be able to implement the way he wants to play and you’ll see a different Bristol City.

Basically, we’ve now reverted to pre Manning methodology, especially against the top sides, and that Manning can play his own style only when he has the benefit of a transfer window where he can bring in players capable of playing to that style.. How dis you read it?

Well if we get 21,000 vs Rotherham we’ll be doing well..

Can’t argue with that, the work the club does with the community is above and beyond. But not giving a regular weekly update is too much?

Thanks.. missed that. No comments on the forum though, unless I’ve missed them too?

Well I know that I’m viewed by too many as being overly negative.. fair enough I get that too. But where is the feedback / outrage on no pre game LM presser before our toughest remaining game of the season? Where is the update on players contracts after LM said last week that discussions would happen this week? Where is the forums feedback on Mark Sykes comments in the EP basically confirming what a lot of us have been saying with regard to old style versus Manningball? Have we all just given in and conformed?

No not at all, my bad… I think TC will move on in the summer and he will benefit from some development elsewhere. I read the original post as what players can still benefit from development, not what players are currently being developed.
