Interesting to hear from LM that the recent run of three clean sheets can be attributed to the opportunity for some focussed coaching on the grass over the international break, well done Liam you’re a genius… there was I thinking that if it were not for Max then we could have conceded six or seven over those three games.

Ha ha of course it is.. supporters who have not yet renewed their season tickets are the real target..

Liam Manning vs John Eustace on Weds… should be interesting. LM inherited a team on the up six months ago, JE inherited a team in the doldrums early in Feb. You’d think that LM’s advantage of having more time on the grass, coupled with a better side on paper playing at home should be able to both put on a performance and win this one, however JE is a more experienced coach who has his team playing well in recent games. It’ll be interesting to see how the game plays out, Blackburn definitely will be and we definitely should be on the front foot and trying to win this one. PS. The game earlier this season at their place was diabolical and we lost 2-1. LM was in charge for us on the day although JE was not there as he had not long been given the arse from Birmingham to allow Wayne Rooney to take over. Arguably the second most ridiculous change in manager for the season.

Not so sure SG.. they scored 5 away at Sunderland last week and 0-0 vs Southampton yesterday was a good result, John Eustace has them playing well. They'll be looking to win this one and Szmodic will be looking to add to his seasons tally for sure, and we can’t keep hoping for Max to save our sorry arses..

Not too many saying that about Ashton Gate these days… we’re just as shit at home.

With all the dross that we’re watching, you take issue with people recognising a MOM performance? Because he will be MOM won’t he?

No need to worry ..

He’s keeping a shit league 1 manager in a job..

OK here in Aus… but without sound

McCrorie injured too?

Well if things don’t go to plan, try your best not to Booourskipper..

Well he did say that he came from the same school as our head coach so no surprises really..

Good job as usual JB.. This will be a good test for us following our back to back wins, going for an optimistic 1-1 draw. Jon Stead was another who played for us and the Maccuns..

I agree it’ll always be tough.. but the owners could have supported the manager and reinvested the profits made from the sale of AS to give us every chance… he didn’t, still hasn’t and most likely won’t. A change in direction from the top can be the only way forward.

Ummm… Could it have anything to do with our owners versus other teams owners?

POTS - Max, single handedly saved us from several batterings. Could have easily been 3 or 4 down at HT vs West Ham in the first game, we could have lost 5-0 or more at home versus Leeds, MOTM v Leicester at home as examples. YPOY. Tommy, he is a great prospect albeit for new employers next season. Champagne Moment(s).. Putting 9 goals past Liam Manning sides over two games earlier in the season them head-hunting him as Head Coach.

Hmmm.. Cunning plan, forum meltdown, Tinnion in charge… As if that could happen..

Thanks again.. I also don’t think for one minute that Whitaker would sign for us, and although I’d welcome it I don’t think that he’s the level of player that we must sign. My thoughts are more that we should be shopping for a couple of players ‘like’ Twine and be prepared to spend some relatively higher levels of cash to get them. The current nest egg with the current levels of ambition will last for decades.

Thanks Mr P.. certainly a lot for me to consider there for sure. But in a nutshell, after securing FFP order by the sale of a proven young striker, if a championship club can then sell another prized asset for £20m+ and potentially one more for another £10m? Surely we can bring in a player for £12m or so if we were inclined to do so? I’m sure a more forward thinking owner could find a way to do so within the rules of FFP.

Although we played quite well and had our own chances I though that if it was not for Max we could have easily lost by a couple against Leicester. So perhaps more lucky than clever? However, although the first 30 minutes yesterday was pretty ordinary we did get on top and finished the half the better team.. I was very impressed with the triple sub’s then made at half time, especially as we had battled to get ourselves on top.. Thought we clearly deserved the win and in no small part due to the bravery of the mangers subs. So, to be fair, now is not the time to get too high or too low albeit after these two great results.

JL and BT would be beside themselves if we can eclipse last seasons league placing and points total.. We’ll be 100% trying to win every one of the last six remaining games.

Well we have actually… Antoine’s sale would pretty much cover it, let alone Alex’s .. We’ll probably sell Tommy for a decent fee too which would in effect result in pretty much a straight swap if we really wanted to sign a player like Whitaker. It’s not the money, the owner’s loaded, it’s the mindset.

Hopefully Sam Bell has been charged with setting the game plan again… He’s one from one…

It was ridiculous… but how about Cole Palmer’s spot kick? Some player that..

Ha ha.. as if Liam, assuming that he’s still here, would even have a say in the decision…
