Sorry another bore fest for me.

We need.

Patience.

Understanding (like the gas) these things take time.

To forget we have a top 6 squad.

Were we that entertaining under Pearson? No is the answer. Fact is both him and Manning had/have a poor squad to work with.

So as I said before why the change. I always felt we might get something out of games with NP, now I can't wait for them to end. Uninspiring is the word for LMs reign, it's not his fault as the style of play is his thing, but increasingly it's not something I want to watch.

Nothing will change. Despite what they say we don't have a good enough squad.

So what was the point in all that devisive crap.

We had performances like this under him.

So what has changed?

Oh to have a goal scorer!

Please sign one - we are in such desperate need for someone to be clinical in front of goal!

No money, remember!

Yes definitely. Also liked his post match, I think he sees the strengths and weaknesses we all do with the squad and I liked how he seems to want to encourage some belief in individual players to be braver. Warming to him and what he says, seems a bit more relaxed with less jargon now.

Loved Pearson because he was the right person to sort us out, give us some spirit in the squad and guide us to some stability without getting relegated. And point out a few home truths. Make no mistake we were in a mess and whatever the qualities of our squad he started putting together they can never be accused of not trying now.

Manning needs time and results, but on their day they look a decent team who can move the ball more than just side to side. We look a little more confident and are showing more intent. Realistically we need two or three players of good quality who can help the squad to turn out more consistent positive performances. Reckon that this season will be a build/development. 

Despite the clumsiness of the board in their handling of the whole affair I just hope as a fanbase we can all move on and get behind what is now the present management team whilst still being able to acknowledge the groundwork of the previous regime.

Felt proud of the club, players, management and fans today. Looking forward to the replay. Well done all!

It would be nice for him to give some credit to what he inherited and doff his cap to NP. It would ingratiate him to us non believers a bit.

I watched Celtic Rangers at the weekend. I'd forgotten how entertaining football can be and the atmosphere was electric. 3 fantastic goals end to end game.

The only thing i would point out is..............NP had 32 months, and quite a few transfer windows, LM has had just under 2 months, and NO transfer   windows.  So a comparison at present is fatuous?  Make like a Jedi....and show a little patience?

How long should I wait? Be careful as I will be back to haunt you.

We didn't look well coached today

Those who have been aghast at the NP situation are now justifiably feeling smug. There was no need for the change and now the new manager bounce has finished we have reverted back to what we are, an inconsistent mid table team. I am 60 years into supporting this club, 30 as a season ticket holder and 15 as a season ticket holder with my children so I feel its my team. I might not have billions but a significant amount of my time and money has been invested. No one is interested I know but you can't keep defending this incompetence. 

And there it is. Just shows how pointless the clubs recent behaviour has been. Guess TD will be leaving x again. 

Another dull watch.

Far be it from me to agree with him, but no one wins every week.

Of course not but working their keeper would be nice! An off night if you like but Brum were really poor.

And drew the game - I’m happy enough with a point away from home.

Against a team that looked nervous,devoid of ideas and created next to nothing, you're easily pleased!

Nothing much Manning can do to liven things up.  Try Yeboah and tell him this his big chance

Well surely as the Coach that is his job!

West Ham must be shitting themselves!

I’m sorry but can anyone explain what exactly tanner brings to this team?

so negative

The whole team have been negative.

Sounds like the title of one of those TV reality shows. 

Less exciting than watching Chris Packham waiting for an egg to hatch dull!

Dull watch.

Mehmeti having a poor game.

Trust the process 

Is there one? Please enlighten.

Let's not ignore the fact that Huddersfield were terrible. If we can't take 3 points from that we need to start looking over our shoulder.

Trying to get a team of runners to keep and pass the ball like Spain. Never gonna work!

Sam Bell offers little, at least Mehmeti can dribble. Better still keep Sykes on unless injured.

I don’t believe it. However, as the Lansdown/board said that was the reasons, I’m judging them on it.

By saying they want better football, better results as we have a top 6 side squad, they have made Liam Mannings job a lot harder. He is going to get less patience from the fans because of the Lansdown. 
 

If they had an ounce of leaderships between them, they could have told us the real reasons in the summer and sacked Pearson in the summer. They could have stopped pretending there was no money and gave their chosen man the chance to improve the squad.

Simply brushing it under the carpet won't make it go away and merely widens the chasm between a large number of fans and the owners.
