The Coach

My other half has decided to watch the game with me today on the TV.

She’s fallen asleep and I’m not far off myself. 
 

Truly dreadful 

Fans booing again. For a second consecutive home game.

He does and for no reason at all..

I think he knows he’s safe and may have had vote of confidence from BT and JL

Nice cosy lad. Sums up LJ era and Bristol City all together

Can’t see it. Or any Premier League club wanting him. He’s not very good.

Should rename the Lansdown Stand to The Scott Murray Stand. 
 

Scott does so much for the club and community. Wishing all the best for his mum.

Correct.

The issue is not just Manning. A much better performance last night. 
The issue is at the the top, namely the Lansdowns. It makes no difference who the manager is or will be when Manning gets sacked, as everyone knows the Lansdowns will just meddle.
A defeat against Swansea and surely he will get the chop also?

At any other club. You’d like to believe that’s the outcome. However, this is Bristol City.

The season is a right off. We could finish 21st and just survive relegation and Manning will go nowhere. He will be backed in the summer, possibly sacked next season. Then we end up with a hung playing squad with a mixed playing style. A complete mess. That’s Lansdown’s Bristol City.

Scary we are 3-2 down and haven’t had a go in injury time. Ipswich pressing for the 4th.

And there it is 

Oh we self imploding 

Cracking header

Well done Sykes for chasing that down.

It’s a tricky one as I understand the sentiment behind it. As someone highlighted previously, smashing by Swansea almost 20 years ago lead to Tinnions sacking, and GJ taking over. Rest is history.

The challenge you have is, we don’t know what the temperature is by SL or JL. They may have given Manning their full support regardless of league position this year, as long as it’s not relegation. 
 

If I could look into a crystal ball and knew if we lost tonight and at Swansea. Lead to the removal of Manning. I myself would be somewhat tempted to take that risk. You never want your team to lose but you also want the greater good for your team and look for the future. If short term pain lead to long term fortune. You’d have to take it.

Furthermore, even if Manning was removed. I have zero faith in those above to get the next appointment right.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I’ve got a funny feeling we’ll play well tonight.   Not saying we’ll win, but I think we’ll give Ipswich a game.

Likewise. Lock me up now but I can see us winning 3-0.

One of my Grandkids will be at his first game Sunday.

Will he hooked for life or never again? City win could be back. Defeat against Swansea toxic atmosphere who knows. 

What’s he done wrong?

Has Ben White been overdoing the spray tan?

He’s got his own sun bed at his house.

There’s your 6th

5-0

Sheff Utd 4-0 down inside 24 mins at home…could be double figures at this rate.

If we do great. Credit where credit is due. But it’s all about progression and moving forward. Win tomorrow and then go out at Swansea and we don’t follow up. Back at square one.

I think many people renew now not for the football itself but the build up and social aspect. Can’t knock anyone for that.

City 1-0. Max plays a blinder while Ipswich have 74% possession 

We’d more likely talk to Mark Cooper

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. At least some positive news on here to read
