The soft BC are back, after all Nigel’s hard work
Charlie BCFC replied to Shauntaylor85's topic in Football Chat
That’s fine if you have reservations for me I’ve seen enough positives to stay behind it. We’ve already seen some massive highs and positive signs in games and that’s just using Pearson’s players bar Twine for one game and Mebude for even less that that -

First QPR game was first game so wouldn’t feel it’s fair to judge him on that, Birmingham game we weren’t great but still did enough to win. Rest I can’t disagree with though, think it’s only fair we give him a pre season unless things go really really wrong -
These poll results are embarrassing most fickle fanbase in the league

You’re talking about two games which have obviously been underwhelming. But that doesn’t mean the entire spell has been? -

Hard to say as we don’t know what Pearson would’ve done. I don’t think he beats most of the teams Manning has beaten but maybe he wins some of the games we’ve lost. Like Pearson though I think Manning has done enough to be backed and have a full pre season -

The squad we have is a mid table squad and that’s exactly where we are at the minute. Manning hasn’t put a stamp on things yet but has already won 3 on the bounce in the league, beaten the most in form team in the league and beat the European champions in a one off game. Pearson never did any of that in his 3 years in charge, if he deserves time then so does Manning imo -

I don’t really agree it’s been underwhelming, a lot of it is as expected because we have a mid table squad. Pearson done a good job stabilising the club but I’m personally behind Manning -

But also these are the same players who had these poor runs? Everyone gave Pearson a chance (rightly so) with that god awful squad in 20/21. Why doesn’t Manning get the same patience? -

Absolutely laughable -

I agree we don’t have a top 6 squad, but that’s not Manning’s fault is it? I’ve always said I’d be happy with top half and that’s where we are -
Shut up you belter

Pearson in the 2020/2021 season lost 3 on the bounce and 4 on the bounce just in the first couple of months of him being in charge. Manning on the other hand won 3 league games on the bounce which Pearson never was able to achieve

Manning has us in the top half with 12 games remaining, I maybe wrong of course but I can’t remember Pearson having us this high at this stage. I like Pearson for the record and think he left us in a better state when he took over but it’s time to move on and for me Manning has done more than enough to be backed going forward- 139 replies

Southampton came back and beat Huddersfield and their mentality was sky high, the loss against us knocked their confidence and now they’re struggling. Each to their own but Manning has only had a few months and not had a chance to put his authority on this team but still has picked up some great results and for me deserves a full pre season. I’m not happy with the last two results but if this is what has made you disconnect from the club then you must not have supported us for very long

We’ve been on worse form under Pearson, utterly ridiculous claim. This is Bristol City Football Club, not Nigel Pearson Football Club. The quicker people realise this, the sooner we can move on

Happy I’m not the only one, we’ve seen these runs of form and performances before Manning so I don’t get why he’s getting scapegoated on here like it’s something completely new? -
10 days ago we were beating a team which seemed unbeatable at the time and now a couple of poor results and this is what we see on this forum? Reality is that we have rarely been above where we are in the league at this moment of time, I have optimism personally that we are set up well for the future but at the moment we don’t have the consistency to be in the conversation for playoffs this season. This is nowhere near the worst I’ve seen the club and I’m far from disconnected personally

I don’t think Mehmeti is perfect at all, but there is a player there which I think Manning has got better over time. Pearson preferred Yeboah and Cornick over him which is absolutely hilarious Easy to say a shocking appointment now but there’s no way you were saying that a week and a half ago. For me, I’m giving him minimum a pre season where hopefully we’ll look like we can break teams down whilst having more of the ball. This was a problem under Johnson, Holden and Pearson (although his fan club don’t want to admit it) -

Completely disagree, we’d have absolutely lost today under Pearson. As bad as the last two games have been, we also picked up 7 points from Coventry, Leeds, Boro and Southampton. I don’t think we come near that points total with Pearson in charge -

We started Southamptons poor run beating them for the first time in 25 games. Problem is (and has been the case since Lee Johnson) we’ve failed to break down teams near the bottom and subsequently thought we’ve been above that -

Are you honestly trying to say we never had poor performances under Pearson? We had plenty, in fact results like today have been a regular occurrence since we’ve gone back up. I’m willing to give Manning the benefit of the doubt considering he’s only had one window to correct it -
Had no idea he was back 2 months ahead of schedule. Massive credit to him and the staff for getting him back, he’s looked really good in the games he’s played imo
-
Not a chance we “gave it a go” against Leicester, we had 10 men behind the ball and the goal was coming from a mile off. Both performances were poor, but only Manning gets blamed for the game he managed
-
Agreed his decision making has been a issue for some time now, it’s getting better but it’s still not enough in a goal shy side

I did think we needed another thread referring to the same thing but different wording
