  1. The big test will be when Manning has a dip in results again and it will happen becuase it is the nature of this league and the quality of the players that he has at his disposal.

    I think he has earned the right already, under shall we just say awkward circumstamces, to be given a real good crack at this job he has been given.

    Onwards and upwards   :laugh: call me a sucker,  but I just love those FT fist pumping celebrations.

    I'm feeling good about this whole thing.

    It's not exactly Nigel who? but I'm really , really warming to our new gaffer and he will need time and patience.

  2. Guys, guys  come on FFS, we won.

    Only time will tell if Liam will be a success or not,   but let's just agree that he is getting something right here and now

    and enjoy the win without knocking lumps of shit out of each other.

    We're all City and that's what counts.

    I hated Nigel being sacked,  but I am ******* loving this little run of wins against the better sides in the division.

    Let's rejoice while we can.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the stream today, not least because I didn’t have to listen to that joker near the middle of the Dolman shouting “Get into ‘em!”, “Move!” and “Forward!” In strict rotation.

    I've heard him too.

    FORward!

    Middle, towards the back of Dolman.

    Annoying.

  4. Controversial, I know  but...

    Oasis / Gallaghers

    Decidedly average band, one trick ponies, worst and most hackneyed guitar playing/solos in rock history, made a mint from selling old rope.

    Obnoxious, stroppy, cocky northern know it alls known for slagging off bands who are far more talented than thermselves, and therefore

    total *******.  

    All about opinions, and this is mine.

    I have always felt supportive of the Lansdowns. But my faith in the regime has been shaken by two things:

    1 - How Mark Ashton and LJ were seemingly allowed to spend many flagrantly, leading to a bloated squad and financial constraints that had us in a real mess. 
     

    2. The sacking of NP….or at least the narrative that went with it. Top 6 squad? Do they really believe that?
     

    What do I want to happen? I really don’t know. Part of me thinks fresh impetus is needed. Part of me worries about what new owners would be like. But the balance has certainly tipped to the former. 

    Excellent post.

    He played really well, putting in some good crosses and a good goal. But, did he actually go past his man at all? Seemed he’d always run at them, then pass back, or cut inside to shoot round them. Would love to see him really take people on.

    His men, there were more often than not two of them on him.

    I thought he had a good game but long-term he needs to add a bit of variety to his game. When he gets the ball near the penalty area he usually cuts inside onto his right foot to shoot or cross. It worked tonight and he hit the post against Sunderland but soon teams in the  will get wise to his style of play. He just needs to go outside the defender occasionally. He can do it 

    Not sure if you were at the game but he actually did both tonight anyway.

    Always on the front foot, exciting,

    A big fan of Nigel, but I think Manning is more likely to get the best from him.

    People always start writing these types off far too quickly .

    I'd be amazed if this young man doesn't go on to have a great career.

    He believes in himself and that is half the battle,

    Best player on the pitch tonight  no question.

  8. Manning deserves lots of credit already imo.

    Let's be honest, lots of us, me included,were thinking who is this bloke to replace Nigel Pearson and so unfairly?

    Well he has, and to his credit , seems to have put all the noise behind him and just gotten on with the job.

    Yes, he isn't exactly Mr exciting,  but in lots of ways  that is refreshing in itself.

    I wish you all the best, Liam

    COYR  and let's all get behind him and the lads in 2024.

    Really pleased for him tonight. Well done Anis. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    There's a lot of talent there, Dave. Harnessed right and I think we've found a diamond.

    Really exciting to watch when he is on it.

    Worth saying that a journalist has basically just transcribed his answer to the first question of, I suspect, a five-minute post-match interview so there's at least a couple of lines of quotes on the website. He may well have said plenty about other stuff.

    Funny how people get their knickers in a twist about this stuff, though.

    Not got mine mate, I've got the 3pts,   it's Liam whose knickers are twisted tonight.

    And if you know him, he has always had a dig at us ever since leaving.

    Strange as at BCFC it is where it all started for the bloke.

    His choice.

    An intelligent guy and well presented, but often has to have his snidey comment, particularly regarding BCFC.

    Other than that, a top bloke   :laugh:
