We’ll be in harms way as long as the Lansclown’s run the show. There frail ego-driven decision making will ensure we never take the next step. Sacking LM would be like cutting the grass when the house is on fire.

No harm in giving him a proper go next season after a pre-season/some of his own signings. Until the Lansdown’s go the prem is a pipe dream anyway. If relegation starts to look very on, then we’ll have to change sooner, but shouldn’t come to that.

Medical department got a new shipment of bricks to launch at them last Wednesday so it’ll be a while.

Oh so he did. He looked bright tonight so makes sense! Injured: Tanner Atkinson Naismith James Benarous Twine Bell Cornick

McCrorie and Williams in the wars, and LM mentioned Pring is still carrying something. But all seemed to come through ok. Tanner is just gone. I’ll put up some posters around Bristol tomorrow. Naismith was due back a week and a half ago and I’m beginning to think I dreamt the Scott Twine loan. Otherwise we’re golden! Injured: Tanner Atkinson Naismith James Benarous Twine Bell

Very Bristol City, forwards finally turn up so the defence loses it! We very rarely concede three but we scored two, so guess we had to

No new outs, no new ins, same 18 players as Saturday. Tough game, a point would be good work here ️ Injured: Tanner Atkinson Naismith James Benarous Twine Bell

I’m never one for messing around with what works but my initial response is I don’t hate this. We’ll see how it goes.

Not sure this helps…

10 honours in our history. 1 second tier title. 4 third tier titles. 3 JPT’s. 1 Anglo-Scottish Cup. 1 Welsh Cup. I discount Gloucester cups. Too regionalised a competition. Not pretty reading I grant you but we’re STILL more decorated than the gas.

We’ve actually won an Anglo-Scottish haven’t we. Before my birth but a trophy is a trophy! But with ‘fixture congestion’ being every managers buzzword I’m not sure I can see it coming back without some other reshuffling.

Following Leicester’s mini collapse those bastards find themselves 3 points off the top spot… I cannot live in a world where Mark Ashton oversees back to back Ipswich promotions. I’d give a toe to beat them Tuesday.

I’m only playing Joey! Just very out the blue. All a bit overcomplicated for my tastes, but hey the FA and UEFA have done whackier than this!

This might be it. The single most bizarre thread on OTIB. Frame it.

The gap is 6 points but about 8 teams. Similar to when we were chasing play-offs, the point gap was small but the number of teams we had to outpace made it tricky. We’ll be fine. But we need to find a win, any way, soon. Just to keep the gap.

Appreciate all the responses and some good counterpoints to my counterpoints raised! And no-one swore at me so I'm calling it a win I really do think we’ll stay up whoever is in the dugout. I said 6 points will do it, it may be even fewer honestly. I appreciate 0 points from 9 makes it feel like we’ll never win again, we’ll find one or two. Maybe I’m wrong and he should go, and someone made a good point of it’s cheaper to change the manager than remould the squad in LM’s vision. But even though I think he’s the wrong appointment, I believe four months isn’t a fair crack of the whip. But hey, we all have our opinions and want the same thing. Onto Tuesday and, everything crossed, a point or three against Mark Ashton’s boys.

Sadly, yes mate. The Lansclowns shot this season in the face in October. I do not back any of their decisions. I’m just thinking damage control.

I agree he should be more adaptable with playing style, I wonder if now the wolves are (a bit) at our door he will. But he was always going to try to play his way, and that’s why he was a bad appointment, his way isn’t this squads way. Our board are thick. But he’s here now. We should let him have a fair crack of the whip, not his fault the board are muppets.

No new knocks I saw. We need Twine for some creativity, anyone know of a timeframe? I thought he was due. Injured: Tanner Atkinson Naismith James Benarous Twine Bell

If we don’t get 6 more points this season I’ll apply for Welsh citizenship. Our three losses on the spin were all by one goal, on another day we score a goal off Nahki’s arse or the opposition miss a sitter and it’s 3 points. Those games will come before the seasons end. We’ll be fine.

I agree with you completely. And we’re suffering for his lies now.

Not blameless, but massively diminished responsibility. Look higher. They don’t know anything about football and it shows.

No it’s not. With these owners the kitchen will always be on fire. What’s the point in changing the head chef? They screwed up by sacking Pearson then appointed the wrong man. The next one will likely be wrong too. What’s the point in just restarting the cycle?

Anticipate a battering here but I’ll post my thoughts anyway. We should keep him. LM is going poorly - let’s have it right. We’ve lost to three teams with worse squads than us on the spin. Criticism is more than fair and us, as paying and long-suffering supporters, are qualified to give it. But. - These are not his players. They don’t suit his style. His one ‘big’ signing in his mould is injured (an ongoing issue here that long precedes LM). He will need the summer. - The same idiots still own the club. The next appointment will also struggle - they struggle at appointing managers. - He’s got over 3 years of contract left. So has his assistant. We’ve sorted our money issues, let’s not piss all that money away now. - This will be the least popular one. We showed some signs of progress today. We nicked the ball high on about 4 occasions, that’s our best avenue of attack and we saw signs of it. I actually think we were the better team today. They scored one set piece, and their keeper had a solid game. Today was better, albeit against a low bar. We’re safe this season. Some will say we’re not but we are. 9 points AND 9 places clear. 6 more points from 11 games will do it. The problems lie above his head, and until they’re gone, we will always fail at this level. No amount of chopping and changing managers will change that fact. And even if they do finally get it right and appoint a man to take us forward… we know they’ll sack him anyway.

Congrats on your daughter buddy.
