Sir Geoff

WAKONDA, TAKARM. ?

So in that vain NP gets credit too for Dickie. This thread though is about Tins and you referred to his value signings. I was merely pointing out that you have to counter balance that with his poor signings. Why have you made it about NP and not the subject matter.

I wonder if that was in part Pearson, being 'awkward.'

You really think a League one club will pay over a million for him ? He's proved he isn't up to Championship quality so no one from this league will take a punt on him for that money. You can't just take the value signings and ignore the losses.

There will be plenty of empty seats in the last 3 home games. Why not go and find an empty seat and try it.

Agree and I think some of our players had a bit of eff this, let's up the tempo and do what we're good at for the last 20 mins. Tommy and Jason were getting pelters from the SS for standing off and watching the keeper with the ball at his feet. One time around the 70 mins mark, you could literally see Tommy thinking sod this and from that point he started pressing the keeper and forced him to move the ball quicker.

Notice he didn't mention how much Mehmeti cost though. Only the cheaper signings.

Not sure of your exact point, Dave, but give me paragraph 3 everytime over what we witnessed Sunday. Davefevs put the Coventry game in to context for you earlier in the thread

Thanks Brian, you made my mind up for me last night. Membership plus a few away games at the start of the season and possibly half season ticket if you ,Manning, preferably both are gone by November.

You're missing the point of the progression model that Tinnion has instilled in the club. U18's would be playing for the U21's and the U21' should be filling the 1st team bench (making up the numbers) No one is suggesting under 18' s are being held back from the 1st team picture.

Got to the Final. Lost to Ipswich. From memory Ashton Gate was packed for the home leg. Still got the programme somewhere.

Lansdown stands were about a quarter full.

Xg is fine to quote but what isn't represented is Quality of shot.

First time I've ever been shouting at the phone e in favour of IG. Just answer the question Neil !!!!! It's a hypothetical would you happy watching 16 games of dull turgid football and accept a 1-0 win each time. No context needed. I'm with Ian, no I wouldn't watch it .

Unless he was lying.

No, they're not. Most are pretty astute. You serve up drivel like that 10 times out of 10, even winning each game 1-0 you won't have many fans turning up by game 11. How can you call City fans fickle after decades of under achievement. At least 14,000 City fans turned up yesterday to endure that dire performance.

Wasn't it an option to buy, which means Manning must have given the deal the green light. I was surprised the deal was done hastily in Jan. Never worth 1.75 million imo.

Spooky that Tinnion came out and did an interview last week and SL shows up today. Vote of confidence ? Or here to pave the way for sacking.

So that's what Manning has been building.

What about not sacking a manager that was improving us.

Hilarious.

Realistically what's the alternative? What about sack now, save a wasted summer and dozen wasted games at the start of next season.

You asked the question " doesn't he get the chance with his own players.?" Why are you bringing up past managers ?

So why didn't they hit O Leary instead of firing 10 yards over the crossbar ?

No, it wasn't his remit. How many of 'his' players do you anticipate. A whole team / squad ? Just one or two ? Please enlighten us to how many he needs of his players he needs to have us playing his way...whatever that is.
