What a situation to be in again. A young Manager having to learn from his mistakes and improve. Unfortunately at Bristol City's expense. Ludicrous appointment.

I haven't seen anything that Manning has done or said that is remotely interesting. Bland, simplistic and stupid yes.

Who could blame any player from wanting to get away from an imbecile like Manning. I cannot see many wanting to stay or indeed many wanting to come.

Manning could be Manager next season having been given money to spend in the summer.

I thought we wanted to win this game with WBA and Leicester up next. And Manning serves up this dross. Boring and passionless football. How the club expect supporters to pay to watch this shite is beyond. He is hopeless.

If Twine was fit would he not have started.

Lansdown, Tinnion and Manning.

I don't think SL gives a toss about City anymore. He has not supported Pearson or Manning in the transfer market and is just keeping the transfer fees. He has no ambition for the club and I imagine the fall in the wage bill would bring a smile to his face if we went down. Seeing Scott and Semenyo last week playing for Bournemouth last week reminded me of what we lost and how little has been spent replacing Premiership standard players

Many have spoken on here about Steve Lansdown not being prepared to sack Manning or Tinnion because he doesn't like to be shown to be wrong. So how does that fit with getting rid of his Son. He would be the very last to go. The only one who will go in the end will be Manning.

How the hell is it the last chance for the Lansdowns. Steve owns the club and will go when it suits him. And he is hardly going to sack his son. And I would love to know what Manning has done to make you think he will come good. He looks like a lost child on the sidelines unable to influence what is going on in front of him.

Players have given their all tonight. If they play like that to the end of the season we will be safe.

Can we score a goal. I think we will need to if we are to get anything, as I think Ipswich will score. They always seem to get late goals as well. Let's hope we can get one. COYR

Having watched the Cardiff game, if that is the future with Manning then I hope whatever needs to happen, happens to get rid of him.

It is never going to happen.

Lost to QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff with two games at home. If you are relying on that form to see us through. Then I would be very worried Unless Manning can do something different and change the template we are in the relegation dogfight. And with Ipswich, WBA and Leicester to play this month it looks even harder.

Agree with most of your post but if the coach/manager has no passion then he should not be in competitive sport. Look at the top managers for example Pep, Klopp, Ferguson and Wenger in his day all were brilliant and knew football inside out but all had a passion and desire. Manning is like a hologram. There is nothing there to inspire players or fans alike. A glance to the sidelines to see Pearson demanding more would get a reaction a look at Manning inspires nothing.

It has to happen quick. With Ipswich, West Brom and Leicester on the horizon.

That would mean Steve Lansdown admitting he was wrong. And we all know his arrogance is such that he will do anything to avoid that. Even to the detriment of the club and supporters. The bloke doesn't give a shit about the club or it's supporters. So it will not happen. Didn't he once say judge me on Tinnion. Well you were wrong the first time and are still wrong now.

Passion has surely got to be a key ingredient of any manager/coach. Yet Manning seems devoid of both. How he can show none and pass an interview shows if it needed to just how unfit the Lansdowns are to make any football decisions. And how the ones they have made continues erode our management and team. This can only go one way and that is relegation this year or next. And by then the Lansdowns will have eroded the fan base as well.

Have Steve Lansdown as the owner

To being smashed by Ipswich on Tuesday.

Any Manager who has Mehmeti in his squad let alone playing is beyond hope.

Manning is a disaster. One of Lansdown's worst appointments and there have been some bloody awful ones.

Well that certainly hasn't been the case in the past. There used to be a cracking atmosphere both home and away. And it meant a lot to players and supporters. But the effect of Manningball is like an anaesthetic. No fire , no passion on the pitch.
