Strange post. Id like our club to have a season again in the top tier. Probably like most, right? A season up there would secure our future for a couple of years, may speed up additional investment, raise the profile, further consolidate the youth of Bristol as reds. If you are really talking about this season, I’d like to see progression. That’s what we’ve been sold. Therefore, top 8.

Pleased for him that he showed his worth and doing it against one of the best in the league too. Will feel both him and us with confidence that he can do it at this level.

Plenty of posts on here tonight @italian dave and deservedly so. Superb from minute one till the death.

Manning - got it spot on. Kudus to him and the coaching team.

Agree. Often forget it’s there.

I’d try chocolate rather than coming on here for a sense of happiness. Perhaps, just perhaps, people were enjoying the 3 points outside of this forum.

Why is not shelling out a fiver to support the forum relevant?

He has been one of our most reliable and consistent performers this year. As he’s unfashionable he won’t get mentioned, however, I’d have him in contention for our player of the season. Certainly young player (although Tommy will probably pick that up as he is the poster boy).

I’m unsure. That’s a couple of times he’s done this and it’s weakened us / took us out of a rhythm. -
But but Leeds have 30m worth of talent on the bench … or that was the reason stated by many as to why we were taught a lesson. Can’t compete blah blah blah.

Perhaps if our form over the last 6 games was 15+ points out of 18 rather than 3, we would be talking about putting a few bob on. However, our next couple of games are Boro and Southampton. We’ll do well to pick up a couple of points here.

Thought it was a good POD to be fair, with some great points raised. For me that was Tom’s best appearance of the season. Totally agree that Manning is very rigid in his methods. I applaud LM’s confidence but I do think he’s underestimating this level of football. We are very one dimensional at the minute, and the same in-game changes are very naive. Again, tin hat on, but I agree with Tom re McCrorie - everyone is getting a little overexcited in my opinion. Yes he’s been physical, he’s demanding of his teammates and an aerial threat but technically he isn’t there (yet). Hopefully that’s more to do with him returning from a long lay off but the jury is out at the minute. Talk of throwing in youngsters, Joe Low style, are ridiculous as was the suggestion of Sykes, Atkinson and Naismith being throw straight back in without any U’21 action. I’m all for cameo roles for experience or to bring players up to speed fitness wise, but Ian is way off for me there. The previous medical regime had taken stick (unwarranted I might add) for chucking players in too soon. No doubt Ian was frantically googling Raekwon Nelson’s position at one point when picked up by Tom. Im not happy with Mark’s view that we may have to get worse to get better, why? Our recruitment team have procured players to fit a style as part of the overall playing strategy. It has been intimated recently that should a manager depart, nothing significantly changes - if in the summer it does then Brian Tinnion has appointed the wrong coach. Finally, we are hearing the season is over and we are starting AGAIN in the summer. Therefore, play a decent side against Forest and let’s get ourselves a game against United. That’ll give us something to look forward to over the bland garbage currently being served up. Did chuckle when Ian said “if you are going to take the piss, I won’t tell you anymore”. Grown bloke. If he could’ve blocked you all from the POD at that point he probably would have

Whilst I haven’t listened to the POD I can actually understand this. I don’t believe Conway will fulfill his potential here. We currently are not playing to his strengths; both style and set up. As and when he departs, hopefully he selects the right club that will suit him, and it’ll see him go up a number of levels. Fingers crossed we get top dollar though.

I know. They compete despite the odds against them.

Luton beat 30m Joao Pedro’s Brighton in the week and have Cauley Woodrow on the bench.

With half a fit squad.
