This is true @Capman it's just so frustrating really, snatching stagnation and discord, chaos from the jaws of progress, some stability and reasonable harmony.

It is, the football is almost subbuteo like, we lack an understanding of playing as a team unfortunately we will need a new direction again next season

Pardon? According to Transfermarlet he’s started, and played the full 90, in the last 9 games. 

April Fools... You can watch his performances on YouTube via Aldershot site

This is honestly dreadful. Swansea will score and shut up shop.

There was something to build on after Southampton.

Sadly all we did is demolish what we’d already built

Syksey was seriously poor defensively tonight

Utter garbage and clueless. Time to go

Nige is one of the pundits commenting on the Leicester game at Lunchtime Saturday. It will be good to see him back involved in football again.

The most composed performance in a long long time, good times are a coming ..

I'm afraid Mehmeti failed the audition. The strength of an empty crisp packet.

Sad fact is you can't describe him as having no end product, there is no product at all. This unfortunately is above his level

But nothing has been put out by the club, so is setting the smokescreen up?

Probably fed to the media to deflect from the real candidate. Don't see him as the new coach we were going to be "excited" about

That's the iFollow post / video I was on about. So, he is clearly still at Oxford today, preparing for a game, and talking about a game. Not what you would expect about a manager about to leave.

I believe the Manning rumour is a smokescreen. He and his family are settled and he's building a good side at Oxford

We do the same thing at every away game

I believe it has been going since around covid times

Introduced by Josh Brownhill at a Xmas party

Takes a lot of thought to piece together an article that really nailed our situation. 

Not a toys out of the pram, but I have had enough of this club under the Lansdowns, so I'm staying away until they sell up and disappear and Rowett or Jones is gone as well

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to grieve!   There's been a lot spoke about SL not wanting promotion because it'll cost him more.   On the contrary SL is desperate for promotion because it's his exit strategy.   Much easier to sell a Premier League club than a Championship one. 

This isn't the way to go about it

I'm done with this club. I'll be back when the Lansdowns have gone

This. Like many before him (Skuse, Cisse) you don`t notice him when he plays but you definitely do when he doesn`t.

The players that make a side "tick" never get the glory. Most people would never give Matty James the credit he deserves

Can’t claim to never have had doubts, but this is the benefit of employing a proper manager with a proven record of success; it buys them time with the board and with the supporters. A rookie coach like Holden is never going to get the benefit of the doubt without a track record to fall back on; but Pearson still had the backing of most of us even when things were pretty crap last year because he had the pedigree to turn it around. We’re now being rewarded for that patience. Excited to see where it takes us.

It's good to see in his interviews the honesty. Openly says we aren't the finished article and isn't getting carried away by the results now. 

Its a collective result, players, coaching and management team and we the fans have a part to play. Stick with the team, it's going to be tough at times it's a hard league. Just believe and enjoy the ride!

Great to see us playing with both energy and quality. This really is a different side. Hats off to Nige

What is IPTV?

It's TV streamed over the internet. Best providers have 1,000s of channels, film, series and sports channels. I paid £140 for a year for a service. Sky would have cost me  ten times that

I think Scott played better than Weimann and Wells. Most of our attacks came down his side and he notched an assist too. I'd have him in the 6-7 range. 

Weimann was like the old Weimann before he got his super powers. He was less involved than usual and when he got the ball in dangerous areas his final ball was wayward. 

Wells played some nice stuff and some bad stuff all summed up in one move when he brilliantly brought the ball out of the air only to then miscontrol it out of play.

Williams didn't do much wrong and I'd give him a 7 and Conway an 8 for me.

It felt like it would be a goalfest right from the start. Very open.

Blackpool struggled with our neat build up play. We struggled with their more  agricultural 'direct' play.

In the end it was a really entertaining match, and whilst we're gutted to lose 2 points in injury time (PTSD triggered again), City played some lovely stuff, passing the ball nicely (actually enjoying possession!), and had some big positives to celebrate, namely the continuation of Tommy Conway's revelatory breakthrough and another lethal cameo from Antoine Semenyo.

If we can beat Huddersfield on Tuesday it'll be a good 4 points from 2 games. 

 

We didn't throw away all three points. That happens when you lose

As my mate said to me today . Get kalas back we’ll be better &  Naismith is a massive improvement . Credit where it’s due , vyner looks better having Kal in his ear all game. Proper leader Naismith . To have a player like klose on the bench says how well we’ve progressed . 

Naismith should have been made captain,  commanding presence all game

Never works though. Just play with a proper shape and be a bit more gung ho rather than have four forwards with hands on hips because nobody can get their foot on the ball to get it up to them.

Who ever thought putting Dan Bentley back was a step forward. It's back to hoof ball again and the ball comes back at us. Crazy

But I come away from the game still feeling very positive despite the result. We won’t be going up/down this season so results don’t matter too much. Seeing such an improvement in the past few months has been great to watch wether win/draw/loss.

More importantly, it's shutting down the sack Nige crap that destabilises the feeling that we are going in the right direction. It takes time to clear out people who aren't on the bus so to speak and to bring in players who fit our system. Just back the players and Manager we will get there

This is it. We are starting five or six academy products per game. Disasters are going to happen but the players getting a chance now are going to be players with experience in the future.

Good to see most of us a accept Fulham were a different class. We are work in progress and need to ship a few on but there are incouraging signs.

Keep the faith everyone
