I’m no great LJ fan (that league cup run aside) but that’s not quite accurate in my view. He did do reasonably well at Sunderland for a time and won the JPT. Not great for a club of their size perhaps but was their first Wembley win and trophy for years. 

Pretty sure he will end up at Yeovil at some point!

Agreed I think Yeovil too at some stage, Fleetwood job never looked an appropriate fit.

Yes, I do.  Every week.  Without fail.

Agreed enjoy watching all the divisions, probably less interested in the City highlights as can watch them standalone in the mini Sky game highlights.

See the above by @Countryfile, what @Never to the dark sidementions isn't what was originally announced 

The five games he mentioned were going to be spread over the weekend slots and not all at 1230, with those not shown live being the seven Saturday afternoon 3pm games 

Can't see them all being at 12.30, as above I thought they were to be spread over the Fri to Monday period, from a Sky customers prospective all at the same time would be rubbish (bar there Opening Day Boxing Day etc plan)..

Stoke is a graveyard for managers of late, Schumacher was building something nicely at Plymouth as was Jones at Luton...I expect moving back up north was a contributory factor though...

Well it isn’t, Brentford/Brighton etc being obvious examples of the ‘big data’ models. Our problem is we’ve always been shit at using it effectively.  

Agreed it makes sense to me, no problem at all, love to be like Brent or Brighton..

You have never heard of kids football on a Sunday,Jesus Christ when I played as a kid I played Saturday and Sunday and that’s a long time ago and still exists,honest question have you ever played football 

I sometimes referee in the Woodspring Junior League, that's always Sunday 2pm ko Under 15's and 16's has been for years...

Expect there to be a lot more moving of kick off times and days next season under the new EFL TV deal.

I wouldn`t worry mate, it`s not going to be on TV so Saturday or Sunday for sure. The TV ones are pretty nailed on - Arsenal v Liverpool, Sunderland v Newcastle, Wigan v Man Utd and a couple of lower league at home ones.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a Sunday, seems to be lots of ties in London in the 3rd round..

He fell off?

Nothing here either 

Big game Bristol v Gloucester no problem, good to shake it up every now and then the odd Fri night or Sunday not everyone makes Saturdays.

Unnecessary for NP to go when he was just starting to build something IMO..but Liam Manning the most interesting and motivated option for me moving forward..definite risk but then aren't they all...feel enthusiastic about the appointment whatever happens.

Will Still has entered the betting

Interesting, a guy close to my seat yesterday said he lived near one of the players and then someone from Belgium had been strongly interviewed...

Excellent and balanced analysis @Harry. He could be good, but it seems like he will need to adapt unless it’s a complete rebuild of the squad.

This appointment could be peak Lansdown.  I.e. opposing the complete philosophy of the prior coaching team and less than ideal fit of players we currently have.

Good job we have a nest egg. And patience.

 

Quite like the concept of an appointment like this or Luke Williams but I can see us short term dangerously treading water in the division as players are changed and systems are adapted too... all a bit unnecessary compared to letting NP continue his project...

Luke Williams

'One Nigel Pearson' would do. But LOUD and for the whole 90 minutes.

Agreed,  this should be sung with passion tonight as a strong show of support especially with what Nige is going through personally.

One of my friends is coming with Ipswich in a couple of weeks, they have sold out their allocation....for a Wednesday night ...very impressive...

That is cheap. 

Agreed that's good no problem with that

Needs knocking down and rebuilt as well.... 

Agreed, only then will away fans be rehoused in my opinion...a few years off though until the Sporting Quarter is built and settled in...sure there's a provisional plan for the stand somewhere...

Scunthorpe and Buxton have been ordered to replay their National League North game, which was abandoned in the 96th minute after a torrential downpour.

Ridiculous..where's the common sense gone, result should stand ..

Scott leaving disappointed but expected,  Conway injured absolutely gutted ..was anticipating big things from our 66/1 striking  star...

Argyle supporting work colleague has his ticket for the Gate 2500 sold ..

Called it almost a year ago. Can see this happening now. He won’t get another football league job. 

With his Hearts connections Hibs was a ridiculous move like McLeish going to Villa or Benitez to Everton or Pulis coming to City can definitely see Yeovil but probably not yet ...he should go to League One and rebuild his career properly.

Surprised at what looked soo many empty seats in Block A yesterday thought Brum was a bigger attraction, must admit (though not in the know) thought that area would be pretty full this year.

Bournemouth have zero potential and will be plummeting down the leagues in the next few years.

It worries me that city show even less ambition. Once again City and its players kick the fans in the teeth.

 

Disagree,  I think Bournemouth will continue to surprise teams next year and keep moving forward, totally understand the move chance to play and impress at Prem level...

The queue for the new donut outlet, former tea/coffee outlet in the Lansdown was huge, one of the longest I’ve seen at an outlet.

Did anyone here try something from them? And was there anything besides doughnuts?

Funny queue was quiet when I got there but only 4 donuts left so must have been busy !  only saw the donuts fiver for coffee and donut ...my kind of pre match meal !
