Conway 1 on 1, takes it too far wide and strikes into the keepers chest. Should’ve gone for a chip at that angle.

3-0 Lincoln

Could’ve easily said the same about Semenyo before he came good. I still think he has the assets to be brilliant for us. But can understand your point and it does do my head in as well when he cuts back about 4 times before passing.

what’s these rumours?

Coventry 90+7 equaliser and a 90+10 winner jesus christ

Really don’t get the Mehmeti slander tbh. Yes he’s wasteful at times and needs to learn when to release a pass but i think he’s done alright second half of the season tbh.

Hasn’t everyone been complaining the last fortnight that manning wasn’t naming a full bench and leaving u18/21s out?

Tbf they combined brilliantly against oxford in the Cup, all be it against league one opposition but it’s been a pairing i’ve wanted to see more of all year.

A Joe Williams injury imagine my suprise

He was arguably the best centre back in europe last year.

It’s hard to put value on natural assets though. Antoines pace and power is rare to find, especially with the technical ability alongside it. He definitely needs to add more chance creation to his game, is a bit of a cut in and shoot merchant at times. But that can all be worked on, the best example of someone who has his natural traits and the technicals he needs is Rafael Leao. Thought of as one of the best wingers in europe. Not saying he will get to that level but i don’t see a reason why Antoine can’t be playing for a top 6 side in a few years time. With the speed of attacking play I think he would be a shoe in at spurs personally.

Vast majority in the ground tbf. The football on display is a factor but the current location of s82 doesn’t make creating an atmosphere impossible. Not in the slightest. I could sit here and rattle off games where the atmospheres been very good as easily as people can rattle off games where it’s been nonexistent. If you sit in the singing section, call yourself section 82 and have the arrogance to demand to be relocated at the expense of other season ticket holders at least prove you deserve it. You choose to sit in the “singing section” so fking sing imo.

You’d think after the year we’ve had, most liked manager in almost a decade sacked, underperforming replacement, academy in youth cup SF, good first team cup run, 10 points behind season objective (according to JL) and 30m in the bank with barely any spent he’d of made some sort of communication. It really is laughable at this point.

I think Tins also takes a lot of the flack and anger from fans as he’s the only staff member above LM thats visible. JL last talked about city in what october? Pretty sure Gavin had an interview around then as well. Steve? cant for the life of me remember the last time he talked about city through city channels. Brian’s there, he’s on SOTC he’s at games so people finally have a person to share their concerns or more likely shout their abuse at. Similar to the start of the season when all the frustrations over the lack of investment post scott sale were aimed at Pearson, who quite rightly replied “why the hell are you asking me?”.

.

Condolences for Scott and the rest of the Murray family.

At least nobody can say everyone at the club isn’t on the same wave length! A disjointed and defensive interview to match a disjointed and defensive performance on sunday.

To clarify, that isn’t the whole response. Only the first half including the 30 years but which WSM asked about.

His exact words: “A lot of fans are asking, quite possibly to your face, how much involvement you had in the appointment of LM and… is there as much pressure on you as him to succeed?” “I’ve been in this football club for 30 years, i’m a supporter of the club, i want the club to be successful and i’m working very very hard at it. I’ve earned the right to be where I am, I worked 12 years in the academy making it as successful as it’s ever been and i’m working as hard in the first team department to do the same. I work really close with the recruitment department who have been fantastic… I work to supplement and help the HC… I work the exact same with Liam as I did with Nigel” A response charged by emotion and probably shows his inexperience in a role as public as this but not as bad as some describe imo. The comments on TC signing a new deal followed by mentioning having 3 strikers for a coach who plays 1 next season was worse imo. As was the comments about Bajic and some of the U21s.

Well then, fair enough Didn’t watch that video, glad i didn’t based off those.

Would really love to hear what Phil Alexander has to say about the board/senior employees. Would be very revealing me thinks. Thought the same all season RE a couple of additions. For me, a couple £1-2m signings in the key areas we lost with championship experience could’ve made a huge difference. Only lost three games all season by more than a 1 goal margin. Some composure and championship know how could’ve changed quite a few results I feel. (There’s a reason our midfield looks best when matty james is playing in it!) And there were some top talents ooc in the summer as well, still feel if we went if for Ogbene sooner we could’ve got him in. Felt like such a good opportunity to push on with a manager that had galvanised virtually every stakeholder at the club. Feeling angry now even talking about it, like you said unnecessary and completely unforgivable!

Well put - and totally agree. Was always going to be an interview that received backlash no matter what Tinnion said. Personally I quite like that he was a bit defensive, he’s passionate about our football club. Not some corporate robot that doesn’t understand football the way we do. Also don’t think he meant don’t compare us to coventry they’ve sold two players for tens of millions. Think he meant comparing us to them this season is futile, whereas maybe we will be spending the money we got for our two players this summer so a better comparison can be made off the back of that. I could be very wrong so i apologise but i don’t think at any point Tinnion said we had a top 6 squad? The only person who said that was JL. Tinnion obviously has a better grasp on our current squad/championship in general and henceforth didn’t say that. 10 points better off would give us a season average that would get us playoffs in 2/4 of the last championship seasons. So essentially he wants to be either in or right on the brink of play offs 37 games into next season? Think that’s a perfectly acceptable goal imo. The only things I thought were glaringly wrong with the interview were his comments on TC and Bajic. Maybe showing his inexperience in the role there, but talking about their future live on air probably not a brilliant idea. Saying we want to keep TC but have three strikers next year for a manager who plays one was just a silly thing to say. The root of our problems lie right at the top and they are infecting everything else on the way down. JL might still be passionate about the club but his father certainly isn’t. And quite frankly they’ve had their chances. Condensed opinions: Lansdowns - Out Tinnion - needs people with experience around him, experts at running a football operation, but still think he was better suited as academy director. Manning - Very unsure, off of what we have seen don’t think he is currently the man for the job, would need to finish the season with a better points tally then the last one for that opinion to change.

They’ve nullified all of our threats without getting out of first gear. Manning well and truly out of his depth. Such an unneeded and unnecessary change which has sucked the life out of the club.

looks a lot more empty then i expected, wouldn’t surprise me if this is our lowest league attendance of the season.

Just finished both this interview and Tinnions, anyone else get a feeling there is a huge amount of arrogance between them? They sound like everything’s hunky dory, although we are outsiders we are at the edge of a relegation battle and will certainly be in one if we lose on sunday. Hearing them speak you would think we are challenging at the opposite end of the table.
