“harsh” Jesus Wept

Speaks volumes about the poster doesn’t it Not that it’s a shock

Congratulations - the first 🛎 end to start this tonight

Midfield masterclass - knitted the whole thing together Would be madness to let him slide away IMHO

In terms of performance , the opponents a pp club , on their run , the way LM set us up and the individual and collective performances , and the result to round it off ,that’s about as good as it’s come for a few years probably Well done LM and every player who executed the game plan so well - that’s the standard we should be aspiring to now ️

Maybe they are just very small areas Graham

Mind you , as recently as Saturday they were still knocking out the pasties , they managed to salvage from the embers

What a cracking night that was ! Up there with the very very best if carlsberg did away nights ️

Delighted for him - something very likeable about him Quiet , unassuming , zero ego , and gets his head down and gets on with it - has settled and improved bit by bit Good on him and an excellent piece of recruitment

I think that’s the most sensible explanation I have seen suggested KITR Its what I thought Manning may say I guess the question is ( In the overall in game management debate ) is whether that change aided us or hampered us in second half. If you are correct in why the change , the circumstances of the Cup game etc may mean it’s a difficult one to judge in the overall debate ( Just listening to the various and opposing views )

For those that saw it can I ask , out of interest Did we start to come under pressure , or lose our ‘dominance’ , in the period before h/t

It was all a bit woolly and as you say a poor interview I didn’t see the game , so difficult to comment , and difficult not having seen , other than others descriptions , exactly what transpired But all I’d say - the overall subject of in game management / tactically is actually an important one (For any Head Coach / Manager - not just LM) One of several key skill areas which will dictate how successful you are Fwiw And overall what I’ve seen , In game adaptability and tactical tweaks is a bit of a concern for me

I didn’t see the game so am following the subject of the change in formation and the second half with interest But , in his interview he’s just given in RB he didn’t explain it , said how effective we were and how well we excecuted the plan in the first half, suggested Cornick was knackered hence the sub , didn’t explain why he went to a 5 but ‘you are always going to come under pressure’ , and thought it worked well in the second half So I’m still none the wiser why he actually changed

Manning just coming on RB - will be interesting if he gets asked

Burnt Pasty Chewers 1. Brewers 2 Shucks

Well earned win boys ️

For anyone interested , a juicy German game at 1730 on Sky with Leverkusen hosting Bayern in a crunch game

Fewers 0 Brewers 2 They need to sharpen up if they are going to get that Play Off Charge on back tracK

Well said Sam Bell or <Insert Name Here> <Choose any of the various expensive , overpaid , disinterested , waste of money signings , with no interest in Bristol City , since we’ve been back in Championship)

Coin toss IIRC Shootout at Walsall to decide who hosted the Play Off , play off final

Nor did that bloke Ferguson.....

RIP Fellow Red Keep the red flag flying high

Sure Was just thinking it's a subject thread never out of date as it’s about the future and a little about now without creating another sub forum where the informative posts may still get lost I was thinking more a pinned thread where , for example last nights report or a Pete Hinton or Tom Sutton type overview could be reposted / quoted or whichever on the pinned thread , either by the op or someone else seeing value in it ,for a bit of a evolving overview archive / of the up and coming age groups And it would be interesting to look back at over the seasons to come ! Just an idea and dependent on others and of course mostly mod views

Excellent , thankyou Always good to hear people’s thoughts and overview of the up and coming And Well done the lads - good win and no mean achievement to get to ? 1/4 finals ? Mods ( @phantom ?) would it be possible to consider either a ‘Age groups / Academy’ pinned thread where some of these excellent posts and overviews like @petehintonand @TomSutton and others have compiled recently about the up and coming age groups, could be added - Always find them interesting and help fill a knowledge or understanding gap of mine , and probably many others) Sometimes you want to go back and reread them when a name comes up or appears in first team squad and it’s not easy to relocate them (And that the effort that’s gone into them , the information , eventually gets lost and wasted as such) Any post in any thread that gives good information , overviews , about any of the age groups could be quoted to link them at least on the pinned thread and it would be an interesting read and source of anyone interested and an interesting read back as their careers evolve ?
