Correctly ruled offside

If it wasn't for the block the Chelsea guy is right there to head it clear 

Thats aside of the fact it's a foul too

Totally hear you with this that they want a beautiful pure promotion.

However I never had the feeling this was just a job for Pearson. I felt like he was absolutely invested in us and would have taken as much pleasure in getting us promoted as say LJ who was as part of the furniture with us as you are gonna get in professional football

And I will add its the opposite feeling with Manning

Not invested with Bristol, not invested with Bristol City, just a step on his ladder

I’ve never ever been able to shake the feeling that the powers that be want our promotion to the PL to be perfect and pure, in the sense that it’s everyone’s ’first time’. 
 

I’ve absolutely no evidence on that, but shrugging off the likes of Hughton & Pearson who’ve had greater success than our current position for much more inexperienced ‘up and comers’ (even Cotts to LJ) to me has always had an air of purity around it, in that we want everyone to celebrate it for the first time together. Not explaining that well but hopefully makes a smidge of sense. 
 

I remember being at Leicester and seeing the incredible reception for Pearson, King & James and having a nagging feeling at the time that Tinnion, JL et al must’ve been looking on ******* hating it. “well why haven’t they done that for us??”

KNOCK KNOCK

Is there anyone out there (except the Lansdown's and Mr Gay) who want Tinnion in??

The funniest thing about the incompetence at the top is:

(And I will set aside the pure nastiness of not trying to replace Scott in any way and the other nonsense from them)

At the time of Pearsons sacking I would say 70% of fans wanted him to get a new contract as they could see the progress being made, albeit at a slower than hoped for rate.

25% would have wanted to wait till the end of the season.

5% and no more than 5% if even that would have wanted him sacked at the time he was

ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS NOTHING. Ride out the new contract speculation, see how the season pans out. We are either challenging for the play offs right about now and happy days. OR we aren't, we are where we are now, and any decision to sack is probably rightfully made due to no progress. New man has 10 games to get his feet under the table ahead of next season. Fanbase more on board with any sacking decision.

They just could not bear the thought of Pearson doing well. ONLY possible reason for their actions.

I notice Brownhill was sent off for a very similar offence yesterday.

Correct decision and I bet it doesn't get overturned, or even appealed

I messaged in to the pod saying that was nonsense argument.  In fairness to Dave, he hosted the pod really well tonight.

There was some reeling back by Dave from the one eyed shit he has participated in over the last few weeks, yes I will give him that 

The games against the Welsh have bore draws written all over them

Lose at Ipswich and versus Leicester

Might sneak something unexpected on the break against WBA to keep the Bristol Sport employees happy

SOD like many managers, who we’ve had over the last few decades, have mostly all been managers who’ve been successful prior to coming here and most fans have been wanting to be here. All have pretty much failed. Why?

 I’m thinking pretty much all after Joe Jordan bar Gary Johnson have failed pretty much

Steve Cotterill and Nigel Pearson were most definitely not failures 

Ian Gay 'a small minority of the fanbase didn't want Manning as they wanted to retain Pearson'

@headhunter @Curr Avon

Do you agree with this plainly nonsense statement or if not why are you not challenging his bullshit?

Stoke in the relegation zone as it stands, bloody brilliant

Vyner and Dickie both look confused/furious about having no midfield passing options. Having to go long every time from the back here.

100-1 that both are here next season

We are in a cut throat division with two clubs already getting rid of underachieving newly appointed managers.

This would never been my default position, more give a manager a long term contract and let him get on with it. Ideally this would have been Pearson though

With this guy there appears to be zero improvement, going backwards so it's only right his position is questioned

But ultimately all my hate and disrespect is focused on the Lansdown family and their arse licking Geordie sidekick

We sacked Pearson for this. 

A LOT less

Good to see season ticket holders turn up at Leeds though 

Proper full stadium, great atmosphere 

Lucky Leeds

Can't believe PNE fans usually want Lowe out

He's performing miracles with their budget, great manager

Quite! My mortgage broker doesn't cost me anything, gets his grand from the bank 

Can't believe he's still going

What a legend 

Players like him are what make football fun

We've lost a lot of that

And QPR?? ? Its always a sell out, good away support at home and away games

Most of us felt that result, and/or something similar this weekend were on the cards as 'Lamball' is now so good v top teams but is yet to prove itself against poorer sides.

However, there's another angle to the QPR loss where I'm struggling to remember a home win in that fixture for 12,13 or maybe 14 games. Anyone who keeps or likes looking up stats can tell us. 

We won 4 in a row at home between 2017 and 2019, now lost 4 in a row

Let's hope that the start of MK Dons 22/23 season is not replicated for us in 24/25

Quote: 'Following an awful start to the season that found his side in the relegation zone, Manning was sacked on 11 December 2022 having accumulated just fifteen points from twenty matches, six points from safety and only off the bottom on goal difference'

 

It's a concern of mine, particularly if he rips up our solid if unspectacular central midfield in the summer
