That wouldn’t be the way I would see it. If they hold their hands up and admit it was a mistake bringing Manning in at the time they did I’d actually gain a modicum of respect for them - as long as they admit they got it wrong in the first place. Them doing that though is pie in the sky and will never happen. But they could.

The only one who had the balls to apologise which I appreciated tbf.

I actually was quite surprised that the atmosphere was pretty decent at the start of the game. It soon waned after about 10 mins of complete and utter dire football (from both sides)!

Superb Rob. Hopefully it’s on Twitter and Junior gets a look at it.

I thought before the Southampton, Boro, Wednesday and QPR swing that we could be really in trouble as I didn’t see us getting anything at all from the first two. We won the first two which were fantastic results but it’s just gone south since. Still think though we will end up 16th/17th. A shitshow but not relegated.

I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face. The best managers TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. In football and in life. Take some Manning ffs.

Oh I agree completely. Just can’t see it atm as I think we already have enough. It’s a sad position to be on though.

Still think we already have enough points as we are but that’s not a defence of the ******* shitshow being served up.

Yep, would’ve far preferred ‘Eustace’ Ball. And like Smodzics, that’s not hindsight either, it’s on record!

Let me refresh your memory…… Anyway I see you are now equating signing Dire as a first team squad member for 3 months with us signing Alex Scott as a 16 year old for the youth team, so I’ll leave it there.

So why is someone ‘beyond help’ if they think a player who has signed for 3 months should be in form for the period for which we have actually paid for his services?

Or not.

You’d imagine current form would have something to do with a loan signing though wouldn’t you. As that’s all it is. A loan signing for a few months.

So why wasn’t he loaned out during the window then? It’s piss poor planning from our DOF amd management team. That’s not ‘beating with a stick’ it’s just plain common sense planning.

I guess I’d answer it in 3 parts. a) I’d rather he stayed and was coached by Manning as to what he wants from him going forwards. Learn from the seniors whilst they are still here. Get on the bench and get minutes b) If that isn’t happening then I would want and EXPECT our DOF and his team to have worked on him getting a decent loan in January. League 1 clubs would’ve picked him up and top league 2 at worst. This is a player with champ experience this season. Z) if the new manager doesn’t want scenario A and the incompetents can’t arrange scenario B then I’ll take him going on loan and playing mens football. But National League south? **** me. He’s better than that and he should’ve been managed better. Much much better.

I’d rather he be given opportunities here NR - especially over the likes of Mebude.

Really really disappointed and makes no sense whatsoever to me, but we will see like you said. I know at that age Idve been more than disgruntled with what’s happened, from first team squad and sometimes playing under one manager to being discarded by the replacement coach who is supposedly so much better at developing players, you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t feel something was amiss here tbf. But I hope the lad takes it as an opportunity and shines.

Oh bugger. Now you’ve done it!! This will be like a visionary version of an ear worm until 2.30 Saturday when hopefully it’ll have gone away!

You’re seriously still pushing this bollocks?

Leicester Leeds Ipswich, Southampton, West Brom, Norwich/Hull in play offs. City 15th on 52 points (24 points off of top 6 / 13 points off relegation) QPR, Wednesday and Rotherham down.

Fair enough. We were promised improvement though. That what we were seeing under NP just wasn’t anywhere near good enough. And we just haven’t had it. At all. For many it’s regressed if anything. And Manning has had better resources for the most part (another reason let us not forget that Pearson was apparently sacked - for conditioning issues, time players had been given off as opposed to being ‘on the grass’ etc). Hence some people (anmd a growing number it seems) are asking whether this move has been for the best and debating a way forward. But I think you know all that anyway. I was just replying to your saying that we were shit that day. We weren’t. I walked away with my head held high. There was no bickering or murmurs in the crowd. People understood. The only shit show that day was the Welsh police and the kettling at the station!

It was actually a really good performance from mostly squad members and kids (James, Knight Lebel and Yeboah all featuring out of necessity). We even had more posession and better passing stats - something that seems to ‘excite’ a few on here about the current set up.

He’s dim af but there’s no way on gods Green and Blue Earth that he ever re appoints himself (although if he did it would be ******* hilarious for everything that would come with it)!

As opposed to you, who’s evidently so desperate to be on here as much as possible that you make up new usernames and new IDs to try and circumnavigate previous bans. The only shit show here is you.

Yeah - key word was successful . Something I just don’t ever see us becoming under this regime unfortunately, they don’t have the self awareness, the ability to admit mistakes or the footballing intellect (or any intellect in the case of BT and JL) for it to happen under their watch.
