REDOXO

That is the problem there is no change Same possession based football, same subs at the same times. He does not seem to have the ability to alter his way of playing before ko and during the game! I don’t think it’s a matter of he won’t change it’s more a matter of he can’t! If I was SL I’d be fuming at what junior and BT have done. Firing Manning and his team if autometrons is going to cost a bloody fortune and then who are you going to get in. The technical director is the only football man left. If you fire him you have to have a plan in place We are in an utter nonsensical gut wrenching position for no good reason.

The issue with the time off was we were relying on players who were semi fit or in the U18/U21 squads and a few stalwarts. OLeary Dickie and Vyner come to mind. They did need the time off! The fact JL made those statements was much more of an indictment of Tinnion who was sadly putting shit like that inside his head to say. Now the three mentioned above definitely need the time off. The rest of them as I said above need to get away from this bloke. Far far away for as long as possible and hopefully when they get back he’s gone!

Knight at times has been our best player, I guess that’s why he’s been captain. But at the moment he looks off it! McCrorie. Who knows. The bloke has had some horrible disease. I guess we can’t judge until next season. Gardner-Hickman looked great until a few weeks after Manning arrived. The bloke is currently going through the motions Mehmeti. He’s had a few flashes and the odd goal but….. Most wouldn’t care if he was in the squad or not. IMO Dickie. Brilliant signing Cornick has never got going. I’m not sure where he even fits if anywhere Who knows about the others mentioned

Dull is an understatement for our current team of top six under performers. Are we dull as a club. Yeah I think so. Even Jose Marinhio commented that he would threaten to send players to Bristol City!

I believe Mr Manning has said they will get extra time off over the coming days! (Yes we all get the irony) Personally I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The more the bloke is around them on the training ground the less competent they become as a team. We can hope that Mr Manning is relieved in the next few days and the senior pros can take the training. However I very much doubt that and so JL and SL will keep doubling down on this guy! But hey their money their choice….My money my choice too!

I’m not sure Bristol Sport is that big a deal to me. After all they brought the Rugby to AG and I don’t have a problem with that. However the nuttiness that surrounded the firing of Steve Cotterill was when I first thought there is something seriously wrong. UnLike Ipswich this season who really kicked on, we didn’t. The acrimony between Cotterill and Lansdown was pretty obvious at the time and has been commented on many times! The odd employment of LJ and the my money my choice statement further fueled the increasing sense of division. The appointment of Holden, and the constant ramblings of Swiss Tony deepened the divide until the board of directors/ ownership had dug us a deep hole. Enter one of the few men Steve Lansdown has employed that knew what he was doing to try and dig us out. Who he would inevitably fire! Just when we were showing huge progress and the supporters were behind it we find ourselves without a competent CEO and the promotion of certain individuals to make shit decisions again! Culminating in this bullshit. It’s little wonder the natives are restless! We are now without competent leaders at every level of the club!

Because the manager will not support it. The manager wants robots. So who is going to go it alone?

Could be!

I liked Marks synopsis of the first goal, however what Mr Manning was referring to in his post match was the cross field pass that was cut out. From Knight I think. This I think is key. Our players fear making a mistake and play that way…!

It’s a strange one. The rigorous process of replacing a highly respected manager was a pre season friendly and a game where he was thrashed. Surely there was some kind of process to interview prospective candidates. But it seems not. Yes as someone on here likes to say, he’s a mood Hoover it’s utterly bizarre watching and listening to him. If I think he’s bizarre then what must the players think? We are unwatchable for the most part to a point that our supporters are singing we’re effing sh**! we have Leicester in two weeks a match that should be a sell out with an electric atmosphere but it’s clear we will have masses of empty seats to watch utter garbage! I don’t know what to think about this right now. Surely SL is aware of what is happening!

Good to know!

Good to know!

I was watching on tv and thought I heard it too!

Did we not do any background on this bloke before hiring him! How on earth did this guy get to pick and train our team He trots out the same crap every week with no recognizable personality. Which surprise surprise shows up in our team each week What has happened TGH Knight and particularly Conway. The latter is a shadow of the player he was! Christ someone make this stop!

Brilliant. I want one! God I hope Roy has got this one right!

I have wondered that! Its like he’s interviewing! He is not wrong in someways that it’s easy to say the majority shareholder and his offspring should go, but something has to change! We are awful and we get a radio broadcaster making excuses for the manager and club on the air followed by that call in. Tomorrow I’m sure everyone on FBC will tell it like it is!

What does Matt Withers see I don’t?

We had 7 players in the squad at Cardiff who were either U18 or U21s. It was an utterly horseshit decision at a time we were struggling to have a first team squad and were yet only 4 points off the play off places. We are obscenely crap under Manning with far more availability!

Says everything that needs to be said!

Fixed

Yes uninspiring but solid. Not so much now 2/0

Blimey! I’m influential!! Really?

She was wearing a blue dress and a matching hat. She spoke in a very cut glass upper middle class way. Sadly she didn’t bring her pussy or if she did it was well hidden!

I think you over rate my influence NOGBAD. I am neither a decision maker or admin However I personally prefer it!

Peggy Mount bless her. I sold a pair of shoes to Molly Sugden in Peter Lord Guildford in 79!
