Murphy a slight concern maybe. Move didn’t happen in the summer due to medical issues apparently. We obviously kept an interest despite a change in the management set up. Would hope they were thorough in their medical checks this time around.

This does have the feel of Christian Ribeiro about it. Let’s hope he can kick on from his injury set backs.

My money would be on QPR if they get relegated

Don’t panic guys, I hear this Kasey Palmer lad is better…

If he can let’s make sure we all give him a barrel of abuse when he doesn’t score 3 a game even though we have no one making chances for him.

I don’t think anyone has or is questioning the work Tinnion has done with the youngsters. But that’s the issue, stick to what you do well! It’s the going from career pathways to running the club that is the problem.

So just to be clear… someone who is defending the boards choice to fire Pearson and bring in the saviour that is Liam Manning, is also saying he could do a better job than Manning week in week out?!?!

Rotherham are gone given that the only 3 point they are likely to pick up will come at Ashton Gate in April!

Back to back games vs teams in the relegation zone and absolutely nothing to show for it! Every time I think Manning shows promise, Middlesborough and Southampton, we are reminded of the reality we face in having a manager clearly out his depth, all down to the Lansdown’s and Tinnion. Pathetic.

I get that, but I’d prefer a Luke Freeman over a JET or Tomlin

I’d be disappointed if he doesn’t get some first team game time this season as it draws to a close!

In flashes, yes. However, when he was on the pitch it was like playing with 10 men for 90% of the time. He was as much of the issue as he was the solution. We played much of our better football during the promotion season when Wilbs and Agard were on the pitch. He was a luxury to have waiting to come on.

I do not think there is an elephant in the room. Some people took the words of the Lansdowns and Tinnion literally, me being one of them. Because of this Manning gets stick when things don’t go our way. Others say they have seen enough to show promise and progress to move the club forward. The one thing most agree on is the words spoken by those running the club are complete BS!

There is many times I have felt the need to jump to Mannings defence since he arrived but his is one of them and summed up well by yourself. If we have someone who is good enough they will be given a chance. I’m sure the club made that clear to him when recruiting. The youngsters who joined in January also referenced the pathways to the first team and I don’t think the principles of that have changed in anyway.

They don’t get much time training together by all accounts, never able to work on things. Can only imagine they will be resting based on that.

Absolutely

I don’t think it’s a coincidence we do well against teams that want to play open football. We have no idea how to breakdown teams that keep it tight and solid.

Everyone to man was shocking today, but I have two main questions… McCorie looked massively off the pace which is understandable given how much of the season he has missed. But why the hell was Sykes the one to replace him and not Tanner? Sykes isn’t a right back and hasn’t played in how long which showed. But a worse call than that was leaving Wells on for the 90 mins. The worse of a bad bunch by far. Why was he not replaced with Twine? Wells is a bit part player at best nowadays. Offers very little other than running down the clock towards the end of a game. Truly awful game management today by the managerial team.

It’s not about what you would have taken, it’s about where we are at now. The fact we have taken 6 points from the previous two games makes 3 more today massive in terms of the league table.

Huge game today. Southampton result means nothing without 3 points against QPR.

Firstly an own goal. Secondly, if it isn’t an own goal it’s one of the biggest flukes you’ll ever see. Really don’t understand the excitement around it!

Funny how we see it. Thought he was very good tonight. Didn’t over complicate things. Did run at them when needed. Once in the first have forcing a save from their keeper. A moment of brilliance and the perfect delivery for the important opening goal which is usually the most critical part of his game.

Seeing as the football was so good I need to find something else to moan about so here it is… Those bloody buses after the game are getting on my nerves! Never ready to let people on as the crowd floods out which causes a build up. People queuing all over the pavement making it impossible to walk past. Surely they can find a better system for this. So annoying week in week out! There it is, feel a little better for it now.

It’s hard to say what our best 11 is. Mehmeti would be in there based on tonight’s performance. He could also easily be the first out the door in the summer within the next couple of games.

That’s the sort of football I can get behind! I will repeat what I’ve always said… we all want this club to succeed. It’s been hard to watch recently but hopefully that’s a sign of things to come.
