This sprinkler is the most exciting part

"Bristol City don't look interested" from the Jacks TV guy sums it up

Down to 27% possession now

Boos coming across quite loud now. So so bad

Then Tinnion needs to step up and tell them that it's the wrong decision and that this is not the way forward. Instead, he moved up a role himself! Either way it's pathetic all round and he deserves all criticism from it

Chris Hogg always looks bored af as well

Made the right decision to stay home based on the first 16 minutes of nothingness

Luckily we have such a great pipeline of young talent to fill those spaces..

The "manager / head coach" is arguably the most overhyped role in all of football. Far more important is the structure behind them and the players in front. You need all 3 of those parts to align to have success. We've got none at the moment

Perhaps I'm being too simple and maybe he does excel in this kind of role, but it also seems a pretty easy role? How much of the U18 success is based on big investment in youth levels and just talented young players they have? I struggle to see how there would be any difference with a "technical director" overseeing that. Things like sending Yeboah out on loan is easy to talk about as a good thing. "We sent Semenyo there." OK but dozens of others have been sent there and never came back.

More delusion and flat out lies, I see.

I don't think he needs to sell, but he just needs to employ competent people below him. Jon, Tinnion, Gavin Marshall etc quite clearly aren't the right people They were somewhat on the right track with Mark Ashton, other than allowing free reign to waste so much money I thought/hoped Phil Alexander would be the right person to give us the direction we needed but he was also somewhat bizarrely binned off

Any reason you only added 3 more games to that?

Not sure if we'd be top but it's certainly not bad either. Against those teams, we've won 6, drawn 5 and lost 4. 23 points from 15 games. Was our record against the bottom teams as noticeably bad before Manning took over?

Including the 8+ minutes of injury times when Max had more of the ball than all our attackers combined?

Don't worry. I'm sure Dr Lansdown is looking into this as we speak

It was a "much improved" performance from absolutely shite baseline. And even then we still lost and got battered last 20 minutes once Ipswich turned up

Probably not entirely relevant to this thread, and somewhat harsh on Manning, but I still can't help be majorly disappointed that we got rid of decent, respected, experienced football people (Pearson, Flemming, Euell, Rennie) and replaced them with this. What a waste

Can't be bothered to watch but surely he didn't actually say only 1 bad performance in 20??

Obviously it was just one game and it's not fair to purely judge Manning on that, but it still seems so bizarre to me that we've replaced a manager with a lower level one that got hammered by us in the same season I'd imagine that might be the only time that's ever happened Pearson must be just so baffled

I'm off. See you in the prem

Different level but Sheffield United look even worse than us! Brighton 2-0 and cruising

Weird thread imo. You want to do as well as possible surely?
