It’s much, much easier to play without fear when you’re already losing

Tell you what, Saturday is a really big game now.

Could we? We did absolutely nothing for a whole half

Oh my Christ those subs….what????!!!

Ironically look a lot better now that we’ve resorted back to what we’ve been good at all season

As all the other games, the minute we concede under Manning so far we seem to just totally lose all identity, structure, and totally run out of ideas

Oh my god hahahahhahahaha

Thank god for Knight, Sykes and Dickie over these last few weeks is all I’ll say

Yep, as I said Saturday, we may as well write this season off already in my eyes. So we’re back to wishing time away as City fans, again.

What’s boring? Just relaying what we’ve all been told

Top 6 squad, best we’ve ever had

I’ve maintained all season I would drop him for Atkinson as soon as he’s fully fit

Sorta standard stuff under manning so far. We play lovely stuff but, really, create **** all.

Perfect stream on sports-10 for anyone looking.

I really can’t believe he hasn’t been sacked. The bloke is clearly so out of his depth it’s unreal. I’m shocked at how unscathed he has come out of the stand debacle, as well as the JCH stuff too.

Heard similar earlier. Sounds like they are absolutely falling apart. All the coaches have left as they were all Barton’s men and he had been given so much power there they’ve all gone with him, including director of football. New owners son who’s really young has been put in charge to run the day to day and has no idea what he’s doing. Matt Taylor has gone in like a bull in a China shop, nailed the players loads and cancelled their Christmas party last minute. His assistant at Rotherham is being kept on by Richardson, so he essentially has no coaching staff to work with other than Bryan Anthony and their centre of excellence coaches having to step up. They’re charging £38 a ticket for some games as they’re losing so much money from the new stand delays - that is now up, and blocking the floodlights causing a decent chunk of the penalty box on that side to be in total darkness. I don’t think being called total amateurs is even doing it justice.

In fairness, he’s not gonna come out sulking and slagging the coaching staff of is he? Will sit and take notice of his commitment to excitement once he signs a new deal

There was a very big blow out at the ground after he was sacked apparently, something to do with Holden wanting to be the one to tell the players & his family and them not find out via the media the next day (so could we wait until the morning to announce it), but MA refused (dunno on what grounds). Also heard at that time when Chris Brunt got his injury (remember, Ashton gave it the green light for him to drive 4 hours to training and back every day at his ripe old age relative wise to the point he was in his career), that it was recommend by the club to him (dunno if Rolls) that he should have surgery on to allow him to play for the club quicker, rather than straight rest & rehab it. Serious surgery on a bad calf injury…at 35….******* worrying to have someone genuinely recommend that. God knows the implications it could’ve had on him in later year. Sort of sums the state of the club at at that time. The club had become a crèche under his management though, let’s be honest. All well and good letting others step up, but you need to be accountable ultimately and you can’t just tell people to take on a leadership role if they aren’t ready or don’t want to. Didn’t Kalas say he felt embarrassed and not ready at all to be captain, but felt it wasn’t something he could say no to because of the optics that would have?

He would absolutely be the new Swansea manager if he hadn’t come here

So are you saying Tanner is on a par as Nicky Hunt when it comes to how poor he is for us?

You weren’t born yet in 2010?!?!

Nothing manager, nothing club. Can’t see anyone getting it right there.

How the **** is that not a red, let alone not even a card? I despair at what elite football has become, honestly. What is the point of VAR.

No. Unles the club didn’t disclose that at the time, which would be an odd thing to do.

Was good, hopefully he can give us a bit of a different option for the rest of the season if he can stay consistently fit. Still be amazed if he’s not released in the summer.
