The debate on the logistics of it have been done to death on here but the 'singing section' needs to be expanded IMO. The demand is there even for league games when we have the usual 21/22 k attendances but its even more clear on nights like last night that expanding it would be the right move. Not sure how it would work with existing season ticket holders but something is going to have to give. Expanding it all the way along the back of the SS seems logical to begin with.

**** sake the rugby markings on the pitch look awful

Yet again it's the Lansdown's lurching from one strategy to another. You are quite right in what you say, the club came out in a united front on the loan subject when asked. This wasn't just Nige it was the Ceo at the time and Tinnion that backed the manager up on why they are basically just a huge waste of money.. As i said, history repeats itself. Steve and the boy just lurch from one ideology to another, they haven't got a ******* clue what they are doing and Tinnion is just the mouthpiece that spouts whatever crap they want him to spout at the given time.

Indeed, he will always be remembered for that season, terrific numbers. Personally i was a huge fan of Andi, what he sometimes lacked in quality he always made up for it in work rate and effort. That is all you can ask from players that they give it 100% and that is something Andi did everytime he put on our shirt.

The same complaints were all over twitter when we played Man City in the cup last season aswell. So 6 years later and the club still haven't taken onboard the criticism, just about sums us up really - ******* amateur from top to bottom at this club.

Be careful what you wish for as i really don't fancy us in a relegation battle, certainly not with this squad anyway. Too many weak minded bottlers amongst them IMO. As much as i agree with what you are saying about things being painfully boring over the last 6 or 7 seasons, going back to League 1 would be a disaster for the club. No guarantee we would bounce back in 2 season like we did last time aswell. I don't know about you but i have seen far too many seasons of us being in the third tier - it's ******* dire.

The thing is, if it wasn't clear at the time it is crystal clear now.. Nigel was never dismissed for the reasons the Lansdowns publicly gave.. It was IMO a personal vendetta/fued that led to Pearaons sacking.. they knew manning or any new manager couldn't get any better out of this current squad but they had to publicly peddle that narrative.

Same old city for me as others have said. We aren't going anywhere with the current structure, its mid to lower mid table championship finishes for the foreseeable IMO. Credit to the fanbase for still turning up in their numbers though, to be averaging 22,000 at home is incredible and the Lansdowns should feel extremely lucky that we keep turning up week in week out.

They are such a poor team but it's not exactly these sort of physical anti footballing teams that we struggle against time and time again.

If Mehmeti could work on his decision making he could be some player at this level. He is such a frustrating watch.

my thoughts aswell. pitch looks pretty shocking in places.

haha ******* useless.

Can never turn your nose up at a point away from home in this league, win Monday and it will top off a very good festive period..

Still far too early to predict anything long term IMO however the early signs are good from Manning and Hogg. Many people on here (myself included) will be eating some humble pie tonight, i will be the first to admit i was probably far too critical of the new management team when they came in but fair play they are proving me and many others wrong and long may it continue.

fair play we are all over them - need to try and push for a second goal now.

If the standard of officiating over there is anything like it is in this country then i can't blame them. Maybe if clubs in this country made more of a stand against some of the appalling VAR and other decisions made then the FA, Premier league and EFL might actually do something about constructive about it..

Schumacer is somebody i wish we went for to be honest. Can see him being be a good appointment for Stoke. As for Plymouth fans unfortunately he was always going to go as soon as a bigger club came calling IMO. No disrespect to them but they are punching above their weight being at this level.

Totally agree. Re signing James on slightly lesser terms would be ideal - he still has a lot to offer IMO.

As others have said for the reported fee it was always a low risk gamble wasn't it in reality. On paper he came here with a track record of such at this level already with Luton so can see why Nige and the recruitment team were willing to take a punt on him.

Take that. Hopefully gets a bit more positivity back in the club and us as fans. Onwards and upwards.

I agree, 100%. I know the Championship was a different landscape back in 07/08 but the principles remain the same IMO. We punched above our weight that year through grit and determination and players that wanted to give everything for the shirt under GJ. For me it just felt like Nige was building that sort of 07/08 siege mentality that we had under GJ and with a bit of financial help i personally feel we were heading for the playoffs at a minimum. Maybe not this season but certainly next. Hugely frustrating isn't it.

I hear you. It's not that i don't like this group of players.. personally it's for me it's the most likeable group we have had in a while, they are battlers grafters and will do anything for the shirt, i can't fault them for that but they just aren't good enough if we want to push on. Im ranting on but for me under Pearson i was just starting to enjoy watching BCFC, aslong as we kept our championship status i was happy with seeing a team full of committed players albeit slightly limited in skill.. I have just had a gutsful of yet what is clearly going to have to be another rebuilding job under Manning when there was no need..

sound lads just wanted to confirm it in black and white, we are being taken for absolutely mugs aren't we Lansdowns out..

100% agree. This public stating of Top 6 prowess is not only delusional but baffling that when we have been in positions of much better talent and actual clout in regards to a play-off push the Lansdown's have said nothing if note.. Maybe im rambling but i just don't understand the logic man. They have lost the plot IMO.

Same, and we can all see it. As i said, it's scary the blatant lies that were put out by the club. It needs to be called out.
