Yes I think the cup game was Massengo’s debut.

I was thinking of putting a bob or two on Mehmeti scoring, not just the new manager thing but I think Nige was beginning to look to him for a bigger role in the coming months.

Get your money on Cam Pring, got a feeling!

[MattWSM]

Does anyone hsve a spare ticket pls?

50-1 1st goal or 22-1 any time with Skybet. Good shout. 

I can't be the only one who's backed Mehmeti, he's joint favourite with Weimann, not the money maker I had in mind

Website article said full allocation of 1,950 so Barton is wrong again. He said it twice now, to Manning and James. Pretty poor. 

Says on website 2600 sold?

3-1 City.

Matty James interview pre match:

City interviewer says to him, “we’re well placed in the table”! I bet he’d of loved to come back with a proper response to that!

Thanks Jerseybean. I’m not going to judge LM’s results tomorrow, given how short a time he’s been in charge, but I’m looking forward to the match tomorrow and will be interesting if there’s anything to detect yet, in the play, which is new or not. 

Come on Boys!

I've a feeling his cameo in the middle might be the way forward for Annis.

[FNQ]

Well Oxford beat QPR 5-0 in a pre season friendly, and we beat Oxford 5-1..

1-0 to us written all over it..

[Bazooka Joe]

We got Dickie, they got Dykes.

Reminds me of the infamous "Dickie" Dykes "Emporium" in Kingswood.

Looking forward to this one.  Sad to see Nigel go but start of a new era tomorrow.  Let’s get behind the boys and bring home the 3 points!

Agree. From the (very) few minutes I've seen him there, he looked good. 

Not sure how we get him there without a tweak, tomorrow will tell.

@Jerseybean

Shame about the other thread as you've done such good work with the MDT.

Got a feeling we may get turned over. Looking at various media coverage it seems Manning is already trying to instil a more  possession based approach. I am concerned the players have had little time to adapt and may get caught up and found out  playing two systems.

[Malago]

The fact that Chair is forced to sit it out is a big plus.

The new QPR boss has a similar philosophy to Manning and wants to dominate possession so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top. City have the advantage of a better squad and QPR struggle to score so hopefully we'll get the points. If we win we'll have won more games at Loftus Road than Rangers this year!

TBF Pearson had started bringing that in , made more difficult not being able to bring 4/5/6 players in ready for the first team and also having to integrate youngsters. 
I see manning's role to continue what Pearson has started, tweak a few things while moving them forward. I don't see it as massive change. There will be differences in how he wants us playing, but it's not like trying to go from 80's Wimbledon to Man City over night. 
If we do get noticeable changes, more likely to see them after the International break when he has some real time with the squad. 

[ENOUGH]

Expect large police presence due to large march in London today, at stations etc and searches, "football hooligans from all over set to protect national monuments" there maybe trouble ahead.

[Garland-sweden]

Interesting as usual when its gameday. New manager, same players. Defence is key as always, think Mehmeti will start. Think and hope we got an unpolihsed diamant there, hope he scores offcause. Despite the idioetic sack of Nigel: COYR 2-0 City

Always remember Dickie sat there surrounded by piles of 2nd hand tv's. Still the same character now, but extremely wealthy having just sold off all the Maravion Rd site for housing 

[wendyredredrobin]

Wondering whether we will see anything different today under Liam Manning bearing in mind that he has only spent two or three days with the players.  He may have had time to introduce a few new ideas like kick the ball towards their goal rather than your own and pass the ball to one of your own players rather than theirs, though that may be a bit much to ask in just a few days.

Brian Clough used to say that "Football is a simple game" and he didn't do too badly with Derby and Forest, did he (Leeds fans views may differ, of course). Just imagine Cloughie managing us to the top of the Prem and a Champions League victory bearing in mind that we are no different to what he took on at his two success stories.

 

[Selred]

Got a good feeling about today. A new era begins. 

Looking forward to it, up the Liam Manning tippy tappy reds!

Maybe would should have given his son a try- he couldn't have been any worse than numerous previous incumbents!

 

[David Brent]

I just hope that those who were so desperate to see Mr Pearson go can simply enjoy the positive result if we get one.

Here’s to 3 points and a good start for our new head coach. Good luck Liam.

 

[CityFarAndWide]

Heads up the weather spoons isn't taking away fans and the bellushi isn't open currently as not enough security at the door. Leaving just the sindercombe for all those pub goes. 

[Midred]

Any chance the two match day threads could be merged?

Yeah, I often thought that might have been a good call.  That said, Nigel is a complely different kettle of fish to his Dad though.

[Banjo Red]

Don't know how true this is???
