Watching Notts County annihilate Bradford City with an enterprising first half display perhaps we went for the wrong lower league manager.

Bradford look awful, but despite that been very impressed with Countys style of play.

Problem with this argument is we won’t be playing Bradford City.

None of us have a clue how Manning will get on, but one game in I’m not sure saying some other bloke has a team that is beating Bradford City tells us anything.

My biggest worry with Manning is he has never had a nest egg to spend and he is going to become a prettier taller LJ!

Based on he has never had a nest egg to spend and it’s a worry also That he might become a better looking less vertically challenged LJ! 
 

You really shouldn’t post after you have consumed a couple of wine gums on a Saturday.  Good advice not followed by so many!

Exactly. 
It’s all well and good saying Notts played well today, but did you see how much room Bradford were allowing them to play. There was zero press. I’d be confident of bottom of the league FGR being able to play though that Bradford non-press.

How can you possibly say perhaps we went for the wrong manager after one game?

What? I'm not sure I find either pretty.  Now that Theo Walcot if he went into management we could call him pretty assuming he doesn't age terribly.

My wife actually quite liked LJ, but she thinks Manning is very nice. :facepalm:.

Being considered hot by a menopausal woman in her late 50's may not get him on to the cover of a magazine though. 🤣

Hang on, one of the big concerns over Manning was that he hadn't managed above League 1.

Williams has been relegated from League 1 and not managed as many games in League 1 as Manning.

So why is a League 2 manager who was performing worse at a lower level (for both managers this season) more desirable?

Because his team looked good on TV once, against a poor Bradford side

Some posters on here can judge a player on one game, make that half a game

so they can do the same with managers 

PEP watch out

Because he's not the person that we, or more importantly SL, appointed.

It's no different with player signings. We sign player x and then we get a load of posts saying how bad player x and that we should have signed player y, who is performing better for someone else. That is, of course, until we eventually sign player y, who then morphs into player x once he's here!

Manning's had one game in charge , and that after what, only 2 days with the players? I am convinced that some on here secretly want us to crash and burn under Manning, if only to prove and justify their argument about SL and NP's sacking, although they would of course deny such an accusation, as "no City fan ever wants the team to lose". 

I've said before, that had Manning been appointed by Millwall or another championship rival ( I've read independent comments that Manning was being closely followed by a number of decent championship clubs), all those knocking him would probably be posting that he's just the sort of young, forward thinking manager that we should be appointing, but because he's SL's appointment, and SL is the man who sacked NP then.................

Speaking as one of the "SL was wrong to sack NP" posters, can I just say that of all the candidates we could have thereafter appointed, Manning was my number 1 pick. 

No back-tracking for me, it will be here, quotable, probably by MRR, whenever anyone chooses to in the future :D

The problem with pigeon-holing people is there are vastly different opinions within each group you (general you, not you you downendcity) create. It's why I pay no heed to people accusing us of being a fickle bunch, we often are not, it's just different people being vocal at different times depending on circumstances.

You might just as well have watched Notts County v Mansfield on October 14th............when you could have watched the home match where  Mansfield annihilated Notts County 4-1?   One swallow doesn't make a summer or a BJ?   One game in isolation tells you nothing, and is a pointless exercise IMHO?  The comment that Bradford City looked awful.....surely tells you everything?
