Bristol Rob Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 The most negative first half since Pulis. Delighted to be 2 in front at the break, and all the more delighted with the 3 points, but if this is 'playing football on the front foot' then I have clearly misunderstood the term. 2 Quote Link to comment

Bit of a difference between having concerns and believing we will drop like a stone. The other thing I won’t do, as much as I disagree with the way Pearson was treated, is dismiss Manning simply because he’s not Pearson. Too many clowns on here wanting to hound the new Manager out then completely forgetting in their rage which pair of ***** will be selecting the next one if we do that. Nige ain’t coming back, it’s over whether we like it or not. 9 Quote Link to comment

This might shock a few people but Snakey and the Crayon Whisperer were talking complete and utter shit when they fired Nige out of it. Manning will do what he can with that squad of players until he can bring some in and gung ho front foot football it won’t be, doesn’t matter what the two clowns running it said. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

We're a spectacular example of a textbook Championship team and we've just won a textbook Championship football match. Spot on , and if we keep selling talent as if it arises we will never be anything better. Great result today. Quote Link to comment

Perhaps you would prefer to see us conceding defeat in the last 5 mins , small steps and all that , I do know what you say but I can also see the other side , the more you keep possession and have the ball hopefully reduces the % of time you are likely to concede Quote Link to comment
Major Isewater Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Not many of us predicted a City win today against a flying Boro side so all in all a very good result . Two points off the play offs . It will take time for the new coaching staff to get their ideas across and the players adapting but as of now L.M unbeaten in two. Well done to all, a gutsy performance. As for TGH. , foot like a traction engine. 7 Quote Link to comment

You may question why LM will be given the nest egg and not Nige but we all know the craic with Nige’s dismissal. Once the owner decides you aren’t his cup of tea you are toast. 3 Quote Link to comment

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 That was an interesting game. Penalty! Wow. Gardner-Hickman? Pick that one out! Slow burner to say the least, started so slowly didn't we. Whole game first half hour or so, felt not that eventful. Teams can go under when shipping a 2 goal lead in no time at all after HT, to wrest it back showed initiative. Plus reap character. Pre game I'd have taken a point provided the performance was decent, have to be satisfied, decent start for Manning this. Nice to see Williams back on and latterly off the bench too. 4 Quote Link to comment

It takes time to get your back four right then you move to other areas of the team. Manning has done the same in his short time here albeit Vyner was back to the player of two years ago today. People who want managers to lose their job every six months really don’t have a clue. 7 Quote Link to comment

Never said that I wanted him sacked, I said all along they should have let him.see out his contract and then moved on. Just pointing out over his time at City his defence and games thrown away late in the game was horrendous. Rose tinted glasses me thinks from some people. As JL pointed out a large proportion of the fan base would probably not have had a problem before this season if City had let him go. Quote Link to comment

Open End Numb Legs Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Carrick on the BBC:- "The good thing again is we're capable of scoring goals and we've proved that again today." Er, maybe goal, singular. Re the penalty, always amusing when a defender chops down an attacker, then points at the ball (which he was nowhere near). Quote Link to comment

I judged Pearson favourably on the resources he was given, I don’t give a **** what Snakey and Captain Crayon say and think, and I’ll treat Liam Manning the same…….in other words ignore the complete and utter shit that dribbled out of the upstairs mob when Nige was fired and judge Manning on the players of generally average ability at the level that he’s got. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
