We are truly pathetic , what an embarrassingly soft set of players we have, as I type Williams has just chipped it out of play again 30 yards away from any yellow shirt! 

Lucky hes in instead of tgh, otherwise we would be really shite

[IAmNick]

Just to set us up for the 0 - 3 at least Szmodics hasn't scored against us

No one is revelling in it, most are ******* angry at the board

Nah, a few are enjoying it, you can tell.

[Atticus]

Tinnion as much of a problem as the Lansdowns. 

 

Until we clear the lot of the saboteurs out we won't go anywhere.

Got to give manning plenty of time. Being an average mid table side isnt his fault. 

The owners et al have to carry the can for alienating the fanbase who generally accepted this mid table mediocrity (for this season) but now wont as the goalposts have moved.

Absolutely. We had a Premier league manager that was producing silk purses out of sows ears and we replaced him with a manager who was a total rookie in League 1 !!! Wtf were the board thinking ? 

You don't think that they actually think, do you!

[Ecko]

Thanks Lansdown and Tinnion. This is what you wanted and look what you have created. This is the most detached I've felt from the club, thanks to those two buffoons. 

Thanks a bunch lads. You've set this club backwards years. 

[Lew-T]

Last season at Ewood Park I had such high hopes, we absolutely bossed the game under the Nige.

One of the best away performances in years. What the **** have we done?

Bring in Warnock, he'll save us from relegation

[exAtyeoMax]

I'm looking forward to some mulled wine on Saturday down the Gate 

[Ivorguy]

Super sub Mehmeti now on!!

[AshtonGreat]

Just a reminder that Holden won his first five games in charge - look what happened to him

[IAmNick]

Well the subs are what I wanted at half time, except Mehmeti instead of Weimann... just a shame it's 15m too late in my opinion.

Not sure what's worse, the performance or the ****s on here revelling in it.

Yeah see loads of people excited over us playing like we're back under O'Driscoll. Not.

Behave - people are rightly pissed off - namely with club leadership, and worried about the fact this could realistically lead to relegation dogfight. They've dug their own hole. Manning wasnt going to get a grace period after the way NP was treated, rightly or wrongly.

Trouble is we were an average mid table side. Now we’re aspiring to be one.

Our good defence has had the good coached out of them

It's the same defence, it's just the tactics doesn't suit the players any more and where Pearson built tactics to safeguard against our players weaknesses and play to their strengths Manning has come in and said "these are my tactics, learn them". We could have 9 months of practising and preparing and the same thing will happen because we're not getting the best out of our players playing the way Manning wants. If we genuinely want to keep Manning as manager then the board are going to have to open up those purse strings because it's going to be a rebuild, none of this "top 6 squad" rubbish, the only way this squad is top 6 is with a manager who can get them punching above their weight, if only we had one of those....

[Super]

Get in!

[George Rs]

Starting to lose my rag a little bit now, lansdowns have got this decision so wrong for the umpteenth time it’s ludicrous. You’ve had twenty years and it’s not happened, move on so we can move on. 

[HOZDA]

There is hope!

[Slippin cider]

Get in!!!!!!……Sykes

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

And that is the essence of the issue IMO. 
 

Hes a textbook coach. He can tell you in theory what works, but when it stops working he’s bereft. It’s why he couldn’t pull out of a tailspin at MK Dons. It’s why we keep not being able to turn games around. He has to date positively no in game awareness. And when there are two coaches, that’s a pretty bloody glaring weakness.
