MelksRed Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Happy to be proved wrong....but I feel that the step up maybe too much for LM. Championship is entirely different to league one....look at what happened when we first came up with Cotts.....we ate L1 up....then struggled for the first 3 seasons..

Red white and red Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Are people starting to realise Bristol City just aren’t very good? Liam Manning isn’t very good either. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 It is relegation form but we should be fine this season. That is the portion of the table I’ll be checking from here on out though. Cheers Jonny boy!

I just think he’s been put in a position where the hierarchy wants instant results but when he has different principles it’s going to take time. When Lansdown and Tinnion is saying this is a top 6 squad it puts him in a difficult position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR A 3 points Boro H 1 point Norwich H 3 points Huddersfield A 1 point Blackburn A 3 points 11 points. That's a lot of points lost and looking at it like that then we might actually be on the edge of a relegation battle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better Red Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Give him the window. Its so obvious that we need - some power/pace up front. A left footed winger And a mobile midfielder would be icing on the cake That turns this team into a decent team. Worry about the keeper and another centre half in the summer. I think Nige would have done above given the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better Red Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Rotherham, Huddersfield and hopefully Sheff Weds will be shit enough to keep us up. Plus the start we had under Nige. Nige will keep us up and he is not even here 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Manning is probably a good manager and I think we will probably start getting results eventually if we stick with him. But Pearson was an experienced pragmatist who knew how to get the best out of the players we had. Manning has joined with ideas of how he wants to play he may well get us there but right now it is very obvious we have moved away from a manager with the skills and know how to get the best out of the resources he has. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 We have a couple of lines of defence before needing to worry about the drop. 1. Players back from injury. Wells improves the function of our attack, Naismith will boost our creativity, Ross McCrorie is an exciting unknown quantity. 2. January. If it’s looking bad, they Lansdown’s will spend. They know they got us into this mess and they will cover their asses. 3. Sheffield Wednesday are ass. That’s one spot gone. Rotherham not much better, that’s two. I honestly believe this squad of ours, when mostly/fully fit, is mid table at the very least. We have honest, talented players. They’re struggling in a new system and low on confidence, but they are good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Regardless of principles, behaviours and all the other mind-numbingly boring psychobabble, the fact is that Lansdown's boy-wonder has so far delivered a meagre five points from a possible eighteen. Although a few on here claim to see what Manning is trying to achieve, I'm not impressed. His priority is to focus on achieving wins, and he's looking more and more like a loser. I'm still waiting for one of his increasingly quiet adherents to be very specific about what, for them, would make Manning's appointment a demonstrable and incontrovertible success. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderincornwall Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 I was there tonight. For the majority of the game we showed exactly who we are without the grit & attitude that has been carrying us as a team. I don't doubt Manning can improve us tactically in some ways, but it looks to me to be at the expense of the dogged determination we showed under Pearson. Worry for me is that's exactly what we will need if we do end up at the wrong end of the table thanks to nepotism and ego. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s removed some of Nige’s foundations we could be in trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
