Baba Yaga Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Had a fair bit of luck in these last 3 home wins but it's really good to get the results so he can get to work with the pressure on him at reasonable levels. I moaned about the subs in Blackburn game but tonight his subs changed the game. Good interview with Mehmeti on radio Bristol too he is one doing better with the new boss.

Back to basics we go. Ground out 3 points (Pearson style - whey!). Get to 50 points we go again with Manningball. I too think they've dialed it back a bit. But this may be due to the players understanding what he wants them doing a bit better, and him understanding what they can do.It's a good sign. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpty Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Previous regime deserve credit, absolutely. But there’s a fresh feeling about the place, I like Manning’s positivity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC31 Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Fans are extremely fickle even the most staunch pearson supporters won't give pearson a second thought if manning keeps winning games great back to back wins and we have shown a few sides to our game in both wins long may this continue!

A club record iirc. Anyone else remember it? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought tonight was excellent, especially 2nd half. Take the plaudits, Liam they are well deserved.

Simple Red Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 I was and remain a huge fan of NP, but I haven’t heard the Gate like that in Years, admittedly only the second half. He is doing something right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 52 minutes ago, ChippenhamRed said: Ridiculous how quickly some are writing him off. It’s not his fault that Pearson was sacked. It’s a solid start for him now. Give the guy a fair chance. That’s it in a nutshell! The issue is JL and if some are to be believed BT. I don’t know anyone who wants the guy to fail, but plenty who are still annoyed about Mr Pearson’s departure and probably rightly so!

Finley_Smith10 Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Mehmeti could be like a new signing now after this goal. Could tell the change in confidence as soon as that goal went in. Hope he has a proper run now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 That was definitely more like it tonight. There was a visceral willingness to run at the opposition with the ball, rather than play a turgid back pass. Encouraging stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Worth remembering most had no issue with Manning and are just pissed with the board. There are a few who turned on LM fast but that was the minority. Excellent pair of results, rare back to back wins and he’s doing well. I’m happy we went for him. Still want them to sell, still think Nige was sacked wrongly. But very happy tonight ️ 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fresh energy certainly helped. The guys who came on had been told to warm up a little before their sub, I think he just waited 5 minutes to see how their sub changed them with Delap moving up top.
