For me, this is nothing to do with Manning UNTIL he is given the tools. If he doesn’t perform then he has to be accountable at that point. He was given the tools....a top 6 squad, and he's messing it up big time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that’s bollocks (you would have to be spectacularly unaware of what a top 6 squad looks like and I don’t believe you are tbh) and this is my point. Don’t blame the wrong people. The very top have to deliver now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 13 minutes ago, Galley is our king said: Your right it isn't the problem but it WAS. At Cardiff we had Sykes at right back (tanner injured), played Pring at centre back (Vyner and Atkinson injured) and played a 17 year old at left back because Pring had to play out of position. We lost 2-0 and the manager was sacked. Bastards. And played bl**dy well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the former criticism of JL and BT had died down but has all of a sudden reappeared on the back of one poor performance at Deepdale. Sure City weren’t at the races today but that’s not the only time that’s happened - it happened plenty of times under Nige and every other previous manager. Possibly the live West Ham replay effected the player’s subconsciously, not wanting to get injured etc etc….who knows? Lets see what happens Tuesday evening. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 (edited) So the vast majority of the frustration is rightly towards the owners of the club, but it has to be said that Manning isn’t pulling up any trees as a coach either. He may have his principles but the football since he has taken over has mainly been dull and ineffective. That’s as damning you can get for anything that claims to be “entertainment” and results-driven. Edited January 13 by Dr Balls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But until they deliver what they sound bite I won’t give them a free ride. When I see people blaming the manager and the two clowns in charge get a free ride it needs to be pointed out. Couldn’t care less if we stick 5 past West Ham in the first twenty minutes, we are 14th in the Championship and haven’t scored in three. That’s our bread and butter. Beat West Ham, get done by Forest and finish 15th in the league….doesn’t get any better than that. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not about Tuesday evening or any individual game. This has been bubbling with some of us for years. At least since cotts got sacked & for me years before that. The lansdowns are ******* clueless football wise & want a cosy nodding dog mentality. As soon as anyone argues , they’re gone. Only we could get billionaire owners who refuse to accept good sound footballing advise . But no, their egos won’t allow it.

BCFC31 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 37 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: I do. It’s facts. Pearson and Manning are producing similar points per game and it’s no criticism of either of them. The squad is mediocre at the level and the same issues in breaking teams down have been there for years, whoever is fit. Anyone who thinks all we need is yet ANOTHER manager is living in Cloud Cuckoo Land. It would he insane for anyone to suggest we need a new manager it's the squad of players our team is no where near a playoff side 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t one poor performance thought is it. It’s 7 years of absolute shit dished up by the clowns at the top. They will play well Tuesday. They will lose but it will be a honourable defeat - but then they will be shit on Saturday in a game that actually matters 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always been the biggest problem for me. The lack of football knowledge has impacted this massively . If they don’t know the game then how can they implement a playing style throughout the club . Look at Swansea of 10-15 years ago . They had an owner who knew how he wanted to play . They played their style , recruited to it with players & managers . Nothing changed until he sold the club . Can you really believe the two muppets we have said after NP was sacked that now we have a playing philosophy it’s taken over twenty ******* years . Plus it was the philosophy of a manager they’d just sacked . 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our recruitment and therefore playing style for three years has been dictated wholly by budgets and FFFP and don’t tell me this has been the playing style adopted throughout the club!! What was our playing style today or at home to Millwall? Philosophy is not something you can change in five minutes. Nothing but sound bites from the top I’m afraid. All fur coat and no knickers is an old fashioned way of describing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
