Performances have regressed, players have regressed, results have regressed and league position has regressed.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 @Ivorguy you've found a kindred spirit. As far as losing 7-0.... If we were in the same league as the gas AND had absolutely nothing to play for AND it guaranteed that gas were relegated AND all our players celebrated every goal conceded by lifting up their shirt revealing a 'gas are going' down t-shirt whilst hi-fiving the fans then YES. In all other circumstances NO. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 41 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: Have any of our previous heavy defeats brought about seismic change that has delivered long-term success? Interesting one. The only thing that has ever produced any modicum of success is developing our own young squad until they are ready to compete at the top. This is fundamental to why many are so fed up with “The Board” and there decision to fire the guy who was doing it, and providing us the seismic change of Liam Manning! This guy is constantly telling us these players aren’t listening and he needs his own! The seismic change happened when we lost at Cardiff last year. Firing Manning if we get beaten by more than a couple tonight would be just an after shock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I’ve got a funny feeling we’ll play well tonight. Not saying we’ll win, but I think we’ll give Ipswich a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I can’t imagine anyone would want to see us lose 7 - 0, but even if we did I don’t think they would sack him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Definitely not. I never want us to lose. I’d particularly love three points tonight to allay those creeping fears of being pulled into a relegation battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 While Manning is so far showing he is not up to it, the problem lies much higher. If it meant Lansdown and Co call it a day and find a buyer I’d take it. 100%. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotswoldred2 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 What City supporter would want a 7-0 thrashing? Well possibly a few on here I could think of just to cement their position regarding Manning etc. Some of the comments of late are pretty much embarrassing, I get the frustration but to sack everyone including the guy who keeps this club afloat is either naive or just brain dead. This game is a 'free hit' in that no one expects any return, Sunday a different matter. Lose Sunday and I feel there is no more excuses and he should go.

GrahamC Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 1 hour ago, ExiledAjax said: Have any of our previous heavy defeats brought about seismic change that has delivered long-term success? I’d argue the 6-0 Watford embarrassment tipped the scales heavily against the ludicrous Holden appointment & that his successor significantly improved our situation. To answer the exam question though I don’t want us to lose tonight by any margin at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 50 minutes ago, steveybadger said: Context was a bit different though - Tinnion had a year and a bit of mediocre results. Manning has had 5? Months and had some signs of progress at least, albeit others where we’ve gone backwards. That said I do remember saying to my wife that I hoped we’d get humiliated once it was clear we were going to lose that Swansea game, as it might force hands. Sure enough….. This is a total myth which has constantly been churned out. There has been zero signs of any progress in his time here. Infact we have got worse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got to resign simply due to the fact of being SLs friend. Manning won't get that allowance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I would hope are players are better than that losing 7-0 is a massive collapse i just can't see us doing that. It's one of those we turn up or we don't but it's how manning sets up from the start that's the important part. I'm not confident we will come back with anything but this is the championship so who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Did the Few fire ..... Bobby Campbell? Bobby Gould? .... whoever it was after their 0:9? No seismic change at Eastville back then that I recall, think they just tootled along like nothing terribly untoward had taken place. I expect Peter Godsiff cheered them all up by writing something nice, telling them how "special" a club they were .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 (edited) 9 minutes ago, The Original OTIB said: Or an episode of The Repair Shop "And what have you brought in to the shop today" "Well Jay I've brought this. It's a 130 year old football club that my great-great-grandfather found in Bristol." "Oh wow. Oh wow it's beautiful. A bit faded, a bit bashed about a bit isn't it. Looks like it's not been looked after brilliantly maybe?" "Yeh it's had it's fair share of adventures. Quite a few ups and downs. Once went all the way down to the basement straight from the loft, quite the plummet that was. Took a beating but we've managed to get it straightened out a little bit ourselves." "Wonderful. Now, what would you like us to do with it?" "Well it's been in my family for generations you see, and really, really I just want to see it in an FA Cup final one more time, maybe a second place finish in the top division. God maybe even just a Gloucester Cup win." "Yeh, yeh, well leave it with us and we'll see what we can do."
