Royce5nine Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 He sounds sad. Steve Lansdown please put him out of his misery and go with him! He's more suited to a Sunday League team in Guernsey. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 ‘Emotions’ had no impact on Wes taking Pring to the cleaners. Difficult when he is clearly carrying a knock, and would have brought on Roberts I think, bank of 4 in front of a bank of 5, deny them space and just grind it out. Instead last 20 we were overrun, even though we went ahead in that period. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL is hardly likely to or be able to sack himself but 2/3 should be feasible. Tinnion back to Academy type role, Manning and Jon Lansdown out. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I do feel a bit sorry for him. The players can't adapt fully to how he wants to play. I'm sure the club isn't going to rebuild the squad in the summer for him. Perhaps he'll be better off elsewhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 No harm in giving him a proper go next season after a pre-season/some of his own signings. Until the Lansdown’s go the prem is a pipe dream anyway. If relegation starts to look very on, then we’ll have to change sooner, but shouldn’t come to that. 1 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t sack a manager the way they did and then not back his replacement. This really is last chance saloon for the Lansdowns here, no doubt about it. I think Manning will come good, but the pressure on this summers transfer window is insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3 Ark at Ee Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 (edited) Manning could leave tonight but I’ve absolutely no faith in the clowns above him getting a decent replacement in….plus that would mean they’d have to admit they were wrong yet again!!

S_C Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Crazy how a mood sets in, just becomes a tide which people get swept up in. Thought everything he said was spot on. I’d have liked him to offer more praise for the performance but he certainly didn’t hang anyone out to dry. He’s right, emotion/concentration/decisiveness, however you want to phrase it, cost us. All three goals were hugely avoidable. Blame him when he’s at fault, for sure. He isn’t at fault for tonight. 7 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Is the Swansea game the turning point then? A positive performance and a healthy win and we don't look back? Or another loss at a whimper and an atmosphere more toxic than we've seen in years? It feels to me its going to come down to that. The following games are harder for sure and whilst there isn't really such a thing as a must win game, this feels like one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He over complicates things, he’s not capable to succeed at this level, with this club. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be 3 or 4 years of harm if the money is spent unwisely. Based on what I've seen, I couldn't trust him with my cheque book. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put Sykes and Conway on and they’ve got us our second goal (albeit Sykes did not do enough for their third). Not sure I would have rushed to bring on anyone else from the subs bench though.

Lack of Action Man Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 1 minute ago, exAtyeoMax said: Ed and Gary were discussing this on Radio Bristol. JL created the pressure on Manning from the get go. Ed Hadwin has a really strange love-in for Manning. Gary Owers was 100% right to challenge him on it. Hadwin keeps pushing his own personal agenda every time he hosts and is very quick to shut down fans who he doesn’t agree with. Bring back Geoff, so much better than Hadwin, Hoskins or Ray. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
