38MC Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 (edited) 1 minute ago, BCFCGav said: And what did they do to Pearson as soon as it started to bear fruit… Whoever the manager is, they will ensure we fail. That’s exactly my point! That I can agree with. What I can’t is that giving Manning time and money can do no harm. It will leave us with a really disjointed squad for one as he tries to integrate new signings used to his system with the existing players who aren’t capable of it. We’ll have the worst mish-mash.

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. There is no money in the summer. Only money for transfers will be money we generate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them splashing the cash I can’t see it either, but I feel that they have to. We aren’t under any FFP pressure and the fans (including me) are starting to get very restless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard it was gonna be toxic when Pearson was unfairly sacked and majority of fans weren’t happy…..not a whimper from the Ashton Gate crowd….you wouldn’t even had known Pearson had been sacked I think there will be quite a few missing on Sunday.

Silvio Dante Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 5 minutes ago, Harry said: They scored 10 seconds after the 4 subs. We’d brought Sykes on and he switched off. Not sure how LM could have reacted to the 4 subs when they literally scored immediately after Oh I totally agree in the immediate aftermath- but there was a long time to go where he could have done more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Wonder if Pearson is still living in the area. Lansdowns would get a lot of respect if they held their hands up and admitted this isn’t working, they won’t though! Wonder if NP would enjoy telling them to do one or if he’d be tempted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 12 minutes ago, BCFCGav said: 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. No , he’s not up to it . Neither are the board. Why let him get some players in only to sack him & someone else got players they don’t want. all our experience is leaving. We’ll be left with a young squad , a young out of his depth manager & an incompetent board & technical director . We will get relegated if he stays next season 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 1 minute ago, Northern Red said: What's he said there that's incorrect? There's enough to legitimately criticise him for without inventing things to get annoyed about. Doesn't matter that the plan worked for X amount of the game. Ultimately the plan stopped working. It had nothing to do with the players switching off from the plan like he suggests. It's a simple fact that we needed another plan to counter their change in plan yet we didn't have one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell is it the last chance for the Lansdowns. Steve owns the club and will go when it suits him. And he is hardly going to sack his son.

Chrizzler Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Just now, Curr Avon said: But tonight he did. We played quick balls into the channels and scored goals. What would you have done differently with our attacking strategy? None of our strikers can play up front on their own. Not once has he played Wells & Conway together in a two man forward line. If he'd studied footage he would know that it's worked previously & the players are happy with it. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Conway doesn’t block or press the same way Wells and Knight do.

We are well clear of FFP by @Mr Popodopolous figures. If they don’t spend, and we go into the first 10 games of next season looking shite, then the Lansdowns are going to be in big trouble.

I just think Manning is one of those "got it wrong again dad" appointments. Can see entirely where you and @38MC are coming from. Think I might just be getting a bit indifferent to it all.

cityexile Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I don’t think LM did that much wrong today. First half we neutered them and that was spot on. The difference was the bench today pretty much, and some lack of concentration at key times. Maybe could have tried to tighten up with ten to go, but we are far from the first team Ipswich have done this to this year. The core issue is not this type of match, where he can evolve a bit from Pearson ball and we look ‘ok’. It’s working out what the heck we do when we play the bottom ten, where we are shocking at the moment. Get done by Swansea then it’s going to get more sweaty than it had any right to.

Shauntaylor85 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 25 minutes ago, exAtyeoMax said: 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 Hoping he walks, he shouldn’t have been given this job. Totally wrong fit. Sadly Brian and Jon are stubborn and will back him this summer, rinse and repeat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
