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. they didn't exactly back him in January. I can't see them having a clear out unless we go down. It'll cost the club a fortune. They should just face up to their mistake like they did with Deano. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 1 minute ago, Unan said: Surely he didn’t say this? I thought the same, then realised that after some of the stuff he's said recently, he quite likely did say that. For what it's worth, I still don't know if he said it, I'm just getting a sense of Johnson-vu again with all these soundbites and "not my fault" comments. What he needs to remember is that he inherited a side that was capable of the top 6. BT and JL said so when Pearson was sacked... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 8 minutes ago, BCFC31 said: It's the lansdowns and tinion that need to go surely now even the happiest if clapping fans can see this how anyone can blame any of this on manning is mind numbing! Then what ? Bring somone else in only for them to fail under the current regime. Right okay Look, I'm sorry Liam, but this tactic won't work(much like many of your other ones!). Yes, a large part of the blame lies further up the chain, but this doesn't change the fact the team are repeatedly given tactics that simply don't work and don't entertain. Being angry with the board doesn't absolve Captain Mainwaring from blame as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. it did get quite heated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 10 minutes ago, Silvio Dante said: Just watching on Sky. He’s saying that the 4 subs by them made a huge impact - but it’s him that can impact that, surely???? 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 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 (edited) Is it Hadwin being wildly pro Manning or being loathe to criticize the Lansdowns, therefore rallying to Manning. Edited March 5 by Mr Popodopolous 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrizzler Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 10 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 He needs to play to the strengths of the players he's got. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I’m in the minority here, and it’s hard to push back against most people opinions that don’t think he’s up to it, but I really do feel he just needs to be able to build “his” team.

wayne allisons tongues Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Before the game he said on Sky only 7 subs due to injuries, Saturday was because of youth cup coming up. Which is it and if it is because of injuries didn’t we sack the last medical team due to injuries allegedly. Why in January didn’t we bring in some players instead of loaning them back if the squad is so thin. NP said we were short of players but no one higher up seems to listen and think they know better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I’m with you, but Cardiff and Swansea back to back is pure paraffin if the performance is crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
