So.. we have an owner who has lost interest.. his son as chairman who has no interest at all in football… a technical director whom failed miserably as manager whilst we were in a lower division and a head coach whom has never played the game professionally? What could possibly go wrong?

Agree with you up until your last point. Doesn’t matter where a coach played his football. It matters how good a coach he is. Sadly Manning doesn’t have a clue 

[Ecko]

Mehmeti is an absolute joke of a footballer. 

[The Original OTIB]

Now on the front foot, apparently, so Robins TV telll me.

If you think Manning is close to getting the sack then you are going to be disappointed!

I can’t see how he can get the fans back on side, the sea of red seats you see today are unsustainable in the medium term.

I don’t think he’s close to the sack but this should start to sow the seeds of doubt in the minds of SL etc.

Is James injured, or frozen out?

Frozen out was the rumour, if he played another game we had to give him an extension

Thata the rumour anyway don't think it's true though

Why is there no chants of;

Brian Tinnion get out of our club or We want Manning out.

It needs to be as hostile as possible in the 2nd half, screw getting behind the team, the fans there have to make it abundantly clear.

Everyone should have go to the concourse and refused to come back in to the ground until about the 50th minute. A completely empty stadium would send a massive message out!!!

A few boos does nothing, the fans have to go for the Jugular and make it 100% toxic. Those behind the dugouts should be chanting solid for 45 minutes, we want Manning out!!!

They have to go, enough is enough. 

We don't do things like that anymore. 

Have you not noticed how bad the atmosphere is? Nowadays, Bristol City are followed by supporters not fans. Big difference. 

When was the last time you heard the ref get dogs abuse? People go to be entertained. The best you'll get are boo's

[mozo]

Conway nearly had a chance! But he didn't...

At least Huddersfield lost.

Andi Weimann got a good move

[MelksRed]

Wrong option

.....could have crossed (2 x squared) ..instead the side netting.

What we've all been waiting for, as promised. Has it been worth the wait?

Who's doing the commentary, Putin ?

[old_eastender]

useless shot from Mcrorie inside the box and sliced into the side neeting, when TC free in the box.

[robinforlife2]

OMFG

Ross wtf !!!! square it for a bloody open goal!! We're not even trying to win.

Wait, he said that?

Yes, in this game's pre-match presser. I felt that was a sackable offence in itself, that's literally his job

[The Original OTIB]

F me, square it you dumb ****

[Roe]

Oooh an actual chance

[luke_bristol]

Why has he chosen to shoot there ffs. 

[robin_unreliant]

McCrorie - useless.

[mozo]

Aghhh Ross!

[MelksRed]

Another chance goes by

Change the word “supporters” for “spectators”, and I would agree

[2015]

Least we've hit the net

We can’t string 2 passes together and there is zero movement off the ball.

Sykes had the ball , two swans players  closed him down . Mcrorie just had to move infield 5 yards to receive the ball & just stood there .

You do get the feeling that this might be a definitive performance (even if we manage to fluke a 1-0 win), perhaps the beginning of the end.

Very much so -

Anything we get from this is so clearly papering over the cracks, and doing a very poor job of it.

that was such a baffling decision, I wonder if they're genuinely not trying to win at this point. Conway was unmarked, 2 yards out, and didn't seem to mind that much that Ross didn't pass to him

[WeAreThePigs]

Swansea there for the taking at the back.

[RollsRoyce]

Sykes has been good 

[David Brent]

If this is how we intend to play next season then I’ll pass. Don’t give him time to produce more of this.

I think it’s best we cut our losses and move on. The experiment has failed.

Manning could be Manager next season having been given money to spend in the summer.
