Popular Post harvey54 Posted March 10 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 10 (edited) I haven't seen a manager getting pelters like this after so short a time since S'Od and his brief tenure here. Surely the owner/chairman can't let this go on much longer? People are starting to stay away and that must say more than anything. Even if we scraped a win today I don't think Manning will win anyone over. Dead man walking Edited March 10 by harvey54 24 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreThePigs Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 He has made changes today that have worked - I am far from convinced but a win is a win and stops the downward momentum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is he is completely dependent on player performance in those changes. He's luckily Sykes and Roberts have come on and been better than the players replaced. And i only say this because I don't remember a tactical in game change he's made bar QPR where we ending up with 6 forwards on and nobody creating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead man walking SOD really only got stick in League One after our relegation, which most thought was fairly inevitable with the situation he inherited, so later on in his time. Large numbers can see Manning is making us worse & the football is turgid to have to endure. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Capman Posted March 10 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 10 To be honest it’s the board who have lost me. If they sack Manning we will get another knee jerk appointment with no thought and vision. There is a lack of sensible ambition at the club and until that changes I struggle to care much one way or the other. I continue to think that with our current structure the next time we leave the championship is much more likely to be down than up. I have lost all faith in the decision making capabilities at the club to make the right decisions for the future. Decisions are made based on the need to massage the egos of a few, not in the interests of the thousands who spend their hard earned cash on match day. 27 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told we were going to get front foot, aggressive football. We haven't seen it. We have also seen a less than full bench on occasions. Why not invite promising prospects for the U18s who did so well against Swindon to experience a 1st team preparation? Any results are papering over some massive gaps. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFree Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Completely agree, the football today was once again awful, and I am sorry Liam, it’s down to you, he keeps on about “always improving” but put simply, we aren’t, a boring nil nil draw would have been a fair result today.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I’m pretty sure the attendance today was in no small part down to it being Sunday, early kick-off and Mother’s Day. Form doesn’t help but I bet we see a significantly busier Gate in our next homer. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westred1 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Had two indirect pops at fans on Radio Bristol and the City interview… definitely losing a lot of the fan base. Attendance (albeit Mother’s Day) speaks for itself. Win has well and truly papered over the cracks. Adamant Lansdown was at the game because he would have sent Manning packing if we’d lost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySanchez Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Who’s next in charge then? Big summer ahead - a big clear out - some players already signed. Think Conway will go north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Lansdown was definitely there because I saw him at the beginning of the second half going to his seat. Cracks definitely papered over with a win because the performance was mostly awful. And the atmosphere is getting more toxic because the fans watching know that it’s very poor and far worse than it was under Pearson. At least the players looked motivated then!

Referenced the negativity as if he couldn’t understand it and “despite all the… all the… all people’s energy” they didn’t have a shot in the first half… stopped himself being direct. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
