How are Sunderland doing as of late?

Are you Michael Beale?

Sacking Beale was arguably a correction of Error A.

See also Rowett to Harris (ironically Harris was replaced by Rowett in 2019) via Edwards and Eustace to Mowbray via Rooney.

Who knows maybe the board will give us a merry-go-round of coaches every 22 games if some posters get their way?

Why a hire em fire em is bad pity some fans want to get rid of Manning so fast.

Maybe the replacements were not very good so they admitted that and sacked the manager? Grass isn't always greener.

Why not go and analyse their results, their regression and subsequent improvement and bounce.

I think Mowbray has now missed 3-4 games ie the last 3-4 owing to ill health..which needs factoring in.

What do you see that gives you hope that Manning will improve us  medium to long term?

In which case what was the point of making the change.

Why seek to fix a team that isn't broken?

Well yeah. What was the point in getting rid of Pearson?

Well as mentioned before I backed Pearson and I back Manning but not just for 22 games.

My loyalties and affections remain t'ward Bristol City, although yesterday most of my affection was showered on mummy, like half of us "mummy's boys" Bristol City fans (and unlike those motherless Scallies and Mancs, I note; plus all them Taffies at the egg chasing: no empty seats there)

The guy who sits next to me and the guy behind me weren’t there yesterday.

I’d texted my mate 10mins before kick off that the attendance looked smaller than usual, making a guesstimate of 20k.

As others have said - the actual attendance was nowhere near the one announced.

It would be a good idea if ALL clubs stated the true attendance as well as the number of tickets sold for each match, I’m sure they know those figures, as well as knowing the STs that are never or rarely used.

Just to satisfy my curiosity.

To be fair,the football has been(with the odd exception )crap for about 4-5 seasons.

It has, can't argue, some justifiably and some not so justifiably. I would argue part of Manning's remit is to end that overly long cycle of poor quality football. You will always have poor games but it shouldn't be 4 poor games out of five. Forget Liam Manning, this is something that Bristol Sport have neglected and will pay the price for if they continue to neglect.

This SC and official attendance differences has come up before and many speculated that it’s probably something to do with tax - the larger the attendance the more club have to pay………..

I have no idea why there is an obvious visual discrepancy in pretty much every game at AG but there obviously a reason.

Before we worry about filling the ground, can we at least make an effort to fill the bench?

If he has lost the fans than thats pretty pathetic. Christ we have an embarrassing support. The bloke has been here 3 minutes. Yes, he didn't arrive in ideal circumstances but he hasn't been given 20 games? We are Bristol City, not Barcelona. 

Maybe you should tell that to the owner.

Disagree. Don't think the fan culture has been quite this bad since we've been back at this level, part of that is leadership, part of that is Manning.

We'll see with the ST renewals imo.

That's very kind.

Lansdown was about 40% if that, South Stand barely half full.

I'd say around 15k if that.

How did Twine play today ? 

With a twinge

[bcfcredandwhite]

I can’t speak for anyone else - and we are all entitled to an opinion - but LM hasn’t lost me - yet. 
I can see signs of what he is trying to achieve - vs Watford, Southampton, West Ham, Forest and even Ipswich (though we lost). 
If we drop into the relegation zone then sure - gamble on another manager, but for now I’d stick with him.

I didn’t want Nige sacked - I was astonished when it was announced - but a Nigel Pearson team was very defensive and tried (often unsuccessfully)  to sit back in a 1 goal lead. 
One thing I find refreshing is that we still attack when a goal up. Ok, sometimes it doesn’t work, but I like the idea. 
I’m probably in the minority judging by some of the comments on here, but that’s how I feel. 
Also, you do know who would be in charge of appointing any successor, don’t you!!!

Whereas LM likes to sit on a 0-0.

That's pretty debatable.

I dunno if I recognise that description, we set out to be a pacy, counter attacking side and when it worked, when we had good availability thought it was enjoyable.
