Galley is our king Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 The ONLY things that can be used to judge Manning on are the targets set by his bosses when appointed namely... Top end finish, Front foot attacking football, Improvement THIS season (or why would we sack the previous manager?). So, on that basis it's been a complete FAILURE! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do fear, for the first time in years where we have had had empty threats, that people will follow through with their threats not to renew on this occasion. I think a fair few will. Every season we have heard the same bullshit from the club - but this time feels very different At least when Richard Gould or someone like that spoke, it came with credibility. Now you got a technical director who is clearly so far out out of his depth it’s embarrassing The coming off of Twitter and then going back on. Comments like “see you in the Prem” - completely amateur. No way he can lead this club forward Whats done it for me is the Lee Johnson template didn’t work. In fact, it absolutely crashed and they just had to bite the bullet the last 2.5 years or so trying to fix it Just when there is light at the end of the tunnel - and the club is in a prime position to attract a decent, Championship coach / manager - what do they do? They go and do exactly the same thing . ***** I believe the saying goes “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” The arrogance from Tinnion especially, talking about “everyone was happy after the Southampton game” - just shows how out of touch and shut off these plebs really are Edited March 11 by Andy082005 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Ideally I’d like to finish in the top 10 this season which I would see as progress (last season 14th). That is still achievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 After yesterday’s crucial result and with the pressure off, Win 5 of the last 9 games of the season. A good preseason which is a launch pad to a good start which sees us in and around the top 6 at the end of October. I thought sacking Pearson was the most boneheaded stupid decision the club has made in my lifetime. That said, although Manning doesn’t inspire confidence, I hope for his sake, and ours, he can turn things around and produce a more appetising brand of football. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my models, non-penalty xg has gone from 0.1003 (10% per chance) to 0.0776 (7.8% per chance). What about our opponents' Xgs? How have they changed or otherwise? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a different opinion, but my rationale is MY RATIONALE. I think he’ll continue to take us backwards and cost us a furtive in the process. Time does not always guarantee success, it can be exactly the opposite. How old are you btw? 12 minutes ago, firstdivision said: What about our opponents' Xgs? How have they changed or otherwise?

But, just to be clear, my stance isn’t based on numbers, they just support my stance. I’m really frustrated watching us play in a manner set up my the head-coach. I think it’s stifling the players (in the main) rather than the players not being able to play it per se. Others disagree. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning isn't getting sacked, we all know that whatever our views on it. It really is in HIS HANDS to turn this round a bit and give people who are currently worried about next season some optimism. To a large degree he has control of that. What he does from now to the season end can either change opinion or reinforce it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoting his OP post" Two wins MINIMUM out of Huddersfield, Blackburn and Rotherham A MINIMUM of five of our remaining nine games where people come away generally having enjoyed the football on offer. Not sure where you've pulled wins against WBA and Leicester unless you mean the tongue in cheek off-comments made as we do worse against teams under or around us under Manning in general and misconstrued them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not trying to be rude but do I really need to explain this? They are saying that we need a minimum of 6 points against those 3 games or he deserves the sack - I’m saying what happens if he wins against Lei/WBR and then picks 5 points up? That he should be sacked? I mean I’m pretty suprised I have to explain this but it evidences why his post is so flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
