I want change, but can never agree with this mindset. I'm a Bristol city fan first and foremost, I want us to win every game 5 Quote Link to comment

I said I'm fine, it's the club that's sick. I'm with you. At home today and all I need to do is switch the telly on but I've decided I'd rather do some decorating. Not sure I'll bother with another game this season, completely disillusioned like you say. 2 Quote Link to comment

RedJim Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Just now, Super said: Pathetic. Why is that pathetic? I think his point is take a hammering to speed up the removal of this hopeless manager and perhaps send a message to this board and technical director that they don't have a clue. I'm inclined to agree that's better for us in the long run than another few months of drift and a relegation dogfight next season. 5 Quote Link to comment
PortInTheMorning Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I think I'm somewhat in the middle here. I want us to play well and win today, but if we go two goals down, then I want us to get battered. Quote Link to comment
winsaw Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I would love to see us win today but if it goes badly as usual and we are 2 down by half time then would like to see us get battered in the second half, I have never thought like this before but I am so worried for next season if Maning is still in charge so if a heavy loss helps get him gone this season then it's for the greater good, 12 Quote Link to comment

DaveInSA Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 16 minutes ago, Super said: Pathetic. Why? In my opinion (which I spelled out), this is a slow motion train crash waiting to happen. So let’s rather fast forward the process. Fire Manning. Redeploy Tinnion. Bring in proper people to run the football side of the club and appoint a manger who can progress us upward rather than downward. If you’re happy to see us relegated next year then good for you. Because that is our current trajectory. And a summer won’t change that, because we can’t afford to buy a new squad of players to play the perfect football match. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment
W-S-M Seagull Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 An hour and a half until kick off and I'm waiting for my hair to be cut, that's how excited I am for this. 1 Quote Link to comment
West Hill Red Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 The fans must be kept happy, we are the most important entity of any football club. Quote Link to comment
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Hello All! Obviously I want us to win today, but if we get hammered then I agree with most on here that Manning should go. Especially as it's being shown all over. I really don't think it will happen though and the board will just carry on backing him, because they don't want to lose face, shocking really, slowing watching our beloved club slip back to L1.

formerly known as ivan Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I kept saying I wouldn’t go today but never believed it even myself. But here I am, no intention of making the effort today. I’m not happy about it. Should look forward to match days. The sad reality is we could beat the league leaders 3, 4 or 5 nil today and I just couldn’t care less. In fact, I would probably be more annoyed by a win than anything else, much like the Swansea game. Yes I’m a bad fan, but please don’t blame me for feeling this way… 1 1 Quote Link to comment
The Fat Controller Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I want us to win convincingly and for it to be the beginning of a very long and very successful run. 1 Quote Link to comment

Win today and he's won four of his last nine, which is actually not such a disastrous record - and on a par with Pearson's last batch of games 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Swede Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 For what its worth, I'd go with; Max Tanner, Vyner, Dickie & Pring Williams, James Sykes, Knight & Twine Wells Quote Link to comment
ExiledAjax Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Really couldn't care less what the result is today. I'd prefer a win, but that's it. It's all about performance, seeing progress, improvements in game management, some indication of some sort of cohesion, and some decent underlying numbers. If it's just another game in the same mould as the last lot, then **** it. 2 Quote Link to comment

marmite Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I'm more interested in the attendance today. I know it's a sell out but the ACTUAL attendance figure will be interesting. I know at least 4 of our 5 seats will be vacant although officially we will be counted. 2 Quote Link to comment
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 If anyone is looking for a stream, its showing on https://sports-10.com/bristol-city-v-leicester-city/ atm, check 30 minutes before KO, altough it doesn't usually start until a few minutes before KO. 1 Quote Link to comment

Aaron-Bcfc Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 The club’s professionalism shines through again. For anyone not clued up with internet ‘slang’ that means ‘**** my life’. Pathetic. 2 Quote Link to comment

sh1t_ref_again Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 2 hours ago, W-S-M Seagull said: I think Nige being on the later games but not on a game involving two of his former clubs is not a coincidence. Pearson was a master at using the media to his/our advantage and I think he's sending a message here which I think is that the club have blocked him from appearing. He was due to cover another of our games earlier on in the season but was replaced by Euell at the last minute. Or in the real world Nige got a very good pay off and part of that agreement would be he is not able to. 1 Quote Link to comment
Davefevs Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Think he’ll play Knight and Twine as two 10s….3421. I failed a late fitness test, arthritis flare-up, in effing agony, can’t drive. So sky for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
