ProfitInMyPocket Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Enjoy the result and performance. A lot of the things said today were said after Southampton and looks how it went after. He got it right today and fair enough to him, the staff and the team. Now try break down a team who sits in and see how the response is on here. Going to keep going in circles if you get too high and defensive after every win against a big team. From the 25 odd games he's been here, in my opinion he hasn't showed enough. We're good when we are the counter attacking team and a team gives us space to work in, let's see if you say the same after struggling against a team who sit in. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbo7 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Much better today. Now twine is back we will be better against teams in a low block. The team set out how they were today with 2 floating 10’s, Pring going down the outside and Roberts joining in with confidence and quality from defence will help us break these teams down. Judge Liam in these last 7 games when he has the players available that he’s wanted and brought in. Twine was his ace in the pack. Let Liam prove he has what it takes when he has the one player we all know the squad needed and has been unfortunately unavailable. Next season add a real championship quality all round physical striker I think he will do well. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 He does deserve credit today, a lot. Our players seem to enjoy playing against better teams and this is now a run of better performances against them. It’s the Millwall, Cardiff, Stoke at home kind of games he has to find a way. Hopefully he can. Todays result was actually not that out of the ordinary in his time here.

Exactly how I feel. When all is dead and buried he pulls those results out the bag, multiple times. But also fails to capitalise on the momentum afterwards. Would be happy with him and the side going into the summer if he gets at least 10 from the remaining 7, taking us to 60+ beating last years mark. Feel like that’s both achievable and a decent benchmark with the injuries and the general turbulent season we’ve had.

ExiledAjax Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Some context needs to be considered as well. Leicester are having a pretty major crisis right now. They're facing 3 financial cases, their women's coach has just been sacked for inappropriate relationships, the board aren't really engaged with the owners, the players are grumbling at Maresca's workload demands, they've struggled to get results, and their rivals (Leeds in particular) have reeled them in from what was, at one point, an 18 (eighteen) point lead. Each of those issues might in isolation be irrelevant, but as a melange of problems they are all having an impact. Well done to us for capitalising on that today, but as I said a while ago, I actually don't think this was the surprise result that it will be painted as.

LondonBristolian Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It is a good result and one that should put to bed any lingering worries about relegation. However what it doesn’t do is answer the overriding questions which are: 1) can we win consistently? 2) can we play well consistently? 3) can we produce our results and performances against the top teams in the division and Premier league teams in the cup against so-called “weaker” teams? 4) how do we square the desire to play possession football with the fact we get better results with less possession? 5) was this a genuine new dawn or simply another good performance on TV? I’m happy to credit Manning for the win but, if it fair to give him credit when we do well then it is fair to give him criticism when we play badly. Today’s result makes it very likely Manning will be here next season but he now has seven games to try to get the fans to feel confident with him at the helm. For me, he still has a long way to go. 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38MC Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Really enjoyable game of football. We played well and gave a good account of ourselves. I think we were fortunate to get 3 points, there were more than a few moments where I couldn’t believe they never scored, but equally Conway gave their defence a beating. Definitely felt like a game that could have been 2-2, but Vardy left his shooting boots at home whilst Max was outstanding. Really hard fought win, lots of commitment and much more direct play. More of that please. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it was really doing was delaying the inevitable, as the downward trend was set after the first half of 17/18. It was a bumpy downward trend with some upswings, but a downward one nonetheless. And that’s broadly where I am today. I thought it was an excellent performance - we pushed higher up the pitch, played with intensity and there were a few excellent performances (O’Leary, James and then just below that Pring, Roberts, Sykes and Knight). Yes, we had our luck in the Vardy chances but in the same way that a striker deserves credit for a great finish, Max deserves the credit for the saves. But in essence, it changes nothing. We were here against Southampton and it reverted to the trend very quickly thereafter. Today, we can be pleased with a job well done and credit to both coach and players. But for it to change anyone’s opinion in view of the overall sample size to date is really not sensible.

Because the off-field issues across the club are causing rifts and distractions amongst the management, ownership, players, all the personnel at the club. As I said, each individual issue won't derail a club, but add them all up and you end up with it impacting the on-pitch performances. I gave us credit for today.

Bristol Oil Services Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Liam Manning is clearly a coach for a higher standard (see West 'am, Forest, Southampton) than Bristol City and middle of the Championship and the worthy squad of players we have at our disposal, it's just a question of: can Bristol City reach the level Manning is at, and destined to be. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegCity Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Just now, Tim Monaghan said: I’ll say it again. Give him the summer. Let the guy find his feet. I know that’s not what was sold, but nothing we can do about that. I believe he is the right man for the job and I’m certainly excited moving forward. COYRs For me, Manning has to justify us rebuilding the squad to play possession football, vs the cost of sacking and replacing him and signing a few quality players to complete the counter-attacking squad we’ve built since Pearson came in. If we get results with Manning’s main man (Twine) back in the side, and playing Manning football, then he’s earned the right to be backed properly in the summer.

The Coach Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 If we go at Plymouth in the same way we have in recent games. Then we’re back at square one and today’s result means nothing. It is one game. It’s now a big challenge for Manning to prepare the team for Monday and build upon today’s performance and result. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 43 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: Some context needs to be considered as well. Leicester are having a pretty major crisis right now. They're facing 3 financial cases, their women's coach has just been sacked for inappropriate relationships, the board aren't really engaged with the owners, the players are grumbling at Maresca's workload demands, they've struggled to get results, and their rivals (Leeds in particular) have reeled them in from what was, at one point, an 18 (eighteen) point lead. Each of those issues might in isolation be irrelevant, but as a melange of problems they are all having an impact. Well done to us for capitalising on that today, but as I said a while ago, I actually don't think this was the surprise result that it will be painted as. The first 3 points will not have even registered with the players let’s be honest about it,you really think the men’s team care about the women’s team or about the clubs financial situation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does see today and flex a little bit then great, brilliant, I'll feel good. I said a few weeks back… @maxjak you might wanna read the above.

Spent a fortune on that damned Southampton memorabilia. Now I have to buy the bloody Leicester memorabilia. It's a money-making racket. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
