Sell ?

A bit optimistic there, Mate.

A couple of buttons and a packet of peanuts maybe?

[RedJim]

Well played lads, two good wins this weekend. A lot more like it.

This brings back memories and adds to the sweetness of victory 

Amazing how they won the league last season with Ipswich second, how they've both moved on

Really good performance. Perfect tactics from Liam and Mehmeti the MOM

Manning takes the credit today for the half time changes that saw us control the second half

I made a point to watch everything he did. Misplaced 50% of passes and didn’t win a single header. Not to mention shanking a shot to the corner flag

For context what did he do last time he played? 

[Out of his pie crust]

Boooom 6 point weekend, happy days

[George Rs]

Good game and performances, tripe sub worked very well.

If LM keeps doing things like that my opinion will change fair enough to him.

Well done to all. Has Manning turned it round ? 
 

Not until we can beat a side who have 0% possession, park the bus and brick up the goal, no. So there!

Don't think plymouth troubled us at all. After about 10 minutes when they'd blown out of puff we were just better than them without battering them.

The plymouth commentary were clutching a bit during the first half saying a Plymouth goal was coming.

I don't think Plymouth set up at all like the teams where we have struggled but they still really didn't look very good/we were better than them.

[GrahamC]

Good professional win.

Argyle struggled whenever Whittaker didn’t have the ball & must be looking over their shoulder now.

Clear penalty for the push on Sykes, good job it didn’t matter.

Makes such a difference when you can make a triple sub & bring on the likes of Sykes, Williams & Wells.

Far stronger bench will often produce a better result.

Deserved for the second half, still a bit toothless in the final third. Not really many clear cut chances throughout. 

Can see why they are down where they are, lack of quality and things not going their way and the toxicity is building. No home goals in 5 games. 

We've caught two teams at the right time and deserved both wins, see if we can carry that on at Sunderland.

Leicester are top after beating Norwich 3-1 so they can't be much of a pushover!

[Supersonic Robin]

Good performance (bar first 30 mins) and a good result.

IMO, a more meaningful win than the victory over Leicester. Our form against bottom half sides has been awful under Manning - these are the games in which we need to see big improvements. Much better today in fairness.

Surely it’s a decent observation against a what has been a tide of negativity? Something we should celebrate no? Pound for pound we now have a better manager at the helm 

Same old tired arguments on either side of the debate that just get churned out.

Manning has not achieved enough in the game nor his time here to come up with the pound for pound better comparison of an experienced and arguably successful league manager over the duration of his career.

Personally I don’t think he’s all that, but he has bought himself some time. He’ll be judged on where we are next season.

Hope Twine will be ok and the sub was just precautionary..

[Mr Popodopolous]

That was enjoyable.

Backing up the great win vs Leicester, that's good.

The triple substition and change of shape some credit there.

First half of the first half we looked up against it. We did improve from there.

I hope Twine isn't injured again, he did go off.

If we can get 10-12 points from the remainder of the season that would be getting back to par.

It's better..let's hope we can keep up the improvement in performance level and results.

[Merrick's Marvels]

Well played City.

[Totterdown's Finest]

You'd think they'd get this right! Great result and a really good performance!

Can see why they haven’t scored for 5 home games.  All over us first 30 but no threat at all. Still.  You have to beat what’s in front of you so well done City.   

Yep - my neighbour invited me in to watch the game on RTV and much to my surprise the lag was only about 3 seconds!

Must be my home set up that causes the lag - unless the service has been improved…….…..

[Graham76]

Fair play, Mannings turned things around and football seems more positive now.

Twine has made a big imo even if we haven't seen him at his best. High quality players are good to have around.

[RedRock]

Like that.

Well done my chuffing reds.

And what’s that for 

Well you stated, in response to me, that a normal and minor change - a football team playing away from home in its away or third kit is very normal - made in part to accommodate a real issue that affects many people, was "moving heaven and earth" and was also somehow the same as some other apparently unjust societal changes. You didn't specify those though so I can only imagine what they might be.

Anyway, I didn't want to derail the match day thread whilst the game was on by explaining exactly why your statement was rude and wrong, but I did not want it to go united and I did want to express my disagreement with it.

I therefore chose the route of brevity, and I told you to "**** off".

ps. Great win today, well done to all involved.

Well, it was the spelling I was getting pedantic about!

I think the point was the ability (or rather the lack of) to spell the club's name.

Maybe LM has finally getting his methods across? Two clean sheets over Easter and 6 points are good signs, shame it’s so late in the season.

[Pip King]

Still need to see some evidence that we can work our way through a deep block. Twine being injured really threw a spanner in the works 

[Dolman Block B]

Well done chaps

Much better team than Argyle

Have to give LM a chance for next season 

We ain’t a bad team and who knows 

We could challenge 

 

 

[redkev]

Tbf the game went exactly as I thought it would , I knew they would come out fast , remember there in the shite it’s there local Derby and the fans down there don’t really like us ( even though I didn’t think the atmosphere was n e thing special ) it was always a case of seeing off the whirlwind start and grow into the game which we done ,

we really could do with some more options upfront though ,

I don’t know if it’s the system or his attitude but Conway ( when not on tv ) seems to look rather disinterested 

[Banjo Island]

Manning in

[Hocca]

Vyner Dickie and Knight all superb today. Knight far better in a deeper role bursting through running towards the goal rather than with his back to it. Vyner and Dickie so good with the ball with their passing along with their solid defending as ever.
