Your thoughts Norwich fans- Bristol City fan here how you feeling about Manning-he was a manager that divided the Bristol City fan base. Huge amounts of fans did not like his sideways and backwards football.It was so frustrating to watch. A large majority were very happy when he left us for the Canaries. Struber has changed our play we are now playing a much more attacking game which the majority of us fans prefer. Good luck this season it will be interesting to see which side finishes higher come the end.
4 games in with a massive player turnover it's a bit early to judge personally. Early signs are mixed with 2 home losses & 2 away wins all by 2-1 . Probably flattered by Sargent scoring in all of them one of the leagues best players who scored freely under the last 4 coaches. After about 12 games we will see what's happening
There's a few on here that would get rid of him tomorrow. To be fair I don't think any of them wanted him in the first place. The more reasonable posters are like me happy to give him a chance, even though for many of us he wouldn't have been our first choice. Far too early and too many variables at the moment to judge if his contribution will be a positive one.
I am one of those in the ' probably no ' camp mainly because he seems to have a very negative attitude to the game. I am one of those strange supporters who would rather see my team draw 4-4 than win 1-0 with their only shot of the game. In 2 of the 3 games so far, we have played quite well in the first half and gone in 2-0 up and in the second half have just pulled up the drawbridge. To be fair we have just about - and it was just about - got away with it but I do not agree with that mentality. As others have said it is too early to draw definite opinions but I will not be surprised if we finish nearer last than first and we go back to the managerial roundabout again within 18 months.
Your comments are not surprising i recognise them from our fan boards. Managers have a way they set up and Manning is so set in his ways-does he bring his subs on at 60 minutes? it was the same every game at Bristol City.
Manning has been sold to us as the very opposite of "set in his ways". We're still trying to figure out what exactly the ways are that he isn't set in!
