    Another goal but not from Weimann but nevertheless we look even more shocking than before. Andy looks in good shape and has lost a few pounds.

    More than I thought Nige was, but maybe he isn’t the man. The question is, who could be?

    Watching the game on Bristol City TV and yet again the fence is disgraceful. I don’t know why Vyner continues to start week in week out, he’s been getting worse and worse since he signed his new contract a year ago. O’Leary’s distribution is a dire and he just led down for the second goal. He’s not a championship keeper.

    Manning stood on the sideline looking completely out of his depth and out of ideas. Just like the team do coming forward.

    Still waiting for all you NP haters to give me a justifiable reason why it was the correct decision to move him on.

    The after-match comments today could be a bit tasty.

    The last 2 games have been very poor, no escaping that blatant fact, but the first 3 games held much promise, the best football since 2018
    I’m not a Nige hater, but also not in the camp that he walked on water, we had plenty of dire performances and bad results with that experienced manager stood on the sidelines..

    Two 1-1 draws against mid table teams and shipping 3 goals to Millwall at home shows promise????? Are my standards just ridiculously high?

    The warning signs were there from the first couple of games
    Conceding goals, lack of concentration and chances wasted
    Manning will be on borrowed time very soon if this continues

    He’s “learning on the job” just like LJ, we won’t be going anywhere and that’s because of JL and BT running the show.

    JL and BT are the reason we are where we are and won’t change unless they go imo.

    I can take that point, and has some relevance, but tell me how we improved under a manager that wasn’t ’learning on the job’, it’s easy to pick out LJ and LM, but the answer is, we didn’t, so what is wrong at our club that we don’t seem to progress, whichever route we go?

    The guy spent zero and stopped us from FFP points deductions and we were a solid mid table team with freebies and kids. Yeah, I think he did a pretty good job. It’s called being realistic. We’d be in league one without him.

    But you thinking Manning having two full windows where he’s done nothing but spend and we have nothing to show for it other shipping 9 goals in 3 games to teams who even finish top 10 in this league, is progress, is fanboy-numpty delulu talk.

    Spent zero, get real!!!! He spent over £4.5m on Knight and McCrorie last summer, £1.4m on Atkinson when we had ZERO money coming into the club during COVID. At the same time he let players contracts run out and alienated players rather than sell them.
    We were also never mid-table, always bottom half.

    You couldn’t be anymore in the valley of wrong. He improved our standings in the league each season, did he not? But I won’t expect you to answer the question, as you haven’t responded once to the points I’ve put to you about Manning, you just keep reverting back to Nige was cr@p. But think Manning is making progress. Laughable. You must be happy with being in league one obscurity clearly.
