Awful first half. The worst we have played all season. Players look tired and not looking confident. Awful time for that to happen in the season. Chance we might slip out the play offs now. I'll take a point now.
Got a season ticket but couldn't be arsed today. I've never seen a poorer team than City at this level, every team we play look better than us. Manning OUT!
I was just about to say come on Swansea, pop one in to put this useless cnut out of his misery. Looks like Real Madrid ball is here to stay for a few more games..
I remember podcasts going on about how much better you were under Manning than Pearson is this now not the case after the honeymoon period?
We've never really had one mate - he's had a handful of games against better teams who come at us, but apart from that it's been mostly crap. I really fear for Swansea as any team who goes an hour without any shot on goal should be relegation certs. Put it this way I don't think any other team in the league would go an hour without a shot and 28% possession. The thing is Mannings style of "play" and I use the term play loosely is based on possession.
Hopefully we respond to that collapse like Wednesday did after we smashed them a few weeks back, fail to beat Rotherham on Saturday and alarm bells will be ringing. West Brom fans will be happy it’s the case but surprised Carlos doesn’t get linked to lower end prem clubs, a very good coach. Some strike for that 3rd goal!
We've done that a number of times this season . Taking shots and scoring goals isn't our strong suit. I'm not entirely sure what is, but that's definitely not it. Nice to have a weekend where pretty much all of the key results went our way after last weekend when every result went against us. There's still a long way to go and it just takes one bad weekend to drag us right into the shit again. But this week feels like a big step forward both in terms of results and the attitude of the team and togetherness of the club.
Christ mate if it's as bad as us then you really are in the sh1t. We finished on a massive 27% possession at home to Swansea, I'd bet a team from non league would be able to match that. We've got you coming up soon I think and it's not a good ground in recent times for us. Think we'll be safe but not because of us but because of other teams being laughably shite.
We meet on the final day of the season. Would hope that both of us are safe by then and we've got plenty of opportunity to save ourselves before that with six pointers coming up against Huddersfield, Sheffield Wednesday, Swansea and Plymouth. If we're not safe by that final day having played a number of teams around us then we deserve to go down.
Should be but I won't be watching us much if we play like today. Can't think of a worse style of play, passing for passings sake it's so hard to watch. Best thing about today was my dodgy stream packing up after 70 mins. Went out shopping with the Mrs after and I fcuking hate it. Oh well onto the next.
I can't argue too much with that, as I know precisely what it's like to watch a team with no intention of playing any sort of football
More down to the fact Swansea were so crap mate. If you gathered up 11 lads in there 20s/30s from across the country and asked then to play football together for the first time, that's what it would look like. There's crap football in the Warnock style, and there's crap football Manning style. It's a lot more tolerable from the likes of Warnock and McCarthy because they have a clear way they want to play. We just look like we have no clue at all, there's no style it's just Swansea were that bad. There's little to no aggression as well, it's so pedestrian. All the wins done is paper over the cracks. Can't think for a minute Warnock's style of football would be any worse. Even when he was at Rotherham you saw 11 players put in 110%, and knowing what they had to do from the first whistle to the last
