Season 23/24 | The Official Match Thread | Bristol City vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

Not creative enough - they’ve marked Ronald out of the game and we’re still trying to give him the ball with four men on him! Got to have some variation ffs

Sides have quickly figured out that he is our main threat.
He looked tired on Wednesday and same again today, everything that he usually does that screams class has been missing. LW has completely dropped the ball with rotating his squad with this three game week considering how much energy demand this style wants from our wingers.

Jay on to protect our position.

They were sitting back defending their draw, that's what makes it so frustrating

That's the concern.

They know we are powder puff going forward and have a mistake in us defensively..........set piece defensively is a major concern now.

Manning showing his pedigree as one of the very best, most sought after young managers

The man we shoulda signed instead of duffer.

Bristol City are no major shakes and their form shows it........we are just worse and that's saying something.

We need to get to the safety line first before we think on the summer window.

You’re right (again!)

We’re a good bet for a top half finish, mind

 

[Baron Goblet]

That was an important goal
Lucky fakkers.

Every time a player makes a forward run we don't try to hit them. No wonder players stop running and we are instead slow and static passing to feet. It all started with the first half where Placheta must have tried to make about 9 or 10 runs and was ignored by Tymon and Grimes every single time.

They’ve done their homework on Ronald and Platcheta - we have no other answers so game over.

 

[magicdaps10]

Realistic hat on here all, hopefully we get a goal but I'm not counting my chickens.

We went into today's game(game 37) with a 5 point cushion on the last relegation spot, it stays this way and we go into game 38 still 5 points off the last relegation place.
One game off with no gain on us.

Just trying to be positive.

No creativity or goal threat from our central midfield.
We need some drive in midfield with creativity and a goal threat.

Manning is top notch, in so many ways.
One that got away

 

[Ringwood]

Eddie and Jay on to save the day

 

[bakajack]

They’ve done their homework on Ronald and Platcheta - we have no other answers so game over.

Our biggest problem is that LW hasn't done his. We have a squad for a reason and LW hasn't rotated at all and so our biggest threats look shagged, why bother signing Sagoe Jr on loan and have Key back from injury on the bench if we don't use the former at all and play a centre half at full back instead of the latter?

 

[newquay]

Is that the same Manning who was sacked by MK Dons 16 months into his contract?? - who only accumulated 15 points from 20 matches in his 2nd season!!

Poor post.

And, Whooosh.

There’s some proper tired ol’ laggards nowadays fiercely bashing their keyboards into the witching hour.

The Manning who within a matter of weeks fixed the MK mess, mediocrity and malaise, and transformed a grossly underperforming squad into the top 3 and playoffs.

The Manning who was not only on our shortlist but is on the shortlist of the majority of aspiring clubs like ours.

Back of the class - go do some proper research on the MK boardroom/players travails instead of a lazy, petty backfiring cheap shot.
