Interesting to see he’s still the best performing player in the league (almost 8/10 avg) according to FotMob but also can see he’s getting better - both by average rating and also goal contributions. ❤️

My immediate thought is a little different… I feel like the club should be looking to bring in a strong assistant who can help bare the load, challenge Des and so on. Colin Calderwood did the same alongside Neil Critchley at Blackpool last time they went up.

Haha I just watched the last 20. Ipswich were epic to be fair, relentless - no love lost on Bristol City though... Looks like mid-table mediocrity for them. You may wish to enduldge in threads like these... https://www.otib.co.uk/topic/224491-liam-manning-press-conference-bingo/...

@tonyw I've often thought the same too. What's the end goal for the owners that makes sense for them as investors? It doesn't look like it ever makes financial sense, so why are they throwing in so much sweat, time and most importantly money?

Bolton and Derby losing - teams really are struggling for momentum at the moment...

Hi Liam. 😂

Reflecting a little - he's been good, but a few facts from the league so far: Clean sheets: Beadle #7 / 30 (tied with Ripley (Rovers), Mariosi (Shews), Stevens (Vale), Brynn (Orient) & Tickle (Wigan) Save percentage: #13 / 24 Saves per 90: #18/24 Goals prevented: #11/24 Goals conceded per 90...

I'm only going off the 2 minutes of highlights, but Brannagan spraying long quarterback style balls to the wing... That a desiBall style move we can expect to see more of? Be interested to catch the extended highlights on iFollow later to see all the stuff you guys say were missing!

Can you imagine have two solid left backs all of a sudden? #wtf

Incase you fancy a giggle at those BC fans: https://www.otib.co.uk/topic/222998-mannings-post-match-interview/

Let's hope you've had your quota of goals for this week mate. Should be a good game...

Genuinely though, why DO they? Don't they just have to be good coaches of football (a la #DesiBall)? I'm not against it, but I don't see strong arguments for, when in reality we just need 'good coaches' surely?

Depends how many JCH can bag for us, come January... :coffee:🤪

I didn't get to see the match, but as our first glimpse of #desiBall, i'm worried...

Totally get the comments about Bodin being a first 11 challenger, but in exchange for who and in what formation? For me, he's not a '9' and Rodrigues surely operates best as the typical '10'. You're not gonna play Bodin out wide, so where does he fit? Feels to me it's Bodin or Rodrigues or...

100%, but it's no different to us discussing who we might want to pick up in January. It's perfectly normal as wel well know for fans of other clubs to be eyeing up our players. Personally, I don't see it and more-over what's to say we don't leap from Coventry by the end of the season? Feels...

I wouldn't say click bait, because the title quite clearly shows what the articles intent is and that it's an opinion based on the use of the word 'should'. It's just one person's opinion, sure...

I agree, except one area - i'm not 100% convinced on Browne vs Mills. It might be a recency bias, but Mills has been really good, so direct and pacey - Browne can get lost in some games, so that's my only challenge... Hope to see Browne back and fully at it to prove me wrong as we move into...
