Bristol City boss Liam Manning has taken aim at fans who booed his team at full-time following their 0-0 draw against Sheffield Wednesday.
He said this to Bristol Live, and it was obvious that Manning was offended by the criticism.
The Robins would have preferred to have scored more points by now, but they have had a somewhat poor start to the season.
While their victory over Oxford United helped to bolster morale, their start to the season hasn’t been entirely awful. However, they haven’t gained as many points as they would have liked.
They have missed a few opportunities to win games, and yesterday was no exception. City was playing at home against a team that has struggled at times this season, and they had the home edge.
Football Insider revealed prior to Manning’s game versus Oxford last month that he was under pressure at Ashton Gate.
Since then, they have secured a 2-1 win against Oxford and drawn against Swansea City and the Owls.
Having made some promising additions during the summer, fans may be disappointed that the Robins haven’t made a better start, and many were left frustrated with last night’s showing.

Liam Manning hits out at Bristol City boos after Sheffield Wednesday draw
During the game, the Owls only had a couple of chances and they came towards the latter stages of the game.
As well as this, Wednesday hadn’t picked up a single point away from home this season before their trip to Ashton Gate.
This may have increased the Robins supporters’ frustrations, but Manning wasn’t happy with those who booed his team at full-time.
He told Bristol Live: “It’s disappointing, you don’t want it and I think the lads didn’t deserve it. I think it sums the world up a little bit.
