Liam Manning promised that his Bristol City side will get even better after their 4-1 victory at Watford. The Robins thoroughly deserved their triumph, their third John Carlson Jersey straight win under former Oxford bo s Manning, who arrived at Ashton Gate last month. It was also their first on the road under Manning, and Citys first back-to-back triple since November 2020. Manning said: Were going in the right direction but I told the players afterwards that we can play better than that. Thats what excites me about the group. The challenge is to strive every day to improve, but there were so many positives today. Three or four weeks ago, I was giving interviews saying how it would come together for us, and it would happen. Im delighted for the players. Theyve stayed level and grounded, they havent got too flat when weve lost or super high when weve won, and thats the most important bit head down and work hard. The game plan worked, Riley Sutter Jersey Im very fortunate to have a staff who are as obse sive and intense as me. They put a lot of hours in to create what we want to do. And huge credit goes to the players in the way they implement it. That game plan saw City go ahead in the 28th minute. Watford Madison Bowey Jersey midfielder Edo Kayembes attempt to head clear from Taylor Gardner-Hickmans free-kick fell straight to Cameron Pring, who hammered home. Then, two minutes into first-half added time, Watford skipper Wesley Hoedt put Tommy Conways cro s into his own goal without a City player anywhere near. Substitute Giorgi Chakvetadze narrowed the lead four minutes into the second half, only for Mark Sykes to make it 3-1 almost from the restart. City replacement Andreas Weimann killed off the game with Citys fourth in the 83rd minute against his former side as Watford stood vainly waiting for the offside flag after the Austrian had been set free by Joe Williams pa s. Watford bo s Valerien Ismael had been hoping to see his side break into the top six, but he said: Its a big disappointment. We gave the game away from the first minute. We Washington Capitals Jersey made too many mistakes, which made it difficult to give a fluid display. What summed up the match was when he came back into it at 2-1 and then conceded. That was sloppy. We beat ourselves. We have to take control of the ball more. We have to always stay on a level where we can win the game. But against City we beat ourselves its as simple as that. We never had control. Fatigue is no excuse its the same for every team. We know we have the solution, but on the other Brooks Orpik Jersey hand we must make sure that everyone can perform at the correct level.
I wish I could take credit and I proudly would if someone hands me the title. I like what I see and appreciate the effort. Please make a note of my name if it makes you feel better because I'm in accord with the direction it's headed. As you can see, ~my~ name is Ken Hennell. I've been growing avocados in San Diego County for 42 years. I've suffered the painful distinction of having been one of if not the largest water user in the Fallbrook Public Utility District. Over the years I've managed to survive by routinely producing three times the industry's per-acre average. I'm one of the medium sized growers who's been paying for the Commission's ineffective clown-show and their abandonment of promoting California avocados as being a superior product. Don't read anything into my form of obliging your demand. It's no secret who's doing the heavy lifting around here and they're doing it at the request of growers like me. So, I'll suggest a name for the emails we send out: The Commission Does Nothing While We Lose Money and Agonize Over Our Friends and Neighbors Turning Off the Water and Fallowing Their Land. If you would please, Mister *Show yourself*...."show yourself"
@kenhennell Amen Ken, I’ll add my name to supporting it and not trying to hide. I’m Kurt Bantle (aka the Avocadodude). I 100% support what the coalition is trying to do. It’s April, I’m half way through harvest, yet to see one ounce of marketing from the commission. I appreciate what Tim Spann does. That’s about it. I wrote Tom last year and got an email back telling me I don’t understand how marketing works. 🤯 So yea, not trying to hide and sick of the lack of support from the commission!
California comprises less than 20% of the avocados being marketed in the US. How difficult would it have been to establish and target a specialty market that's looking to avoid the inferior imports that tarnish consumer confidence? Is it incompetence? Dereliction of duty? We need to look closely and figure out why this is happening. Which Commission participants stand to receive a benefit from non-US sales? The guidelines used to establish the Commission's demographics were never intended to include members who also benefit from our competition. The board's makeup needs to be revisited and unfortunately, an independent review and punitive action may be our only option. A broker or packer who's primary income is from imports has zero incentive to promote California as being superior to their non-California fruit and will resist asking for premium-fruit returns to the grower. If a packer comes along who supports our industry and has the courage to establish a seasonal, California Avocado premium-fruit market, they will have done what our own Commission refuses to do. I'm waiting for that day but time is running out. Here's a photo of what the handlers bring to our industry by putting their needs before ours.
