'Norwich have done to us what we did to Oxford'
We asked you for your views on Liam Manning leaving his role as Bristol City's head coach to join Championship rivals Norwich you for all your replies and here is a selection of the thoughts of Robins - Disappointed to lose him and felt we were starting to build something. Hope the likes of Jason Knight and Mark Sykes don't follow him out the - Good luck to him but not sad to see him go. His football was pretty stale - sideways and backwards. In the second leg of the play-offs at 3-0 down you would think he would put three up front and have a go! Rob Edwards to come in for - I think it's a mix of emotions for everyone involved. Last season was a complete rollercoaster, both on and off the field. I would've liked to see Manning have another season at it. However, I respect his decision and that of his family, and I'd like to thank him for all his hard work. He definitely brought belief and excitement back into the - Can't complain as Norwich have done to us what we did to Oxford! Wish Liam all the best, especially after all he has been through this - The fact we've had our manager taken by a team that finished seven places below us is awful. The fact the Norwich board have managed to convince LM that he'll be better backed than he will be at City is disgraceful on our for Lansdown to either put his hand in his pocket and really build around Jason Knight and the new manager or sell the - Personally, I've not got a problem with his departure as the hierarchy can't see his potential. They should have given him the financial backing needed to push on from a pretty good gave the club what they asked for but has been let down by them. Next up? For me it has to be Gary O' - Can't blame him for leaving when you have an owner who won't give him a budget to move the team forward. He performed a miracle to get us into the play-offs. Norwich will back Manning and have a stronger squad and Manning knows that.

Championship roundup: Bristol City leave it late to deny Sheffield United
Mark Sykes struck a last-minute equaliser to snatch Bristol City a 1-1 draw at Championship promotion-chasers Sheffield United. The point was enough to lift the Blades back to the top of the table, but they were denied a seventh win in eight matches by Sykes' last-gasp effort after Tyrese Campbell had given them a second-half lead. Burnley missed the chance to move above Leeds in the promotion race, held to a 1-1 draw by play-off chasing West Brom. John Swift's fine free-kick 20 minutes in saw the Clarets' run of seven consecutive home clean sheets come to an end, although Zian Flemming quickly punished a bad mistake from West Brom goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith. Burnley defender CJ Egan-Riley and manager Scott Parker were sent off after the final whistle following a clash late on, after an incident in which Egan-Riley appeared to kick William Lankshear. Romaine Mundle's brilliant equaliser snatched a point for promotion hopefuls Sunderland in a 1-1 draw with Preston at the Stadium of Light, cancelling out Emil Riis' 65th-minute opener. Matt Clarke and Marcus Harness struck in each half to help Derby boost their survival hopes with a 2-0 victory over in-form Coventry on Frank Lampard's return to Pride Park. Tommy Conway and Anfernee Dijksteel struck either side of half-time as Middlesbrough beat QPR 2-1 to edge themselves to within three points of the play-off places. Sheffield Wednesday produced a superb second-half comeback to beat Norwich 3-2 at Carrow Road and keep their own hopes alive. Luton claimed a precious 2-1 victory over Cardiff in their Championship relegation battle as the contest was overshadowed by an injury to Aaron Ramsey that threatens to rule the Wales captain out of World Cup action. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Ramsey – set to be named in the Wales squad on Thursday for opening World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and North Macedonia – appeared distraught after back-heeling the ball in the 49th minute and pulling up.
