Jack Dawe Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Come on, people. We're Bristol City. Something always goes wrong. At this moment, it's all looking very positive and like we have every reason to feel optimistic (not, going up or play offs optimistic, just midtable plus optimistic). Worryingly so. So where's the catch? My money's on Kodj leaving. It has to be. This team is looking far too enticing. Either this, or someone takes a swing at Tomlin up Failand and he clears off to Fulham in August....or possibly both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456789000 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 First home game last season we were 2-0 up vs Brentford. It was all going well, momentum from last season still being carried, great football being played, fans were loud... and then Freeman gets sent off. Expecting something similar against Wigan, possibly ROD taking down a man in the box. Red. Pen. See you later 16/17 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either this, or someone takes a swing at Tomlin up Failand and he clears off to Fulham in August....or possibly both. I think the potential problem is that we have been seduced by the new signings into thinking we have got a good team in the making. Sod's law the first game against championship newcomers and they play us off the park, thereby deflating all our previously held beliefs and we then go back to thinking we have a load of dross again and it's all Lee Johnson's fault - again! In reality I DO think we have a good team in the making. Not perhaps good enough to challenge at the top end of the table but quite capable of upsetting the better teams in this division and certainly more than capable of staying out of the relegation zone. Fingers crossed we got off to good start so we get some confidence and momentum, both among the players but also the the supporters. As for things like Kodjia leaving. I have been impressed by Lee Johnson in the transfer market and would not be surprised if he and Ashton have a contingency plan and have another player earmarked to go for if it looks like Kodjia could be off.

Fat Cigar Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Obvious one is Kodjia doing one. But, I don't think that'll happen. For now. Magnusson struggling to cope with the physicality of the league. Although he'll love the fact that players in the Championship don't tend to spend half the game rolling about on the floor. That O'Dowda might be a bit like a Freeman - what you can do in Leagues One and Two is very different to what you can do against teams who until (very) recently have been in the Prem. Wigan have bought well and I think that match will be a tough one. I'd happily take a scrappy 1-0 or 2-1. Looking at our opening 5 fixtures, two wins out of the first two must be the objective, but that won't be straightforward. 9 (or even 7) points from our first five games would be a solid start. Then it's Rotherham away (winnable) and then Sheff Weds away (happy with a point). If we don't win at least 1 of our opening 5, I'd start to get a little concerned. We start brightly, think we're on for a far more enjoyable season. To be honest, I just want to enjoy watching City, as I did more and more from end of Jan. Aug 2015 - Jan 2016 was horrible.

Out of his pie crust Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Something to moan about? Tried ringing city for an extra Wigan ticket. Was in a queue for 20 mins then booted out, rang back, informed via recorded message that office is shut as only open 9-5 (it was 4.10). Oh well.

EnderMB Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 We've built a solid mid-table team, so in theory we should be losing just under half of our games anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply asking a genuine question about LJs managerial credentials. To be an attractive proposition to a PL club you need an impressive track record in previous jobs and so far LJ has achieved bugger all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
