With virtually a new team over the last 9 months it's unbelievable after last season. 23 points after 14 Games! Let's take it 5 games at a time, not 2?

shelts Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 At the moment things are going well , with that expectation grows so do the critics. Part of football and I'm sure our very well paid manager and his troops have heard it all before. Chill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern isn't for the management and players...who will all move on eventually....it's for the poor sods amongst us who can't enjoy the good times when they're here! I'm sure you're not amongst them Shelts but I've followed the club for going on 50 years now and in all that time there have been pitifully few evenings when we've been sat higher in the league than we are tonight...

bs3 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Haven't read all the posts but who moaning. I don't really get threads like this, after all it's a forum and people are meant to discuss Bristol City and express an opinion. Is it a case of we are only allowed to come on here when we are losing. Like I said haven't read all the post but I don't get the sense of a lot of negativity.

Tinmans Love Child Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Today was all about ending the losing run and getting back on track, 3 points and a clean sheet is all that matters today, build some confidence going into Tuesday night when we have every chance of reaching the Qtr Finals, hope we can shift a load of tickets and get another 20k plus crowd!

You make a fair point. I came out of the game asking myself do I want to be entertained a little moreand possibly get nowt, or play poor win and be in the promotion mix?!!

If you find that battle entertaining in itself then even a game like QPR or Cardiff has something to offer.

I don't know what moaning you're referring to as I haven't read every thread , but this is a forum where people express their views. If everyone is honest, this was a dire game against a poor team in the relegation zone. O.K, let's celebrate being near the top of the table, but also be honest about the performance. It was awful. Blackburn's goalkeeper didn't have a proper save to make apart from Wilbraham's shot which took a lucky deflection. But, it's 3 points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I think some people forget that this is a forum. I see very little if any negativity, all I see is people really happy for an ugly but timely win after 2 defeats and discussing where things need to be improved, pretty much echoing the words of LJ, whatever is the problem with that?.

Football is football and I accept it ain't all about free flowing ball play as it takes two to tango. Teams are doing their homework and making things rather difficult for us.

Ahhh when the drugs don't work then, because I believe a huge majority would describe it oppositely to you and are also celebrating just like I am.

BobBobSuperBob Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thought their 10. Marshall looked quality - great range of passing Wouldnt mind him in our squad Thought Emnes did well too - thought he held ball up for them well and was a threat (Based on that performance, again we could do worse) Edit Knew little about Marshall Ex Stoke / Leicester with a unremarkable career to date - have to say impressed me today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic. I hope you are on the way to recovery. This just goes to prove that watching City is far better than taking drugs. If only a City season ticket was available on the NHS!

Snufflelufagus Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I would say Blackburn looked at half decent team. They got quite a few good blocks in when we had decent shots. No team in this division is a pushover. And would echo that we certainly wouldn't have won this game this time last year (probably losing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 What moaning? Seems like the "moaning" accusation gets thrown out there a lot without any actual evidence. Plenty of comments about the poor quality of the game - and quite rightly so, it was dreadful! But I don't think anyone fails to recognise the overall progress we are making on and off the pitch.

Big C Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I think some people need to realise we're Bristol City and not Barcelona and that we are not going to win every week and/or play attractive football. Today was a good 3 pets won after the two defeats. I must admit I find it satisfying winning a game like today, a game last season we would have probably lost. Last season we were flirting with relegation and at the moment we are flirting with the play offs. That's progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper 123 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 People enjoy it , performances will ebb and flo but you have to stick with it , get behind what lansdown and club are trying to achieve , keep turning up and keep trying to get mates to come along with you , the good times are close !

You keep saying that and other/most people are saying where is the moaning and where is the negativity?. The consensus seems to be shit game, ugly but welcome win and people discussing the game, things that could be improved, the referee (all things that LJ alludes to) and also varied subjects like the pies, the view etc. etc. that is what a football forum is for, tonight there has been virtually 100% discussion with little or no moaning or negativity.
