handsofclay Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 We have been in every match. We have not been on the end of any whippings. I can recall many a match under different regimes where the opposition have looked like they have been on a different planet to us and handed out a humiliating beating. That has not happened under L J. We have lost by the odd goal every time...Therefore we have been competitive. Call yourself supporters! Yeah, we will support you Bristol City ever more...As long as you don't lose close games. If you lose a few close games on the trot then we will put the knife in, vilify our players and castigate our manager. We will put forward the names of managers we would prefer to the present incumbent...Including ffs Daryl Clarke!!!! Jesus wept, what are you spoiled brats or genuine SUPPORTERS. Get behind the lads. If your brother needed support would you say that you would give it but only if he was successful and provided you with great times but if he was really suffering despite trying you would put the boot in. That is not support. I have heard from several who say that they avoid this forum after a defeat because they hate the negativity and scorn that is then displayed here. A century ago our nation's young men were giving their lives in the trenches. They had backbone. Look that word up if it is, as I suspect, alien to you. Get with it, children. Jesus, had Alan Dicks been judged by the majority on here he wouldn't have survived the end of the 1960s let alone reached the glory of 1976. He would have been replaced by Don Megson! We have a great manager in the making and a great team. All they ask from us at the moment is our SUPPORT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I've read some great posts on here today , ******* pathetic. Oooo we haven't lost by more than one goal, support the manager blah blah ******* blah. 7 defeats on the record breaking spin, farcical substitutions , rowing with players and then dropping them, how much more of this do we have to suck up before we're allowed to express our displeasure ??? Lose 2-1 or lose 4-0 , what do you get most points for? 10 defeats out of 11 , ignore Fleetwood until we lose up there, fickle? I thought the crowd was right behind the team today, I'll just repeat that point, 10 losses in 11 and the support hasn't turned to any great extent until ...... well today probably. He's been given more than enough opportunities and bollixed the lot. I said after Reading and the shit ridiculous subs he made, I was done. I was appeased by some very promising signings (thanks Mark Ashton SL etc) but today was back to square one. LJ did get animated about a throw in but apart from that? No leadership. Yeah we should happily clap them back into L1 and say "I'm a fan" yaaayy go Lee keep losing by the odd goal as it's not really losing is it.

Things 'finally clicked' from the flames of a Youth Team that reached the FA Youth Cup Final - our own version of the 'Class of 92' We got together (By fortune or good scouting) a group of young players who played a major part up of the promotion side. You can claim this is what we are trying to do but the current football world is ruthless and time is not given , whether you like it or not And it's my opinion , right or wrong , that Lee is in over his head , certainly at this stage of his managerial career at the very least A bad appointment is a bad appointment no matter how long you stubbornly stick with it I may be wrong about LJ - SL may stick with him and we may see a continual improvement from him and the side I bl**dy hope I'm wrong , and this indeed is what happens but I will be genuinely shocked ( And delighted) to see him turn this around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Humble Realist Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 The opening poster talks about supporters growing a backbone. ..the irony! If the players had grown one we would have drawn with wolves and ipswich and beat reading and Cardiff Point is we didn't. ..and things need to change. Ive been fully behind LJ until today...but enough is enough. If he stays il continue to support him and the team ...of course I will and we all want city to win. Just because fans have different opinions about the club doesn't make anyone any less of a supporter. ..yourself included Coyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I support the club that's why it hurts even more when I see the type of thing going on now. LJ is not an experienced manager. He tinkers more than Ranieri did when at Chelsea. Losing by 1 goal is still losing. Losing after leading is even worse and that is a habit we have recently added to our repertoire. The reality is clear is that LJ has been promoted to a position beyond his ability. We have a better squad than this time last year but we are now only 3 points better off than we were when Pemberton got us our last gasp victory over Middlesbrough. Millions spent on the future by Ashton & LJ, while the present is going down the dumper. Far too often we are not only not playing our best players we are playing the others in unfamiliar positions. Too many round pegs in square holes, with the same results. The reality is something dramatic has to change to turn things around. In large part I blame SL & his son for appointing a friend. It is never good business practice because if things are going wrong like they are now it leaves both of you in an awkward position. So the answer is we need a new Head Coach / Manager ASAP. I don't enjoy saying someone should lose their job, but when it becomes clear that they are not up to the task the kinder thing to do is to relieve them of their duties. Not easy but it needs to be done. If not we will be back in League 1 quicker than you can say Tinpot Trophy. And if Dippy Darrell keeps doing what he is doing, on next to no money, then we could be in for even more pain in the next few months. We have no given right to stay in this division & on current form we are the worst team. Much as it hurts me to say it, DD even has more pedigree as a manager than LJ, who hadn't/hasn't achieved anything at any level. So in summary, SL give Gary Rowett a ring tonight. Find out what it would take to bring hi here. Failing that try Kenny Jackett. Anyone experienced at this level who is at least going to give us a chance of staying up.

Snufflelufagus Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Losing by 1 goal has probably done us no favours. It may have been better (for one of the last seven losing games) to have taken a 5 nil hiding. At least then we may have had a reaction the next game and got a 0-0 or ground out 1-0 win.
