Port Said Red Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 You missed a great atmosphere today. Sorry to rub it in, but I feel that those of us who have tried to remain positive throughout the lows have been rewarded, and the noise levels from all parts of the ground were excellent.

054123 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I'm one of those. Looking forward to the infamous third window and next season. The south stand will be rocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 People have to do what they feel is right. Couldn't be there today anyway. Will be there for Birmingham. Still want LJ to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 It's a different atmosphere without the EE Less hostile, no more *anker *anker at the oppo corner taker, or you're shit ah at goal kicks Was loud and vibrant today all the same, especially 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 EVERYONE wants City to stay up. Simple. Most people will still be in the same camp they were in a month ago. Today is not a day for point scoring. Let's just enjoy a decent result and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Obviously very happy we're staying up but it's very convenient for some to gloss over the 5 months of absolute shite. We should never have been in this position, if some want to come on here and act all smug then fair play to you . I for one really hope LJ has learned from his mistakes, if not we'll be doing this again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 It's strange. I remember being told in no uncertain terms (by some) on here that unless SL "grew a pair" and sacked LJ, then we were doomed and had absolutely no chance of staying up. As I've said all along, take away the (dreadful, admittedly) run between October-January and LJ's record is pretty damn decent here. Thankfully SL did have the balls to stick & have faith, where every other team that have/will go down opted to fire & punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but a similar argument is those not glossing over the horrid 5 months have glossed over the very good first 6 months. LJ has been the two extremes. Top 6 form then bottom 2 form and now steadier form. I too hope he's learned from his mistakes. What I really hope is that people can put this season behind them and get behind them again next season. We've reached 51 points and still aren't mathematically safe. It shows how the strong the league is and it'll only get tougher. We should've been better but we survived and hopefully will come back stronger.

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Great win today, great spirit, atmosphere also good. I would say the real bad period this season was from Brighton at home to Forest away. Let's exclude cup games for a minute, after that it was steady improvement, some green shoots and eventually this great section of home games. Sheffield Wednesday at home- first sign of recovery IMO. Drew vs a good side, battled back from behind twice, was a good performance with good heart- that was the first ray of hope for me. 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses- steady! Vs a range of sides too, solid form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'boycott' called for on OTIB by the minority of people with an agenda actually was posted before the Huddersfield game. We've won all 4 since. Maybe they were the bad luck charms? Hopefully they stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest you re-inline your expectations if you actually think that. 3-4 months of it was shambolic, the rest of it we did very well as you seemingly refuse to acknowledge. Like I posted earlier, outside of the teams in the play-offs we've won about 2 games less than any other team. Love to know how that constitutes shambolic. How would you react if you supported Coventry or Leyton Orient? Unless you expected a play-off challenge? My expectations do seem to match SL's, yes. I don't think that's a bad thing.
