SStandUp Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 The more I hear, the more I'm impressed. He sounds absolutely relentless in his pursuit to get the best out of this club. It was tough last year, but I think we need to start appreciating what a class act we have in charge of our team, and I think many are. I like how he reacts to questions about last year, there's no sweeping it under the carpet, he is honest about mistakes (overthinking etc.), which indicates he has used it and is still using it as a massive learning curve. I like how he talks about always learning, and it sounds like his networking skills are top notch and he has some good friends in football. Delighted it's starting to work out, he loves the club and is desperate to succeed here, long may it continue ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always spoke well in interviews and the more I listen to him the more he impresses me. He's articulate and a deep thinker about the game and yet he's able to explain some of the more technical aspects of football and management in a simplistic way and that's not easy to do. His command of lay speak is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 The fact that we now hear Macca and Deano mean that when we do hear LJ, it feels fresh. Last year it was a bit arrogant, repetitive and because regular sometimes contradicted previous interviews, but I think he’s found an ideal balance this season. I think he’s pretty much won me over!

cidercity1987 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Great interview, very knowledge and clued up questions along with intelligent answers. Bristol City and Lee Johnson is a complex equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuno Gomes Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Couple of things I noticed. His possible question to Mourinho re managing players with ego - does this relate to his experiences with Tomlin? Secondly he said he spoke a possible new player whilst in Manchester; this would chime with the rumour re Liam Walsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was more about ambition to bring in Premier League level players, plus dealing with young City players having to deal with the spotlight. But I'm sure Tomlin was an eye-opener. As for young players, he did also say he went to watch Man City U23's playing, so I think there are a few players it could still be. Someone else suggested Harry Wilson of Liverpool too, though I doubt Liverpool would want to let him go permanently yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 In the interview LJ says he's had some patents filed. I wonder what they could be and if football related at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted December 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 It's the little details that make all the difference in this league. Who would have thought to check the length of the desso pitch grass at Norwich, and finding at 28mm, that the ball would hold up when played over the top or down the channel for players to run on to? It's these little things that can make all the difference in how to play and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's these little things that can make all the difference in how to play and win. That was the part that stood out for me, measuring the grass Measuring the grass, ffs This man is determined to do something special, and he's determined to do it at Bristol City. Was an exceptionally brave call by SL to not sack LJ last March / April. Certainly paid off so far. I'm not sure I'd have made the same decision if I was sat in the chair The other part that stood out, if we had a fully fit squad LJ would want just one player in January. Would be easy to go and spank a lot of money on 3 or 4 to take us over the line, but the man would settle for one. I love that confidence. But, what area would that one signing be? I'd go for an experienced, out and out #10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 They said on sky the equipment he uses to measure the grass cost 220 quid. That's one expensive ruler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I am right in saying that when at Cambridge GJ used to get the grass left longer at each end of the pitch. They had quick strikers/wingers so that way, when the ball was played over the top and behind the defence, it would hold up in the longer grass for his forwards to pick up.

Well the Rovers lot got done by that ‘Feng Shui’ sting so nothing surprises me about the lack of certain scientific rigour in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
