reddogkev Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 One of the worst aspects of a city defeat are the witch hunts and threads of complaint / despair on OTIB after a loss; the mood following a defeat can sometimes be far too toxic and gloomy. If it happens this evening, let's take it on the chin and look into the quality of the game, figure out what went wrong etc - no need for too much outrage! Of course, this can probably be ignored as I'm sure we'll draw 1-1 tonight. Here's hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we lose then I will get the ball rolling .................. Crap tactics, crap substitutions, crap pitch, everyone crap, LJ out !!!!

Drew Peacock Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 No fun in that. Despair when we lose, unbridled joy and optimism when we win. It is what being a football fan is all about - get those emotions working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 @reddogkev Top post. I usually steer clear when we lose. In every aspect of the game on and off the pitch we are progressing. Performances will dip, the club with release poorly though out pricing, LJ will make mistakes, we will sign the odd duffer, but vision, objectives, and desire of everyone cannot be faulted. Hopefully, we can build on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy27 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Johnson out if we lose. Most exciting time ever to follow city if we win. That's pretty much how it always is and always will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I had, but my point is precisely that it is a temporary dip not on downward spiral. As long the players believe in the philosophy of the club and the tactics of the coaches, work on their own personal improvement, and stay professional then we will progress. We have so much more than basket case clubs like Birmingham, West Brom, Sunderland, Forest, Leeds, and I'd include Cardiff despite their current position.

A good win - like on Saturday - and for some pepple everything is rosy in the garden, Johnson is a genius, our players are PL class, we're definitely going up etc etc. Reality is, playing at home, we exposed the flaws in a very weak team whereas tonight we take on a decent side at their place. If we win by 4 goals tonight I will do back flips down Shepton high street and concede that Johnson is indeed a genius. If we get a draw, I'll be quite happy though.

I don't consider 13 points out of last 36 as a blip. It is lower mid table form. And I would also add that in my time as a City fan lasting nearly seventy years, and that I cannot remember that we ever threw away a 3-0 halftime lead until Derby last season and the miserable non performance against Sunderland. No consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really interesting point about beating them by 4 goals. Were we to get beaten by 4 at preston then there would obviously be a meltdown but not really a shock whereas it would be a shock if we won by 4. What that tells me is that although we have the makings of a really good team we still have a team where anything could happen- both good and bad.That's why Wolves are going up and we might make the play offs depending on whether Jekyll or Hyde turns up.
