Draw & a replay against Fleetwood, & a loss to Burnley is also subjectively worse than a 3-0 loss to Watford with a team of kids & two last minute losses to Man City. The wider context of the season makes 2017 worse, too, I’d say - but appreciate such a context hasn’t been mentioned. Remains to be seen whether we can better the 16pts we subsequently achieved in 2017 ‘til May. Here’s hoping. Interesting to note just how similar the run has been, though.

Those who are Gas are most likely the ones content with midtable. No ambition like the Gas Yeah, absolutely nothing to do with the players at all.. who in the space of one week let a 5-0 lead slip at one point. I think it's very "Gas" to want a manager out after being 7th competing with the likes of Wolves, Villa and Middelsborough who all have players on premier league wages.. but I have a funny little feeling you seem to enjoy the attention of being the OTIB badboy, so you keep at it.

Swede Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I am truly astonished by some of the negativity on here. Despite what some think, 8th or 9th & a major Cup Semi-final represents real progress. We ARE punching above our weight. We ARE a work in progress. We HAVE a really bright and forward thinking Head Coach. I am as disappointed with today's result as any City fan but with the high pressing way we like to play it is inevitably going to take its toll over the season and maybe its no coincidence that a dip coincides with state of some pitches (certainly today) We all know we can play a lot better, the trick is getting the consistency. A little perspective needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin101 Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Here’s an idea lads, instead of calling our entire staff pathetic, gutless and suggesting they should all be ashamed, how about you get behind a team in 7th, 3 points off the play offs, with 9 games to go. Yes, our form has absolutely nosedived. But we know how good we CAN be so let’s roar OUR team (who lets not forget gave us our most memorable 6 months for a decade despite recent events) on and try to turn this around. Half expecting a call to boycott the club any second due to the scandalous fall from 2nd to 7th. What ever happened to ‘We’re Bristol City, we always believe’.

Strange both seasons our form has fallen apart January to march and as you said, both seasons just 2 wins in 12 games is poor. With the same happening to Johnson before coming here you have to wonder if there is something in the style of play, training, causing it. Twice is a coincidence, three times a pattern.

Yet simultaneously you think Johnson can never take a team up at this level? And you also think he shoulf be sacked now?

Kent won’t get a pre-season here, he’ll be somewhere else Diony has disappointed me after the brief promise he showed v QPR. We were poor again today, no one can disagree with that. Johnson needs to find the reason. Whatever he said after PNE, we weren’t great there either. Home form is ok, away from home we’ve become a soft touch again. What is it 2 wins,2 draws and 2 defeats in 6 . For a team supposed to be going for the play offs that isn't really ok. Away 3 draws and 3 defeats is approaching awful though.

The fixtures seemed kinder and should offer a chance of some points and maybe see back in the thick of the playoff fight. Middlesboro and Millwall are the toughest games in the next 6 , if we could somehow find some form then the push could be back on. Sadly after yesterday I can't see it.
