Still makes me laugh how some on here bleat on that they prefer our "brand" of football Those that call him names are only bitter and jealous of the success he has bought teams. Success we can only dream about Yep and it’s astonishing at the silence from the committed anti-Warnock brigade on here tonight.... @JamesBCFC is usually vocal against the ‘dinosaur’ who is currently SEVEN points clear of third place having won NINE and drawn two of the last eleven games, James (along with others) likes to say how much of a ‘long ball’ team Cardiff are compared to us, despite the fact that OPTA stats show we have played more long balls this season than Cardiff....and Warnock is on the verge of a record breaking EIGHTH promotion....but he’s rubbish ain’t he?! Unbelievable....I really do give up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warnock is alright, he does not hate Bristol City, it's his mind games that we constantly fall for every single time. He loves us because we are so soft as a club. That is a top, top post.....

That’s long enough time to grasp some fans might have valid concerns over the brand of football Warnock plays, and the bollocks he spouts about referees, opposition, the Johnson family, Bristol City’s thuggish fans, etc.? Feel free to take over City or go and support Cardiff, because for all his faults our owner wants to do things with pride and dignity on the pitch (the less said shout off it the better) so unlucky suckers.

Maybe he needs a different approach as for all his millions the top flight still alludes him and yet again Cardiff our biggest rivals at this level look set to have ANOTHER pop at it.

Second losers in the Carabao Cup (first losers were Arsenal) and “10 reasons why City bottled it” already written in a division we would have been happy to finish top half in.

JBFC II Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Warnock is a highly successful manager, I wouldn't want him managing the club as I'm not a fan of his style of play nor the poor position he leaves most clubs in but he gets you instant success and he is a legend of football, no doubt about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southend Blue Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 You can void the game on Saturday and we'll just award you the points. In years past would have made the journey over but not a chance in hell in making a 250 mile round trip after the latest debacle the team served up tonight. If Bristol City want three points to aid any objectives left in your season it's an absolute guarantee you'll receive it from us for the next game. If you have a moment take a look over at TWTD to gain a very good insight of what the supporters are having to endure. Manchester United out of Europe presented a minor comfort, but then again an English team winning the competition would arguably have been a satisfactory ending for some.

Personally I'm not in the camp of promotion at all costs, which is what warnock would do. Promotion would be great, to see the top teams in the country down here would be something that many of us have never experienced but losing 4/5-0 every week and aiming for 17th every season just wouldn't be for me, would rather be competitive in the championship than getting hammered in the premiership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s more than annoying though to many of us. You might see his play as pragmatic, I’d call it borderline cheating, and it’s certainly shameless. Put it this way, if Cardiff got to the Carabao semis would the world have been talking about their brand of football in the same way it was about ours? City have hit a rough patch at the same time Cardiff are doing well, and if you choose to compare them at their best and us at our worst then go for it. But there’s a reason our relegation form has only put us eighth and it’s probably worth remembering that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I dont think SL likes Colin much, so wouldn't have him here. On the other hand, Colin lives in Cornwall, so regular trips to AG would be easier for him. Like all managers, things will eventually go sour at Cardiff and he will be sacked, but at 70, he has said that this will be his last managerial post. Like him or loathe him, you can't really argue against his record though. His teams are always pretty tough, whereas ours.............???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not really watched much of Cardiff but I guess it's balls in the box from the wings? And yeah I don't think ours is as good as what people make out.

A bit of an over reaction there BR. I watched the Bees v Cardiff on Sky and was impressed with both teams. However what impressed me the most was the tempo of the game.Both teams going for it, The high tempo led to some hoof ball at times with misplaced passes but overall it was an enjoyable game. Cardiff have better players throughout the team and that's why they're pushing Wolves for the top spot. Brentford are pretty useful as well and I would say, based on tonight game that City are some way behind both of them. That said, next season once all the summer ins and outs are concluded I fancy City to be putting in a serious challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there’s a reason our relegation form has only put us eighth and it’s probably worth remembering that. Our brand of football has been found out and we don't have a plan B unfortunately. That, plus injuries have blighted our push. Worryingly, our rough patches go on for far too long! No-one will remember our champagne football in years to come if we don't progress. It won't say 10th (but they played really well) in the record books. Until we want promotion badly enough as a club we are unlikely to progress much further than where we are today. I was lucky enough to see top flight football at Ashton Gate and I would love to see it again. Win or lose there is nothing quite like being amongst the elite clubs in this country.
