The Coach

That home against Millwall was the closest I’d ever come to a heart attack out of anger and stress. 
 

Believe we were favourites for the league (or one of them) and I believed it. That all quickly crumbled during the Millwall game.

Huddersfield vs Birmingham this Saturday. What a game that should be.

I kind of feel we did try to buy success during LJ’s tenure. However, that failed and we backed the wrong horse in typical Bristol City manner.

I’m also guessing Twine is on very good wages at Burnley, and most likely earns a lot more than most of our own playing squad. 
 

I was of the understanding we were avoiding this route and looking to bring players in oh similar wages.

It’s a no from me. Twine has the feeling of another Palmer and Tomlin effect.

I agree that Palmer should get the nod over Saka, who's looking a bit jaded at the moment. But Foden is arguably more dangerous when he plays in the middle, in the no 10 role

Arguably Bellingham is the best in the world at the moment in the number 10 role if we were going down that route.

Anyway…we know Rashford and Henderson will start. 

At the moment front 3 should be Foden, Kane & Palmer.

Feel like it’s going to be exactly the same next season with us finishing 12th - 14th

Blackburn looking more like Bristol City tonight than we do.

Hopefully more than the 13k we had against Swansea 

Looks more empty now!

Stadium pre match looked empty. Never seen it so empty.

Two deflected goals.  Typical jammy Real Madrid 

You can say jammy but you’ve still got to make the opportunities 

I’m sure he will pick up another job quite quickly. Very bizarre sacking.

Am I right in saying Rotherham have failed to win a single match on the road this season???..............

Step up Bristol City

Have only just switched on. I take it we’re back to BAU?

This thread sums up the issue with the forum in my opinion.

Two pages on a non City player (yes cracking player and all that), vs a thread on Pack having a great season on the "ex-players" sub forum and no replies at all.

Think we need to relook at how the forum is set up.

Only one man’s opinion. But having constant topics on former players who are still playing competitive football is rather tinpot. Whilst talking about a young English talent who’s now in discussion for a starting place this summer competition.
 

Again, only my opinion.

I don't think you are a true City fan.

Many of us have supported the team through all the divisions with various qualities of manager and players.

Yes it's been horrible at times but personally, I still loved watching the team home and away and with same degree of passion and enthusiasm wherever we are.

That's what real supporters do.

 

I think that’s a very harsh statement to make. 
 

I actually admire any supporter who stands up and says they no longer enjoy the football nor have any emotion into caring of the result. Given how the club have treated supporters for so long. It’s no surprise people feel this way.

Going to watch football is now such an expensive past time. People have the right to complain given the investment they put in. The truth is, we’re no longer supporters but paying customers. If we’re not happy with the running of the club, or the performances. We have a right to complain. Especially when the same mistakes are made over and over.

It does tickle me with posts like yours who still have a 70s mindset of football. It’s no longer the working man’s game, it’s now the rich man’s business empire. It’s no surprise Bristol City football club is such a cosy club, when supporters still provide the club the same emotion and care as seeing your young boys team playing on a Sunday morning.

The behaviour and actions of the club over recent years would not be tolerated at most clubs. Especially those up north, we would have been enriched with all sort of protests.

Bristol City Football Club. Cosy Club. Too Soft Of a Fanbase.

That kind of sensible chat has no place here, this is a Pro Pearson thread for forgetful Pro Pearson people. 

I feel many on here are actually sensible with their opinions and view on the club given the clubs behaviour and how unnecessary the club have derailed our season. While we’ve still shown no real sign of improvement since the removal of Pearson. Yet again, we head into the unknown and it’s understandable to have cause of concern for the future.
 

It’s not a pro Pearson thread at all.

I think if you’re prepared to dish it out you also have to be prepared to give credit when it’s due. So well done to Manning and team. Push on now please for a strong season and don’t let this just be a purple patch.

If we go at Plymouth in the same way we have in recent games. Then we’re back at square one and today’s result means nothing. 
 

It is one game. It’s now a big challenge for Manning to prepare the team for Monday and build upon today’s performance and result.

Well deserved. Well done team

Can you say that about a few more City players as it seems to have energised Anís.

I’ve done it a few times with Manning but my magic isn’t strong enough.

I’m absolutely done with Mehmeti. Let him go on a free in the summer.

Good first half. Credit to the team and setup.

Lets see how we are second half
