chinapig Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Unfortunately, we just cannot seem to get a squad that works, we have tried 3 managers, and various formations and players, but for whatever reason, we seem to be full of errors. Now of course errors make chances, but we seem to be the most adept team over 4 seasons at playing ourselves into trouble. Take Saturday, or another own goal by Flint, the terrible Gillet pass. I mean how as a manager can you deal with that, what can you do ? I genuinely cannot recall a period in my years (40) of watching City where I have seen us make so many self inflicted errors. I have seen us be poor due to lack of ability, beaten by better sides, have squad ruined by injury, a one off wrong tactical choice, freak goals, but never ever have I seen game in game out comical defending and continual basic errors. Never. But it covers many managers, god knows how many players. It is not normal. Still, all we can do is stick together, this is a time when all of us, players , fans and manager have to get backs to the wall. it will not be pretty, it will be rough, but we need to keep our sorry arses in this league, and we won't do that by falling out with each other. At home games, fans have to give it their all, that is all we can do, and then end of season someone really needs to work out the curse that is BCFC :-( A lot of hard work needed. Remember the days when half the people on this board thought Orr, McAllister and McCombe weren't good enough? Since then we have had 5 managers who wouldn't know a good defender if they fell over one and the longest unbroken chain of crap central defenders on record. Players taking the piss while taking the fans' and Steve's money and getting away with it is now the established culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think everyone is over reacting here, we have just faced one of the best sides in the league, and were doing so again. If tonight's scores stay the same, we'll only be a win off of the safety spots. A win on Saturday(yes that'll nene we have to win) and we could be out of the relegation spots, with a game in hand on a couple of the teams around. Let's just hope we don't get absaloutly hammered tonight, so we don't lose all of our confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said; we've got 3 centre backs, two wing backs and two defensive midfielders on the pitch, so that isn't looking likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just hope we don't get absaloutly hammered tonight, so we don't lose all of our confidence The problem is, as others have said, we are not learning anything from these defeats. If Brentford were taking us apart and scoring Premiership quality goals fair enough, but we have apparently gifted them all three goals. It's hard enough playing a team riding high and in form without doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Radio Bristol commentary is ******* awful Apparently the ref has been forgiving and lenient all game even though Gillet was booked after 3 minutes and Wade Elliott booked about 5 minutes after he came on...

fatchers Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think its more to do with the frustration of the constant costly mistakes. Before the Wolves gameI thought we d be lucky to get one point from these two very difficult games. Like you say, Iif we win saturday things can look a whole lot better Iif the other results go for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 1 point from 6 is what i thought we would get; so we get 1 less.. its not much worse. -4 goal diff is more of a disappointment for me.. thus far. None of us should be too surprised and, therefore, too negative by the lack of points haul from these two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
