Red-Robbo Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 On an all-day piss-up with some of the Old Skool lads and this has made us very happy. Me particularly - my bellend of a boss at the Beeb was a Fulham fan. Get the **** in!!!!! 6 Quote Link to comment
Super Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Credit to LJ not afraid to dump Kodjia and Freeman at half time, we sounded so much better second half. 3 Quote Link to comment

It was bold, and also a sign we've slowly built enough squad depth to actually do something like that, certainly in terms of replacing Kodjia with another decent quality striker. Important win, and will put the the frighteners on Fulham too; for all their attacking power they are now a point off the drop - don't fancy them away to Brum next time out, while absolutely fancy Rotherham at Ipswich on the same day; could see the Cottagers staring League One in the face at the start of April.

Flagon Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Really bad 1st half. We had no shape and a few players seemed to have no idea what position they were meant to be playing. Thankfully made it to half time only a goal down and came out much more composed for 2nd half. Nice finish from Pack and players actually sticking to the positions they must have been told to play. Superb save and block near the end and then a great free kick just after from Tomlin. I thought Reid got the ball moving quicker when he came on which definitely helped the midfield. Fans were great. Stuck with the team all the way. Massive result. 1 Quote Link to comment

As MK Dons showed against Hull...teams at the bottom are generally harder to play against. Well done LJ and the lads and all those supporters getting behind them. Calm down mate, if you'd been at wolves tuesday you wouldn't have been confident of them winning another game this season. 1 Quote Link to comment

Something happened at HT because second half was so much better(obviously). More urgency and desire to press and quicker football. I was unsure on the subs but we took off our worst offenders for holding onto the ball and it worked brilliantly. 1 Quote Link to comment

stephenkibby. Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 The one thing that makes me believe is the fact that twice in the last 4 games we've come from a goal down to win, after not doing that all season. It shows that unlike some on here the players haven't thrown in the towel!! 8 Quote Link to comment

I am calm fella...it's many others who over react after each game who are not. We had a bad game at wolves...so what...it happens. as it does to every team in this league. It's the over reaction of fans after every game that's infuriating...we win one game and it's ok...we lose one game, and we are relegated and LJ is the worst thing since sliced bread. We could go down...we could stay up. Teams around us are fighting for their lives too...it's all to play for. One positive, as the thread I posted earlier shows...we are top of the league in recent away form...so we are heading in the right direction. 11 Quote Link to comment

I don't get it, some had us relegated after 3 minutes today.

Major Isewater Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 All Credit to LJ , the players and staff and our magnificent supporters . Makes I " prowd " I Honestly feared a thrashing at Craven Cottage today . Quote Link to comment
Red Ferret Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Euphoria. What a game Loved the concrete floor bending when the city fans were bouncing! Great noise from our lot Reid only takes two touches. One to control, and then the pass. Good stuff 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe the ball will go into our net and it will be a no goal under controversial circumstances. Colin will then call us cheats because we didn't let them walk in a goal. I starting to think that the pressure is going to play on others around us now and maybe we can relax a bit? COYR Quote Link to comment
Lanterne Rouge Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 As I said earlier, more teams come into it after today. Fulham certainly, Brentford and Huddersfield possibly as well. 1 Quote Link to comment

eardun Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Really enjoyed that. Marlon MOM in my view. One of the best performances from Bobby I've seen. We came out second half and really went for it. Moved it much quicker. LJ earned his money in the half time break. Great atmosphere. First time at Fulham - nice location and decent concourse.

Slack Bladder Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Fair play to Lee for changing it at half time, I just assumed there was some unwritten law that City managers were not allowed to do that sort of thing. Very refreshing. Quote Link to comment

I've been known to use that term this season but that was pretty much in relation to the SC & Freeman backers. You know - the ones who thought and think they could and can (Freeman) do no wrong. I think Pembs and Wade did a good job and would have stuck with them until the end of the season but am happy with LJ thus far. I think we now have more than enough to stay up. 1 Quote Link to comment

Fulham certainly, Brentford and Huddersfield possibly as well. One of the advantages of Rotherham's resurgence is that there are a number of sides who cannot rule out getting drawn in to a genuine scrap. We've pulled in Fulham, and Huddesfield are only 6 points away from Rotherham, with an in form Leeds next, then Sheff Weds, Boro, Hull, Blackburn, before a trip to Rotherham - by that game with the aides they have to play, they could either be free and clear, or have Rotherham nipping at the heels. This season is far from over; what we need to do is just head into each game like it is a must-win until we've dragged ourselves clear, starting at Bolton - I hope we take the energy from this last gasp win and channel it into putting Bolton close to 20 points behind us next week.

maxjak Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Driving home listening to talksport earlier on, their reporter said "Bristol City supporters don't ever shut up…fantastic support" and that when we were one down! Later "lets go to craven cottage, theirs been a sensational late goal"………………and I thought Oh No….Not Again! But How brilliant to hear that its City for a change who have scored a last minute winner? To cap it all I had £20 double on Burnley and City to win away………………LJ did a great job today! 4 Quote Link to comment
JamesBCFC Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Just going to point out that both Warnock and LJ have managed 7 games at their current clubs, one of those has his team a few points clear of the relegation zone as it stands with a 1.71 PPG average, while the other is currently in the drop zone with a 1.57 PPG average.

Always Believesham Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Just wow. For me, that topped Mansfield I wish the silly buggers wouldn't put us through it like today though, the first half was abhorrent. The second was ok, Reid's exuberance and Odemwinge's brain were difference between first and second halves. Will graciously take a loss and a win rather than 2 draws Awesome day out, loads of noise, managed to turn it around. Great to see Ayling fit enough to come on again too Quote Link to comment
