Imagine being delusional enough to think we should be winning every game comfortably. Please don't give me the 'we don't, we just want to play well in every game' well Einstein, no football team does that. We got a point playing badly. What a shame. You must be ******* gutted.

As soon as soon me people ask questions and voice concerns the belittlers come out in their droves, rubbishing every negative comment. I was there tonight and we didn't turn up for almost the entire game. In fact we were absolutely battered by Brentford....Brentford! We are the 6th biggest spenders this year in this division. We don't expect to win every game, but we expect a reaction after half time, just like Brum did against us. We pay our money we are entitled to our opinions, positive or negative. You're absolutely entitled to your view as I am mine. But we ain't got anything from "Brentford....Brentford!" for seasons now. We got a point. We might not have deserved it but on another day we'd have folded and shipped 4 or 5. We didnt. Being 6th biggest spenders means nothing either. Time will tell if the money we've spent was wisely invested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people are bought into Johnson, a lot won't have him and im definitely on that side of the fence. It won't unite until Johnson goes, too many fans are too far gone from being able to accept him anymore. We can do better than him, we should be doing better than him, if he is the best we can attract I despair, we are never going to push on to the next level with him in charge. I will support the team no matter what but i think we deserve better, and he is the weak link. Just what i think, dont expect people to agree. I want him to do well and take City up, but like you I just can't see it happening.....at this moment in time. He still has some learning to do. Can see fireworks on here if we are struggling come November/ December though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I was there and totally agree we were battered and rarely got out of our own half but when we did we looked dangerous every time and scored 2 from 3 shots on target was it ? Our keeper was sensational and we did defend very well in numbers under the continual onslaught from a team that will win plenty at home. I can take those positives from a game we definitely would have lost last season. A little progress but any progress is ok in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 2 hours ago, Cheesleysmate said: That was a relegation performance, but agree that suggesting nailed on relegation is ridiculous at this stage. Cardiff might have played the 3 sides that go down at the end of the season. I remember when we drew with Scunthorpe United, opening day of the Johnson Snr promotion season. We thought it was a disappointing draw at the time, but Scunthorpe won the league and we finished runners up! I'm Not (edited....oops) aiming this at you, but it's a bit ironic a relegation performance got us a point, whereas a better but mixed performance on Saturday got us zilch. It's an unpredictable division. You're right, you don't know who the good or bad teams are yet. Brentford - fantastic last night, but went into the match having lost to Forest and Sheffield Utd - neither most would expect to be play-off contenders. Brentford - my dark horses, so I'm chuffed that we got a point, despite performance. 1 hour ago, Sweeneys Penalties said: Neither a happy clapper nor a dismal Joe. I see what I see.

I totally agree with this to be frank and I've stood by that opinion since January. It doesn't mean I start having toddler esque tantrums after 3 games though like some have done... especially as we've had an acceptable points return so far.

I was relieved to get a point last night because we didn't deserve it at all on the balance of play throughout the game. However, we have played some great stuff and it's definitely a strange division. Someone else said it earlier, it's the in game management bit that has been a concern in the last 2 games. Not the end of the world by any stretch, but worrying because last year we had a problem just after conceding and lost some from winning positions and the games simply just slipped away from us. The Norwich game sticks in my mind. The reaction to conceding or going behind is really important. Strength of character is vital to the success of any team.

We are all entitled to our opinions. Doesn't make you any less educated by having a different and sometimes negative opinion, borne solely out of desperately wanting your club to succeed, and certainly at the very least expecting the 11 men on the pitch to at least put in a performance to match the opponent in front of them. You are entitled to your opinion. And I'm entitled to criticise your opinion if I want to, and vice versa! Sorry if it gets your back up, I'm sure we both want what's best for the club really!

But they are a little bitty dot in the overall support base and, like last season with their pathetic little "boycotts" and banners, they will go back under their stones if we have a good run. They know who they are and everyone else knows as well. You should change your name mate because you are one of the most cheerful and optimistic posters on here. I'm not sure about demonising people that are anti Johnson because they have a very strong case. It's all about opinions after all and as long as they present their arguments in a constructive way, and like myself are prepared to stand by their views, I don't think its right to call them pathetic or not real fans. What is pathetic though were some of the knee jerk temper tantrum posts that we saw on Tuesday night. That was embarassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's inevitable for people to have deep concerns about Johnson after last season. There's no problem with this. There is a problem however with people making it personal, tweeting him abuse or even death threats. I believe there is a group in our fans who want LJ to fail so they were 'right' and so that he goes. This is difficult to prove though as people won't come out and admit to that.
