Bar BS3 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 What an outstanding, remarkable turnaround we have shown, from a point where many/most people could see little/no light at the end of the tunnel. To only lose 3 games (in all competitions) in our last 23 matches is testiment to just how much hard work must have been going on behind the scenes during those tough times last season. It wont last forever. We know that! We've all seen false dawns. Too many. However, I'd go so far as to say that this is possibly the best squad & best set up, we have ever had here. Certainly in my 30 years of watching City. Long may the positives outweigh the negatives! P.S. Fix the bloody PA system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can debate all we want Those stats are very impressive, speak for themselves , and can't be reliant on luck or rub of green over such a period Something exciting developing here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ashton Gate a fortress- at this level? Not been seen in a while...not since at the helm was a certain bête noire of @Robbored Seriously though, that's a fabulous run. Beating and drawing with good teams as well- some dross we played too but generally not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I was watching the debate, they spoke about Huddersfield closing their academy down and how this may affect them if they ever got into Europe. I then had a light bulb moment. When we get into Europe like LJ has promised, we will be able to fill the home grown criteria. LJ is a genius. This is his master plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgbbcf Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Well what a turn around. LJs plan coming together nicely. Europa league here we come. Well where ever we go from here the positivity is great and much needed after last year's run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 If you include pre season (I know) aside from one largely u23 game that record is even longer. Regardless of opposition, it shows we have a winning mentality here now. Let's hope it stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 still early doors, come back after 20 games and if we are in a similar postion then I may start thinking play-offs, far to early at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP is saying how we're on a great run of form stretching back to last season and how strong the squad is - not much more than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 3 in 23 (if we avoid defeat in the next one) must be close to a mirror image of last years bad run. Presumably those most vocal about how bad that run was will be creating numerous threads saying how good this run is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Dawe Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 When was Lee Tomlin finally dropped and discarded - about 23 games ago? There's no arguing with stats like that (3 or 4 defeats in 23), very encouraging; and the last two performances have been thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining.

BRISTOL86 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I wonder if people will still be praising Johnson for this excellent run a year from now in the same way they still lambast for the (shorter) bad run that preceded it!

In fairness, at last, people are starting to change their minds and accept that LJ might have something about him. With the odd few, obvious exceptions, who wouldn't class Ghandi as a decent sort of guy, if his name was Lee Johnson..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
