reformed_red Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 OK. I like LJ, and I really want him to succeed. However, I fear he has way too much inability to manage in game situations. This is apparent and has been for several months if not more here, and at his former clubs if you reasearch their forums (I know, don't trust everything you read online ). It's not even down to the players. One defeat or poor draw after being well ahead, yes they would be to blame. But LJs record and patterns whilst in a job are shockingly poor. It's sad because today I left the "we've done well but ran out of steam, let's see what next season brings", and joined the LJ out camp. God knows what will happen in the summer recrecruitnent and then into the season beyond....yet more cash rich clubs coming down next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I half agree with this though maybe take Fam off as well. Could push Bryan up and keep Reid central to close down. Or bring Taylor on to help close down defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonGreat Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Sorry, but both Johnson and the players have been a shambles since Christmas. Never mind the cup run and the early-season promise, I genuinely feel let down by this season. The sad thing is, in years to come people will talk about beating Man United, and no doubt it'll get a place on the wall in the concourse. But that's just it - all 'little' Bristol City ever get to celebrate are one-off moments of glory. Some people still bang on about beating Liverpool 24 years ago, for goodness sake. If the overpaid players actually had some stamina rather than performing for half a season, the United win would've been a sideshow, not the season's defining moment.

Tom Fleuriot Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 The weird thing is that in the first half of the season, his game management was good. But since January he's gone back to the poor run last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not so sure. We were still going gung ho for a 5th when Brownhill had come on and that left huge gaps that Hull used to their advantage.

Gert Mare Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 He is going nowhere. The ground is fortress Lansdown. The Football club and Rugby etc are all toys to be played with. There is a plan and LJ is the puppet. The fans are the customers and will come back whatever. That is pretty much it in a nutshell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Today was same as sunderland and Leeds games when they got within a goal it was so obvious what was going to happen. Any pressure and they crumble pathetically. Need mentally strong players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
