Wolf Island Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 This is not a LJ hate or love-fest. Just a simple query - how long do you think SL will give if form from last season carries over? The bar in the Championship has been raised yet again with managerial appointments and money spent on players. Can City compete with LJ at the helm? SL is clearly invested in LJ but surely patience is finite. Will he look elsewhere before the clocks go back if we are in the bottom third of the table? IMO LJ can succeed at City but confidence amongst fans and players is brittle and can’t survive an extended poor run of form in the first block of ten games. Time to step up wee man.

Rob k Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 LJ is a man under no pressure - he can only work with the tools given to him and whilst he’s willing to be a part of this philosophy his job is safe and so it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 He's under no pressure, draw against the big spenders this summer. We could finish 15th and he'd still be under no pressure next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 On Radio Bristol before the game SL said the aim for this season is to finish higher than last season (11th). He did go on to say that he addressed the squad this morning and told them he "wasn't getting any younger" and wanted to see the club promoted to the Premier League sooner rather than later. He said to 20man that there was no great pressure for it to happen this season and if it didn't then he would look to the season after. Nothing firm but possibly an indication that LJ has a couple of seasons to get us there. He's under no pressure this season I would suggest, unless we end up in a relegation battle.

Whilst it's true that we have had poor runs under LJ, we have also had good ones. If we start slowly then i would be expecting us to pick up. 2 minutes ago, Mtimmy11 said: He’s had over 40 tools given to him.cottrill had about 6 FFS. Let it ******* go, Cotteril has gone, get it?

Alex_BCFC Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Thing with LJ is if things are going well, it’s fine but 2 seasons in a row we’ve gone into a spiral and I don’t think LJ knows how to get us out of it. Seems more luck than judgement. If same happens again this season then I think he will be gone. I do like generally the signings made and the business done but question marks on his bounce back ability remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we SHOULD win but they got results v a number of top sides at home from December onwards last year. Won at WBA today too- coupon buster! Don't think they're a good side, more a horrible side to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change would be made in 2018 unless form was terrible and worse than early 2018 I would suggest. I believe it will be irrelevant as this is the best squad we have had for a while - bit lightweight but a lot of talent.
