reddogkev Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just getting this in early - no doubt most of us expect City to fall to defeat against Leeds, I bet if you asked ten City fans, at least 8/10 would tip us losing. So it is with this in mind, I say don't get the knives out again for the team or LJ if this does happen. This will be a bloody battle of a game, and if we lose, we should take it on the chin and get ready for Ipswich. What are the chances of calm, rationale thoughts on the back of a defeat at Elland Road? I only ask, as I'll no doubt want to read this forum over the weekend, and don't want to wade through all the doom and gloom again! Anyway, here's hoping you can ignore my words and City grab a classic win, or at least bring back a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Depends how we lose really doesn't it? If it's like Brentford home last season or, god forbid, last time out, then I'd fully expect the knives to be out, and rightly so. If theres a semblance of fight, and even the slightest sign of improvement since PNE, then a bit of balance is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtimmy11 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 He's had nearly 3 years at £400,000 a year to sort his team and his formations out so I think we he needs more time to give us a fighting chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say average, not terrible. 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats in the last 6. WBA were flattered by the final score, though they undoubtedly deserved to win.

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Know people want us to go and have a go- fight and do our best, but tactically their hit and miss form or not, perhaps a counterattacking perhaps even counterpessing 4-3-3 could be a way to go. As the away side we will have more license to do so, rather than at home where we are expected by fans to press high and take the initiative.

pongo88 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 It’s all very well to say a defeat would be OK if it was a good fighting display, but that would be 4 defeats in a row. Based on LJ’s history of presiding over long losing runs, it would be understandable if people had a moan on the forum. I hope City win, but won’t be over excited if we do, as I’d like some long term improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 The reaction will be one of the following: 1. we win convincingly with a great display of football - predicted post: WHY can’t we be consistent? LJ Out! 2. we win with a scrappy awful display with a goal ricocheting in off someone’s backside - predicted post: We are awful and a better side would have beaten us. We are doomed. LJ out! we play well but draw - see first comment we play badly but draw - see second comment we play well and lose - see first comment we play badly and lose - see second comment game called off/postponed/abandoned - predicted post: it just delayed the inevitable. LJ Out we win all our remaining games and romp the league - predicted post: Well, so he should after all the investment he has had. Cotts wasn’t backed like Lee has been. Anyway he won’t be able to hack it in the Prem so LJ Out.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
