Lanterne Rouge Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 That is how to hit a team on the break. Baggies go 2 up from a move that started from an Ipswich corner. Superb counterattacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC11 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hope I’m totally wrong but feel a heavy defeat tomorrow, followed by an under par performance v Ipswich ending in a narrow defeat, again I hope I’m wrong but if it happens SL will be under serious pressure to relieve LJ of his duties.

Leeds are such a high energy team and we have become somewhat ponderous so I wouldn't be surprised if we got steamrollered. In which case a defeat at Ipswich for a demoralised team might well follow. Difficult to feel optimistic right now isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Unfortunately I think the pessimism is founded. Leeds team, even with all the injuries; is full of quality and energy; something we have lacked. We need a 4 3 3/ 4 5 1 to compete. But Johnson will no doubt play a 4 4 2 and we will be over run; or 3 5 2 and they will better us with a front 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 While J Mac`s view is that 6pts from play offs (that is true but it assumes every one above will lose while we win) we are also 6pts from relegation zone (which also assumes teams below us will win while we lose) given our recent efforts and up coming games, it is more likely that any movement we make will be towards the bottom six rather than the top six. We have a poor strike force, non existing middle and dodgey defence, oh and a manager who makes it up as he goes along but needs to find a winning team who will battle every second and quick....like today. Hope for a draw but expect a pounding and excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure SL and the club are aware a large amount of season ticket holders aren’t even attending anymore due to the absolute garbage being served up by LJ and his players.. I personally won’t be going again until he’s gone, can’t bear how unbelievably terrible we are, it’s a day or evening wasted more often than not... That is not entertainment!!!

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I start a thread admiring a move by WBA in a televised match and it`s immediately hijacked by all the usual suspects. I swear to God someone could start a thread about the 1966 World Cup win and it would be about three posts before someone says `we`d never have won it if Johnson was in charge`. There are plenty of threads for you to have your say on the current state of BCFC. Any chance you could stick to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what is ‘saving’ us at the moment is that we are in touch with ‘big name’ teams like Villa, Stoke, SheffWeds who are finding themselves in much the same position. We got to get a few results to pull away from being sucked into the Rotterham, Reading, Millwall type teams or Jamie Mac’s calming words may not be so convincing.

Well we have managed 1pt so far from 2 of those "type teams" and will soon be looking to improve on that v Ipswich (rock bottom) and Millwall, I wont be betting much on that happening though. Believe it or not I really hope we go on a record breaking winning run but think we have neither the players/manager or ambition for that to happen....just yet.

There are plenty of threads for you to have your say on the current state of BCFC. Any chance you could stick to them? That's because Bristol City F.C. are uppermost in our minds and if the performances of other Championship sides are highlighted on here comparisons with our club will always be made. We'd like to see some 'superb counter attacking' too!

Average coach on the training field perhaps - although clearly going backwards at present - and motivational capabilities seemingly well below par.
