Same as results, the quality of football fluctuates throughout the season. Just think people are too quick to lose interest and if they do now then they clearly haven’t experienced the SOD/MCinnes/Osman days so must be new fans that are extremely naive/fickle?

Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Take the result all day long but Jesus the football is beyond poor. The extra training for crossing and getting bodies into the box was a complete waste of a weeks training. We need personnel in January, a classy midfielder or 2 and a proper striker or 2, I fully understand why Pack keeps his place in the team, there is just no competition for his place, but for the past 12 months Paterson has robbed a living from us and still gets picked all he does is weakens the team and Wiemann has been getting worse and worse. I am hoping that last years January **** up is well and truly behind us, but I am not confident at all, I suspect as I type this post Ashton is scouring the whole planet for another player who had one good season once in his CV and needs a big pay cheque, oops sorry needs the love of LJ, well sorry that love is taken by Paterson LJ has no more left to give.

bcfc01 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Scrappy and low quality game but a great result. How have Birmingham managed to be unbeaten at home since March ? They couldn't string a couple of passes together, nor could we but they were at home and unbeaten, expected more from them. Despite the poor football City defended well and got stuck in and Diedhiou scoring was a nice bit of karma. 7 points from the last 3 games isn't too shabby after the losing run, hopefully it gives the players confidence to play their stuff as they are more than capable of playing good football. They'll need to up the game against Norwich but thats next week, time for a few beers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to lose some matches and we will also win some, some of the posts I’ve seen about people losing interest etc is quite frankly embarrassing. Enjoy the ride ffs Most of the people losing interest I would think , is because of the standard of football. It's not simply about results, at least not only about results. I don't know what's gone or going wrong but they has been a lack of direction/style/focus and , as I said earier , I've never seen so many misplaced passes. The Stoke game, WBA game too , not many saying they'd lost interest. Gave both a real go with plenty of pace and passing. Ipswich and today the polar opposite. It's like we're being managed by my managerial dream team Pulis/Osman/SOD. I'd love to see us really try and knock it about and take the game to Norwich next week, todays result, and the fact that we will be expected to lose , gives us a little bit of freedom to have a go, and I hope they do.

Nogbad the Bad Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Well played City - we never win at Brum, that's a great 3 points Only arrived home in time to hear the stress of a couple of penalty appeals, Brum hit the post, and the great save from Maenpaa from the deflected free kick. Not like City not to concede a late one under such late pressure, luck perhaps on our side but nevertheless a really encouraging win.

But a true fan doesn’t lose interest after a handful of poor performances? I really don’t get it as we have gone months of dire football before so why didn’t hey lose interest then?

Agreed, we have an 11 point cushion and are playing top of the table. No point sitting back, playing a tactical game and losing 2-0 anyway. Perfect opportunity for Johnson to show people he can get the team playing again. Because five more months of Preston/Millwall/Hull performances won’t please anyone.

I really don’t get it as we have gone months of dire football before so why didn’t hey lose interest then? I think we have some new fans after the cup run last season and it’s those that are posted all the stuff about losing interest? Thinking about it, it is a strange one. I really think the football is shockingly poor, and yet 7 points is brilliant. Now during our record breaking run, people got angry but I don't remember many , if any , saying they'd lost interest. During that run, we scored goals and made chances, and conceded shitloads. Those games at Derby,Newcastle etc, but we were in a strange way better to watch. I thin the fact we could score goals gave everyone optimism, and we could be expected to score. Currently we struggle to get shots on goal, Ipswich apart , and the passing, movement and all round football is very poor. I've been going down for getting on 50 years, been to over 100 grounds with City and yet I missed last weeks game. I could have got back if I really pushed it but having been away at a wedding I couldn't be arsed to make the extra effort. Obviously not a true fan. I never used to be able to understand why people stayed away, there are plenty of reasons. A mate has stopped going, he's a STH and went home and away for years, he's pissed off with what has been dished up this season, he'll be back no doubt. Seriously though, result apart, no one can be enjoying watching this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of fans didn't want Johnson, but we all knew he wasn't going anywhere and I would say most fans haven't took his playing days into consideration. My opinion is he has been given plenty of time, and plenty of funds. 12 months ago we were playing some excellent slick one touch passing football - which was entertaining and got us some excellent coverage as a club. We are now playing some terrible stuff that is boring and predictable regardless of results. What is the future plans? Is it hoof ball? Are we suddenly going to go back and try to play passing football? If Johnson hasn't got his "identity" on the way he wants the team to play by now when will he?? People lose interest because there is no entertainment and it isn't enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
