And Its Smith Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 A lot of fans need to start getting behind the players a bit more. Everyone was happy with mid table or top 8. We are 6th and there are boos at the end of the last 4 halves of football we have played. Certain posters give very little praise for good performances but apparently when we lose players like Weimann and Pato are a disgrace! We are 6th. Try to support the lads a bit yes.

CotswoldRed Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 The problem with your argument is it forgives/overlookw utterly abject performances. Tonight's performance wouldn't be acceptable if we were 24th and cut adrift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Our home performances have been pretty shite all season. That's what people see, what they pay for. If I'd had only watched city at home this season I wouldn't say we where a tip half team. Out of interest where are we in the league if you only count home games?

People do support the lads a full house on Saturday and a biggish crowd tonight. People come on here to moan. Rightly so. That was truly awful and if our team had served that up twice in a row in the conference they would have a right to moan too. Abject performances as Cotswold says are not trade offs. That was utter garbage of the highest order and we all know it sorry super that was not aimed at you I replied to you in error! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 We are extremely leggy . Not good at playing under pressure . Overachieving. As a spectacle the last two games have been poor. How many games in the unbeaten run where great on the eye ? Spoke to Don Goodman after the game and he said the Gate was normally rocking, where was the atmosphere to help push the team, the Dons words not mine .

A poor performance on the back of poor performances in the last month. It actually it was more than poor tonight it was abject. We are running out steam again and I feel most people are frustrated by that , so fans at the end gave a honest reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zod Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Shocking tonight. I wanted LJ to show that lessons were learned from last season and that he has worked out a way of getting his teams out of a slump. Tonight was the perfect opportunity. Evidence would suggest he hasn’t learnt from last years collapse . I’m fickle and can put up with poor performances or at least forget them if we are winning. The last few games, performances have been way short of what is expected. LJ needs to find away to turn this round, start picking up the 3 points again and proves he’s evolving as a manager. What’s wrong with the mental toughness of the teams LJ build that they can’t dig themselves out of bad runs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t boo but I don’t stupidly defend the indefensible either. Tonight was awful, you dress it up any way you like. Bar 15 minutes we were a very distant second best to a side already relegated in effect. Patterson has had a good spell thats for sure but tonight he was abysmal, I cannot possibly see how anyone can argue with that. Weimann was completely out of the game. Elliason played about an hour on the wrong sodding side of the pitch!! Whether we finish 1st or 21st there is no defence for that tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without wanting this to come across as a swipe... Someone rang BBC Bristol tonight and made a similar point, he said our fans would’ve been happy with midtable so why are they booing us in 6th? Now I’m not suggesting a season in midtable would’ve been a disaster but why would anyone be happy with mediocrity? Do you really pay your 300 odd quid a season because of the potentially excitement of our season being dead 6 months into it? I think our home fans have a right to voice their discontent, the shite we’ve served up at The Gate this season has been nothing short of pathetic.

CityCiderEd Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 When we got back into the game after the first 30 minutes I thought that with the goal we would pick up the pace and really go at them in the second half. In fact the exact opposite happened and we reverted to our poor start and they dominated us. I would have been happy with a scrappy 1-0 win but really peed off at the way we seemed to let them make us look like the team at the bottom of the league....

Like the two January transfer windows we’ve had in the last two seasons it’s yet again a massive case of ‘what if’ at the moment. Just a few more points and we’d be flying. Maybe booing is out of order (don’t do it myself) but you pays your money etc. And we’ve been served tripe at home this season. Still fighting though, still in with a chance and 6th as it stands is undoubtedly a fantastic result this far, but home form needs an almighty bastarding jolt from somewhere if we are to have any chance at all of top 6. Still hope....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem lies, to an extent, that he treats the players like teammates - they aren’t , and he is still part of the team in his head. Is that an age thing? I don’t know, but I find it strange that he stopped playing at an age where he could have carried on - notwithstanding injury. We are running out of steam, we won’t make the top six, Saturday was woeful, tonight was abject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feeblest performance at AG this season, coming on the heels of several other nearly as bad displays. If we play like tonight for the remaining 10 games then we'll be lucky to finish in the top half. I didn't boo, but I think anyone who paid money to freeze their nuts off and see us look non-league standard for all but about 30 minutes, is well within their rights to do so.

Within their rights to do so, sure, but don't be disappointed if the booing produces more of the same from the team: dreary, uninspired performances.

1960maaan Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Does anyone boo the League position? Abject performance, even our spell on top we were little better than ok. Add the fact that LJ stood and watched , when everyone was calling for change. He was probably the only one who didn’t see their goal coming. Even when they scored there was no urgency from the bench, and that was matched on the pitch. i don’t boo, I understand why people did last night.

Whats wrong with you? When we play shite it's always a dig at the fans. Maybe open your eyes and accept the fact that drawing against a team that has won 3 games all season when we are at home is not really very good. You spout the same shite every game when we perform poorly to get a bite. Jolly good. We are awesome and drawing 1-1 against bottom of the league ITFC is progress. The fans are crap. LJ is awesome. The players gave 100% and we were desperately unlucky You are the bestest superest poster on the forum - I bow to you. Happy?
