Bob Thompson Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Coaches and managers change frequently and yes it is a win or the sack culture. The policies are set by the board. We ,rather like Bournemouth ,have talented squad and good coaches. Thanks to Klopp and Pep we are seeing a more fluid type of football with young players. Sometimes form and confidence suffers. City are in transition, please don’t go back to whack it down the Channels. Stick with LJ and modern football it will come good soon.Always believe.

ChippenhamRed Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 What modern football? What reason do we have to think it will “come good soon”? Why are we in “transition” after 5 years in the same division with the same coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueredsupporter Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 City do whack it. Quite a lot. Due to David in goal they are not hitting the Dolman channel so much as they did with Frank. There is a big un trying to work out what this modern (identity) football is down the page.

Cardy Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Winning football please. I am happy to accept whichever style that is if it allows us to grow an identity & actually achieve something tangible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious questions being how long and how many transitions does one Head Coach need? We are literally Hoof Ball one week, decent football the next and decent football in our defensive third then hoof it the next...... That doesn’t look like a team in some sort of planned transition to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you’re in the habit of wining or have reached your target you can think about refining things. Worst of both worlds right now - poor football AND not winning.

bcfcredandwhite Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I want to win. Long ‘hoof’ ball is ok if we win ’Pretty’ football but losing isn’t my thing. ‘Pretty’ football AND winning is the ultimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the ‘wise ones’ on here have always rejected out of hand any manager mentioned who is very successful at this level by adopting a more streetwise, robust and direct approach, regardless of the great results they deliver - time and again they’ve said ‘it’s a no from me’ and slagged off proper, successful guys - i’m not saying it’s you at all but I was waiting for the whining to really start and the clamour for Warnock to begin - and now it has! Makes I laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Football that is played with passion, drive, excitement, the odd mistake here or there, but players that are brave and willing to try everything to win. Football players should be like lions on the pitch, and thump their chests with pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 The ideal is winning with style. However, even sides that achieve that have their off days when they just grind out the win. And with a nine month season, it is impossible to perform perfectly all the time, so just some of the time will do. So let's start with winning at home and sending us home in a happy mood. The flowing football on the billiard table that is the Ashton Gate pitch can develop as we progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Quite a few saying winning football. Yes we all want that, but in reality only the likes of Liverpool , Man City etc have winning football. i want us to have something sustainable. I want opposition fans to say oh Bristol City , they play some lovely stuff as people do about Brentford , Swansea , Brighton , Bournemouth . A academy that plays the same as well and for it to become a proper identity ( not LJ’s version whatever that is ) Yes we want to get promoted but , let’s be honest , you don’t do that with a disjointed squad and team set up. If someone said. We’ll set up a philosophy as mentioned above but it’ll take a couple of seasons to implement and realistically you won’t be looking at promotion for at least 5 years , I’d happily take that . I want our football to be something to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I don't care about us looking pretty but I do care about pressure, intensity and creating chances. I think the two things that stick out on the tactical analysis above are that we play long balls AND play the ball around in our own half. Even if you belief long ball tactics are an effective tactic, the whole 'philosophy' behind the long ball game is to get the ball forward as quickly as possible to catch out the opposing team. The reality is we get the ball, pass it around a bit until the opposition have a chance to organise themselves and then hoof it down the pitch once there is little possibility of a scoring chance. Little wonder we never create anything. I don't expect us to suddenly play tika taka - and I'm not sure I even want us to - but a strategy that was a bit less self-defeating would be nice.

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Consistent football, I would like. To use today's terminology, get an identity and stick to it. Recruit players to fit that identity, look where clubs like Sheffield United have got to by sticking with an identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I’d like the high press type football we had in the cup run year. Just something that remotely looks like we are trying to get the ball back rather than the current laboured sh1te being served up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 The first thing that I want is a hard working team. I dont want players crying off with a broken toenail in huge games. That's the absolute minimum for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstart Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'd like to see 11 guys on that pitch playing as a team, not a bunch of individuals, playing with passion for the shirt and the badge. Basically something other than what we, the fans, are currently forced to endure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times, in fact a lot of the time of late we are starting to resemble O’Driscoll’s City before he was sacked. Flint to Moloney, back to Flint, then across to Cunningham, then back. Whilst that is happening, Baldock had made 15 runs and the opposition now had all 11 behind the ball. At that point Flint would launch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
