Alan Dicks Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 If he losses 4 on the trot again he will be a 70 percenter again, a very odd manager Lee Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isawjonshaw Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 We are football fans! We have every right to be fickle! I do find the moaning about being under the cosh for the last 15 odd! I’d take a 1-0 undeserving win all day long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I voted in, as I have done on every poll on the subject. But is there any need for this? Can't we just enjoy the victory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Somerset Red Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I've always been strongly on the fence about Johnson but his latest run of poor form was enough for me, he's too inconstant and i know he's getting results now but for how long? I want to see better performances for a start, because at the moment we are playing some dreadful football. I wouldn't say im out but i don't think he's good enough, i hope he proves me wrong.

City Rocker Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I voted 'in' last time, and my point was you just knew another winning run was around the corner. No need to be smug about that, it was obvious. The inconsistency needs to be overcome though and LJ must find a way to put the 'streakyness' to bed if we are to progress.

This is the bottom line with LJ. He is so streaky it’s inevitable that you will get such swings in support for him. It would be the same were he doing this at any other club.

Ska Junkie Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Given he's been backed heavily again during the transfer window, I think he may struggle to survive if we don't make the playoffs. Until the summer, he's bullet proof but I would imagine failure to make the top 6 would leave his job hanging by a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiled Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 The three January incoming players mean there's now no excuse to finish outside the top 6. Delighted to see the team strengthened but this should be LJ's last chance. Season on season progress is all well and good but we have a squad that should now be top 2 let alone top 6. Brentford aside this is a mediocre season. I'll certainly give him until May but let's not accept anything less than play-offs. I don't like LJ's habit of throwing young players under the bus and I'm mystified why Taylor Moore has been sent to frigging Blackpool. It's been great to win 5 out 6 recent games but I still haven't seen a convincing victory in that sequence. I don't personally care about promotion but if that is Lansdown's stated aim then this is easily the best chance since Gary Johnson took us to Wembley.

Dastardly and Muttley Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I said out. I’m still not sure on the overall design and plan for the team. We seem to be building a squad built for a formation that can’t accommodate our (arguably) best player, Eliasson. I’m not sold on the overall project and think that, if we did go up, we may end up embarrassing ourselves. I’m less out than I was, but the pressure is really on LJ to deliver now the squad’s been strengthened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I’d rather someone else were our manager. But we played alright today. We just need to sort out the shite at home. I only ask that we’re not shit. Today we weren’t and I’m pleased and I’m please for Johnson too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Happy to say I’m back to Johnson in for now, but with reservations. I’ve been floating between the two sides of the line for a while but recent results, transfer business and league position are enough to keep me onside for now.

Chairman Mao Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 City fans need to get their head examined. Being in the top half is not a devine right and Johnson has turned us into exactly that, a top half Championship club. Aside from a decade under Alan Dicks and two seasons with GJ we haven't been able to say that since pre WW1. Get some perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s an issue of divine right or perspective, at least not for all of us. It’s simply a question of right here, right now, are we maximising our potential - irrespective of our history.

sticks 1969 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Absolute joke of a tread we have just won our last 5 out of 6 games had a good January window and got a new training ground coming out the ground and still we get a tread about Johnson in it out? What more do people want ? Beyond belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanburyRed Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Really? 50pts, 4 wins in a row, no goals conceded, 6th in the table. And a vote is up for LJ in or out? Jeez.

winsaw Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Think that this vote just shows everyone here is a normal football fan, the manager wins 4 in a row people are behind him if he goes and lose 4 in a row the vote will be totally different to hiw it is now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Like all our fans I want Johnson to lead City into the Premier League and be up there with Thickitt and Dicks. However, that doesn't stop me from calling games as I see them. The great thing about this transfer window is that we appear to have recruited a stronger spine, in Benkovich and Henriksen, plus a top goalscorer. We now have all the tools to get those 8 wins required for the play-offs. City in. Johnson, keep up the good work and you'll be a great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous that fans change their mind that quickly. Thank god for an intelligent owner who can see LJs qualities and believes he can sort things out when it starts to go wrong.

tunnie12345 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I will admit to changing my mind a few times this season. Even at one point hoping warnock would get the job (looking back it seems silly as he is just another manager who plays awful foodtball but gets results) but it is the experience and managing to see games out, which it looks like Lee may have finally got the hang of! I guess a big reason many people wanted him out early tho is to do with the fact we have often had to sit and wait until it was too late for a manager to be sacked to make any difference on the season. Let's be honest no one wants this club to fail so seems silly point scoring against people who had a different view. Got me thinking today tho I wander if there is any other club in the country who's chairman and manager have so much personal love for the club they are working at. If we do get to the prem and manage to consolidate there. There will be a lot of fans and clubs looking to emulate what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 This is a pointless survey, just like the last one. It just goes to show that, with a massive swing from 70% out to 85% in that there is a reason fans don’t make these decisions, because we’re too emotional. Why can’t, once and for all, on either side of the in/out argument we just acknowledge that we will have peaks and troughs, ups and downs. It’s rarely all up or all down. It’s pointless every 10 games or so having this same conversation. LJ is here till the summer, why don’t we just get behind the team and chat again in June.

I wanted Neil Warnock in but that moment has gone. Alea iacta est. I imagine the recruitment is the same as it’s always been - not just down to LJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
