Not a great price I know as the bookies know we have little chance. We could try the Big Sam 10-0-0 approach ? There is no free money in football, although I AM tempted to heed your advice.

Keepers Ball Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 9 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: Too many seem afraid to criticise an Owner who has pumped shitloads of money into a club he now has 99.99% control of including the stadium and everything else, whilst making the same mistakes for 20 odd years. Apparently it’s ungrateful. Whilst the Rugby Club is at its highest stock for god knows how long the football supporters have to put up with turgid shit year after year. And we are talking YEARS of it now. Go to Ashton Gate Stadium Twitter “the home of Bristol Bears and Bristol City FC”........... I don’t demand Premiership football like some, it would be nice to just turn up at Ashton Gate or watch on the tv and ENJOY more games than not, that’s all. It really isn’t Dean Holden’s fault what is happening at the Gate. But there’s none so blind as them that won’t see. I've been saying the very same ever since the stadium was upgraded and had the very same "I should be grateful". Bollocks. Ashton Gate is no longer ours, its no longer a football stadium, the identity of our club within it has been diluted and the last time i looked, I have to pay for the privilege to watch my team play. So No. There is nothing I should be grateful for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I understand we have injuries and we are playing 3 times a week, but so is everyone else right now. What we severely lack is dynamism. Strength combined with speed, which most successful sides have right now. Our team seriously need to hit the gym, it's no wonder we get so many injuries, they're soft as **** Power and speed .......been saying it for years......while LJ was packing our squad with lightweight drawfs. Why Lansdown does not apply the principles learnt in rugby to the football is beyond me. It was clear that Bristol would not stand a chance when they were promoted to the Premiership as the game had advanced light years at that level from the last time Bristol were there. Having watched Exeter, power and speed were the key attributes. Bristol failed badly and were relegated. Came back, top quality coach built a squad of power players, fit and fast. Success. It’s not that difficult Steve, it’s really not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than rip into players, we say ‘jolly good effort, unlucky’. It develops a mentality like Bakinson’s, lazy and sloppy. Watch the Leeds game. Player misplaced a pass, he ran like his life depended on it to win it back. Everybody was sprinting, not trotting or walking about, just to find space. Most attacks, within seconds of the ball being in the oppositions final third, 7-8 Leeds players sprinting into that final third of the pitch. You don’t need to spend £100 millions to create a Leeds-like ethos......just get players with the right DNA and create a TEAM. Fundamentally though you need a manager that players RESPECT and FEAR. Old school maybe, but this ‘everyone’s a winner’ type mentality of the new school creates limp-wristed losers who think they can just turn up and demand undeserved rewards. Leeds show how to play the game of the 2020’s. It’s not some half-baked Barcelona of the 90’s effort that our FA coaches and LJ read from FA manuals. Pathetic. There’s a lot of truth in this. Our players are overcoached and we try and score the perfect goal. There is virtually zero passion and our players do nothing instinctively- Fam’s goal at the weekend a rare exception. It’s all about attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Losing always hurts and being unsatisfied with some performances is normal...but I don't blame Holden and the players right now, simply because I don't think that other managers/players would do much better with 10+ injuries and a set of fixtures that rarely leaves some rest. Surely the team has much work to do, and I still have doubts about Holden and some players too...but I think that until we'll get some key players back we won't know how much the team can offer. That being said...the trend is worrying: I hope that recalling some loanees will give us a temporary help while waiting for Baker,Mawson,Pato,Walsh & co. because otherwise our position could become really bad...

Make mistake after mistake and totally escape scrutiny. It’s shocking to put Holden in the position of being his fall guy tbh. But he’ll be full of bluster and bollocks when it’s finally time to sell season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all you bed wetters wanting a change of manager just have a think about the three total clowns who will be choosing. The Owner wants a yes man, the son is clueless and Ashton does exactly what Stevie Boy tells him he’ll do. Thats where our Business Model of the club being Steve Lansdown’s plaything for 20 odd years has got us. You can all wet the bed about Dean Holden instead whilst the true culprits for our predicament answer to no ducker.

stephenkibby. Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Well listening to Deans interview it was a throw back to Johnson. We played well had chances deserved the win, even a bumpy pitch came up. Now for sure not all his fault he was handed the poisioned chalice by the man at the top. Were in shit street and if not for those first four games we would be now looking at the teams below us and worrying. As it is another 15 points will keep us up. For me the rest of the season will be dead,can't go up can't go down. Now i know a lot will be happy with that but going as we are next season will be the same. Seems to me were the new Coventry on a football level never look like going up or going down. Boring as ****. Until it catches up with us and there's only one way that ends.

That's what the players said at the start of the season it's alright being likeable but you have to be unlikeable at somepoint but be unlikeable in the right way,I just don't see Holden as management material.

Taz Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 3 hours ago, Son of Fred said: Couldn't strike a match. He's an advanced midfielder of some description at best. If Fam isn't fit enough to start, then you play a different system and just go with the two up top, rather than fit Semenyo in at the top end. I may be coming across as anti Semenyo, which I'm not. He's a decent player, just not in that position, and we're not going to win promotion with him as a regular first 11 player. Harsh but true, and I'd love to be proved wrong on that.
