A refreshing change from watching dour, lifeless, tactically inept football. Big Sam - he was an England manager I'll have you know. I used to hate them, but they are so much fun to watch. I love it when Leeds are on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 You happy clappers on here need to wake up to what is happening to this club. We are a club in deep trouble currently.

Dredd Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 A mixture of things has completely killed off my enjoyment of watching football. Not being able to go to the stadium with friends and have a few beers was sht enough. Watching it through Robins TV was a novelty at first but it really strips the product back to its basics and being honest it’s become a chore. It’s boring, uninspiring, dull football. Essentially I’m locked up in my house paying a tenner for some entertainment and it now just feels like a sense of obligation rather than something to look forward to. So I’ll be honest. I’ve stopped watching. I haven’t paid for a game since Rotherham and I’ve just saved the money and found something else to do. I genuinely question if I will get a season ticket next year (if even possible) as I’m sadly not missing it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Early stages of the season, we were showing some promise. Could be argued up to Matchday 8 first half in Bournemouth away, or maybe even the Huddersfield away comeback win. Precious little since then however! 2nd half v Watford maybe, Blackburn at home had good things but really not much post arguably Huddersfield away.

See Sheffield Wednesday in particular (win tonight aside) and to varying levels, Derby and Nottingham Forest. I've resigned myself to a bit of a nothing season this year,but lots of players of contract means there is a chance if required for an overhaul this summer.

We have had more overhauls, then players sold, then “bargain buys”, than most. There is no stability in the club, no figure head running the club with a clear direction, As soon as we have a bright light talented player, we sell them.

We won’t go anywhere this season due to injuries. The jury will be out on Holden when he has some proper players to rotate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I have watched every game since football returned but did not bother Boxing Day after disappointment of going to tier 3 (after securing tickets) and did not bother tonight. Really not missing it which is, in truth, a tad upsetting as I never thought I would get to the point where I could take it or leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t say we’ve been stable on the pitch, we’ve lost key members of the squad every season that we’ve struggled to replace. Can’t build a team if the core keeps getting changed. You can’t force players like Brownhill or Webster to stay when they want premier league football but they need to believe they can achieve that with city rather than via city. Whilst injuries are an excuse, they don’t forgive basic mistakes such as the dreadful defending for Luton’s first. That’s nothing to do with injuries, Kalas (one of the few decent players we’ve currently got fit) failed to do the basics. That’s down to coaching.

Let's hope a new trend emerges quickly to usurp this soul destroying possession crap. Too many self obsessed coaches who overthink the game and talk too much, somehow believing their 'cleverness' to be the attraction rather than the product on the pitch, which seems to get duller by the season. I'm afraid we had a prime example at AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFree Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 As a ST holder of three decades, I’ll be honest - I haven’t paid a penny to watch City this season and haven’t missed it one bit. I’ve been bored for a long time now and only renew my ST out of loyalty to MY club. I have watched us on sky etc but that’s it. Sad but true..

bristolcitysweden Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 The work rate is not there. Fellowship is not there. Small little things that is the base for some kind enjoyment. You might not like each other but don't look like you hate each other. After all. You are a bunch of overpaid children that should try to get a job.

42nite Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 The last game that I really, really enjoyed being part of amongst a totally hostile City crowd was the return game with Swindon after they had already won the title in November. What a game and atmosphere! Rounded off by Flinty's interview. (I was at their place as well, I did not enjoy that! But that wasn't City's fault. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
