Fordy62 Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 To quote Lee Johnson; “I thought we were excellent after their first and before their second goals... and if you take their 4 goals away, we technically won the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things do not change for next season he will be able to get round to all our fans, sit in empty seats next to them and remind them what he said. Oh and even if this takes the whole 90 minutes it will still be 2-1 Millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. I'd give him applause for calling half our frauds out correctly and having the pride in his profession to have a go at other so called professional who have downed tools. Its just an honest assessment. Hard to get upset about it, moreso when it's so accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 I’d love to know what Nige has had to say to some of them. Let’s face it, when this started with Holden in charge we were all saying - a Nigel Pearson type manager wouldn’t stand for this. Well, he has stood for it, what could he do?

Mendip City Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 I’ve never heard a pro footballer make comments like that. It’s so true and so damning. Here’s the problem... Millwall have two goalkeepers who show more professional pride than our entire squad. This guy obviously wouldn’t put up with being in a changing room with our lot and Frankie Fielding must see City as unrecognisable from strong team unit Cotts built. NP needs to get 5 or 6 strong characters into the squad to turn the tide. Hopefully force the rest to up their game.... or at least support the young uns.

Bristol City have struggled against physical sides and our aim was to get the ball forward early and win the second balls. "I took a gamble after our defeat at Middlesbrough and highlighted what I saw as a lack of honesty in the performance. That was totally unlike us and the players responded perfectly. "When we work as hard as we did, we are a very tough team to beat. Of course, there is massive relief after so long without a win, but they weren't all poor performances."

To be honest, if a comment like this actually helps the players face up to their contribution over recent months, I think many fans will not only remember this but want to shake his hand and say thank you for being so direct about how other professionals see the club.

xerox6060 Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 A real shocker on our players, well behind Big Nige's appointment, but I'm struggling to get my head around how poor we've been under him, usually players rise to the challenge of a new guy at least a bit, especially someone of such experience and stature (unless they all hate him I suppose!)

Bazooka Joe Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 3 hours ago, Nuno Gomes said: The last game, Bristol were gone, they looked like they wanted to go on holidays already. They didn’t care, I’m sorry. I think they were the worst team we’ve played against this season. They’ve got decent players and a decent squad. Sometimes it’s hard. I’m not saying it’s easy for us to play every single game with that mentality. "wanted to go on holidays"? "they didn't care"? Wass he talking about? Absolute rubbish! It was touch and go throughout the game. It could easily have gone our way. We only lost 4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyotib Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 I actually think it’s quiet refreshing and a honest opinion hearing that from a opposition player.

spudski Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 2 hours ago, Supersonic Robin said: Very concerning considering the source. This isn't the opinion of a fan, or even a pundit. This is from a professional athlete who was down there against us to see and hear everything our lot did. Pretty much as damning as it gets. My thoughts exactly. From a fellow pro that's damning. Forget fans opinions...from a fellow pro that is the worst you can hear. Partner that with Rowet's simple physical game plan against us...even more damning. A lot of players simply couldn't give a damn. I don't understand any of our fans getting upset by this...this is exactly what we want to hear from fellow professional's. They judge as players not fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 It amazes me that one or two are offended by the comments. He’s only saying what 99% of us have known for months. He’s right, as it stands we are without a shadow of a doubt the worst side in the division and let’s be fair he will know better than any of us if our players gave a shit or not on Saturday. It’s a ringing endorsement that the fans can see what’s going on as much as the pro’s mark us all down as clueless. The fact he went on to say we’ve got a decent squad tells you he expected more than the pathetic effort we served up. If one or two of our wasters steal a contract from another Championship club I’ll remember their efforts next time they visit the Gate a lot more than a truthful comment from a Millwall goalkeeper.
