Ivorguy Posted August 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. Some replies deserved serious consideration, others seemed to have misunderstood the basis of the thread and others’ comments, some were optimistic, some pessimistic. To all thanks. Let’s hope for a better finish this season than last. COYR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say our line up was Championship material either. It wasn't a criticism of Cov, more a 'don't get carried away' comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even played a player who some said should never play for us again. We beat what was in front of us so let’s just enjoy the moment. The next excuse for negativity will be along soon I’m sure. We are Bristol City after all ! Wasn't aiming to be negative per sé. We were the better of two teams. Just no need to get carried away with the result and performance against a team of cones in the first half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just a step in the right direction, and a nice boost that shows the players at the club are capable of those types of performances. Great to see that we can make 5 changes and have players challenge for places. All players who can into the side made an impact and put themselves in the frame for the Wigan game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the 2 teams last night WBA and Watford either would blow us away at the moment and both are likely to be in a different league than us next season. Then look at the games coming this month Wigan, Luton, Cardiff, Blackpool, Hudders, wouldnt bet on us getting 2 or 3 points from the lot; past that hmmmm, Sept brings Blackburn, Preston, Norwich and Burnley...we should all be worried. Cant see where the wins or any win is coming from, add that to the fact that if any sort of bid that comes in for any of our top players they are gone, We seem very weak atm on and off the pitch, if we do manage a few points somehow, likely we could well get points deduction, if you are not worried you should be we will be doing very well to stay in this div this season. NP seems very "dull" and needs a bit of bounce around the ground injecting, I`d bring back double winning SC myself, not gonna happen with SL here. So would love us to be midtable at least this year, cant see it though...worried, very worried. Agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An owner saying he wants out having failed in his declared objective for over a quarter of a century Many fans wanting manager out Too small a squad at this level Best players may yet leave, even worst players leaving could leave unfillable gaps in squad Possible points deduction still on the horizon. Supporting City has, over my 8 decades as a fan, never been easy but the present cup of woe does seem very worrying indeed. We could be the driver of an articulated lorry, We could be a poet, we wouldn't need to worry, We could be a teacher in a classroom full of scholars, We could (possibly) survive by selling Weimann for a bucket full of dollars On 09/08/2022 at 12:30, Ivorguy said: What a mess I could do what Nige does with strategems and ruses I could be the physio, licking all our bruises I could be an inmate in a long-term institution I could see us Tuesday having difficulty with Luton On 09/08/2022 at 12:30, Ivorguy said: What a mess On 09/08/2022 at 12:30, Ivorguy said: What a mess On 09/08/2022 at 12:30, Ivorguy said: What a mess What a mess!
