You can always dislike and distrust a particular board (or manager for that matter) but the 'club' is far bigger than that - to me the club is it's history, your fellow City fans, and supporting the team.

I'd never let a few individuals put me off Bristol City FC.

I appreciate this post, and I will get over it, but its just how I feel at the moment sadly

It's not a ppg, manning is better or Pearson is better for me, I've lost trust in the club and the board, which in turn is making me fall out of love with city

Are we better under manning, no were we better under Pearson no,

Nothing has changed except the lies and the bullshit being spouted from those in charge of the club

Never going to happen 

This isn't the 1980s

There's not enough spare capacity and the tocs wouldn't make money so will never happen unless the railways are renationalised 

That's alot better, not perfect but alot better more of that please city and I will be happier

Pearson lucky to get a 3 year deal and did f all with it - glad he’s gone and someone else will get the pennies.

You are a moron if you think that

Seems to me saying it is early days is similar to comments made at Pompeii when Vesuvius first began to throw ash down on the city.

We don’t need months to come to judgement.  Sadly LM is self evidently out of his depth in this league

Personally I think this will go the way of GJ’s leaving, ie he will lose the dressing room - modern day footballers are not like those of the Fifties and Sixties.  Most, if not all,  of them are professionals in every way, and will not expect one man to ruin their own personal goals for their career.

Belt up for a rough ride

The openly critical comment on commentary from 2 senior players tells us the dressing room aren't backing him

3.5 year contract. Paying him out would be very very pricey, and a catastrophic waste of money. Not an option for me.

Relegation is? Because that is where this is leading

Not sure what's worse, the performance or the ****s on here revelling in it.

No one is revelling in it, most are ******* angry at the board

And people wanted Pearson gone.......

I've not seen anything this bad since o'dismal

That's better,

This is where manning proves his worth,

We should also revert back to pearsons style until we actually have the players in to play how he wants

But the system is clearly working isn’t it. Look how much space we created. They’re playing a full block. Know idea what’s happened to Tommy, but we’re creating, and that’s the point isn’t it. The facts are, unfortunately, the tactics are clearly right, but some of the players arent good enough. It’s as simple as that. 

How is it working? We have won 1 game using it,

Missed the first half, now listening to the second half on the radio.

Owers said were the better side but on here it seems dreadful, which is it?

We were good for 20 minutes then dogshit for 25 minutes

The boys in the team deserve our support.   Not their fault we’re being run by ******* clowns. 

True, they aren't bad players just lacking confidence and self belief,

Something the previous manager gave them

How many bad results before it gets ugly for Tinnion and Lansdowns?

I could see Tinnion resigning

0, it's already ugly for them

I take a break from the forum and this thread grows by 500 pages

Love it

Manning is on a hiding to nothing and set up to fail by the board,

I feel bad for him, 

Far to early to be asking this question

I find it jarring too. 

I always thought they would just use the ground, but in recent times it feels like we absolutely share Ashton Gate. I’ve even heard Bears fans refer to it as theirs. 

I wonder if this is common with other football clubs who have rugby clubs that use their stadiums? 

There is bears stuff on one stand and city related stuff on 3, like it or not it's a shared stadium

I get the feeling the club are more focussed on getting online sales rather than F2F sales

Majority of business is done online these days, it's why businesses with a poor online presence have been going under

Tommy isn't a lone striker, none of our strikers can do that role,

It's stupid yo set up with a lone striker, you should play to your players strengths and we are not doing that,

The players look confused and scared of trying anything and that comes from the head coach, we've already noticed the difference in vyner, I feel more will follow suit,

That isn't mannings fault, but at this level we can't afford to implement a new style of play halfway through a season which is why the sacking of Pearson has pissed so many people off,

The slow predictable football is causing the lack of atmosphere, and the obsession with keeping possession does not win you games

If this mess isn't sorted out quickly then we will be worrying what the bottom 3 are doing not waiting for tinnion to rejoin twitter to gloat

Another week where our front line looks inept

Our forward options are weak. A striker that can score has to be the top priority 

For a striker to score the ball is needed to be played to them, that is a bit hard when 900 passes are made between the back 4

Semantics.  The point is we didn’t produce him. 

Yes we did, he came into our academy,

And he graduated through various age groups there,

I don’t get that impression in the slightest. Everyone looks motivated and ready to go to me. 

You can't of been to ashton gate then, they look like rabbits in headlights confused and not knowing what to do

Looked pretty clear Weimann was asked to get closer to Conway in attack which is why he was tucked in so much. Looked like our cms were asked to spread wide with the ball to create overloads out wide. Those are two tweaks off the top of the head without thinking too much.
 

We were comfortable the entire game. Unlucky OG which is dealt with probably more often than not. And Vyner switched off once after 94.5 minutes. Otherwise comfortable. They had the quality to punish us. We don’t have that quality which is why they were in the game at all. 

Thanks Jon,

But lack of quality? You told us we had a top 6 squad
