  1. Maybe they should never have got rid of Tony Mowbray (their version of Nigel Pearson) In the first place and they wouldn't of had to make more managerial changes?
  2. I wouldn't say our fanbase is fickle, at all actually. We're a mid tier club in terms of English football. We have very similar sized clubs around us in the League (Preston, Cardiff, Swansea, Millwall, QPR, Huddersfield, Hull) who have all in the last 20-30 years tasted some kind of success by reaching cup finals or the top flight. We've come close just the once in that time. During this time we have seen a handful of clubs surpass us in the Leagues and reach the top flight and prolong their stay there, whilst we bumble around the two middle divisions, doing not a lot. If we are fickle it is because this club is starved of any kind of success, for god sake we commemorate matches in the FA Cup 5th round from 50 years ago if that's not a tell tale sign of how little we've had to really celebrate then I don't know what to say. I just think a lot of the fanbase are just now bored and fed up, it's rinse and repeat under Steve and Jon Lansdown and the whole surrounding area around Ashton Gate just feels like the energy has been sucked out the place in recent times. It's depressing.
  3. We've never been that kind of club. If anything we've kept hold of Manager's for too long (Lee Johnson).
  4. For me he has been clearly our player of the season. Brilliant signing by Pearson.
  5. Yeah this is a shout. The club rolled the dice in October, it's their call and their Man. Therefore they should stick with him regardless what happens going into 2024/25. If it fails it's on them.
  6. Glad I didn't go today. Yeah , we won 1-0, but it was utterly boring for the most part and pathetic. Luckily came up against a side who are somehow even worse. We have regressed, the players to me as a collective don't look to be showing much fight. The happy clappers will say i'm angry we won but i'm not, I just think we're a poor side and against most other teams in this League it would have been another 1-0 defeat today. Papering over cracks. Fans voting with their feet by not attending. Depressing
  7. Reminds me of LJ era. Go on a terrible run, then would play absolute no hopers, scrape a 1-0 win and he hangs on that result for weeks on end. This performance is awfull.
  8. Cardiff will annihilate Swansea playing like they have today
  9. Swansea have thrown the towel in here. We've got very lucky today that our opponents are absolutely hopeless
  10. 1-0. Dickie our player of the season. Papering over cracks. Terrible display.
  11. If we somehow win this game it's simply papering over cracks. It's utterly awful
  12. Decided not to return to AG until next season after last Saturday. Pointless, boring waste of time. Fed up with it all tbh.
  13. West Brom showing what a good manager can do to affect a game when 1-0 down at HT. Corberan is a very good Manager.
  14. "Derby" They don't half drum this up on social media forcing a rivalry. This is never a derby. Our derbies are Rovers, Cardiff and Swindon and always will be, there's a mutual dislike between us and all 3 of those clubs.
  15. Utterly madness to loan him out. We never played him in his correct position , which is a striker. He'd do a better job than the ones we have out there at the moment.
  16. He's an arrogant so and so aint he. Found it hard to warm to him, he'll be off in the Summer.
  17. Fans have every right to express their feelings and anger when we spend hundreds every season to watch utter dross.
  18. So glad I made the decision to not go today
  19. It sounds really harsh as I don't like hammering someone's character without meeting them but his answers and the way he comes across is very unhumanlike and not at all personable. He strikes me as a textbook coach but has zero man management skills and life experience that can lead players to victory. I have struggled to warm to him from the start, not because I was a big NP fan but because there's something about him I find so utterly uninspiring and dour. I often think a Football team plays in the image of its Manager. We're boring, and so is he.
  20. Thanks for once again pointing out why I never listen to his press conference. All fart, no shit with this guy I find.
  21. I think it's hard to stretch it back to Swansea nearly 15 years ago as the game (especially in the championship) has changed so much since then
  22. I wouldn't have classed either as slow. They had a lot of pace in their sides.
  23. My issue is, LM wants us to be a slow possession based side and unfortunately unless you have a massive budget or have Parachute payments it is very unlikely to get the players in to play this way and be successful in the Championship. You have to be able to mix things up (Which I felt we were able to do under NP and LJ at times). I think everyone else outside the top say 4 or 5 teams in the Championship are of an equal level of ability and the playing style tends to go out of the window. This is where I have issues with what LM wants.
  24. Woman takes selfie. Uploads to Facebook or Instagram. Looks at comments of all her friends reciting Shakespeare with over the top flattery compliments. Bizarre and cringeworthy. And yes I have no issues saying this on International Women's Day. It's annoying
