The only thing is, we massively overperformed for 2/3rds of that season. Some games defied gravity the way we clung on to a lead or grabbed a late winner.  Some will say we choked, but I just think thr season caught up with us, whisper it, but we missed LJ when injured & we'd used all our good fortune pre Xmas really.

I think Byfield was top scorer with 8, which says a lot.

 

0 GD after 42 games says a lot.

Ipswich have more points now than we achieved in 2007/08. There achievement far outweighs ours, they're likely going to hit 95+ points.

QPR were "at it". Interesting to know stats, but trust your eyes. They were very unlucky. Attitude template for our upcoming games.

Cifuentes is certainly getting a tune out of that team. I think they'll survive comfortably playing like they did last night.

I don't really want a coach or manager who is developing whilst being manager at Bristol City. We've done that before, it never works.

Certain clubs suit certain types of Coaches/Manager's. We don't suit this route.

This would be great news for England fans and Man United haters alike.

One of the most under rated films out there

Ian Gay would make an excellent heel or villain.

Have a strange feeling we wont lose to either Ipswich or Swansea but then West Brom will give us a good hiding.

I think i've decided not to renew for 2024/25, regardless of what League we're in. 

We've been boring to watch for years, and I could get on board with it under NP as I could see he was rebuilding a squad for the future. Now this is slowly being ripped apart for 'progressivism' which to me is even more boring than what we've had even at times under Lee Johnson.

The whole day out is expensive as well, and the atmosphere terrible. The fans are bored and fed up with it. We've seen umpteen amount of clubs surpass us and make it to the top and we just flounder in the Championship going from hopeless to hopeless.

Time to start going to a local non league side for a bit to get a proper football fix.

Hadn't listened to the pod for a couple of months after finding Ian simply unbarable but after reading the comments on here I found it was a must listen. 

Tom and Neil Sutton absolutely nailed pretty much everything really and I wish they were on the pod months ago to challenge Ian's biased and obtuse opinions.

I was laughing throughout most of the pod to be honest when Ian was trying to find everything and anything to defend the Manager. He lost it imo when he said 'Some want us to lose' - Simply not true and not a single City fan would ever want that. 

At the moment we're staring down the barrel, we're in terrible form, I can't see us scoring more than 1 goal in a game and if we lose the next 2 we will be in the relegation scrap.

Maybe there was a good reason as to why so many City fans did not want NP out..

Manning didn't like us on the counter press vs Southampton (Which is what we're best at) so has now reigned us in and gona ultra 'boring ball'

Nige back would be lovely but can’t see it.

I think Paul Heckinbottom as a manager would get better out of the current squad.

Heckingbottom is a shout. Decent manager at this level, would suit City I think. Relatively progressive but can also mix things up which he did at Sheffield United.

I do fear the Manager's job at City is a poisoned chalice though, and too many managers look at us and think 'too high of an expectation and if i fail i'll be at a League 1 club after'. 

Should never have sacked Pearson. Absolute disasterclass.

Sorry we've seen this type of performance too many times from this side to take any positives.

I have not been so depressed watching us in that 2nd half for years and that's saying something. 

Cardiff had more fight and resolve than our pathetic bunch today too.

But he has arrows on the training ground, course he knows what he's doing

Is that 2 poor performances in 21? Absolute clown 

Just the 2 ?

I’m a member not a STH. Absolutely zero motivation to part with my money at the moment.

Pointless going mate. Come from Trowbridge every game, its become a long and boring day out. Never felt so distant from the club, you should feel excited to go and I don't anymore.

Decided thats enough for me this season. Seen too many boring, uninspiring games.

Culture of the club is in the bin.

Not returning for the rest of the season.

We've had much better forward's over the years - Bob Taylor, Cole, Allison, Agostino, Goater, Akinbiyi, Lita, Maynard, Stead, JET, Wilbraham, Tammy, Kodjia even Weimann in 2021/22. 

I don't think Fam is fit to lace any of those players' boots.

Any other players you think need to take responsibility for their performances or is TC your biggest issue ?

Yeah, Mehmeti for one, but he needs to not be starting.

I'm also waiting for @W-S-M Seagull to find any posts that shows I just support everything LM says? You're probably struggling to find anything..

I have been among one of the biggest critics on this forum about the club since the sacking of NP, but maybe not every single thing is Manager related and player's sometimes need to take responsibility for their own performances.

. We then see posters such as yourself saying the exact same thing as Manning. I'm gonna name this phenomenon as the 'Manning effect' 

It's all propaganda with the intended purpose of shifting the blame from those responsible and absorbing them of any accountability. 

You clearly have never ever read many of my posts then.

@Davefevs can you help me out here? How many chances is Conway getting? How many high quality chances? How many touches in the box etc? 

With my own eyes he looks isolated a lot and is being fed scraps. 

I know you're looking to blame the Manager, but from my own eyes he hasn't been at it at all since Rotherham away in October. Stats mean **** all, the eye test has shown me he hasn't been up to it.

He used to press like a maniac, he can win 50/50's. Has only been complaining in game since December (bourne out of sheer frustration). He will score bag fulls of goals in the right set up.

His hold up play is also pretty poor..
