Hoping to see a return to 2 up front, like when we beat them at home, IF LJ abandons his favoured 1 up top formation then I'll hope for 1-2 in our favour, if not then 2-1 to them.

That said this is more of a 'must not lose' than a 'must win' for us and them I'd say.

 

We look better with 1 up front than we do with 2

I got a season ticket mate.

Would love nothing more then to chat to the bloke and understand his continuous need to play a formaction that doesn't work 

Feel free see set it up. 

Why do I need to set up a meeting between you and LJ? you're the one making bold claims that you would tell him to his face... first you don't goto games... don't even bother listening to games and now you have a ST?? 

Well if you have a ST then it should give you the perfect opportunity to do it yourself... what a bizarre post

Again...never said I would be proud. So more bollocks 

He should never have been apointed. I could see that? Why couldn't our owners? Why? They want a puppet in charge 

Just.like his ridiculous subs v Brentford. Only just can explain that ridiculous 

Sheer incompetence.  Would love the opportunity to tell him to his face to . I'm not a certain member on here...I'll happily admit toyou discontent and his inadaquacies 

Well your post is total bollocks quite frankly just for the highlighted part...

Next home game, why don't you go see him and tell him is an incompetent idiot then? oh thats right you don't bother either going to games.

Like all the ones who were quick to call me out at the end of the season when we stayed up?

Nah mate. I just know I'll be proved right. I'm just gutted that once again this club never gets it right 

Of course you'll be proved right, he will eventually go for whatever reason.... sacked/resigned/leaves for another club

Hardly something to be proud of

He persists with the same tactics  and formation week in week out. Why!?? Because he is clueless . 

He has wasted money on players who he doesn't play...Patterson, ODowda, Engval,, although he played today...Brownhill normally. Waste of money the lot of them 

Our club continually gets it wrong. They gave him a contract extention when we were on a runnof form of something like 7 defeats in 9 haha

Italy ok though. He talks a good game.  Comeso out with all the sound right sound bites 

I didn't watch or listen to todays game. I don't need to. Because I guarantee it played out exactly the same as the last 9 or 10 games. Useless 

 

Maybe if you don't do either then you could leave the forum? Or are you just waiting for LJ to be sacked so you can say I told you so?!

Think he just meant theres a lot of people on here who cant accept others opinnions. I can understand why people want LJ gone and why they want to keep him and.see how jan goes. Im on the fence at the moment but if we dont win soon i know which category i will fall under.

Apparently I'll be happy when we slide into L1, quite the opposite... I'd like to see him stay but I did state which certain individuals missed if we haven't progressed then his job comes under scrutiny... of course it does. Right now albeit the current bad run we have made some progress in the last 12 months... we're still in this league just for starters.

Suppose I better to, maybe I'm not defending LJ vehemently enough

That post was the very definition of pointless

Your posts are the definition of pointless... I don't see one poster acting like the perfect supporter

3 minutes ago, Lucan said:

Exactly!

So many people on here just *love* to act like the perfect supporter, accusing whole swathes of the site of being disloyal in order to highlight how devour they are. Yet when pulled up on their claims they fall apart quicker than a soggy tissue... 

What an absolute garbage post but not surprising from a poster who has to insult people and using a pretty much weak insult to,

What are you blithering about you odd little man 

Imbecile....

I was describing the hoping LJ fails attitude as moronic. Which it is.

Not calling someone an imbecile for stating a fact.

Don't worry James, I to have been called an imbecile  

Thats my word of the day now

He didn't say that you imbecile

Give me strength...

You 'imbecile'.

******* hell what an insult... so funny I forgot to laugh. What a boring retort...

How does refuting your claim that dislike of SC was backed up with "debate", have anything to do with what I thought of SC as a manager.

Although, if you want to go on to that, yes I do think SC could have turned it around IF he had been given the backing.

And I did say from the day LJ was appointed I cannot see him being a good manager for Bristol City, in fact I said if he takes us out of this division it will be down not up. Hope I'm wrong, but my opinion is based not on irrational dislike, just common sense analysis.

Brilliant

I would suggest that you look up the word galvanised. It appears you don't fully comprehend the meaning of the word.

Wow! How patronising...

Believe me I do but to say it was down to 1 guy alone is completely foolish and totally delusional... It was a collective effort by the team, manager and so on.. Odemwingie had a big hand in that as well just pointing out like so no it wasn't just down to Tomlin galvanising the team

3 minutes ago, NickJ said:

The fact is the thing which "Spud" in particular slated SC for he would not back up with hard fact; therefore the so called "debate" you refer to was non existent.

 

The fact you still backed SC right upto he was binned off and even then said he would've turned it around makes your post irrelevant

A player can often drag teammates with him and get you over the line. Sometimes with a player like that in your side, when you've been low prior to his arrival, it gifts you a lift. He's been there done it. 

You crack me up. You'll still be ignoring the slide until we're settled back in league one. Deluded. 

Oh dear, you're the deluded one here if you seriously believe in your own garbage sentence.... totally deluded

Those who despised Cotts. were in to double figures and they were very prominent posters at the time.

'Backed up by sensible debate' - bollocks, they stated they hated him and they looked to find reasons to criticise and undermine him constantly.

You're being very naive if you believe all who doubt LJ's appointment disliked him as a player.

All City fans have every reason to doubt him because he hadn't achieved enough in management to be awarded the Bristol City job in the first place.

 

Yet in black and white it has been said on here but I guess those said posters were just kidding around...

Who's being naive now?

I'd suggest Tomlin galvanised our survival. 

Tomlin was our only player playing was he? Managing the side was he? I guess he was in goal making the saves, in defence making the tackles and scoring ALL the goals, picked the tactics..

Fair play to the guy 

2 minutes ago, NickJ said:

No that is incorrect. There was never any "debate", just insinuations about what was wrong behind the scenes because of SC. They may have been wrong, they may have been right, but the insinuations were never backed up by hard fact.

And I say that as someone who knows KITR and Harry.

Not incorrect at all, the fact is SC was totally abject last season and not even you can argue with that

How many "hate" LJ because the disliked him as a player. I don't know any. I used to like home as a player but not convinced at all about his management credentials though he still has my support, if we keep dropping like this with the money spent quite rightly he will like every manager feel the wrath of the fans.

You only have to read some of comments here, of course you miss them because it doesn't suit your agenda

Absolute bollocks mate. Shit manager,  just another cheap option as I've always said

You lot just hate the fact I'm right.

Enjoy the relegation fight lads. 

Why? You not supporting the team anymore?

Off you pop then

Cotterill probably got given extended grace after what he did for us the season before. Johnson has done sweet FA. 

Except keep us up....

2 minutes ago, Nogbad the Bad said:

The nonsense refers to your absurd claim that there is more ingrained negativity on this forum for LJ than there was from the many regulars who made no secret of the fact they despised Cotts., and took great delight in criticising him and generally putting the boot in at every perceived opportunity.

As I said LJ has had a far easier ride in comparison.

Completely blinkered and hardly absurd... 

The only 3 posters who i've seen who despised SC was Spud, KITR and Harry but they could back their reasons up with sensible debate... unlike some here who hate LJ because they disliked him as a player  what a fantastic reason to hate a manager.

That penalty was a joke, what was Flint thinking?

5 minutes ago, Griffin said:

Not disagreeing just saying they're incomparable 

They are completely comparable, people want to slate LJ but were happy with SC after what was an abysmal half season... I expect the more devout SC fans would've been happy if we won 2 all season...

If we haven't progressed in terms of progression under LJ then yes his job comes under scrutiny but albeit the current bad run we have progressed
