Tanner is the biggest backwards passer I've ever seen at the club, but he's a bloody good defender so I'll let him off! He mostly did well yesterday, as an aside.
Only him and Max turned up……..

Totally. I’m as desperate as you and the people around you, that we find the angle and try to play forward. But sometimes it’s right to be risk adverse.
……..agreed. Had we not been so bloody risk averse in previous games that were dismal 1-0 defeats anyway fans would be more understanding when the ball back to Max is the right one. Liam has caused this himself unfortunately!!

Yeah, just go back to Max, it is frustrating, but we saw at Huddersfield (a) what happens when the angle isn’t there (Tanner).
Angles, tactics, whatever. Not many football fans in Bristol want to see us go 75 yards backwards on numerous occasions. I literally sit in front of half a dozen people who moan all game every game about sideways and backwards. Tactics, shape and the like mean nothing to them. They don’t understand it and want to see balls played forward and chances created. Even allowing for tactics, risk, angles etc. I do get where they are coming from to a degree.

This is the problem. The previous examples of going back to Max from OUR corner kick meant that when it was possibly the right thing to do the boos ring out anyway. It’s an unfortunate case of reaping what you have previously sewn.

As opposed to who?
We’ve loaned Lewis Thomas to Bromley (not exactly sure what’s going on there) & the rest of our keepers are kids.
Be amazed if we don’t sign a far more experienced back up keeper this summer.
I would imagine Lewis Thomas wants to play a few games. You can’t go seasons without playing even as a Nr 3 keeper…….albeit he was on their bench yesterday.

This thread typifies the weirdness of following city.
Everyone is crying out for progress but at same time lots are poo pooing a player like Twine who is arguably the minimum level throughout the squad / 1st 11 you need you win promotion.
Bear in mind that we generally struggle to attract players (see Azzaz transfer etc)
There’s a chance we can land Twine due to the Manning connection but here the consensus is he’s not good enough for City.
Who should we go after & why would they sign for us?
As always, depends on the fee. If Bristol City spend £3m plus on a player they have to deliver end of. We don’t have the money to take £3m punts. I wouldn’t judge him solely on yesterday though because they were all below par except Max and Tanner.

To have not said how many have sold to date if they are going well is beyond bizarre. On Tuesday it’s one week until renewal date and if that’s not met with a campaign of “Join the xxx who have renewed already”, I think it’s safe to say we’re a long way down from what the club hoped.
I was thinking it would be hundreds not renewing. Some think it might be a few thousand. My gut feel is the recent run, regardless of the quality of the football, will persuade those of us waiting last minute to give our (futile but still needed imo) message to the hierarchy enough reason to renew and it will end up hundreds maybe a thousand down.

If I was making up my mind on yesterday alone I wouldn’t take him on a free. However it’s not as cut and dried as that…..

Another poster stating they won't be attending next season to add to the list. I'll remind them next season when they post they do..
There will undoubtedly be a drop off in ST sales, quote this if I’m wrong by all means, it’s just a case of how many……..

Liams first press conference at Oxford: “You look to academies first, why wouldn’t you”
Liams first press conference here:
”I understand the importance of players to see the pathway, and the most rewarding thing for academy staff is where you see someone make a debut. But also from a pure business perspective you invest huge sums in the academy, why wouldn’t you look there first? That doesn’t mean you take everyone from there but it’s the first place you look…..we’ll definitely look there first then go external after that”
Just leaving those here. And guess how many he brought through at Oxford.
It’s the difference between an experienced manager prepared and able to deal with a moaning Senior Player or three in his office and one looking ahead to an important three months next season who cannot afford the seniors to turn on him. Simple as that.

This is a massive loss for the club. I first went to a game at the gate in 1986, and since then there have been lots of downs, and to be fair a few ups. However this news has rocked me...... how will we cope?
You can be sarcastic but if 1000 people take his view then Steve has to find another £0.5m out of his own pocket. Thats ok though cos you don’t give a ****

Think his defensive work, tracking back limited a start yesterday. Especially with no vyner / Dickie at centre half
We were home to third from bottom and safe from relegation with fans having watched months (years actually) of shite and the most important thing is to make sure we have people who track back when our talentless squad, trying to play possession football, lose the ball……..again and again?

So….why the MASS exodus of fans (a) when Huddersfield scored (b) on 85 mins?? I hate it when fans leave early at the best of times but that was embarrassing today. We have been on a good run of late and I know things are petering out to another season of mid-tableness but hey…fair enough if we’re losing 3-0 or similar! I’d like to know how many City fans saw Nahki’s penalty scored as we fought regardless of performance to get on level terms.
People leave when they like for whatever reason they like. Hasn’t got anything to do with you.

10 points in those home games?
Didn’t stay to see us beat Swansea tbh it was that shit. Points alone may do you, not me. QPR, Cardiff, Swansea, today - all shit games of football. Wednesday was the worst defending by an opposition at this level I’ve ever seen. The poster who said our performance is dictated by the opposition is spot on.

Is this really how pathetically reactionary we are going to be now? One disappointing draw after a decent run of form and a 5-0 win in midweek?
I was Manning out when we on an extended poor run. But our form has been much improved over the past few weeks. We are a mid-table squad doing mid-table things. Will we win games we don’t expect to and lose some we expect to win. Our league position is about par for the squad.
We can’t constantly keep changing manager without really strong justification. Right now I don’t think that strong justification is there, and Manning needs time - and the summer - to see what he can really do.
That’s what’s going to happen and if he changes nothing and we continue to put these performances in regularly then his position need’s revisiting. The ball is in his court.

Point being that Bristol City have had games like this under every single manager in my lifetime, more frequently than I care to imagine. Expecting perfection every week is what Man City fans do. Sadly, for ua it just won't happen. So there was a point.
……..and when it’s four out of six home games boring people to death fans are entitled to call it out for what it is too.

Garbage game. Another Binary Bore to add to a long list. Huddersfield weren’t totally useless at the back so we massively struggled. Take a point. Hasn’t helped Manning’s cause much going into next season and won’t have persuaded anyone in doubt about a ST to purchase. Far too many of these games. Another season of watching this type of football will do for me I think. No excuses, we don’t operate under massive budget restrictions now. Let’s hope Liam introduces something different come August because this bollocks is ruining my enjoyment of football.

Swansea levels of shit that 45 was. Not a single shot at home in 45 minutes. Wow.

“Nearly full houses every week”
If ever a quote summed up their fanbase that is literally it. Imagine the scene, some horse puncher in a boozer in London, chatting with some Spurs fan:
"Who do you support?"
"Bristol Roverzz, biggest club in Bristol and we gets full houses every week. In fact only Spurs spent more money on their stadium than us the other season."
"What does your ground hold, 20 maybe 30K?"
"Well not quite, it's about 10K and we're getting 7K most weeks so like I say, nearly full houses every week. Also we take 30.83% of our support away from home (except Fleetwood where we took 75) so we're the best supported away club in the country as well."
"You took 75K to Fleetwood?"
"No, 75 fans".
"Oh, just need to go outside and make a phone call...........".

It’s hilarious, I think all fans of the top 4 thought at one stage “we’re pushing each other onto records points totals” but in truth we have all what the bed, there’s no point trying to guess but Leicester having a 17 point lead over us come the new year and being caught has destroyed them
People never learn. It's the Championship and predictability never reigns. Full of players who are Premier League one week and League 1/2 the next......such as Dominic Hyam on Wednesday (if you haven't seen it you should have a look and try and work out how it is actually possible for someone who plays at the level as CAPTAIN of his club every week to put in that "performance"). Add into the mix that teams right at the bottom have now reached the desperation end of the season and in a league famed for "anyone can beat anyone" it really isn't that surprising what's happening.
FWIW it will be criminal if Farke cannot get Leeds out of this league automatically. Best side seen down the Gate this season by a motorway not a street.........and I include the West Ham and Forest cup sides in that which were about as strong as they could put out at the time anyway.

I think as many have pointed out, we still struggle against teams who play a certain way, especially at home. Thats not necessarily new, and I think that’s one of the biggest challenges for LM.
It's a challenge that will see a lot of heat evaporate away from him if he can overcome it..........

Which is why, in my view, the Technical Director MUST be sacked whatever the club does. Very little of his comms are shown to possess any degree of truth which for me is a huge red flag and then add his dubious qualifications to say the least to be in the role then I cannot see how his position is tenable. There is no way back for him whatever the club does as far as I’m concerned. You cannot have people in post who are proven to be incorrect pretty much every time they speak publically.
