Guest ashtonyate Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Give it a rest. Well I think these two points are very relevant at this moment in time as when you talk to fans that go to games these are the issues that are talk about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not pointless these are two of the most important question concerning the club at the moment. Playing Lee is holding back the team as he is not good enough. And playing game not scoring goal and getting results like Saturday is one on the reason fans are think is it worth the money to watch football like that. Now I don't know what its like in this world of utopia you live in but it is not what I see when I watch City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if we'd made some sort of progress as a club during his Bristol City career, we'd cut him a bit of slack. But as it's just been a downward slide since he first pulled on the red shirt, you have a really good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 It is not pointless these are two of the most important question concerning the club at the moment. Only in the gospel according to AY Playing Lee is holding back the team as he is not good enough. Yeah cos we've gone really downhill since he joined us And playing game not scoring goal and getting results like Saturday is one on the reason fans are think is it worth the money to watch football like that. I'd say its more to do with the state of the economy and the high levels of unemployment if you ask me. Same as i've not made it to any away games this season yet, not by choice but because I am out of work. Now I don't know what its like in this world of utopia you live in but it is not what I see when I watch City Utopia would be kinda nice right now, as it is with all the other crap going on in my life right now, I know I still certainly prefer the half full glass approach as opposed to your half empty.

But as it's just been a downward slide since he first pulled on the red shirt, you have a really good point. See you are doing it again I have never said he has held back the club all the time he has been here. He has played his part in the Clubs susses but now he needs to move on for the club to progress that's Football?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tompo Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 The 2 questions I would like him to be asked is 1 his he aware or the discord with some fans by Lee Johnson inclusion in the team. 2 he is happy with the style of play of our football. these questions never seem to get answered at these meeting it just becomes a love in. As both Steve and Maggie Lansdown read this forum I suspect Steve does know what the fans feelings are on a variety of subjects, not just the ones you mention. The fact that GJ is still manager would indicate to me that SL may not share your opinion, or indeed your concerns. Would you rather he adopted a knee jerk approach and sacked the manager after every "bad" result or would your rather he took the club forward based on long term consolidation and stability? QPR (and plenty of other clubs) have adopted the short term approach and I see no signs of that working. Personally speaking I know how I want this club to progress, both on and off the field. As a long time supporter you will recall that it took a long long time (longer than GJ is likely to be given) for Alan Dicks to get promotion to the old division one. Promotion was achieved by year on year consolidation and when it was achieved it was by grinding out plenty of 1-0 wins. Not pretty to watch but effective.

Come on AY, his answer would be along the lines off, " Team selection and style of football is not the job of the chairman." I'd agree with him as well, you'll need to ask Mr Johnson those questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 As much as I think its a ridiculous question.... It should be asked. (ashtonyates Lee Johnson question) I think there is a big chunk of city fans who are (wrongly) unhappy about LJ playing for city and I think alot of city fans would like the question asked.

Admin phantom Posted September 24, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Out of interest how many City supporters do you expect to attend? & will SL supply the cider?? Probably hard to guess, but depending on the answer to your second question could influence the answer to the first. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatcham red Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hi, Looking forward to it will see you there. Out of interest how many City supporters do you expect to attend? & will SL supply the cider?? The attendance varies. From memory I think we had about 20+ at Rotherham, 70+ at Palace and 20+ at Norwich. These sessions actually work better in smaller groups versus the big Q&A's in the Dolman for example. It encourages much more of a dialogue and can tackle the issues facing the club and all fans, especially exiles. As for the Cider, somehow I always end up buying the drinks for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure how he'd answer those 2 ... 1) Gary is the manager and he will pick the team. He probably is aware of the ongoing witch-hunt at Ashton Gate and probably sees it as counterproductive. 2) I'm sure that like most of us, he'd much rather that we play like Barcelona every week. He's probably realistic enough to assume that we won't. However, I'm sure that he does have faith that the manager will get results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've never bothered to comment on Lee Johnson before and to be fair, it's up to Gary who he picks. That said, given our squad, how many of you would have Johnson in your starting 11? I personally wouldn't as i rate alot of our other midfielders ahead of him. Don't be afraid to say you wouldn't! Inspite of what this forum sometimes implies, it doesn't mean you hate Bristol City, Gary Johnson or Lee Johnson. It just means you wouldn't pick him and accept he isn't that great.

This is very true. I've been called "LJ lover" - but even I think he is now a squad member and wouldnt get into our first 11 when every player is fit.

Indeed, I'm also regularly defending LJ, but no, he wouldn't be in my first choice team. When all the illness/injuries have gone, I would imagine he won't be in Gary's either.

I agree that it's a little bit pointless going on about it, as everyone over the years can name players they would/would not pick. On the other hand, the majority fans i talk to on a Saturday (most of them don't go on here), wouldn't pick Lee Johnson. I suspect alot of forum members are like me and just choose not to go on about it, as it gets boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatcham red Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 To answer two points first if Mr & Mrs Lansdown reads these post what is the point of the meeting at Derby. The point of meeting is to create a dialogue, not a one way diatribe, which is what used to happen when questions were posted online. It also removes anonymity, which encourages people to remove themselves from the safety of their keyboards. It also encourages people to think a bit more about the question they are going to ask and be prepared to debate the answer. It provides direct access to the chairman for supporters who don't get to Ashton Gate very often. I could go on....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 and been replaced with who? I'm not to sure who you bring into the squad to replace him, but as far as the first teams goes, Skuse does the same job, Marvin an even better job and I've only seen Sno twice, but would would argue that the early signs are he is far superior.
