chrizzle Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 But it's true. Lat's see how long it takes for LJ to get rotated out of the team., or will we suddenly keep faith in a winning team. Anyone who can't see what is going on is blind, or just don't want to see it. Apparently GJ may not use the rotation system next week because we've only got one game. Surprise, surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Nothing to do with sarcasm handsome, I was well chuffed with the win yesterday, but we still have a situation where the manager doesn't know his best team or formation, squad rotation my a$$, we hve too many central players, have you ever known a Championship sqaud with not one player on the books who can play left midfield! ha. lets hope that this league is so poor that we get away with it and still challenge at the end of the season Not championship, but England for the past 8 years and Liverpool for the past 5.

Admin Ian M Posted October 25, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Are you saying that City won both games and scored 6 goals because of rotation? Forgive me for butting in but I'm hoping the presumed associated benefits of fresher players at the end of the season may help City to win games in March, April & May, where since returning to the Championship we have the dreadful record of 4 wins in 23 league games.

Bris Red Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 this forum does make me laugh first people were moaning we never replaced carle then they wanted a creative midfield player so gj strengthens the midfield and now he has brought in to many i have a sneaky suspicion whatever gj does it will never be right for some of the armchair managers we have Your missing the point, GJ has got the balance of the midfield wrong. Yes he has strengthend the central midfield area and im delighted with the quality we now have in that deapartment, but he has completly ignored the problems in the wide areas. Even when Mcindoe was here i still thought we were a wide men short, GJ decides to sell him and then not even replace him?! To me that was a baffling decision regardless of weather we were going to play 3-5-2 with wing backs, we still needed a back up formation of 4-4-2 with wingers, at present as has been highlighted in the games we have gone 4-4-2 we are completly lacking width and are asking central midfielders like Sno to play out wide which clearly dosnt work. If we can get a wide man in January the squad will be as strong as any at this level IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyRed Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Personally, I think a lot of people have hit the nail on the head in this thread, but nobody else wants to see it. Johnson has to work out a way of getting his son in the team and if 'rotation' fits, that's what he'll call it. Let's be honest about it - Lee Johnson has played most of his career for his Dad. Nobody can deny that. When he didn't play for his Dad, he couldn't hold down a place in whatever team he was playing for. When he plays for his Dad, he's practically a fixture in the team. Work it out for yourself - it ain't rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdgifford64 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Robbored.....never cease to amaze me......we can`t say a system might be working after back to back wins (6 goals scored) and yet so many people are happy to jump on the team and GJ after a couple of poor performances/results. Symptomatic of much of the crap spouted on this forum under the guise of opinion. PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megansdad Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 The lack of respect for GJ from some is quite stunning- LJ seemed from the highlights to have had a very decent game - sadly whatever he does will not be enough for the doubters and its a shame that we are 5th in the league have just won away at Barnsley and some still want to criticise GJ and see nepotism as the only reason for changing the team. You guys clearky have an agenda and the clear accusations you are now making are quite frankly disgraceful. They don't represent opinion they represent a slur on GJ's character and I find that unacceptable and am sure many others will. We have a strong squad LJ is a part of that - why he gets singled out in the way he does is beyond me. His selection is I am confident made 100% on footballing grounds and given Hartley has been ill it seems unsurprising GJ would try and ease him back and not risk a setback in his condition. Williams is not the same type of player- the system worked against Plymouth so a like for like replacement made sense. and by the way we won- as was said on another thread it seems some of you may have preferred we lost as that would have aided your argument.

Fair enough... And yes I do think that the majority (not you, Dolly or yessir of course) think feel the same. As I've said in other threads wherever I meet other City fans, pubs, clubs and generally out an about the subject of nepotism comes up more regularly than any other City related subject.

cheese Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Correct. Me for one. Me neither, simply because I don't believe that a manager in the Championship could get away with it, I don't believe a club in the championship could carry a player over such a prolonged period of time without being "found out". SL is not daft - if he thought it then GJ would be out on his ear quicker than you can say Tesco (or Sainsbury's). And no-one I know believes it either - and before anyone says - my friends and family are all in Bristol thank you - and I don't know any Gasheads - unlike Roborred.

ooRya Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Correct. Me for one. And me for two. I am amazed that people are still spouting this nonsense, until I see that it's the same old names doing it yet again. Give it a rest guys, you made your point long long LONG ago. Repeating it over and over doesn't strengthen your argument....quite the opposite in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
