Lack of Action Man Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Next 3 games: We should beat reading , qpr (tough one) - draw, and should beat watford I would go with draw,lose,draw there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Fair play to Johnson for sorting it out at half time but frankly his strange, and ultra defensive, starting line up was what cost us the game. We don't and won't create anything with 3 defensive midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leobcfc1 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 If City can't go on an unbeaten run then there isn't a chance of a good finish unfortunately. All the teams in the Championship chasing promotion usually have good runs of form over the Christmas period but City haven't had a good run of form all season.

Keepers Ball Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Next 3 games: We should beat reading , qpr (tough one) - draw, and should beat watford Aah where would we be without optimism. On a different note im getting sick to the high teeth hearing on radio Bristol testers from rovers fans signing off their name as "So and So Gas"....especially the way Twentypee says it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunley Legend Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 100 percent incentive payment. Sorry mate, but you are getting f00k1ng boring and repetitive now. I bet there wasn't one player out there today that didn't give their all for the shirt, not one. They got paid what the club will pay them and as long as they give 100% it is pointless pursuing your mindless drivel about their sodding bank accounts all ba$tard afterf00k1ng noon. Our problems do not lie with players not giving a crap about the fans and going through the motions for their money. Our problems are the make-up of the squad that has been assembled and tactical deficiencies and don't believe anyone who tells you, on behalf of the big boss man, that they are MYTHICAL!!! It has f00k all to do with bank balance as far as I can make out and more to do with squad balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Shame on Danny Wilson bringing a team back to Bristol and playing like that.

Phileas Fogg Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 You mean the 20 pence who came up with the impressive suggestion that notorius benchsitter Peter Styvar raised our game last season?? To be fair to Styvar, he wasn't match ready for like 90% of his time here what with being homesick, ill etc. As a result we never got anywhere close to the best out of him. He did however play quite well vs Portsmouth on his debut, so yes he did raise our game on that occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't and won't create anything with 3 defensive midfielders. For the last three years Gary Johnson has been cautious in his Management style and he reverted to type this afternoon with his initial selection. We had a discussion down the pub along the lines of your team and GJ's team for today and EVERYBODY, and I literally mean everybody, I was drinking with last night called HIS team selection today correctly. GJ will continue to operate in a safety first manner as long as he is at the club. I can put up with that as long as we assemble a squad of square pegs for square holes that will play decent football and make a challenge for the play offs NEXT SEASON.

Perhaps they lack talent or a football brain then - one thing we know our players don't lack in is EFFORT. They didn't sign themselves and write their own contracts. All I am saying is stop boring the whole world to tears by referring to bank accounts - that is only perhaps remotely relevant if they are not lifting a finger for the club.

We are wasting our money. Read a few posts up and you will see my views on the apparent reliance we place on Prozone. By all means use it as an internal tool but don't try and convince people who work all week, have a reasonable brain and are looking forward to the match more than anything else that those 14 balls slung in from between the penalty area and halfway line, that the Ipswich Keeper and Centre Halves dealt with comfortably, resembled CROSSES. That is insulting people's intelligence!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am saying is stop boring the whole world to tears by referring to bank accounts - that is only perhaps remotely relevant if they are not lifting a finger for the club. Yet Gary criticised the work rate of some (unnamed) players after the Ipswich game. We do seem to have reached a plateau and it all seems to be a bit of a chore, the novelty of the Championship having worn off the level of motivation looks nothing like our first season back. The squad is much stronger on paper but there is no improvement in performances and results from last season. The team has rarely gelled so far and shows few signs of doing so, though chopping and changing through illness, injury and suspension hasn't helped. For most of my time following City we have been an average Div 2 club and team and that is what we are now in a league where almost everybody else is similarly average. Can't see that changing at least until we get a new stadium and significantly higher income. Not a complaint just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the losses we are making and money we are spending on transfer fees and wages, do you think that Steve Lansdown will be happy with "Average Division 2" status over the next season or so? I think that the club is reaching a bit of a crossroads with a little unrest, rightly or wrongly it doesn't matter one iota, and next season's Season Ticket Sales are going to make interesting reading as the effects of the recession reach even more people and the tolerance of the football on offer from some supporters seems to be diminshing by the home game. It is all well and good for the younger element to come on here and say "well don't go then" but we all know that when gates diminish to a certain level Steve Lansdown really will question whether he should find something else to spend his cash on.

I don't see Steve walking away. However he is on record that the level of spending requires promotion (though he did not say by when). He gave Wilson time but reached the point where spending had to be cut, which Wilson wouldn't accept. I assume a similar point would be reached with Gary, though possibly the plan is a 5 year one and heavily dependent on the stadium. Treading water and failing to attract crowds certainly won't help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
