Lack of Action Man Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 *This poll is more for the people who didn't go last night but those who did are obviously welcome to contribute as well* Well? I didn't and can't see what all the fuss is about to be honest. Sacking Johnson now would be silly and I'm no happy clapper. I honestly did not expect us to beat Watford last night but who did?

BCFC Jordan Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I didn't expect a win although it was possible. However from what I heard on the commentary it was another poor performance and even when we spent a lot of the second half with the ball we still didn't really create any chances. By the way I don't want Johnson to be sacked yet so I'm not hating on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really but i did expect a battling performance and some form of organisation. On the other hand i wasnt expecting free beer a cheap ticket and a proper chip shop so i spose things even themselves out. ps Marvin and ivan were great!

Roe Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Can't see what the fuss is about? We played a 5-2-3 formation and got found out straight away. That's just stupid tactics in anyone's book so obviously Johnson's going to get a bit of criticism for that. I still don't really want Johnson to go just yet but pretty much all the stick that he's got on here since last night has been deserved. We had something like 2 shots on target last night and have only scored just one goal in the last 5 matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it not be argued however that this was one of the games that we had to play ugly (so to speak)? Playing away from home on a Tuesday night, on a poor pitch with the side under a poor run of form I think it was acceptable (not satisfying) to set out the team in the way it was last night. If it were a home fixture on a Saturday however with perfect conditions for football then I could understand the fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hold on , we werent even ugly! Well by ugly I mean the 5-3-2 defensive set up and the choice of playing the longer game (as was mentioned by Johnson pre-match) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellRedPhil Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I thought we'd draw before hearing the team, I then prediced a 3-0 loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I didn't expect us to win really, our form was horrible going into last nights game. Our away form particularly poor, since we plateaued in October: P7W1D1L5F6A11Pts4GD-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking selection last night. he's lost the plot. I saw the home game on 28th December . Even with Hartley's well placed free kick , it was a closely fought game. I thought it would be tough but we would win. Then I saw the line up...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 No I didn't expect us to win or draw lastnight, I didn't expect to score either, if I am honest I have looked at the fixture list and can't see where our next goal is coming from let alone point.

Redcliffe 78 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 What i expected was an improvement on the last performance not a total gamble on tactics & shape of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 After Cardiff I'm not expecting another win until something changes in the club. Hopefully we can get the few we need to survive and then SL can sort it out in the summer. He won't be the first manager to run out of ideas and I'm sure he will do ok somewhere else, that's football, what's the fuss about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodburyred Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 What i expected was an improvement on the last performance not a total gamble on tactics & shape of the team. My thaughts exactly. After the Cardif shambles we were picking ourselfs up slowly but getting there with the last two games. With pretty much the same team as against Coventry I expected at least a point. Was not at all suprised by the score once he announced the team. Shocking selection. To freshen things up and leave Marv out is crazy after probably his best performance of the season(it wasnt great but this season form) and say that we're going to play dirty? How can he possibly of been tired! I wont be sad if he goes but not calling for his head just yet but feel hes loosing the plot daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 It's a game we shoud be winning. that is why people are getting progressively more pissed. Cardiff we could expect to lose, they have a superior side. Watford are a team we should be beating if we are to believe GJ's promise of top 6! the fact that nobody expected us to beat a team one place below us shows how there is no confidence in our manager. we dont expect us to win because how could we? playing stupid formations with ridiculous team selections.

fenric Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 As soon as the teamsheet was issued I knew and said we were in for a long night. No hindsight needed on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatcham red Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I don't think it is a game we should be winning, although we did win on our last two visits there. Watford have reasonable home form this season. I think most of us travelled more out of duty and blind faith rather than expectation of a result.
