Frome Red Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I haven't seen a new thread with this on for at least a week and a half now ! do you think he's now getting the anti Gj fans back on his side or is the fans relaxing after a couple of good results and will all be back on his back after the next defeat or last minuet equalizer ? I will admit that I have doubted Gj since Xmas but after the qpr game I sided with the "get Gj out" fans but now after a couple of good results I'm confident we will stay up and think that Gj should at least see the season out.

I'm sorry, but this just proves how fickle some Bristol City fans are. Either you want him out or you don't. What difference does two good results make, if you had good grounds for wanting him out in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make gj fickle for putting maynard on the bench but when he's playing well / scoring then he starts him, it's no different than fans being happy with a manager when he's getting result's and being unhappy with a manager when not.

A manager is judged on results, it could be Moyes or Ferguson, if the team are failing to get results and look down and out , the manager will always get it. What a club has won in previous seasons goes out of the window. If results improve, so the manager gets peace, (by most fans). A god one minute, and rubbish the next.

Robbored Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 One win in 7 during which time City conceded 14 goals doesn't change my view on Johnson. If City play as well as Sunday again tomorrow then maybe I'll re-consider but consistency is not something that Johnson can seem to instill in his team.

You've already said you weren't happy with Johnson when the team won promotion and reached the Championship playoff final. Is a win at Ipswich really going to change your mind?

If we bring in enough loanees we were bound to get one right eventually. Its not a permanent solution either, yet. I could go on but that would not be right in the present feel good factor thing going on at present. Anything could happen including winning a hat full on the trot continuing on this Sat.

Yoseph Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Think most people have opted to support the team (regardless of their views on Johnson)....and long may that continue....the support at the last two home games was superb! Something many other clubs would envy! Don't think we really need a thread like this! The general feeling has been much better than in recent times and the atmosphere at the gate has been GREAT!

Ill be honest, I still think a new man is needed to take this club forward. Yep, two improved results and performances against Leicester and WBA has certainly eased the pressure, but he still has a long, long way to go to win me over. To be honest, the actual league position wasnt the main cause for concern with me to begin with, it was our lack or progress on the pitch! Failure to learn from mistakes we have been making for best part of 15 months says to me, that he doesnt know how to fix it. Plenty of players have come and gone, yet 99% of the time, we look toothless going forward, and extremely ropey at the back. IF we kick on the rest of the season now, and I dont mean play-offs etc, I mean real progression ON the pitch...then who knows what the future brings. I just worry about us NEXT season, as if we stumble through the remainder of this campaign without progressing....who knows what might happen next year. Can you imagine a whole season like the second half of this one.....we would go down for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basso_no1 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 This is so depressing. We (and I include GJ in we) have been looking for a team to go out and represent the club with some real pride and commitment and get some results virtually all this season and much of last. The players who went out there against Leicester and WBA did superbly especially considering the pressure they were under and the previous reults. Many of those in this team would not have been my picks before the Leicester game but they went out there and did the business. The manager is part of that and is the best we have had at Ashton Gate for thirty years. So lets please all just calm down and get behind the club, behind the team and behind the manager. Ipswich tomorrow is going to be tough but lets stick with these guys now - at least they will fight for our cause. Come on you reds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'm sorry, but this just proves how fickle some Bristol City fans are. Either you want him out or you don't. What difference does two good results make, if you had good grounds for wanting him out in the first place? Did you really expect us to beat WBA last weekend? Really? I backed Johnson to the hills until Sheffield United but we were looking over our shoulders with 2 wins in 17 in all competitions and 2 goals in 6 games before last Sunday, we really pulled that one out of nowhere and changed things around, temporarily. One swallow doesn't make a summer, but similarly to how the Cardiff result shouldn't have been the be all and end all while it was still a one-off, neither should this be taken either way until at least Saturday.

WellRedPhil Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Two decent results/performances haven't changed my mind. Should we continue the season like this and have a very positive end to the season in both our results and performances then yes, come summer, maybe I will have changed my mind. For me Johnson has been very poor tactically thiss season and has also wasted a lot of money accquiring a very unbalanced squad, so a couple of decent results won't change my mind. But as others have pointed out if we can be consistent, and Johnson shows this was just a blip and he does still have what it takes, then no I won't want him out. I don't have a vendetta for GJ, I simply want whats best for my team. What I will say is that I'm not getting carried away by 2 decent performances!

bucksred Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 football is all about results. Lose enough, manager gets a load of stick over everything from making the tea to the damn nag wot fell in the 330 at Haydock, you go down, and every bugger bitches. even the lovers..... win games, 99% of fans dont have owt to moan about. at least robbored is consistent, he aint ever been happy. my personal unease has been since we got dicked by the 'Diff, and Scumford Lessee now which way will we go. If we lose Saturday the haters are back, with a bullet. if they *shock* WIN the lovers wil crawl out of the gutters, a draw will allow both camps to claim victory. Anyways up the sanctimonious twarts among both camp will have a WONDERFUL time saying I told you so... :badmood: :bored: FACT: This is Citys worst season since Tinpot got the tin tack. we have been leaking for fun, not scoring, and therfore in the wrong end of the table. I would like to think how we played 2nd half on Sunday is how we'll finish the season. However if we play like we did first half, or like we did against Scumford and Barfdiff, then Mr Johnson is back in the frame. Fans will always back the TEAM, not always the manager. Personally I reckon a draw is on the cards, for all the right reasons, Ipswich aint as bad as results would suggest, we aint great traveller's. and we'll perform on the day, with confidence coming back to the team. Either way this forum is one great place to avoid after a game, whatever the result, with the holier than thou of either side crawling all over....

purescience Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I was leaning towards wanting him out back in January but I think with the past 2 results he has earned time until the end of the season.

Frenchay Red Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 This subject will always divide opinion when a team is going through a rocky patch and fans fear for the worst. Recently I have been in the camp that thinks it's time for a change. But this is entirely founded on the basis that the style of football coupled with the results which have been served up over several months have not only not been good enough, but were bordering on relegation form. Personally I have nothing against GJ. Why should I have, I don't know him. What I want is my team to play entertaining footie and hopefully bring with it some success. If GJ can get back to that formula then he can stay here as long as he likes as far as I am concerned, and that goes for any manager. I don't buy into the personal vitriol expressed on here about Pulis or Lennartsson et al. Because had any of them brought success to this club then they would have been regarded in a completely different light. I suspect that most fans main requirement from a manager is entertainment and as much success as possible, and I would guess they don't really care who the person in charge is as long as they are able to deliver those vital elements. So ultimately it's down to you Gary and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
