Donald Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Maybe this shows that they can play football but the crowd at home aren't helping? This is only speculation, I've recently moved to France so haven't been to a home game. Indeed, the pressure at home these days is massive, away from home the team do get alot better support, At home, one mistake and the fans are on your back, No surprise our best results so far have come away from home. That said, a negative formation at home doesn't help either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players can't play well under the library that is AG, then they shouldn't be footballers. I've seen and heard a lot more abuse at other grounds. JEEZ...if this were Lazio, they'd be burning their cars in the car park and invading the training ground.

mutley147 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 The atmosphere on OTIB and at Ashton Gate is only a reflection on the performances of the team, and the manager. The point I was trying to make is that maybe the performances of the team at home are due to the massive pressure they are under from the crowd at home. I appreciate it's not easy to get behind the lads when they're playing poorly and not much is happening, but jumping on their back at the games and on OTIB (I know for a fact that some of the City players read the forum) really does not help the performances at all.

Luke_Ciderhead Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I think the atmosphere at Ashton Gate is usually a reflection of the teams performance, not the other way round. It would be misguided to point any blame at the fans. Anyway, second half just starting COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Fans thing,negative or positive is a hard one really. We as fans pay out a fair old amount- football in the UK is overpriced in many places I think but that's by the by. Anyway fans pay out hard earned money in the teeth of financial problems in the country. I suppose all one can ask for is full effort from all- that is it.

The pressure the City players may feel at AG is due solely to their own very poor performances and inability to get even a single goal. No one's jumping on their backs, the City fans have mostly been extremely patient, those that still bother attending that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith_Lemon Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Agree entirely. The crowd have been very patient, considering the rubbish we;'ve had to endure for far too long now. I think the reason we are so patient is because the club in it's life has not had any real sucess, so we have not had the taste of it. Our players are lucky really.

InCider Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 4-5-1 Spot on. We need to play a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 at home without a doubt, but this formation definitely works for away games. STUPID STATEMENT. What do u expect us to do???? Run on the ******* pitch and hover at the far ******* post???!?!?!?! We play 4-5-1 at home.....THAT IS THE PROBLEM. It's not a 'stupid' comment. Mutley probably does have a point. Even last season, we tended to play better when there was a good atmosphere (the game against Reading for example). You are right though, that it does work both ways. The atmosphere is undoubtedly worse as a result of the lack of attacking football at home. I wish I was in Leeds though, as this sounds a very decent performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
