foghornred Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Fontaine was at fault for their goal again being beaten to a ball that he was favourite for and allowing the cross to come in.If this had been Carey they would say he was to old but Fonts seems to get the shirt no matter how he plays.If not for him we would have got a point and our first clean sheet !

Red Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 If Del still sees Fontaine as the Captain of his team, it shows the amount of upset shown by the supporters against him is deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portishead Red Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 He was caught out nearly every time they came forward and distribution was awful. He needs a spell out of the lime light. Maybe even a loan move to get his confidence back? He is costing us, that's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 That is what you get when you play a left footed defender in the right side centre back position, James Wilson should be in the side for balance. Or preferably sign a right footed CB as Louis is showing his age this season. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Cloud Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 must have a really negative impact on the rest of the team knowing no matter how hard you play, you can't rely on your own captain! - puzzleed why del can't/refuses to see this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southport Red Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 There is a disconnect between the players, manager and fans. By a mile, the most popular City employee in West Yorkshire yesterday was the kit man.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghornred Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 He is playing out of position on the right centre back position but is not much better on the left where Macca is playing very well. Wilson and Carey should be ahead of Fonts in the right centre back position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete1975Legend Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I don't see how fonts was to blame for the goal yesterday. The midfield had a shocker leading up to the goal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you and other individuals get off individual players backs. How is Liam Fontaine a disgrace exactly? Someone who is a disgrace tends to be someone who is unprofessional, shows lack of respect and does something controversial - none of these apply to Liam Fontaine. Bristol City win and lose as a team. If you really care about BCFC, you will either keep opinions to yourself as they really help no one. You may want to change your signature, as you clearly don't mean it - 'We are Bristol City, We Always Believe'. It is a bad run, we may get relegated, we may finish mid table. If we go down, it will because as a team we were not good enough, not because of an individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go as far as the poster you criticise but the fact is that Fontaine has never had a good game this season (and yes, I include the victories) and has consistently been our weakest link, YET still gets selected when fit and is an utterly ineffectual 'team captain'. Sh!t like that hacks people off. You'd almost think McInnes fancied him or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I have had a look at that cross that came in for the goal several times now and I keep coming to the same conclusions; Sorry to Fontaine but the lad looks either totally disinterested or inept. Perhaps its a bit of both. The more bewildering is how he gets to play, when fit, week in and week out when he has clearly and completely lost all confidence. In summary though, I never really rated him; he was usually a good squad player who chipped in, now and again, with a decent performance but he never worked hard enough, used his brain enough, tracked back enough, looked interested enough or had the overall skill set to be either given the captain's arm band or merited such high praise from some quarters. He has been a good servant and a good-ish all round defender, but no more. And let us not forget, he is handsomely paid so before anyone says get off his back I think he should be man enough to take the flak. Right now he is in the spot light and rightly so and the sooner Del tears up his game plan and gives the arm band to someone else the sooner we will start climbing the table. That and the blatantly obvious requirement for a creative midfield player and a decent, and I emphasize decent, commanding centre back x 2. All in my humble opinion of course.
