pigeon Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I found it interesting to see Birmingham Citys manager saying this, thought some of the otib regulars might like to see that even other teams in our league feel that we have been unlucky to not come away with something from the last few games. Clark continued: "I've watched Bristol City's game (at Huddersfield) from the weekend and in all honesty they deserved something from the game and according to my scouts' reports that appears to have been the case in a few of their previous five fixtures too. I'm not saying this changes anything but I think it shows that we have had the standard bad luck that Bristol City always has and that other people outside of the club can see that. If a manager of a team in our league can see it then surely we should have some faith as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Unless that was his way of telling his players we were crap, so as not to get his side too confident If we have all away fixtures with our scout watching, perhaps he has a few beers before the kickoff too.

It is said purely to make a defeat to said team easier to take for the fans. Not that fans believe a word of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or it's simply the point of view you get when you have no emotional attachment or pre-concieved opinions. I suspect it's actually a bit of both.

grove park city Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Anyone who managed to sit through that dross @ Huddersfield without freezing,boredom or going to the loo several times would struggle to say much about either side sounds like a i'm covering my arse sound bite.... He must have been jumping for joy the 2 bottom sides at home until Mad Mick gave him a well placed kick in the penalty box on Saturday lose at home to a free falling Bristol City then surely its bye-bye Lee Clark...

foghornred Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 He is right we have not had any luck and have not got what we deserved in some matches but that has all the hallmarks of a relegation side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
