Scrumpy_247 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I know we are past the Johnson days but if he was still here, where does everyone think we would be? I think we would be a mid table championship side like before he left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuber Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Would've struggled the following season as he lost the dressing room in my opinion, may not of got relegated though, depends if he insisted on trying to lump it without an actual target man on the field...

bristolcitysweden Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 No better than today. In fact he is the main reason to where we are. A fluke season and offering golden long term contracts to poor players holding us back. Some of them still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I know we are past the Johnson days but if he was still here, where does everyone think we would be? I think we would be a mid table championship side like before he left By sheer coincidence, I was wondering this myself today at work. I don't know where we would be now but I do now that I would be very happy if we were in the league position we were in when he left. Trouble is, he appeared to be losing the dressing room at the time of his departure so there is no guarantee we would've survived that season.

Scrumpy_247 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I was at his last game (Plymouth away) didn't he get in a bust up with 1 of our players at half time? If so who was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fka dagest Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 It's impossible to say, but one thing's for sure Robbored will be on saying we'd be in the conference and that he foresaw it before anyone else. This will be on account of his greater level-headedness and ability to reason accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITW Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I strongly doubt we'd be in the relegation zone had Johnson been from the start of the season. Same goes for SOD. I was gutted to see Gary go at the time but he seemed to be at the point of no return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpy_247 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Johnson at City really did have a buzz for the club. I never appreciated being top of the championship during parts of the 07/08 season enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I would guess, very similar to where we are now. You need more than athletes to succeed at this level, he really struggled to identify/bring in any quality footballers, he relied on what he knew best honest grafters that would respond to his authority. Unfortunately you can only keep this up for so long before the required reaction is lost, sometimes it breeds resentment. I wont knock the bloke achievements here because quite frankly, his time here was extremely successful and made the fans feel part of the club.

BS34Red Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Do people not remember how terrible his last couple of months was, 6 nil defeat by Cardiff. Yes he got us up and we had a good season in reaching the play offs but from that moment on we was on the slide. Had he stayed for the rest of the season we would have been relegated without a doubt.

BS34Red Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 should of sacked johnson after the hull play off finalthink you might be right there. We was in a position to push on. Lansdown made a considerable investment the following season. We needed someone who would have taken advantage of that. Johnson was simply out of his depth and brought in rubbish like styvar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly heading the wrong way. I agree with Robbored in that I never really enjoyed any of the football (including going up and play off season). It was effective and going up and getting to the play offs were great, don't get me wrong, but the football was so bland. it would have been interesting to see if he would have had a complete clear out if he hadn't been sacked, as it seems as though he had lost the dressing room.

eskay Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 The last few months were dire - don't we all remember that? It was time for him to go and I do not think he left a good legacy, academy out on a limb, poor performances....... Good ridance if you ask me.
