Kingswood Robin Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Wow, that's a tough question, we had so many good ones down the years! I'd have to say given our current position, Terry Cooper. I'm not saying he'd make a silk purse, but he'd certainly make something a lot better out of the sows ear we've got at the moment.

Sleepy1968 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Actually, I can remember a Dicks win more readily than a S'OD win. Actually so do I. My first game was a 4-1 win verses Bolton. I had to be told of the last win undetil SOD today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Albeit both games were under John Ward's managership And if we were really forced to employ an ex-manager, JW would be my choice. Hope it never happens, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Squirrel Kingdom Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'd reanimate Bob Hewison because he's been in this position before. He was in charge between 1932 and 1949 during one of the least successful periods in our history, including the 1933/34 season when we went 13 games without a win at the start of the season before battering Cardiff 5-1 at Ninian Park on Remembrance Day. We finished lower than tenth in the old Division 3 (South) in six of the ten seasons he was in charge and had our record FA Cup defeats (7-1 at Bournemouth) and in the league (9-0 at Coventry) in the space of a few months in 1934. On the 'bright' side in 1937/38 we finished one point behind Millwall but as only one team was promoted in those days it was another 17 years - six of which were lost to the Second World War - before we got promoted to the second division. I don't think SO'D will be here in 2030 but reading some of the statements by the board I wouldn't be surprised if he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps my recollection of Benny or assessment of what might or might not have happened is equally unreliable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Cracks me up that everyone picks a manager that couldn't get us out of league one and slates a manager that almost got us to the prem. We've got some mental fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniehuntslovechild Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have to admit the MOST attractive football (outside of our 1st division days) was Ward 97/8 season. A fantastic attacking side with so much movement. Spanking goals in from 25 - 30 yards on occassion. I remember: Welch Locke Carey Taylor - Fantastic solid captain and organiser at the back Bell Goodridge - exciting winger Doherty - hard man Edwards Tinnion - midfield maestro Cramb - seemed to score easily then Goater - Feed him and he will score Scotty - I think he was introduced during Wards tenure Tony Thorpe - scored for fun (Peter Beadle - I seem to remember him linking up with Thorpe not sure if it was the same season that JW left and Benny took over) Enjoyable times at the Gate with B Block Atyeo rocking. City f'd it up again though with the Benny appointment and Scott Davidson not telling Ward of the appointment. The second manager to give me consistent entertainment and made watching BCFC a joy when i was a kid was Fred Ford (60/67 Seasons) Some great names in the team- Gibbo - 123 jump Briggs Thresher Parr Bobby Williams - The shadow Jantzen Derrick Gordon Low Terry Bush Connor Sharpe Tainton - wizard on the wing and even Ken 'Carthorse' Wimshurst was fun to watch Big John Atyeo We had our ups and downs then, but it seemed more ups.

Taylor10 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I have been watching City regularly since 94. Too young to remember my brief episodes at the gate before so I would say the best football I have seen played was under Ward and Wilson. Obviously great great times under GJ and even though he didn't play as an attractive style he is the most successful. That said I wouldn't have him back. We should never ever go back. If I was pushed it would have to be Wilson. For all his failings I think he played the best football I have seen us play on a consistent basis.
