BS4 on Tour... Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I think a point away from home at any level of football is a great result. I was player-manager of a team local to this area for 12 years and sometimes I got dogs abuse in the dressing room from my players for the tactics employed to get draws at certain away games. But, we got some fantastic points at places we really shouldn't have done and that to me was justification for how we played. City got a point away from home today, to me that is brilliant, a great result that keeps our run going. Can't understand some of the negativity on here. Home teams hate not winning and we did that to Tranmere today. Great result! Let's be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've dreamed for a point a few games back, yet now we're feeling a little disappointed. A point further away fro bottom spot, and a point nearer safety.

CheddarReds Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 That's the way I'm looking at it. A point away, 5 games unbeaten, Baldock got himself a goal after a drought. Went up a place, admittedly only on goal difference and those around us all lost. A win against Sheff Utd, which I'm confident of, could put us in a much more comfortable position, away from immediate danger. Onwards and upwards..

timothy bird Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Sides come to Ashton gate, and draw and all the so called city fans go overboard to praise them and criticise us, oth if we only draw away it's a disasfer, you mayonly need to look at the match day thread.! you'd think we'd lost 6_0 it really does depress me ,!

BS34Red Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Win your home games, draw your away games and that is promotion form. Remaining unbeaten has to be a huge confidence boost for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza Revolution Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Sod says something like "Bristol city the club, are not Bristol city the team" doesn't he ? Therefore I'd take a point away at tranmere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brislingwood Red Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 A point away is a decent result if you're doing relatively well at home, which were not. Teams enjoy coming to the Gate, therefore we need to be more successful on the road against the 'lesser' sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Win home games, draw away games - great in theory. Unfortunatly, in reality, it's not as straight forward as that. Still, from where we've come from, I'm just happy not to lose right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 And we will be in the play offs by Christmas, god the standards of this club is now on the floor, thinking a point at Tranny is a great result I think you need to get real about where we are and, as they say, 'smell the coffee'. You remind me a bit of the Newcastle fans a few years ago who felt that they had divine right to stay in the premiership because they were a 'big club', and were outraged that they had to slum it in the Championship. The reality is that we have, for the past 5 years, been a club in freefall. We've been a club thats been spending money in a totally unsustainable way. We have lurched from one crisis to another, without any discernable plan or strategy to stop the decline and go forward. We have spent the last year completely changing the structure of the club and the personnel. And, in that context, yes, a draw at Tranmere was a good result. It was further evidence that we're turning the corner. SOD is dead right - "for an away performance, for where we are at this particular moment, we showed some good signs". No-one (as far as I'm aware!) amongst those you label "happy clappers" is happy about where we are. If you think I'm happy, or satisfied, about our current position then you're very wrong. But, I think that the way forward, and the way to get us back to where we all want City to be, and where we have the potential to be, is not to sit on the sidelines grumbling, being negative, and chucking abuse around - generally behaving like a spoilt child that can't get its way. The way forward is to get behind the club and the people who are trying to turn it round. You might not agree with everything they do, and they might not (always) get it right - but at least they are trying to do something positive. As for 'shafting' the club: that implies something deliberate and I dont believe thats the case. I agree that the board has a whole lot to answer for - they've oerseen us getting into this state and I agree that they have a lot to prove in terms of being able to get us out of it. SOD - what evidence is there that he's 'shafting' us - if there's one person who's grasped what we need to do and is setting about doing it (albeit with two hands tied behind his back at present) it's him. That's why I'm 100% behind him. Not because I'm 'happy' but because I'm pleased that there's someone who's prepared to get his hands dirty and sort things out. I think that needs our support, not abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Definitely a good point, we would have crumbled under that second half a month ago but we defended superbly. I was shocked that people bood at full time, after what was a hard working point away, if these people want to see a team winning easily they should go watch man u or chelsea. We could do without their negativity right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that needs our support, not abuse. Well said, Italian Dave, molto bene! Esp the referral to stupid Newcastle fans. I think us 'happy clappers' should be rechristened 'realistic clappers'. Doesn't have the same ring about it but better sums up, as you say, that we aren't 'happy' about being 'bottom' of L1 (even if our bigger picture history suggests we have always been a tier 2/3 club) but realise the long-lasting effect of mistakes made since the final whistle v Hull 2008, throwing bad money after even worse money at the problem, trying to scramble back up into the Champ play-offs (although I have to admit I, along with quite a few others, didn't always see it like that at the time. I can now!) Realistic clappers we are, then. Realistic - we are cutting back further than other clubs have had to because of the money we wasted/spent in the last few years. If you spend more in the first place you face more severe austerity cut-backs when you no longer can spend (ffp) Clappers - we support the team. And, whilst celebrating a point at Tranmere isn't ideal in the light of where we were 5 years ago, in the context of current times (i.e. these past few months) it ain't all that bad at all.

I am not sure what opinions you have other than to be completely negative. If you could possibly ever give some evidence about why and what suggestions you would make for improvement then maybe you would come across as a bit more "loyal".
