Ben4BCFC Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 We've got one game left of this fantastic double-winning season, and people still want to find faults in players that "aren't good enough" or that we apparently "need to replace" on thread to thread. I know OTIB is filled with people who love a moan, and people are bored without a good whinge, but is there any chance we can have a detox of this on OTIB for just one week? Look at what we've achieved this season: Won the league for the first time in 60 years. Done the first double this club has ever done and only the second lower-league double of all time. Longest run of matches unbeaten from the start of the season (16 - even though Chelsea were unbeaten for a longer length of time, we played more league games). First team in the country over 70/80/90 points. First team in the country to be promoted. First team in the country to win the league. First team in the country to win two pieces of silverware. We've had a thoroughly enjoyable Wembley trip (for once!) We've been recognised nationally and internationally. We've made an original song go pretty viral. We've got a GD of nearly +60. We've got the highest scoring defender in English football. We've lost just 7 games ALL season (we "achieved" that by November last season) - one of which against a Premier League side. We've turned Ashton Gate back into a fortress in which we've nearly sold out of season tickets. And many many more I've probably forgotten. This has been the best season in a very long time and for myself and many others, the best we've ever experienced. And we've done all of this on a paper-thin squad of players - 18 available for much of it, and 18 we use. Let's be honest, we've taken this season by the horns and won both titles at a canter. If these players weren't good enough, we wouldn't have done it. Let's just revel in this thoroughly enjoyable season. It's not gonna come around again anytime soon, let's be honest. Party atmosphere this weekend, enjoy the open top bus tour, and give these players and staff the credit they deserve. Every single one of them has played a part and who knows, had the squad been any different, we may not have done it. But we have. Jesus Christ cheer up and get a cider down you. You'll have all summer to moan about the slow transfer days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 To be fair 90% of the posts are positive; but if you agree with something you tend not to notice it as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLR Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Get your point, but think most of these "negative" comments are only made as people just want to see the team achieve as highly as possible, nothing sinister about it 99% of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Regardless of our achievements and performances, recognising areas for potential improvement and identifying players that may not be good enough for a higher level are natural topics for conversation. It's not "moaning" or "whinging" to do that. Such topics are the meat and drink of a football forum. Real Madrid are European Champions but I dare say their forum(s) are not just an exercise in back-slapping and self-congratulation on how brilliant they are. The club and the team should always be looking to improve and this forum should reflect that. It's too simplistic just call everything a moan. And you'll struggle to find a single person on here who doesn't agree we've had a fantastic season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 You're quite right we should be celebrating all that we have achieved, which is even more remarkable given we've done all of that in spite of Agard and Pack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stand still in any industry you'll go backwards.The team is more important than any individual in it. Everybody in our team is pulling in the same direction, this is our greatest strength. Anybody coming in to replace somebody in this team will have to buy into the ethos of the club or it will be a step backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted April 29, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Agree with the OP, but there is ALWAYS room for improvement and the day we rest on our laurels is the day things start to go wrong.
