Southport Red Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thing that gets me down is we contrive to beat ourselves. Today was typical, Ayling could easily have cleared it, he made a poor decision and Leeds' only shot on target all game goes in. Players are too thick to make good decisions. 2 Quote Link to comment
RedorDead BCFC Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Looked at Barnsley today and saw Sam Winnal scored so wiki' him. Scoreing 1-3 games but went on to get a ha trick. Don't know much about him but is he worth a punt? Quote Link to comment
oldstandrobin Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Can just imagine SL and the board ' well after Middlesborough, I thought we had cracked it' SHI*,we may have to bring in Plan D and get a Top Class Manager who can attract top class players as well and pay them.....BCFC just cant do it on the cheap can we !!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

He's just doing the best he can and I am now believing with some of the 'rumours' flying around that SC wasn't entirely to blame, so who does that leave?. The biggest mistake was not sounding a replacement out before firing SC, that is amateur hour IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment

JoeAman08 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well it's more of the same. Listened on the Leeds link posted earlier(thank you by the way) and they weren't too impressed with Leeds either. They also noted we had failed to score in 7 of our last 8 away matches(now 8 of 9). Sounded like Kodjia was lively but he can't do it on his own. They stated as much that he's got something about him but has the look of a frustrated player and he should be. We've wasted a season and wasted a good player. We will make money on him in the summer but not nearly as much as we could have of we had added some quality around him. I don't think many are frustrated just because we are poor. Think we are frustrated because we are poor and it's still as if we are ok. Not many convincing reinforcements. Sounded as if Gladwin was poor. They scored with a new CB on the pitch(have no clue if it mattered but all there is to go on). Kodjia is asked to do everything to score. Didn't even need a bunch of talent in every spot. Leeds bought Dallas and he's a constant threat. Didn't sound as if they had one on the other side. Not a surprising result and you can magnify a mistake by Ayling but you have to look at the midfield because they don't create or score and they often lose the ball making it harder for the defense.

Like I said before, SC should've gone after the Derby game. It would've given the board time to appoint someone, for that man to assess the squad and make the relevant changes. My opinion of course. Monumental cock up from the SL/board and as you quite rightly say amateur hour all round. Quote Link to comment

We need a Manager and we need him VERY quickly or we are heading straight back down. If we don't get a new manager soon, we will be back down. Then I think we should approach a manager with a proven record of getting promoted from league 1, some like Steve Cotterill? Quote Link to comment

I have no problem with SC's sacking, but I feel with what is becoming apparent now that it should have been done much earlier and replacement lined up in the interim. I think it's pathetic to be honest, I think SL has got this totally wrong, it is obvious now that there was friction between the 2 of them but it was allowed to continue, the argument from many was players wouldn't sign because of SC, so what exactly can the excuse be now he's gone?.

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Tweets and calls coming into RB saying Pearson needed now. Sorry, but I don't think Pearson will come as he would want complete control and SL wants a Head Coach not a Manager. Quote Link to comment

Only when we know exactly why our summer recruiting went so badly and who was to blame for that disaster and why subsequent targets turned us down and continue to turn us down, SC has gone and players are still turning us down.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Pearson and similar types of manager won't reach the top levels of the game if they can't work with a sporting director or a director of football..the board merit a lot of flak in many areas, but that model is the future of the game.

maxjak Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 The Colourless Chameleon that is Bristol City?………One Great season squandered by failing to prepare and plan ahead, whoever it is/they are, they are culpable of badly letting down a very loyal support……..I wonder if Lansdown ever plans ahead in his multi million pound business? I would guess he does. Well now the powers that sold season tickets on the back of leading us into the cherished championship,,,,,need to pull out they're f……ing finger, stop prevaricating and go in with some large bids for players that the selling clubs cannot turn down, and pay some wages that are large enough to convince players to join. They failed to prepare, and now need to pay the price to save this club from what is slowly becoming inevitable relegation 3 Quote Link to comment
stephenkibby. Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 It sounded like its getting more and more likely that Kodjia will never pass the ball to a teammate ever!! I know our midfield never score but have they stopped making runs into the box when he has the ball? Quote Link to comment

I'm not entirely sure that the above comment falls within that category though. GC over DW any day of the week for me, but he's gone and was on a 3-1 defeat today, so what do I know!

Major Isewater Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I fear that even though there are some dreadful teams in this league we are worse because we are too naïve . We are getting done by more intelligent ,street wise teams and desperately need an experienced campaigner tp pull the strings and a finisher . Today ,same old scene , defensive errors and lack of finishing meaning we come away point less again . Quote Link to comment
Shtanley Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Can someone who was there please give me a good match summary, sounds like we had a fair share of the chances but couldn't quite finish off the move in the final third. Quote Link to comment

It was obvious that Cotts was losing the plot for months, so any sensible board should have had plans in place for a replacement, should he be sacked. "Sensible" obviously doesn't apply to the City board 2 Quote Link to comment
