frenchred Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Johnson is a little bit out of his depth? Poor starting line up, very poor substitutions, say what you like about Matthews you bought him, you played him and sold our best right back! Thought we gave Newcastle far too much respect, they were not that oood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I spoke too soon in another thread. There was nothing wrong with the starters. Only sub I didn't get was taking Tammy off but Wilbs needed to come on IMO. Just would've played all 3 strikers. Maybe Tammy needed treatment though. Losing 0-1 to Newcastle while being on top most of the game is not poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is room for improvement but comments like "out of his depth" when we lose to a team that has spent forty odd million on players are just plain stupid and ignorant without putting too fine a point on it.

Super Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I do think he made mistakes today but don't think he is out of his depth. For me you can't play Bobby in a midfield two and Pack should of played, and didn't really understand bringing Wilbs on when we then just resorted to hopeless long balls.

Taz Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 We also haven't "bought" Matthews.... In all honesty very few would have expected us to get anything from Norwich and/or Newcastle. Villa also unlikely, but of the three that game is the best chance of getting anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we gave Newcastle far too much respect, they were not that oood! Or perhaps , our recruitment this season has been very good . It will take time for everyone to gel . Give him credit for switching to 3 at the back to try and get a point . Anyone can pick up a injury but yes unfortunate it's someone who has previous. I do agree a little bit with the too much respect this but only with certain players o'dowda for example but thought Jimmy , o'neil , Flint, Tomlin , Abraham certainly didn't. Abraham is only 18 and will learn a lot from the last two games. It's a marathon not a sprint and I don't think anyone should get carried away with results from Norwich and Newcastle , we are years behind clubs like them.

Numero Uno Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 The funny thing is that Rafa Benitez said afterwards that he knew it would be a tough game today because "Bristol City have a Manager and Players who know what they are doing and have the ability to switch systems mid game".

We were playing long ball and Tammy and Kodjia were struggling to hold it up or win anything. Wilbs brought that and it helped a bit without end product. Freeman had a good first half and it's a squad. Sometimes someone else will get a start. Freeman did today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've had a 'mare here mate. maybe you could have said Johnson had a bad day at the office, maybe - but you'd be wrong, but to say out of his depth is up there with Thatch and his booing.

He came here and did a fantastic job last year - play off form under his stewardship and thus far we've 3 wins 2 defeats in 5, two defeats by an odd goal against sides plying the in the premier league last year, one of them also being cross country away on a Tuesday night. Indeed the man has credit in the bank and suggestions of out of his depth show a total, total lack of appreciation of where we are as a club and what he has done.

I'm honestly flabbergasted that someone is calling his abilities in to question. He's brave, he's bold, he's made mistakes, he's made masterstrokes. One thing he absolutely has not done is shown himself out of his depth. Far from it, he's shown massive promise and potential. I personally think he'll be to us what Eddie Howe is to Bournemouth and I think, like Kodjia, he's destined for much more than AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we gave Newcastle far too much respect, they were not that oood! Just maybe they managed the game expertly, limited us to half-chances, showed their quality when they needed to with a very good goal, and just maybe they are the title favourites for a reason, with a Premier League budget and players to match. Just maybe we tried to break them down but, rather than showing them "respect", we just weren't able to because we are not quite as good as them. And just maybe that's not because the manager is "out of his depth", but because he is working with a less capable group of players. Just maybe.
