Cornacix the Druid Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yeah I'm gutted too. We should be winning these but there's obviously something amiss here. I'll give him his due, in LJs comments post match, he did state that he can see that he needs a couple more newbies in Jan and had implied that he has given certain individuals enough chances to prove themselves. So, my question is what areas need new blood and who were those who have had maybe their last chance? Theres obvious places on the pitch that are lacking, namely striker and left back. But after thinking I'm also considering goalie and midfield. I think there are numerous players who've been given enough chances, possibly Bryan, freeman and a few others a little more controversial. What's your view on positions and players exiting the last chance saloon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is GJ, Millen, DMC and SC stayed faithful to players who let them all down week after week and they were sacked before they realised, hopefully LJ is true to his word and trims the deadwood even if that deadwood is his own deadwood. it cannot be allowed to carry on.

petehinton Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 He signed a decent chunk of the 11 and subs used today so would be intrigued to know who he's aiming that at. After all he proclaims to need 3 windows, doesn't bode well on his newest signings - O'Dowda, Engvall, Brownhill, Paterson can hardly get a lookin...

Agreed, but sadly it probably will be allowed to carry on as long as the biggest failure of all, SL, remains. The SL who has time and time again squandered success. You really couldn't get away writing fiction like this. Do I want the best stadium in Division 3? No Do I believe in The Bristol Sport management and ownership structure? No Will I go on supporting The City? Sadly yes, it's in the family DNA since the 19th century. Will I ever see City in an FA Cup Final as my grandfather did? Looks as likely as me playing for the Reds in my 71st year What can I do as an individual? Precious little alone, but with other fans with wide expertise in numerous areas from football itself, to management in general, to motivational skills etc, we fans could revolutionise the club. Will it happen? Not as long as it remains a rich man's plaything Angry? You just bet I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like LJ but he has to be questioned on this surely? Especially when there are players in the starting line up consistently not performing so why are these players he signed hardly ever used?

How dare he invest and subsidise players and their wages year after year. How dare he try to build a sporting legacy in his home town to the benefit of us all. How f'ing dare he indeed!!! Pathetic.

Striker definite, maybe another midfielder and possibly a GK, for me I don't know whats happend to R'OD but Frankie is just not good enough... great shot stopper but thats pretty much it for me and oh... he needs to drop Korey. If I had a serious criticism of LJ its his faith in players but it seems he has had enough of that and wants to get rid of a few who clearly aren't upto scratch. With the Tomlin situation I've heard a conflicting rumour that the whole squad is behind LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
