Forza Revolution Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 For #BristolCity the problem isn't just 8 straight league defeats. That's 11 LOSSES in 12 league games. 7 pts since reverse fixture v Forest. @andrew_cryer - Undoubtedly the worst manager in Bristol City's history!

Coppell went after two league games in charge so it has to be him. Better than O'Driscall aswell very shocking manager. 2 games and expensive useless signings, Coppell definitely is ahead by a stretch for worst manager and agree about O'Driscoll as well.

Lack of Action Man Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I never understand how, as a football club, we are able to perpetually sink to new lows. It is truly mind-boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is truly mind-boggling. It is an unfortunate fact that we have a very generous owner who does not have the first clue in how to spend the considerable money he allocates to the football club!!! The appointment of Johnson in terms of the way it was done and then the laughable decision to give him a contract extension says everything about the way our football club has been run from the day SL walked into the building. He found us in the mid reaches of League 1 and, if we aren't careful, fast forward 12 months and see where we are.......then work out the money he has spent getting there and tell me we have a well run club.

With the amount of money and resources at LJ disposal is this not a reasonable expectation. It seems we are desperate to join in a relagation battle.

When Rowett took over at Birmingham they had just lost 8-0 at home to Bournemouth. The playing side of that club was in free fall and he turned it around.

cityexile Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 You are right. It is eight straight losses against Forest Cardiff Reading Ipswich Wolves Preston Brentford Huddersfield You have to say that is not a list of in form teams. Huddersfield, arguably Reading, but the rest are bog standard fare. Lost the lot. I thought this looked at the time as a good run of games for us! Frankly, pick a well drilled hard working Div 1 side playing that lot,, and I would expect them to pick up something. It is shocking, and the team is starting to play like a Div 2 side away in the the cup to a Championship side - keep it tight for as long as we can, and who knows, we might nick one. The teams we play are about to get harder. Of all the relegations I have endured, this will be the most frustrating and avoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Not just 8 straight losses.. its the millions of pounds spent before that to then suggest it's a rebuilding job.

bearded_red Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 It's genuinely an interesting debate as to what sounds worse. 8 straight losses? 7 points from 16 games? 2 wins from 16 games? 13 losses from 16 games? 10 losses from 14 away games this season? Personally I'd say that 7 points from 16 games is the most damning, but 8 straight losses is pretty ******* specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 This season will be the eighth relegation of my City lifetime. Can anyone beat that? If so you will be in your late 90's!

Seems our greatest achievements during my 30-odd years are winning the third tier and reaching a Championship play off final that we then lost. A city the size of Bristol with the potential to attract 45,000 fans on the big occasion. Meanwhile the likes of Burnley, Bournemouth and Blackpool have played Premier League football, Swansea have won the League Cup and Wigan have won the FA Cup. I don't think it's ever been brilliant really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other manager other than Wenger would survive this. Stunning. I do wonder what the love in is with our club and that family. To be honest we would be better off with this dad if we have to have a Johnson in charge!! I could understand the bad run if his hands were tied and he had no money to spend but his spending is in the top 6 in this division!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS10 RED Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 No manager in the world will ever be in a job after the run we are currently on.. I really do want to know what LJ is doing to or for SL for SL to stick with him this long.

We are sleepwalking to relegation unless we change things now. How we haven't changed things already I'll never, ever know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
