There was a stat in midweek, Brighton have lost 8 of their last 74 league games, not sure LJ can quite match that..

I preferred the Huddersfield Fans tweet. Did you see it? That showed how truly shit we've been.

There has been nothing in attack barring one djuric chance. Now we should be worried as we're losing and not even creating anything.

 

Not worried about arrack I'm worried about the defence, that's the problem

For me Tues nights game is the line that I have drawn. If we lose then that is it for me as far as Johnson's management style, tactics and team motivation, 

If I had invested circ 15m in new players I would have wanted to see some improvement in the results/performance.

That line should have been drawn in December and we may not be in the sh*t we are now.

Don't bank on it, read between the lines with our Bob... more likely to be posted with veiled/subtle contempt to posters in support of LJ

Flint at the heart of a shit defensive performance? Well I never. Pathetic defender.

I would normally disagree but at some point you have to look at him. He's been a mainstay in a poor defensive team for 2 seasons in a row now. I'll take Wright and Mags as my two CBs. Be nice to get quality fullbacks next to them though. 

Though their second sounded like a set piece so assuming Flint was forward. Hard to blame him for that. I'd be willing to sell him on though if someone wanted him. 

To everyone complaining about today though, wasn't this a free game for most of you? Think Burnley have only lost 2 home games this season and that was to Arsenal and Man City. I never expected a result and I don't think many did. Save the complaints for Tuesday night.

Major this has nothing to do with bad luck

So depressing , no signs of our luck changing .

On a positive sounds like O'Dowda is improving.

Yes Major don't you know, the idea that form or luck exists anymore is an ancient concept. We are doing badly no, which means we have always been bad, the Manager never won a single game ever and the players were never any good. Have you never read 1984? 

"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten."

Why are you critiscisig Flint Jesus Christ ........... your talking out of your a***

Sounds like one for Britains Got Talent then.... I'd like to see that..  

[man in the middle]

I know Burnley are premier league but they are playing with there reserve team, come on if we had Messi and Ronaldo we still couldn't get a result at the moment, only the cup but I'm depressed again.....

..

[CotswoldRed]

There will be people supporting LJ I if we lose the next 5 league games. That would be 17 defeats in 18.

Anyone here ready to support him beyond that, or can we expect an overwhelming consensus by then? 

[Sepp Blatter]

So that's no win in 9. Wake up everyone for god sake. 

[Fiale]

Burnley just seeing out the clock now.......

Ignore the fact that we have lost 12 of our last 13 league games!!! Anybody would think Johnson is being hard done by here. He is the first Manager in the club's history to lose eight matches in a row. If we lose to Sheffield Wednesday there wont be many in the ground on Tuesday chanting "Johnson in".

Maybe, just maybe there are more fans than you think who are willing to get behind LJ and give him a little more time to try and turn this ship around. 

[Wanderingred]

Any chance of him being given the boot before Tuesday? Say if we go on to lose by 4 or 5. I cant bear the thought of him being in charge for any longer.

Tbf - They are a decent outfit , and good on their own patch

We didn't want any injuries before Tuesday

And at least Zak has had a run out

We were in the game for an hour

Caught in the break

Small Margins

Cant compete with Premiership budgets

Fully focussed on league

 

All positives fellow Reds

 

Caught on the break?, surely not?.

hold on. You're only allowed to criticise LJ on here. Players are exempt. Tow the line Monkeh.

I think Flint masks his deficiencies well with his aerial ability and his willingness to throw his body in front of shots and crosses. I get being a fan favourite but he's just not a top half of the championship centre half and that is best case

Yet another weekend ruined .... 

On to Wednesday on Tuesday...

[Ryan_BCFC]

It's all doom & gloom.

It won't change until midget has been given the boot, probably when we are relegated at the end of the season.

There might be, I don't know. But my feeling is that if we get done on Tuesday for a fifth consecutive time at home then that will be that for Johnson

[cityloyal473]

I'm Johnsons biggest critic, but even I'll give him a pass for today.
