I am beginning to wonder whether I shall live long enough to see City win, or the next manager, or some responsibility for all this mess from Board and owner (how I hate that word and what it implies)

 

Wîll you **** off with your anti board bullshit

the board have built a new ground and backed each and every manager to the hilt

if we had black pools cardiffs or blackburns board you would have a point

but we don't we have a board willing to invest who is run by a city fan

or would you rather a Chinese man who gets board

just **** off

Usual knee jerking after a defeat...

It's not a knee jerk reaction when you're talking about something that's been happening almost every game for months.

Some of us have been saying this for weeks. The games that Johnson has been allowed to remain in charge for and continue losing recently have been our more winnable ones. We need SIX points from our next two home games just to tread water with that lot coming up.

Those saying "wait until Rotherham"; we lose to Sheffield Wednesday and we've 18 games left - to reach the average points total of 45 that is needed to stay in this division we'd then need to win around 8 games; anyone think we'll do that?

[petehinton]

Can't believe people are actually still backing him. Mentality like that is exactly why we are in this situation. 

He's potentially the worst manager we've ever had. Record amount of defeats in a row, banners for him to go all round the stadium, spent £10m in the summer, have the best squad we've ever had....and we are below Burton Albion in the league.

Well I guess they'll be leaving Burnley for Bristol soon

I hope he turns it around as that will mean we are on the way up, others obviously want the reverse of that.

Luckily, they are in the vast minority.

 

 

Action rather than hope would be useful

"Big positives" says LJ.

I'll defer till the reports from people who attended, but didn't sound like it from the commentary.

[stevep38]

lj doesn't seem pissedo ff at all.

[Red Cloud]

"got our identity back" WTF? - LJ is in complete and utter denial

Jesus wept. The man must have balls of steel. Or think we are blind and stupid. Or both. Cloud cuckoo land. 

[man in the middle]

lee Johnson is a national league/league 2 manager at best.. Simply awful.

[willitonciderhead]

Onwards and upwards, roll on Tuesday and 3 points. 

Going to sing my heart out in the South stand (will most probably be one of the only vocal few).

Being a gentleman if we lose I will not lower myself to booing, but may withhold any clapping and mutter a slight tut tut.

Freeman didn't want to show up for work today. Hopefully he won't be getting paid...

We have a nice ground and............um ?

[Red Exile]

It's ok everyone - LJ sounds upbeat...

Absolutely deluded I fear, the most worrying bit is that a man so demonstrably struggling, so apparently out of his depth, sounds as if nothing much is wrong...Clueless.

Freeman didn't want to be at the match and wants to move on...who can blame him!

What do you mean others want the reverse of that. We all wanted him to turn it around and have done for months...He hasn't.

What the **** does that even mean? He uses so many irrelevant phrases. Talk football ffs. 

[Up The City!]

Bye bye Freeman. Don't need players like him here.

[redcityman]

Positives for today, the team are leaving Burnley, back to Bristol it's all down hill, we're still not in the relegation zone, ah ummmm.

LJ is at risk of going on the worst run in football league history. 

Anyone know what that might be? 

He's certainly got the owner's support as he goes for the record. 

I think its Cambridge in the mid 80s. Something like 40 games winless. We are a long long long long way off that!

Regardless of who the manager is, I hope they just bin him off to QPR if thats the case. Player with loads of potential but is and was far too inconsistent under both SC and LJ
