Rocking Red Cyril Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 LJ has stated. On club site, there will four more signings two for first team and two for development side. So first point if done and registered by lunch time Tuesday can they play against Sheffield ? Point 2 , if the two first team players go straight in side that a lot of very recent signings in on side with other Jan signings, point 3, why would you sack LJ if you just given him the backing for all the Jan signings as these new players might not be in favour with a new manager ? And my last point for the moment why do we not stop moaning and just support the team I/we love. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYR I'd rather see more points than players and the two figures are getting rather too close for my liking. They're going to have to start printing the player's names on the front of the shirts as well as the back at this rate, just so Flint knows who to shout at. It's a shambles and if we go down we're screwed, surely we must be overpaying for anyone if they're willing to join us now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Our side is like someone playing Monopoly, today LJ could play his 'Get out of Jail Card' if we lose tonight and then Saturday he could then claim he needs a few more games for them to settle in, knowing the spin we get from AG. Sadly its a heads they win tails you lose. Some will say however that MA does the recruiting and is then down to the incumbent Head Coach. Well, we are Bristol City and we keep trying to reinvent the wheel so we will just have to be patient guys and gals and see what happens. I know I will be down there tonight giving my support to the boys in red against the other team I support hoping for a win for us. So lets hope for a positive week.

Signings are all very well and good but they have to be as good if not better than we have already or recently/about to depart, many have not been which is why we are where we are. BCFC is a club, the team and manager are not very good atm and many of them weren't even here 5mins ago; they are all at sea and haven't a clue and are far from a "team" led by a manager who "is still learning" while we continue to pay while they do. SL will not drop golden boy anytime soon, it will indeed "go to the wire" we can only hope there are 3 worse teams than us at the end. As for tonight our season doesn't end tonight or Saturday, it is not the fans fault we are where we are, this club is far from where it should be and was a few months back, that is down to our leaders.

But the thing is you back a manager to some extent to get out a rut but LJ has been treated more favourably then anyone else before. My issue with this is that if we are to go down SL will come out saying the same thing last time we went down "we need to operate without my money" or "we can't spend that much in wages and now we have to get rid of 20 players to be able to work in Leauge 1" I cannot understand why he needs to sign more players we are short in probably the RB area. However with how we ended last year I don't get how this has not allowed us to progress So overall I don't think the club had learnt it's lessons from the last relegation as it is repeating itself now. I think we all hate moaning about it but it's because we are passionate and hate seeing us lose. Especially in our recent manner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 While we keep churning players, like some kind of game of Roulette unless we really luck out with a crop we will get nowhere. Nowhere. I don't include the development squad or young players released in that assessment as a churn there is to be expected but the more you sign, the more you sell- in most cases it just gives manager more opportunity to tinker, more opportunity to mess up a good thing, more confusion caused by greater options.

Johnson inherited one of the smallest squads in the division. We now have a squad of 23 (24 when Taylor is confirmed). Considering this includes Korey Smith, Adam Matthews, and Gary O'Neil all of whom are only fit on months with an X in it, and Lloyd Kelly who has never played a first team game, we have not got masses of choice picking 18 for match days. Just to put things in perspective, QPR have a first team squad of 34, Newcastle and Villa have 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what would have happened if back in the heady days of May 2015, we had kept the bulk of that squad- okay JET would move on, Elliott would retire that is fine and we replace them- but we keep Tavernier, we keep Cunningham, Kodjia still arrives as planned. Yes you buy 4 or loan 4 or 5 players but of quality mostly and one or two depth. I maybe alone in this and maybe it's heart over head but I have some sort of belief that with less upheaval, with a much better summer 2015 that squad- or the bulk of iot anyway- could compete or have competed a hell of a lot better at this level. Tavernier and Cunningham would have been good replacements or backups for Little and Bryan, a replacement for Elliott, Kodjia and another quality striker after JET goes, Baker would have been on loan. Then you get in 2 or 3 players for depth... QPR, Newcastle and Villa have all been mismanaged to varying levels and with the exception of Newcastle are doing far from well this season. Newcastle are but a club like that is always likely to be at the top of this League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Tavernier- could he have done a job at Right Wing back that's in addition to Cunningham and Ayling sales being a mistake. Leeds may well have paid more than us, can't have seen Preston outbidding us wage rise but as you say who knows. Yeah JET would have gone anyway, Wilbs too 4th choice not for him as you say. I believe that squad was talented enough- not saying we would have gone straight up or anything- but was talented enough to build on for a good season and good coming seasons. Unless they were the ultimate Flat Track bullies in League One! 99 points and 90 odd goals is no joke, the long unbeaten runs likewise, the near run game v West Ham. They had talent, they had ability, cohesion- time was on their side but something went badly badly wrong that summer. After that summer/early season, the die was set, things spiralled further and further down and everything since then, or most since then has been regaining lost ground I think, running from behind to stand still as opposed to moving forward properly.

The highest they achieved was the league position now causing general consternation for us now. Whether playing in a less predictable way would have got a few more points on the board is moot. We stormed L1 with a very small squad, we were extremely lucky with injuries and suspensions. Returning to my original point, Championship experience shows we need more options in every position. I agree that throwing a lot of players together and expecting them to instantly gel is foolish, but Lee is only on about bringing two more senior squad players in - which is about right IMO.

Yeah I agree about depth and about squad size- I remember getting the jitters frequently when I looked at the size of the squad and how dependent it was on 14, 15 core players that season. But that summer Tavernier, Cunningham, Elliott and JET out meant we were weakened. We were weakened in quality, we were weakened in depth. I am not suggesting Elliott should have stayed as a player, I am suggesting he was not replaced correctly and the same with JET. Tavernier certainly was not. Okay let's have a hypothetical squad early season: Fielding Tavernier Little Flint Baker Ayling Williams Bryan Cunningham Vitally needed Elliott replacement Smith Pack Reid Freeman Wagstaff An upgrade on JET Kodjia Agard Wilbraham Another striker is needed, a replacement for Elliott is needed yes. One, maybe two backup keepers worthy of the name, and a couple of wingers. One more midfielder for depth. Oh and no Fredericks debacle where he signed then left again within a couple of weeks. Subject to some good additional players for quality and quantity that squad should have been good enough IMO, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol City defender Tin Plavotic has signed a loan agreement with Cheltenham Town. The 6ft 6 youngster signed for Bristol City earlier today and will continue to train with their U23s and play for them. Initially, he will only be considered for selection here at Cheltenham if there is an injury to our current defensive unit.

In this league we don't know that, I remind you that 2 international forwards signed for millions have found great difficulty scoring in the championship. Mind you that could be because we couldn't give them much service? all may not be lost however as the other temp signing who has come in hardly noticed; our old boy Cots, can certainly cross a ball and I believe he will be a much better investment and could well make all the difference at the end. We should be more than capable of winning most of our home games from now on, at least, starting Sat, we must all ensure that happens and we stop the mistakes; by players and manager or there will be no-way back.
