Johnson's post match interview


Fordy62

Recommended Posts

Morbidly looking forward to this one. I just really want to know if he'll try & put a positive slant on things at all. 

"We've got to take the positives, we're unbeaten in three and we look forward to Leeds."

NB that's a prediction, not a quote. 

I feel sorry for the chap really. At 3-0 he was probably the most relieved man in the world...

Was that the problem? Did we think it was job done?

In any case after our run if he can't find enough in the locker to shut up shop at 3-1 with 30m left I'm not for hearing excuses, the ink is dry on the p45.

Bizarre really. 

I thought he should have been sacked after the shit performance against Rotherham. We won but we were that shit. 

Sort of ironic then if he were to be sacked today when the first half really showed some real green shoots.

I think he has had his 9 lives personally. 

We could have been 0-0, 1-1 today and it'd be come into owner's office for a port and a Cuban... but 3-0 up and ending 3-3, it's only the guillotine to be found in my office. Results don't come equal , as you suggest re Rotherham. That was not a positive result today.

Sum up of interview:

Showed good character first half, should've scored 2 or 3 second half.

Still believes in players and we showed we have goalscorers.

No complaints about penalty.

Disappointed to have lost 2 points.

 

N.B this is the actual interview

Unbeaten in 3 is a fact so why shouldn't he say if. Best football for months in first half. And we would have completely crumbled under the 2nd half pressure a month ago. 

Take the positives.

You consider that not completely crumbling?

I don't. No leaders. 

Well, I watched Gary O'Neil earlier in the season and he looked a leader to me...Wilbs is a leader...maybe just the sort of players to get a much needed win over the line...but not today obviously. Personally I think we have the players, but have lacked confidence and structure.

That was my follow up in the edit, but kept getting errors. I agree with it all. 

 

LJ is slowly killing this club of confidence and excitement. When was the last time you went to the gate full of excitement with what you were about to watch!? And not going down because it's just the way it is. 

If im honest, I couldn't get excited last week and only went out of it being a chore.

No-one hurts as much as him? Bollox.. absolute bollox. If I was in charge and navigating us so badly I would have walked. 99% of fans would except those narcissistic. 

Dont give me that absolute bullshit.

To outplay Derby on their own patch for much of the game was a genuine achievement given the recent results so I'd agree that it was an outstanding performance for most of the game against a very good team.

But people only see the result - which was a draw not a defeat.

Seems some people actually at the game agreed with him.

Some sensible callers on Radio Bristol as well tonight, not yer usual brain dead rabble.

How can we be outstanding over the course of the game when conceding three goals in the second half? If that's outstanding then I'd love to know what he thinks diabolical is. Because drawing 3-3 when you're 0-3 up is just that. Diabolical.

He didn't say that did he ?

I didn't hear it, but I would think the players would be hurting more than anyone.

Apologies if he didn't. I may have taken someone's humour literally.

Only thing C is that it sure feels like a defeat,instead of what is actually a good point,Derby had only concededed 7 goals at home before today,we score 3 but only draw,frustrating or what.

OK.

Lets chuck in the towel.

Fair enough.

It's not chucking in the towel is it? Positive action or reaction needn't be necessarily. We didn't chuck in the towel when we sacked Millen, nor when we sacked O'Driscoll, nor when we sacked Cotterril, quite the opposite we came out fighting and benefited from each decision. Sticking with LJ to me seems to be chucking in the towel.

Because the owner and Board are happy with third division football - again!

Really? Why?

Genuine question. It's the players that concede the goals.

I think we have an excellent squad, perfectly capable of competing at this level, as we've done on occasion this season, but not often enough or for 90 minutes in almost any of the matches. 

What seems clear is that the players lack confidence and resilience. And for me that comes from the top. The manager isn't a spectator, he's shaping and managing the game through his coaching before a match, his team selections and his tactical advice to the players during it...if he's not doing that I'm not sure why he turns up.

I have confidence in the ability of the players, I have almost no confidence in Johnson's ability to manage at this level. Happy to be proved wrong of course.

Take the positives. 

I'm not a happy clapper by any means. But from what I heard on RB, the pen was dubious and Giefer nearly caught it.

I'll be watching Channel 5 tonight to see if it was as bad as everyone else is saying but I think going into Leeds, who lost to Cardiff today, we have positives. 

I would have left Taylor on though.

Yeah, it is frustrating, very frustrating.

But what is more frustrating for me is the predictable responses on here - I'll go down the pub later and I know 100% that I will get a very different reaction than some of the shite on here. Once again, this forum is full of dummy spitters with some having the audacity to say the players have no backbone when they themselves are spitting feathers and stamping their little feet - as if that helps anything. This forum is 100% not representative of the general support, most of whom have never heard of OTIB or give it a wide berth. 

Yeah, we should have seen the game out - we didn't but we got a point that most on here didn't expect and we move on to Leeds where I'd like to think we'll get another point.

 

 

I am in awe of the way yourself and a collective few can just accept it and move on. I wish I didn't care about city so much! I wish I could take a 3-3 from 0-3 on the chin as well as you. Fair one.

It's on the highlights thread...pen was soft but not that controversial I'd have thought. Good attempt from Giefer, unlucky not to save it.

Did they edit the interview? Because I missed the bit where he said "don't worry, I won't have another one of my teams letting that happen again in a hurry

That only works if he says "I'm a winner" as well.

I don't think a good team loses because of a bad manager. Weaknesses all round I think.

I was at the Ipro today and I will provide an objective summary to quash all the negativity on this forum.

In the first half City played superbly and were worthy of the three nil lead at half time. It was as good a half of football as I've seen us play all season. Hegeler and Cotterill were outstanding and playing two up front was just what we needed.

McClaren made two substitutions in the first half and Anya came into the game hugely after the break. Bents headed a great first goal and you def sensed a change in the game with City pushed deeper and deeper. Matty T then missed an open goal at 3-1 which would have killed the game. Derby kept probing from the flanks and when Ince scored there was a genuine feeling Derby would take a point. Offensively they possess so much quality.

Disappointing to let 2 pnts slip but if City play like that each week we will def stay up. Finally we have two midfielders in Cotts and Hegeler who move forward with purpose. Taylor's movement is excellent and him and Tammy will stretch teams.

Last week I was so depressed but today I can def see big signs of improvement.

Undoubtedly, but the players don't select and train themselves. It's the manager/coach that does that. Buck stops there I'm afraid.

I don't see many people saying that the players have no backbone...the criticism is largely of the manager. Rightly so in my opinion. I'm perfectly happy to accept that others see things I can't...I wish I could see the positives that you clearly can. This season has been immensely disappointing from my perspective.

But that said, for poster with the best part of 18k posts to their name, who's clearly made a contribution to this being one of better places to read about and discuss City, you do seem to have a very dim view of your fellow posters..."dummy spitters...stamping their feet"...

Thanks Corsham Alf - hopefully your post will help reduce some of the moaning on here.

I am as gutted as everyone to have lost a 3-0 lead but......what a GREAT point.....one I didn't expect at 3pm today.

Thought MT gave an honest assessment too.......recognises that he should have put us 4-1 up and is "gutted" not to have scored.......

Lets hope for more of the same on Tueday now.

COYR!

Honest question...how is it that such a high proportion of the relentlessly sunny posters on this forum have so few posts to their name?

In this thread 3 of the last 5 posters fit that bill...I'm impressed that standing up for LJ is the thing that's got you posting...if slightly amazed. Fair play to you of course.

Because it has already been mentioned that allegedly BS staff are being paid to do so.

Whats embarrassing is they're even rubbish at that, I mean it's pretty obvious.

Well as we have learnt it was regurgitating an old quote but in any case it is not crap. It is not crap because I didn't take offence to the suggestion he hurts, of course he does, hurts more than anyone else... nah

Tbh I've not noticed that...I thought the moaners were mainly seasoned old gits like me! But just looking on this page we have people who joined years ago and have barely ever posted, I'm slightly amazed that being positive at a time of one of the poorest runs in our history is the thing that's got them going!

It is purely alledged or hearsay but it has been mentioned on more than one occasion and by several posters. 

it would explain a lot!

BTW I'm not ITK about this at all, just putting a few things together.
