I still support the lads, they are my team, and whatever SL, LJ and MA do is beyond my control. I understand all the talk about 'DNA', football today, business, etc., but I think sometimes too much emphasis is put on this and the 'creative spark' is lost.

BRISTOL86 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 As I've put it before - I support the club and not just the current custodian of it.

If you don't get that feeling you have to question why you go at all (not aimed at the OP just in general) I have fifty years under my belt and I have questioned my own sanity on many occasions. From Northampton to Bradford from Plymouth to Peterborough from Gillingham to random shit tip You are correct in managers players etc come and go and the fans are constant. The constant is we will never be anything less than City fans, but if anyone thinks 18-24k will be attending next season without a dramatic change then they are deluded. Why would anyone in their right mind hand over cash to watch this. Many who have season tickets will not bother next home game and many more that do will be waiting for the stupidity that will cost us the game. Yes the major shareholder needs to show leadership and he has by backing his man against overwhelming evidence, but as the bloke said on another thread we are now officially 1 point better off than last season despite spending multi millions, with no clear pattern or discernible way forward.

Well things can change. For instance the 13 games before that we won 4 of them. Again not great, but different and obviously (slightly) better. Just because our last few months have been bad results, doesn't mean the next few will repeat it but of course it doesn't mean it will automatically get better. Bringing in a new manager doesn't guarantee anything either, in fact the only thing it would guarantee is that it'll bring an end to yet another recent managerial spell and all the planning and work over the last 12 months will be passed on to another new guy who will likely want things their own way. We were in a worse position last season and the guy people want out now managed to turn it around and keep us up so is it that bizarre to have a little bit of faith in him now?

Sometimes a manager/head coach can't build a team. They do well with another persons squad but as soon as they start to bring in their own players you realise they don't actually know what they are doing.

It's not like an injury crisis has forced his hand. The selections are his, the vast majority of players are his signings. He has a vast array of players he can pick in his 442 or variant. Just do that. Stop the experiments (or guesswork). Believe it or not, I don't think he's as bad a head coach as he's currently demonstrating.

Tom Fleuriot Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 In my time supporting City (almost thirty years), most of that time we have been in the third tier (or if in the second tier, crap). Johnson is clearly not doing very well at all. We should not be complacent about the real risk of relegation. We have clearly failed to build on momentum. It is galling to see teams who used to be considered useless now generally seen as stronger clubs than us. And of course, I'd rather we were winning the Prem with a first XI made up of players from Redcliffe, Or even just winning some bloody matches with a coherent style. But I can handle plenty more seasons in League One. I think some people really need to get a grip. You support Bristol City for Christ's sake.

I really don't think that taking a sober approach to the club's fortunes causes it to fail. Or that taking a despairing approach to failure drives it forwards.

Depressing thought aint it? Especially since Rovers are in that division Sadly as it stands I can see that happening. We have a manager that has no clue what he is doing and seems an expert at throwing away leads regardless how big and a board that's just as clueless cus they have their heads firmly buried in the sand.
