Chairman Mao Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 There is one quote in that Lansdown interview that says it all "If a team can't win 1-0 they won't survive" Aside from Rotherham is there any team we would back ourselves to keep a clean sheet at the moment? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that post, but really don't like what it means. That is an unbelievable amount of points, Im shocked, really shocked how crap we have become. How anyone can keep their job with that return is beyond me. Shameful it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let it worry you though; we're not in the relegation zone, we're only losing by one goal in most games and SL said he wont let the work 'go to waste'. Nothing to worry about.

RumRed Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'd like to know what the players really think, they've a short career and must have some professional pride and wouldn't want to be associated with this seasons capitulation? I understand that it's a job and not necessarily a love for the club that gets them on the pitch but surely they must be hurting. I've had a job I've loved, and was good at, in the past that my line manager screwed up so badly the entire team was made redundant. I can't believe LJ can have that many supporters left in the dressing room, I'd be livid in their position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Having seen Blackburn and Fulham play this weekend it has done nothing to ease my fears...........in fact they have increased. Even Burton are stepping up to the plate; LJ has to get "lucky" with his team selection for us to get anything Weds. He seems to have brought players randomly from anywhere, just like his dad did at the end, and seems lost. Point of no return was xmas when SL decided to stick with his boy, we now go with what we have, we are going to have to battle for every second to survive. We are giving away points as though they are sweets, the 3-0 surrender just about says it all. We have some good players but no team yet (Villa have found that as well) clock is well and truly ticking we are at this time looking like we are GOING DOWN.

As you know Rum - I'm all for moving Lee on But some of those players have little to shout about with their individual performances this year For them , the head coaches part may be some mitigation but not a full excuse Footballers are notorious for 'shifting the blame' onto anything and anyone they can Unfortunately LJ has , in their eyes ,given them an easy excuse / something to blame to excuse their own performances Time some of them got their arses in gear too !!

... Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Just put £50 on Lee being Championship Manager of the Month for February. I stand to win £2,015,794.03p if he comes good for me, AND Nicola Sturgeon and Teressa May come out as an item before midnight on 28th Feb. I don't usually do accumulators, but £2M is too good to turn down. tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that fitted into their project…plus he has a soft sport for LJ (which makes it a worse decision, in my eyes). When you say 'Soft spot'...do you actually mean, found someone he liked and thought he could work with Professionally? Someone he thought he could work with, and had conversations with over the years, on the way forward for the Club and how they could go about a 'project' together, with a mutual respect? Which is what I think has happened...and imo, makes sense...in any business. For everyone that say's sack LJ...they have no idea of which manager would come in and work within the blueprint the Club has set down. We are not a Club like Cardiff who appointed Warnock...and said 'Get on with it'. We have a blueprint of how we will work. Any new manager has to agree to work within those confines. Surely if the Club were to let LJ go, it would make sense to do some due diligence and be talking to perspective managers that agree to the concept? Maybe they already have. However...I think if SL was going to get rid of LJ he would have done it many weeks before the transfer window. I really don't think LJ is going anywhere, and I suggest fans think that through and try to understand it. Calling for him to be sacked after every defeat...frustration, or not understanding the situation the Club have chosen to take? IMO...he isn't going anywhere...regardless of results.

Defeat after defeat has been the point of no return, but still he's here. I beleive that no matter how City play for the remainder of the season, and even if we go down, SL will stick with him. It will be a press conference at the end of the season where SL says he believes LJ is the man to get us promoted back into the Championship. LJ will then be sacked in November This is strange - upon LJ's appointment I felt we would limp badly through this season and he would get sacked in Autumn of 2017 after a poor start to next season too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud, only Bristol City could have a master plan that involves getting a manager you ( or shall we say Mr Lansdown for sake of argument) can work with, get yourself relegated from the Championship so that he can prove himself in Lge 1 and bring us back up to where we originally started a few years before. Absolutely brilliant .
