Gert Mare Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Guys.....Have you seen enough yet? Admire all your positivity but most of the anti LJ brigade have seen the writing on the wall for a long long time. We don't all hate the club and want us to lose, we don't want our glass to be half empty, we want to be filled with joy when we win (if we win) but a lot of fans and some who have seen this all before at City can't let blind faith rule our heads. This has to end tomorrow (if it hasn't already). We need to unite to show the powers that be that enough is enough. We have been more than patient in the ground but we continue to be served up the same poor performances with the same mistakes. There is no magic happening behind the scenes. This is football management at its absolute most pathetic. Woeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all over the shop, but the buck stops with the man in charge. He is the manager and has to manage, sort it out but he can't seem to be able to stop the rot and therefore he cannot manage. What he should do is resign and admit that he is not up to the job. The longer he stays all he does is destroy any chance of us staying up and that is wrong.

Guest ernie goodthing Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 All true, but if he goes, it's probably 4 or 5 games without a manager and then just 10 or fewer games left for the new man to turn it round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even big Sam admitted at Palace that the fans had every right to voice their frustrations. There is whinging for the sake of whinging but then there is genuine frustration when fans can see their beloved club going down the khazi. Our fans should be commended for their patience inside the ground, but that hasn't worked so it is now time to make a stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaning To One Side Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I really did want him to turn it around but he's completely lost the plot and fear that if he doesn't go now then any shred of credibility and respect he had will be lost completely. Really hope this doesn't become a toxic forum full of people arguing about who was right all along or he should be given more time etc. Hope we can all stay rational and grounded and have proper meaningful debate without people going too over the top.

Flagon Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Irrespective of your views on whether you want Johnson in or out, how does anyone get rid of the absolute dire mistakes we make? Tonights game was undoubtedly one of if not the worst performance this season but the 2nd goal, I mean it defies all logic. It worries me if Johnson does go that whoever comes in is left with the same Achilles heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooRya Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Very easy to blame the manager, but every single player on the pitch tonight should be ashamed of themselves. I can't believe people were applauding them at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 37 minutes ago, Flint says No said: Agree but the players really let LJ down There were some awful performances. - Geiffer. He is dog turd. Take some convincing otherwise. Palming shots out to penalty spot and kicking makes Basso look the best distributor. Don't rate at all. - Matthews. Disgusting. Ship him back tonight, whether we pay his wages or not. Get rid. Not worth having around. - Hegeler. Dreadful. Honestly think he was instructed to stand off, given Taylor's comments about them being the highest passers. Our plan seemed to me to be to mark the option not press the man. Of the rest did they ever at any point know what formation they were playing or their role in that formation? I don't think so, so I don't think he was let down. I think he confused the situation. He got it wrong - by my unprofessional eye which appears to be to stand off - and the buck lies with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Still not sure what a happy clapper is? Embarrassing tonight . No pattern of play and a team that lacks commitment and passion. Our manager should've been gone after the Forest game . He is tactically inept. Our players play with no pride in their jobs and seem not very interested in the cause, the majority would be comfortable at league one so why should they care, paid loads and gutless. It takes two to tango , we have none . We the fans have been very patient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityCiderEd Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Gutless,passionless and no organization.I would feel a bit better if the players gave it everything but that was beyond dire. Fulham made it look like a training exercise and we are now looking like a team resigned to going down. The mistakes were horrendous and you can only blame the players for that but to me we had no game plan and not once did I see a player with real desire clench his fist and say "bloody come on lets get into them". For anyone to say after tonight that they think we won't go down I suggest they have a rethink.I am getting fed up coming away from a game with the stench of defeat up my bloody nose.

Ashley Banjo? Sorry! Out of interest, I was there tonight, but I'm actually interested to hear what those who listened in the radio thought. Did it reflect how awful we were tonight? Someone on Radio Bristol tonight said were okay first half, closing them down well....really? I wanted to applaud Fulham at 90 minutes, but didn't want people thinking I was applauding City players. They were excellent, and made us look poor. I'm just glad they didn't go for the jugular - it could've been 6, 7 more. Don't go by the stats, please, they could've opened us up at will. Second half they toyed with us, still trying to play out from the back even though we had for 'forwards' trying to stop them....we still couldn't.
