tinman85 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Derby 3.0 up drew 3.3 Newc 2.0 up drew 2.2 Sheff Wed 2.0 up lost 3.2 Reading 2.0 up lost 3.2 Cardiff 2.1 up with 5 mins to go, lost 3.2 This does not make good reading for a team that have one of the highest spends in the Championship. If Warnock was the man in the dugout we would have won those games.

Very few expected that at HT Whether you are right or wrong about the prior games, just please, FFS, acknowledge the man and his team did well today. You don't need to like it, you don't need to like him, but now is not the time for the Warnock stick (incidentally, Neil's Cardiff lost at st James this season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC_ Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 We were never expected to take even a point so regardless of the fashion in which that point happened, LJ deserves the credit for achieving it. I'm not entirely surprised the team struggled to keep the two goal lead for 90 minutes - Wilbs is 37, Smith lacking match practice, so against a team top of the league, it's not a massive surprise to concede late in the 2nd half. One swallow doesn't make a summer however, and I've still not seen enough from LJ to have a new found belief that he's the right man to lead the club forward.

Sparkz 76 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I had us down for a 4-0 defeat so how wrong I was really pleased with a battling performance with lots of heart shown today. Well done Johnson and the boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippin cider Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I must admit I had us down for a loss today but I'm glad I was wrong .Ok we were 0-2 up and drew, but overall a much improved performance.

Phileas Fogg Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Some people really can't bring themselves to admit that Johnson did well today can they. He's got to improve an awful lot to win people back, but no one expected anything (well, apart from the inevitable draw after being ahead!) Credit where it's due. I can actually see us drawing again on Tuesday and beating Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want LJ gone and have done for some time but if he can back today up with 4 points from the next 2 games i will start to think there is hope for him and us if he stays. Over to you Lee.......

It is why we are down where we are. We should have won the game today, as we should have v Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all seen the BCFC of old; "a slight moment of optimism" always leads to complacency. We go into a losing streak, which this time, we cannot afford. The club still has issues. If they are not addressed now, it will only get worse. So, how do we say "Great game lads" but address the issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it has to be said that today was an absolutely fantastic result. Was expecting an absolute tonking if I'm honest so to get 2-2 is amazing. Still want him gone as it stands and he has a hell of lot of reparations to make in order to change that which I can't see happening and fair play if he does, but you can't argue against today in any way shape or form. Got to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 It is a shame to draw a game when 2 ahead no matter the opposition and I agree with you any other game. However today I make an exception everyone worked there socks off, we may have won had we had a replacement for Wilbs then again the spirit in the team maybe it wouldn't of.

That's the same for everyone else I know, people will always support a club over a manager. Ridiculous to think otherwise. I don't think he's a 'messiah' either - I just object to people refusing to give him any credit whatsoever (just because they don't like him) after a very good result today.

RumRed Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I still want LJ out but that was still a flipping amazing point in our current position, typical City. Wasn't at the game but sounded a completely different proposition to the end of the Derby game, be interested in the views of those that saw both. Wilbs sounded immense as captain. Onwards and upwards COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That implies that every result is determined only by our own actions and gives no credit to the opposition who are also trying to influence the game. On some occasions it may be true, but today I believe we drew because we were playing a good side, not because we "threw it away". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
