Curr Avon Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 In the real world a side that suffered 16 defeats in 23 matches, and only avoiding the relegation zone on goal difference would dismiss their head coach. Sadly, our Board don't live in the real world, and reside in an alternative reality called The Project. So it's Johnson for the season. To our wonderful fans the world over let's inspire the team to Championship safety. We're the club's only hope right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Unfortunately, we'll only keep LJ in his job for a repeat next season. I really don't want that either. LJ is becoming the smarmy young upstart management type where all his colleagues take the piss when he isn't around to hear it and he believes his own buzzword rhetorical nonsense. Just can't stand him being around any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I believe the fans have been quite brilliant during this disgraceful run and their reward was criticism from our owner, next season he might find out about running the highest wage budget in the best stadium in league 1 without many thousands of those fans, because I believe he has not for the first time drastically misjudged the real mood amongst the fans.

What a complete **** up. Personally, I still think MK Dons stadium is better so, for me at least, we'll have the second best. That, hopefully, will ease a little of my pain.

MarkRed! Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I am afraid that we are going down. It is car crash viewing and it's being allowed to happen by MA and SL. I am not going against Burton after tonights piss poor showing...I cannot put up with LJ's crap football and tactics anymore.I can't afford to keep going and hoping... Worse still, I cannot bear to be in the ground if, god forbid, we lose to Burton... i suspect it will get nasty... The board have failed to act decisively and have been complicit in our certain relegation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkz 76 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Any other result apart from a win will result in LJ departure especially if Blackburn send us into the bottom 3. SL said he expects LJ to be in charge for the Burton game but would not comment beyond that. 1st rule of engagement don't employ friends.LJ could have been sacked from 2 clubs from this horrendous run we have been on. SL it's not too late we still have 12 games left act NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only atmosphere I would describe as very good since the rebuild was Swindon at home in the double winning season. That's worrying. The club doing a bit more to help our vocal fans would help, starting with giving them a better position in the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishRed Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 3 hours ago, RumRed said: I can't believe MA hasn't walked to be honest, If, and it is a big if, LJ goes Ashton should be right behind him. It is becoming clear that both are completely out of their depth at this level and have got here through 'smarm and power points'. I work in the world of corporate bollocks and I am old enough to know it when I see it! Both can do the talking but can't deliver where it matters - on the pitch. I am angry that we are in this situation and the owner is blindly carrying on. As I have said previously we could get very lucky and survive with LJ in charge but the reality is that if that happens we will be in exactly the same position next year. I hugely doubt that LJ will ever be able to manage at this level successfully and he should never have been given the job. For the sake of his career he would be wise to walk now but of course that won't happen. Saturday is not going to be fun, Burton, quite rightly, will believe they can get something and should they score first 'toxic' could be an understatement.

ploppy Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 After the last few away games the club doesn't deserve us as a fanbase. I was at Derby and we were so loud that day. Sounds the same at Newcastle. Selling out any club on a Tuesday night is also a massive achievement. The players deserve nobody to turn up for them but I'm glad it's the opposite situation.

Engvall's Splinter Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 The fans have been unbelievable and supportive to the players despite this diar run. We are going down with zero fight. Reminiscent of Johnsons playing days. No penetrarion, busy doing nothing, lack of energy and no end product. What a bloody stupid appointment. Fair play to the fans I say.

I'm reminded of a brilliant one liner (of hundreds) from the mouth of the character Malcolm Tucker, played by Peter Capaldi, in the BBC political comedy, The Thick Of It. This slightly edited version perfectly describes the on-field management of Bristol City: "We're like that coffee machine. From bean to cup, we **** up!"

It may be that we're stuck in a time loop, that keeps resetting to January 2013. You've entered the O'Dreadful Zone. DON'T LOOK AT THE TABLES!
