SStandUp Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Few topics around this subject already. So apologies. But I think this is so important to rally home to fans. So many fans have alternative opinions regarding City. But one thing we have in common is the love for this club. If we don't win tomorrow, we are in massive trouble - the relegation battle would almost be down to 4 clubs. Im fed up of reading things along the lines of "if we lose, Johnson will be sacked and we have a better chance of staying up". Bo**ocks! Surely the people coming out with this, don't truly wanna see us lose in the hope their opinion (risk) is proved right! We, as fans, can play a massive part tomorrow. It's a chance to show what a set of supporters we are by creating an atmosphere and rallying behind the players for the full 90 (despite our horrendous form). For me if I'm honest, we don't get this enough at AG! Even if we go a goal behind, we must continue to back the players, even if you don't believe in the reason your cheering! This club is bigger than any manager, player or opinion. And tomorrow's result is massive for the future of this football club. The 3 points tomorrow is the only thing people should be worrying about tomorrow. At the very least, as fans, we have to stick together! Please!

Globe Trotter Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Absolutely right. Win tomorrow, confidence for Tuesday, beat Wigan and the whole thing looks different. Even then, LJ is probably not the man for the job but let's reasses at the end of the season; SL won't change it now if he didn't after Cardiff and Fulham so let's get behind the players more than ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions on Lee Johnson shouldn't be relevant tomorrow. It's not about him, it's about Bristol City. And as fans, who will be here long after Johnson, we have a part to play tomorrow!

Guest Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 The fans didn't put the club in this dire position and they wont get the club out of it, if we go 1 down all hell will break loose; I happen to think we could well win tomorrow but it will solve nothing just put it off for another day.

How can that not be relevant tomorrow? This isn't a Johnson in or out thread. So don't make it that. It was simply to emphasis the role the fans could potentially play tomorrow. And when I say Johnson isn't relevant. I don't mean on the grand scheme of themes he's not. But tomorrow, the sole focus should be on 3 points for the football club. Fans can't go into the game with the mindset "hopefully we lose so that'll be the end of Johnson". That mind set from the fans is a recipe for disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up the City x I agree but with the greatest of respect the fans have done nothing but set out to support the team in all games on a couple of occasions City and Johnson have been that bad that a usually supportive bunch made their feelings known. If city are losing tomorrow expect Johnson to hear the displeasure his failure has created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as fans have done our bit home and away thanks. I can see what the the problem is along with many other fans, I have had no formal training in coaching or man management but I honestly believe given the backing Johnson has had this and last season I could have achieved similar results.

Our home support isn't great, let's not kid ourselves. I remember we were sitting in 8th this season and we were 0-0 with Blackburn at HT and the crowd booed the team off. Let's not get too carried away with how great our support is/ isn't. The position we are in is nothing to do with the fans. All I'm saying is tomorrow we give everything we've got and make Ashton Gate like it can be/ should be. Me starting this thread wasn't a dig at the fans in previous games, nor was it about Johnson in or out. It's about how we can play our part tomorrow! Can we all agree on that? That the fans couple potentially/ hopefully play a part in is getting 3points tomorrow! You honestly feel you could do a batter job yeh? Mate we're not playing FIFA.

Garland-sweden Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Im with ForeverRes about the game tomorrow. Its not my opinion about LJ, its about avoid relegation. Ok, the season have been shit, but its not over jet, or yet. Jet was a special player by the way. So I really hope that it will be bounce at Ag. Dreamcenario we play well and win 3-0. But mainthing we win and the crowd is behind the team. We swedes are planning to come over and see the QPR game, hope that we have had some wins until then. Will be listening and be nervous tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Coyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point personally is , I've done my bit as a fan home and away, the people that haven't are in fact the players and coaches ( not just LJ ) so it grates my teeth a little when people say we as fans need to cheer on the boys . If the 11 selected tomorrow aren't good enough to get a result then I'm sorry that's not my fault. The blame lies squarely at the feet of Johnson and Lansdown . I've done my bit I bought the season ticket , I travelled away to places like Forest where I witnessed inept performances bordering on scandalous I made the effort to turn up that day sadly my team did not , so please if you are going to make a call to arms direct towards the people who are quite frankly failing at the job they're paid for.

Mate, I respect that! But it wasn't my point. The last thing we need is an atmosphere like Fulham. Because that will do no one any favours. It needs to be positive. We can only do our best.
