Yes, but that was probably the first time he had see us all season.

I've wanted LJ to leave since January but, up until now, have had confidence in him and the board's integrity and good intentions.

However I feel pretty confident in saying that:

1. If LJ doesn't resign tomorrow, it gives the lie to the idea that he's someone who cares about the future of our club.

2. If SL doesn't sack LJ tomorrow, those who think he is personal feelings ahead of the club will be entirely vindicated.

Let's hope for a departure by mutual consent. 

I predict a deafening silence. 

[Chairman Mao]

The guy is a fraud, i hope to meet him on the street and give a piece of my mind

Johnson out

[ChippenhamRed]

I always try to offered a balanced view, avoid knee jerk reactions and generally tend towards optimism when posting on here. But this is an absolute disgrace. Teams fighting relegation are supposed to do just that; fight. Disgusted.

I hope to good Christ this is the finally nail. Managers always go after a heavy loss. 

Please lord. 

End this suffering. 

Johnson won't go, regardless of what happens. I've said it before but this is the single, most baffling situation I've ever known in 34 years following this club. 

Absolutely abysmal and Lansdown should hang his head at the utter failure he's overseen. We'd be no worse if we were penniless. 

At least we'll have the best ground in League One.

Have the nobbers eased off now then?

I think you're right. Landsown, by continuously backing Lee, has dug himself a huge whole with this one. Sacking him now with so few games left, giving a new manager very little time will be too little too late. 

And SL would lose face - which his past record suggests he doesn't handle well...I'm thinking of the Coppell fiasco and his replacement by the far more comfortable Millen.

Absolutely shocking!

we are doomed but most of us on here knew that anyway! It just to late now to bring anyone else in, so frustrating that we just have to sit back and accept this dross, wish i didn't care so much and You could just put in the of the mind but I you do and I can't . Hate Johnson with a raging passion!

Exactly. Zero strength of character throughout the entire shower of shit.

Which proven quality manager could realistically be in before Saturday though? Or do we realistically think just by getting rid these players would suddenly turn it on?

Only people allowed to hold their head up tonight is the 312 City fans.

SOD has now gone down to second place...

[BristolRed1991]

What's the atmosphere like at the Bar & Grill...

[Fordy62]

I'm I the only one morbidly looking forward to LJ's post match comments?

[reddogkev]

LJ has to be sacked tomorrow morning.

Simply no excuses for Lansdown or the board.  If LJ is not sacked, then not one single City fan should go to the home game Saturday.

I mean not one single fan. 

But I am 100% sure SL will do the right thing tomorrow.

As of Sunday this man is out of a job. I reckon we should go all out to get him. Whatever it takes!

 

Even this guy was a better manager

Kenny Jackett.

[Curr Avon]

Only an idiot would retain Johnson after this hammering. Give the fans a chance to unite behind a short term coach. Wilbs for 6 games, assisted by O'Neill couldn't do any worse. They're the senior pros.

I fear this may be what happens. But surely this is the point where even those most passionately convinced LJ could turn it around will realise it isn't going to happen?

It wouldn't matter. My nipper would have them competing.

None. Put wilbs or my nan in charge...

I think they've left the pitch and are in the showers , we still can't score and may even have put one into our own net .

Make Gary Owers manager, he saw weeks ago what was wrong with LJ's tactics.

Anyone could see what's wrong with his tactics, it's not difficult
