Sure but, you know, Cameron Jerome and all that. And we know Grabban would have chosen us ahead of Villa and on a much lower wage. Defenders are just not exciting enough for fans I fear. Nor our management it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I can’t, and won’t defend Johnson today, but that back 5 need to be kicked up the fucking arse. 5 absolutely soft as shit goals to concede, the free kick being the pick of the bunch, utterly, laughably useless from Fielding.

So you don't think Johnson should have taken off 1 of our 3 CMs for a striker when we needed a goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Certainly. But why were we in that position? because of his previous shit subs and Reid to left wing! how we were chasing a game from 4-2 up at 4-5 down could only happen under this tactically inept fool!

Dullmoan Tone Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Was against Wolves, then Sunderland, then Cardiff, then Bolton, then today. If I made this many mistakes that cost my business £80m I would not be at my desk on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we have Bristol Sport demonstrates that. A basket of money making activities. That’s all he’s after - to bask in his own fucking glory. Tin hat on but that’s how I’ve seen it for years. Nice and sunny in Edinburgh today though. To be honest, I'd have thought if it was about making money, there's shedloads of industries he'd be better off investing in rather than sport. It's fair enough to question the wisdom of the Bristol Sport idea, or whether it really works to link a load of clubs from different sports together when they have their own identities - but I honestly don't think he's in it to make money. I honestly believe he is sincere in wanting to improve the reputation of sport in the South-West. It's a valid question, though, as to whether Bristol Sport's approach is the best way to go about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I’ve defended LJ on occasion but won’t defend him today. 4-2 up with 20 mins in a must-win game at home to inferior opposition and we concede 3 more. There is simply no excuse for it. That sort of thing simply doesn’t happen under a Warnock or McCarthy-type manager. LJ was marginally in credit still with me; after that I’d say he’s back to 50:50 at best. Wouldn’t lose sleep if he went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, and we definitely needed right-back cover in January - I honestly think that would make all the difference. But I honestly think we have at least 4 and probably 7 defenders who are more than good enough for this level individually. The concern for me is things go wrong so often as a unit..

TV Tom Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 All the 9 teams above us have let in at least 10 goals fewer than us this season with the exception of Brentford, this is where our problem lies not the fact that we bring Brownhill or Taylor on and might tweak our midfield or attack slightly, defensively we are mentally weak which might be because we have a keeper who nobody has any confidence in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactically inept and he blames his defenders... Poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely believe that with a better back 5 we could have got automatic promotion. If we get big offers for Bryan and Flint then I sincerely hope we take them and use the money to buy a completely new back 5 and a proper defensive midfielder.

Not as simple as that though 86 (And yes the back four and FF were abysmal today Pisano looked like he’d been dragged off the downs as did JB at times Baker looked as if he wasn’t bothered and Flint failed to pull them together or perform himself JP hardly broke sweat and take the 2nd goal of theirs when Korey gives away possession with everyone charging forward and for the umpteenth time they are immediately threatening or goal Massive fan of Flint but him and Baker were like two strangers today or two sulking kids who weren’t talking to each other Theres clearly a lot going on under the surface and we look a shambles and a rudderless ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
