Even LJ admitted they needed to be warriors tonight; and they were. everyone bust a gut, closed and harried but you had to be there to see the quality of the football. No-one wanted to pass the ball. Sorry you dont like honesty. I took my 7 year old girl, sang my heart out and clapped everyone off the pitch - as I always do. That does not take away from my honest analysis of the game. Actually, you didn’t “have to be there” to see it. Not anymore, now it’s televised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also with subsequent comments on battling by LJ and MT, it has put the tactics into context. Even saying that, it was a awful game apart from the goals. Just watched the highlights and reconfirmed my initial thoughts. No doubt the game wasn’t easy on the eye but it doesn’t say on the results page how the game was won. All you’ll see is QPR 0 Bristol City 3 The tactics employed by LJ were spot on. That said, ( not being as perceptive as BobBobSuperBob ) I didn’t realise what was happening till around the 20min mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great that there will be more televised games as I cannot get to many away games. I’m away at Devon cliffs this weekend, so didn’t have the WiFi quality to subscribe to last nights game. As I understand it, it’s only one camera coverage, but better than nothing. Not that I’m a fan of it. I’m not a fan of any televised football, that stops people attending matches.

Was like watching most the way up sat on the half way line, HD camera would have been nice but it was good enough and got a good view of what was going on around play as they didn't zoom in too far.

Tried to calibrate it to RB commentary but the two second lag did for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to sinc it as City we’re forming a wall and the ref walked up to it just as it said on RB so I thought it was calibrated just as RB said Maenpaa had saved it. Two seconds later he saved it again on the tv! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it amazes me that they exist at all, but it’s a weird thing I guess I have to adopt as a City fan. Johnson out - after a 3-0 win away - how dare he - we were on for some sort of a record of away defeats (I think) - now we will have to come up with some other bizarre stat to discredit him. Perhaps the boos from this game were not from the QPR fans at all - it was the City away fans who wanted a defeat in order to strengthen their argument to get LJ out unbelievable Did you go ? Genuine question because I didnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireSection Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 13 hours ago, firstdivision said: You are correct, of course, in one way. It was a desperate game, a sort of rugby football match. But, as others have pointed out, it was intentional. LJ changed his tactics and they worked. A pragmatic, unglamorous appproach to the position the team was in after Saturday. Sometimes it has to be done. Let’s hope he can find a more eye-catching balance in future. If it's all the same, I'll take more of the same and promotion at the end of a boring, but pragmatic season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was dire - maybe due to QPR ‘spoiler’ tactics? Who knows - we’ve played prettier football and lost, so I’m delighted with the win, the 3 points and a Loftus Road hoodoo ghost put to bed - what is there to be miserable about?

Of course the fans wouldn’t boo a victory - nobody would still be miserable after 3 away points, would they? ..... only on here perhaps!!!! Proud my response has been noticed though.....
