We no longer have the likes of Scot Murray to tear up the wing or Noble with his skills to thrill the fans. The only two players currently who could excite us in that fashion is Eliasson and CoD but they rarely do. I do wonder if LJ is too concerned about shape and consequently puts restrictions on flair players - shackles them to keep to their responsibilities rather than allowing them to express their talents freely. Maybe there are quite a few better teams than us in this league that we fail to give credit to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I remember. A cheap punt that hasn't worked out. Better than the expensive ones. And it's probably agent provocateurs, or so self proclaimed City fans who don't ever manage to get to The Gate.

I believe this is down to the fact that the real passionate and vocal supporters go to away games and are all together and so the atmosphere is great and works as the 12th man. At Ashton Gate the singing stops in a corner of the ground, a small part of the Dolman and the South Stand. Then the singing stops when the ball is constantly played around the defence AT HOME, where we should be putting teams on the back foot, not trying to counteract whatever plan they have. Away it doesn’t matter as the expectations are not there. Ashton Gate is no longer our manor and it’s costing us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjo Red Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 People are allowed an opinion how they choose to voice it and in what context is up to them. Whether you are Johnson in or Johnson out there is no right or wrong. It is an opinion therefore nobody should be shut down. If the results and football dont improve it is Johnson out.

I suppose that if getting rid of Johnson is more important than winning games then it’s arguably a valid tactic, but as a City fan I find it exasperating, REALLY annoying - and frankly embarrassing.

winsaw Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 I am no Johnson fan but really disappointing to hear this has happened, club right to remove them, I just hope no one brings anything like that into the ground, the players really need all the support we can give during the game at the moment, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would like to think so, but I'm not so sure Banjo. At the moment I reckon there are a few ( very few, I might add) that want another defeat, if it precipitates LJ's departure. They've wanted this since the day he was appointed head coach and have been frustrated by his continually being retained despite a number of poor runs of results in the past. As Ive said, this will be a very few, as even though I think there are many fans unhappy with the team's performances of late, and LJ's over that period, the vast majority would never want to see the team lose, even if a win means LJ's further salvation.
