Kibs Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 As bad as we’ve been, we had 2 very good chances at 1-2. Got to take them. In terms of the performance though, shambolic is not too harsh a word. The subs were bizarre and I’m not sure why he had to see another 15 minutes of dross before making them. We’ve put ourselves in such a good position but we are just so timid and tentative in everything we do. Why aren’t we going for it? Why are we so slow and laborious in possession? Why are we so static? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Big, powerful and physical team roll us over yet again at home. That was awful. No cohesion, no identity, woeful passing and patterns ...looked like a bunch of strangers. Lumping it up like a Conference side. In training, do we work in small groups so players understand each other’s movements, thoughts and styles? Dasilva, Fammy the only two to get more than a ‘5’ for me.

Can’t blame Johnson for half a dozen players being anonymous Yes we can. He picks the team Sets them up. Imposes his tactics on the opposition Or reacts as the situation demands. Rabbit in headlights whenever it comes on top. Explain his approach to a home game against very moderate opposition Again and explain the timing and nature of his subs. Thing is it won't be his fault. Cue aubergine shit piles and snakes I could not care a ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Great effort! When did we last see City run this much putting pressure on the opponents? We clearly wen't for it but all the effort was for nothing. Birmingham was the better team. We rode the luck for four games but now the honeymoon is over. We have no game plan. Static, static, still standing and then a hopeful long ball or at the best an Eliasson cross. Hopefully Henriksen can boss a game. If not this was the ultimate answer.

Cidre Monita Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 How much support has LJ been given . Time, players, the biggest budget if a non parachute club, and we have we have one shot on target at home. When does he actually become accountable to some fans ? I simply do not get it. We are awful to watch at home. He has every tool, every club, all the time, so m any players, yet we look totally devoid of any plan, approach, strategy. Oh, and we are certainly not developing a youth strategy are we. It is not about promotion, we just do not look like a club that is clear in what it is trying to achieve. I personally am not that interested right now about the Prem, but I want to see our youth coming through, playing in a modern , entertaining and enthralling fashion. LJ has been given it all, and clearly has not got a clue. He blames the players all the time, stetted to blame Sl and MA for lack of support. He is out of excuses. I know many love him and think he is the best thing ever to happen to the club, but I am sorry, he is the biggest blagger ever seen. With the resources we have, what has been spent, wow what a top quality coach cold achieve with that. Time to Sl spends on the coaching set up. We are a good call. We can attract some major coaching talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your last sentence is it in a nutshell. I get people are angry because of another poor home performance but I don’t get why some built this game up so much in the first place. This is the Championship, you can’t pick and choose when and where the points arrive, and the only table that matters is the one after 46 games. If we’re anything below sixth at that point, I think the head coach has a real problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlastonburyRed Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I really want LJ to succeed, but how do you justify leaving in NW on the bench, and having AW play for the whole 90. There must have been a good argument to start the Norwegian lad as well. That's not hindsight, that's what I was thinking when I saw the team containing all the regulars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
