He'll be here until we get the funds together to go for someone much much better. We genuinely could face relegation before that, maybe not this season but based on performances and hours they are getting worse and worse there is only so many seasons we can ride our luck. We actually have a solid squad who should be top 10 without any effort but we don't play to our players strengths at all, we just keep trying to go back to something that worked in league one with the right players or we try something that sees multiple players playing out of their comfort and it shows a lot. If we're going to just stick with a yes man who is clueless then take the £2m for Famara as he's not going to be make the difference we need, we may aswell stop buying "experienced players" too because it means nothing to have experience if the decision maker doesn't have any himself.

This is correct I am afraid. After an initial statement of “I am different, and I am honest”. He is a bit boring. Also says very little. Does not seem to know if we are signing anyone or how our injured players are. Boring might be harsh. I would currently file him away as “Monotonously Dour”. I also get the sense that through years of coaching badges and being an assistant at our cosy club, he has the air of someone who thinks he has a masterplan that no-one else sees or would understand - but does not know what it is or how to achieve it himself.

Their over control over the club. I believe they want someone with a weak backbone and won't kick up a fuss when told no. SL doesn't get along well with big personalities. DH & LJ are good yes men as they are happy to work with their system. I'm sure they'll be looking for a similar fit if DH were to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 We have been lucky this season....used it all up v Huddersfield and its run out today. Thats it,seasons over, Febs games will make todays seem like a walk in the park. Some will still hope for various heros to come forward/back from injury etc and not cut the hope cord just yet, thats up to them. Vast trimmings of our squad will occur in summer and if Dean does go, another like minded manager will arrive and the roundabout will turn again never going anywhere....This is The Way...The Bristol City The SL Way.

Astounding really when you look at the players involved in the last two games that collectively they have managed 4 shots on target against poor opposition. Comes down to how they are being inspired and set-up. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I believe Holden should be given the chance for this season certainly. End of the season take stock and act accordingly, that's when everyone needs to be judged.

Sorry but disagree with this. Otherwise no managers would lose their jobs mid-season! If anything we are on a steady decline and getting worse. Our last three league wins have been an odd goal late struggle v Wycombe, a good win against an albeit oddly poor Preston and a 2-1 backs against the wall “victory from a battering” against 14th placed Huddersfield.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Lansbury surely won't be on £40k per week here- the market has changed significantly since March. That aside, we would surely be more cohesive with less players out- Holden can't be blamed for that, check the injury thread and games missed- think it's one of the worst in the Division. Even so, we set up poorly and we often do- could we have tried, could we try something different? Always wondered if Wells and Semenyo might be a pair worth a go, horses for courses a bit some games- our setup gives us neither control or stability IMO.
