I’ve always stuck by and said you can’t judge Holden with all the injuries. But after that I’d say he’s under pressure to save his job, with Watford and Reading next league games too. 

I agree. That was woeful.

Id love to know the reasoning behind getting the tombola out and starting Lansbury and Williams in a game of that importance to fans

A rejuvenated Sheffield Utd in the cup midweek as well, so that’s going to be 7 straight defeats at least.

Its almost as if Johnson never left.

Always a big call to say that but really woeful this afternoon. In terms of effort and organisation up there with the 6-0 thrashing by Cardiff in GJs time - players not appearing to care about the result and not playing for the manager.

I think we may have attacked a bit in that game, but got blown away. Today was just so so bad, and limp. How many would’ve that Cardiff team put on us today!?

It's often mooted as the top or 2nd best 2nd tier in Europe- I digress, it certainly can be a bit basic at times.

Reminded me of some of those League One games in the mid 2000's though, not Wilson we were quite good under him, thinking shades of Tinnion.

He shouldn't be sacked. he should resign. How can he put his name to that. Thing is its the same almost every game. What must SL be thinking?

He should be thinking why don’t I ever appoint a manager like mick McCarthy

I am not sure SL is thinking anything. Football is no longer the focus of Bristol Sport.

Thought he did early in the season when we were quality

When were we quality?

I only wish we had an interview with the balls to do that. But i am not pining my hopes after listening to the interviews these reporters do.

They know they won't get access if they dare to ask tough questions. Only Twentyman is in a position to do so. Maybe twice a season.

[City_USA]

Boring, turgid and insipid. Why do I put myself through this?

[Cidre Monita]

No point changing Holden if you don't change Ashton, that was his team out there , the team he assembled. 

[mossey]

Right it’s a point for every comment that predict  he’s going to say in his interview,

we  regroup and go again.

 

ha! Players just aren’t happy with what and how they’re being asked to player, they have no confidence in the manager.

 

[sh1t_ref_again]

The only thing DH can come out and say that I will believe is

Sorry I gave it a go, I thought I could get the tesm playing good football but it has not worked out, so I resign and will stay in place until my replacement is found.

Keeping a crap Head a Coach just because the next one might be even worse is the incredible logic

 

Entirely possible under the Lansdowns , but the logic of the backward

LJ wasn't crap. He just didnt have enough to get us to the next level.

Norwich, Swansea, Brentford? Even sides like Blackburn, Barnsley, QPR can be decent to watch. 

We are just seeing woeful every week!

IMO injuries can only be used as an excuse if you have a good tactical plan that is weakened by lesser players coming in to fill in over a period of time. We have no plan but injuries aside have still had 12/14 good championship players to choose from over the past few months. Personally injuries is a very poor excuse for our football since Late October.

[redcherryberry]

RobinsTV commentator - “City lacking any rhythm and/or cohesion today” 

Been like this all season ffs. Outside of this we can’t even get the basics right, especially today!!!

And that will be the last time I spend a tenner watching that.

I will not be renewing my season ticket until ashton or holden have left.

 yep. me to.  that was pitiful.

Kalas, Mawson and Hunt,

No build up play.... just punt,

no tactics, no clue, we’re playing like poo,

Mark Ashton is a *** 

Cant have kalas and Mawson together, too similar and always last ditch.

Vyner and Mawson for me.

It was lies like the full flowing attacking football promised. Hope season tickets are halved at least when allowed back in the ground

I was delighted when LJ went, I was gobsmacked when Holden got the job.

I was surprised but not surprised. After Tinnion and Millen, you come to expect absolutely woeful Managerial decisions by our owner.

[Dr Balls]

Just now, Bassomylord said:

When were we quality? 

Exactly we weren’t. We had a few good performances and a bit of luck, but if you take out the first 4 games of the season we would be on 27 points and that would be a better reflection of what we have actually been like in the last 24 games.

Its a miracle City have garnered as many points as they have looking at all those huge majority of negatives.

It’s useful we thrive on adversity as Holdens working towards making it as adverse as it can be

Only 11 points ahead of 22nd. Not over yet

Just looking at that and where's the next point coming from.

Next 3 game Watford Reading  Barnsley

He did, a fair bit more than usual.

Funny considering that Holden is slated for not doing it, that Johnson was criticised for doing it.

That's the typical football forum/fan for you, always looking for the criticism

I'm usually fairly "rose-tinted" but fed up of wasting money on this shit.

He was crap. No decent manager can't work out their best XI 4 years into the role. 

We shouldn't have gone with the 'breath of fresh air' approach we said we would. This is a continuation of his regime. 

[BCFC Grim]

Just now, JonDolman said:

Obviously were not watching when we won those early games. No point in pretending we were crap when we weren't really is there. But if you want to then that's up to you.

He didn't say we were crap. He just questioned when we were quality. I certainly can't remember much quality. Stoke away maybe. Even then we couldn't keep the ball?

When have we been quality?

Well that's not what I said but there's no guarentee we'll get someone better! Especially if the problems lie underneath the surface as many on here say

Could we possibly get anyone worse
