Barrs Court Red Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Woke my teenage daughter up so she can ready for her game. Between the outraged grunts I heard a “I dont want to go”. Luckily I’ve had an ace card to play - “if we don’t go, that means we go to City”… Never seen her get ready for football so quickly 1 17 Quote Link to comment
Swede Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Has to be a much improved front foot performance and a win to halt the slide. Nothing less. I am asking a lot but having put up with so much 5hite with top six squad bull from the top, behaviours and being turned over by by dross. Yet again I will be looking at his in game management. I am looking for passion, purpose and motivation. All words that you wouldn't associate (currently) with our head coach, but if he reads this on OTIB, I hope he has a word with himself. 8 Quote Link to comment

Sadly no longer with us. Thats it then, off I go again. This time we’ll all be rewarded with a fine win against the Welsh……….or maybe a draw. Quote Link to comment
WeAreThePigs Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Big game today, let’s be positive please, I fancy us today. If it all goes pear shaped then Manning in trouble but let’s get behind them. 4 Quote Link to comment

With kids games kicking off at 10:30, 12:30 or 14:00 there is no hope of anyone involved getting to Ashton. Quote Link to comment

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Mother's Day is May 12th here, my mother passed away decades ago so haven't celebrated for a long time. Hope everyone's Mothers have a good day and City win well. Come On You Reds! 5 Quote Link to comment
wendyredredrobin Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 (edited) There will be a lot of boo-ing if we lose 5 on the trot and it will be highly likely that we will be questioning whether Bernard Manning is actually up to the job. After all, it's his tactics that seem to be causing the problem (or lack of any tactics). The bottom 3 are looking very close now. Next years season cards not on sale yet either - I wonder why that is !!! Edited March 10 by wendyredredrobin 1 Quote Link to comment

Because nothing screams "toxic" more than a lunchtime Sunday kick off at Ashton Gate. Maybe someone will shout a rude word at Lansdown? Not exactly La Bombonera, is it? 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment

I can’t work out if section82 are happy clappers or not. Surely they need to get things going. Edited March 10 by Shauntaylor85 1 Quote Link to comment
Shauntaylor85 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 We will win today. Swans are naive and play a style we are comfy with. Will paper over cracks and Tinnion will be back on X. 1 Quote Link to comment

Any of those things in isolation wil impact attendance, let alone all 4 combined! Quote Link to comment

Topper 123 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 You find that as the crowd will be effected by Mother’s Day the die hard will still be there and with the moaners missing the atmosphere gets better 1 Quote Link to comment

Only time I saw Ashton Gate La Bombonera style was when Roberts scored in the last minute in the playoffs and the Dolman visibly moved. Quote Link to comment

BCFC Rich Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 2nd game I've been able to get too since moving back to the UK. Last one was Southampton so for a similar performance and result. Quote Link to comment
Ashton Fete Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Such a key game now, win and the losing run ends, enough distance between us and the bottom 3 to not make it a nervous end to the season and who knows perhaps a chance for a positive end of the season….lose and we are 100% in a relegation fight with the losing run and games to come Here’s hoping for a thumping home win Quote Link to comment

We'll do well to get a point out of this game. Going to be a tough game, would love a win to set us up for next Saturday but I think a draw will probably be the outcome. Is the away allocation sold out? I somehow doubt it. Reckon it could be our lowest gate of the season in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment
