headhunter Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Join us live on You Tube & X @ 6.00 PM as we discuss a game that, until Rob Dickie's well taken winner, was memorable for the most poorly executed corner routine I've seen in 50 years and a delinquent sprinkler which delayed the start of the 2nd half. City DID improve in the 2nd half and deserved the points but with young coaching aficionados Luke Williams & Liam Manning in the technical areas it was not pretty to watch. Swansea seemed to stick with their processes and contain their emotions even after going behind by showing no desire to chase for an equalizer. The published crowd was just short of 21k but I reckon the in person count was barely 16k - this does not auger well for the upcoming season ticket renewal period 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 25 minutes ago, headhunter said: There was a lot of agreement and reasoned debate where there was conflict Can you confirm how many people have asked to come on the pod since you came on here and said anyone is welcome? A rough estimate is fine as I'm sure it's loads given the number that come on here and say how taking apart Ian's arguments would be as easy as kicking snow off a piece of rope. Like I say, I'm sure it's too many to count, but a rough estimate would be interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The indisputable evidence was that it IS Mother's Day today and the match took place at lunchtime when most families are out together, but I should have known that only negative comments are allowed on the forum these days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Bristolians must love their mothers much more than Brummies. The Aston Villa v Spurs match kicked off just 30 minutes later and from pictorial evidence the stadium looked fairly packed.

There will be a bigger crowd against Leicester because it’s Good Friday, they will bring a load and people will come out to see us play Leicester. However the last 3 home games are Blackburn midweek, Huddersfield and Rotherham. Play like we did for the first 65 minutes today, plus more bad results in between and I wouldn’t blame anyone for saying that they might have something more exciting to do instead of going to Ashton Gate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Amazed that anyone would take playing like we did today just to get 16 home wins. More to life than watching god awful football 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And therefore I’m guessing we need to get to 16 wins on the Gay-ometer, because he said that Nige getting 15 wins last season was crap / sackable because he got 15 wins the season before….completing ignoring that we lost less and drew more, ie we improved overall (55 pts to 59 pts). So 16 wins but less than 59 points is better? Hmmmmm!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 16 wins but less than 59 points is better? Hmmmmm!!! The question was based on 'home wins'...ie would we accept watching 'rubbish football' for 16 home victories. Only Burnley and Sheffield United achieved that last season btw. Unfortunately, the reality is if you play rubbish football, you don't win many games full stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 A good open discussion as usual. I didn’t see or listen to the game so can’t comment on that. Don’t really know what to add…the whole bloody club is a mess Up the City! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 16 wins but less than 59 points is better? Hmmmmm!!! Yes, Ian posed the question but I don't think it was made with a "Pearson bashing" intent. I took it that it was against a background of not achieving a double digit number of home wins for several seasons and would we accept seeing boring but winning football that produced a play off securing position? I cited the example of the Danny Wilson era [year on year improvement each season he was here] when in 02/03 Wigan secured the League 1 title with a dour, defensive style and many narrow 1-0 victories. Wilson had always played an expansive style and I seem to recall reading that he changed approach to be more defensive in 03/04 which saw us reach, but fail, in the play off final. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to life than watching god awful football First time I've ever been shouting at the phone e in favour of IG. Just answer the question Neil !!!!! It's a hypothetical would you happy watching 16 games of dull turgid football and accept a 1-0 win each time. No context needed. I'm with Ian, no I wouldn't watch it . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
