Malvern Red Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 1 hour ago, 22A said: Oh dear Leicester fans; https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/134410-bristol-city-1-0-lcfc-post-match-thread/page/8/#comments We had £95m on the bench. Never used appropriately, ever. Need to get rid of Enzo. Tbh I think the whole club needs to have a reset even the owners something is rotten and Nissan not right. I don't get what Mavididi and Fatawu are doing. We play them because we want wingers who can beat their man. Yet I can't remember either having a go. The casual complacency from the players stems from the manager and his slow, ponderous ‘style’ which was outed as one dimensional and unsustainable a long time ago. And what about man management and motivation? I see none of that from Maresca. The players just don’t seem bothered. Sloppiness everywhere. No fight or aggression or quality in the key areas. What the hell does he do with them in training?? Their reaction makes this forum seem like a united band of happy clappers 1 Quote Link to comment
Bazooka Joe Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Always happy to get a win. Good job, well done. Credit where credit's due. Just like debit, when debit's due. Manning is currently still in deficit. 2 Quote Link to comment

Today's result changes nothing. WHEN we can beat the teams that plays in a low block, then things will change. Just like the thousands of others that are not renewing?

W-S-M Seagull Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) 15 minutes ago, George Rs said: You personally said you had barely any motivation for todays game and were more excited about a haircut. Yet at the same time you were expecting us to win? Yep the logic really tracks there. Totally understand if you’re Manning out but if you aren’t going to consider both sides of the debate and give merits when they are deserved because we were somehow expecting to beat a side 35 points ahead of us, 10x the squad value, what’s the point debating in the first place. Why are you making up lies? It does your credibility no good when your making up lies about another poster. At NO point did I did I personally say I was more excited qbour a hair cut. What I said was - "An hour and a half until kick off and I'm waiting for my hair to be cut, that's how excited I am for this" At no point did I say I'm more excited about a hair cut. I don't appreciate you making up lies about me. Its not cool and says an awful lot and makes any bizarre point you're trying to make invalid as you have zero credibility.

All right, bit of a misquote my bad, doesn’t defer from my point though. And you definitely did say you had “very little motivation for todays game” yet you expected a result? Quote Link to comment

Midred Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Our two bookings were deserved but I couldn't believe they had no bookings at all. A few of their players continually made niggley fouls but there was no reaction from the referee. He had a good 20 minutes at the start but after that he was balancing up the number of fouls they could have had with the number of penalties they got away with. There were several instances in the match where our player got barged off the ball and they got the free kick! As for them continually falling over and then claiming a contact with their face! 1 Quote Link to comment
redkev Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Birmingham currently in the bottom 3 , after being 6th new manager new owners new ground in the near future , don’t get me wrong I’m totally not happy with the club / management / owners but it does sometimes make you wonder Quote Link to comment

mozo Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) 1 hour ago, Davefevs said: Yep, we got in their faces when it was appropriate to do so. We actually played with purpose. Really enjoyed. A 90-minute performance and errors were the only downside. We finally managed to get the ball infield. Jamo and Max joint motm, but very impressed with Roberts, really helps our composure on the ball. Roberts is looking the real deal, not too flashy but consistent and reliable. He doesn't rampage like Pring but makes fewer errors imo. An interesting development! He's a player we need to gametime to. Edited March 29 by mozo 4 Quote Link to comment
Offside Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Really enjoyed that. An excellent win and a good performance from City. We rode our luck with those sitters you’d normally expect Vardy to score (great saves by Max, though), but we had lots of chances, should have had a penalty and were good value for the win. 4 Quote Link to comment
Sleepy1968 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) 1 hour ago, ExiledAjax said: In a 1-0 win does MOTM ever go to anyone other than the goalscorer? I'd have said most of the defence put in better all round performances. It does, and it should when there are more deseving cases like today. But I suppose there is a case to say that it shouldve gone to a Leicester player, but noone usually picks a mom on the losing side. As long as we win, probably I'm not getting bent out of shape on the mom choice. Edited March 29 by Sleepy1968 2 Quote Link to comment

Not being swept along at all. Perhaps you might find it worthwhile reading why I reached the conclusion I have. I suspect many on here think I’m wrong. But do you know what? It ain’t nothing to do with being right or wrong, it is about expressing an opinion / judgement based on my own methods and reasons. Good for you in your view. Do you notice that I didn’t resort to belittling your opinion. If you think i am belittling you.........then your skin is a lot thinner than i have given you credit for? I am of the opinion that LM will turn out to be an excellent manager in the long term, I do not subscribe to short - termism and knee jerk reactions that seem to be the Norm. I believe in giving time and patience to someone who in my opinion has not yet had sufficient time and opportunity to make his mark. I have not posted for sometime on the forum, as i am sick to death of the constant negativity and criticism of the club and management. I am a supporter of Bristol City FC, and i WILL criticise when appropriate, but the constant ongoing demeaning of LM is pointless, as he will be sticking around for quite some time yet. I am not completely oblivious to his faults and mistakes, but I sincerely believe that given time and opportunity he will prove to be a success. Only time will tell if i am right....or a misguided fool. You are welcome to put your money down on the outcome? Edited March 29 by maxjak 6 Quote Link to comment

Swede Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Pleasantly surprised today! He set up well AND was coaching through the match! We competed well. Played Knight in his best position also which reaped rewards. You can't underestimate the importance of Matty James, just plays it nice and simple. I thought George Tanner had his best game for us as well. That's the marker for Monday and now on. It's now up to Manning to replicate and improve on that performance. I am still not convinced by him but credit where credit's due today. 3 Quote Link to comment

It’s not about thinness / thickness of skin, WTAF. I’m just trying to explain the tone of your posts. Your opinion…cool. It’s different to mine. Marvellous. Did you read what I put about it’s not about being right or wrong. Am I supposed to respond in a similar vain to you by undermining your view my saying you’re indecisive, non-analytical, etc, just because you have a different view? No, because it’s your view, and you’re entitled to it. I stand behind by rationale. I’m a Bristol City fan too. You can stand by your view on its own merits. A bet? How old are you?

Dastardly and Muttley Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Such a strange result and performance. Delighted to have won and to see Mehmeti do well again - there’s a player there. But, can’t help but feel that was the worst thing that could have happened for the long-term future of the club. Massively unconvinced by Manning and do not believe he’s the man to take us forward. This win almost guarantees he’ll be there next season and will probably be given the nest egg to waste this summer. Especially as this was a win where Leicester could easily have scored 3/4 (deservedly). And remember, this is a Leicester team which has also recently lost to QPR… Strange feeling. Delighted to win, but just worried. 1 Quote Link to comment
