EmersonsKev Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Not sure if its been mentioned since yesterday, i am sorry if it has. Just that i would like to say that Gary Johnson coming out and doing a pre match huddle just infront of the city fans with the players was an excellent piece of management. Got all us City fans making noise, I'm sure all he has to say to the players when the roar went up was go and win it for them. From start to finish we were spurring the players on with loud vocal support and they responded with a good performance even though the score line flattered Walsall.

EmersonsKev Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I counted about 5 old bill in the away section. Looks like they were on advice by top brass to keep there heads down.I would say about 1500/1800 city fans, great noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 One of the things that impressed me with Johnson was at his first game at Brentford.The City players were all warming up around the centre circle with all the City fans congregated behind the goal.Johnson got the players into a huddle and then they all came down to the City fans and gave us all a clap.He had noticed that there was a gulf between the players and fans after a poor start to the season and did what he could to address it - and it worked, the players got a great reception and went onto win the game.Sounds like he did the same thing yesterday.It good that the players acknowledge the time,effort and money fans put into away games.

To be fair only been to a handful of away games this season due to financial and working restraints. Just nice to see the players actively wanting to thank us before and after the game.

Robbored Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Robbo? Is that you?Yep! In fact I posted more or less the same post after the Brentford game but oddly that got overlooked by my critics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Can it please not turn into another one of those "Pick at Robbored" threads, its getting very tiresome, hes giving credit where its due, and while most of the time I don't agree with him either, making comments about everything he says gets very boring. He's entitled to his opinion, just like the rest of us. :Sleep12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1cityfan_tucks Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 They did it at Rotherham too, but it didnt work there as we lost.I think its going to be a regular thing as its his way of showing thanks to fans for making the effort to travel!Personally i cant fault GJ overall and we are heading in the right direction!

andy234 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 And it was a nice touch by Johnson when he joined the players to applaud the fans after the game as well, was appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
