Redland Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 We were bottom of the league and facing the unthinkable - relegation. We had been knocked out of all three cups by league two opposition - remember the awful home ties against Barnet & Notts County?Exactly 12 months later we are third in the league, in the area semi final of the JPT & in the 3rd round of the FA cup.Well done to Gary Johnson & the lads for turning it around. I would have taken this situation if offered it a year ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd9999 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Exactly. Johnson's been a class act since he joined, going about getting the squad he wanted, playing the style of attractive football he wanted.I remember a year ago reading posts on this forum saying it would be best for the club to get relegated to get itself in order. Now, there are still plenty of people with negative attitudes, but I havent heard that one in a while, so GJ must be doing something right I have a great feeling about this season.

I necver cease to be amazed at the continual criticism levelled at GJ on here and accordingly would sum up the last 12 months by paraphrasing a line from Monty Python's Life of Brian.............So, just what has Gary Johnson ever done for us then?

I would have taken this situation if offered it a year ago!Great post but I don't think you will get much agreement on here as its not anti Johnson/Lansdown/Sextone.Reading most of this forum you would think we are still in that position.I feel the main achievement over that last 12 months is changing the attitude of the players.We now have a squad who will put there bodies on the line for the cause and give 100% even when things arent going well as last night typified.How many times in the recent past would we have won with last nights performance.Long may it last!

downendcity Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Aquaducts?Oh, hang on. That can't be right...Nah \RedTop, I don't think we can credit Gary with anything on the aqueduct front. Likewise I can't see where Gary has made any improvement in sanitation over the last 12 months. How often are City cruising along nicely in a game, only to concede a late goal(s) so that we are hangin on grimly for the last 10-15 minutes? As a result, how many fans are crapping themselves come the final whistle? Hardly improving sanitation is it?Get a grip Johnson, as apart from a winnning mentality, 20 more points, 26 better goal differnce, peace in the dressing room, McCombe and McAllister, 2 great keepers, protecting the Bristol public on a night out and gettingthe team firmly in the middle of the promotion race just [b]what have you ever done for us?

All three improved the squad, probably lowered the average wage bil, and cost nothing. but apart from a winnning mentality, 20 more points, 26 better goal differnce, peace in the dressing room, McCombe and McAllister and 2 great keepers, plus signing of Jevo, Enoch and Noble - just what has Johnson ever done for us?

Frank Reynolds Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 People are allowed to have reservations about GJ's management though.I readily admit I do, but I can't ignore the fact that we're winning games, and under the previous management we weren't.I hope GJ is successful here, but that doesn't mean that I can't have reservations. If I don't like how he does things then I'm entitled to say, but I wouldn't be a very good fan if I didn't recognise all the good that he does too.
