Red Robin Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 GJ in the NOTW says he is unhappy with teams that have used the loan system to bring in players. Gary you had the same chance to bring in players as every other championship side,you decided to stick with your troops,unfortunatly the majority of fans have seen all season our strikeing options have been weak. You decided on Dele at a late stage in the season without him we would be in a much lower position than second now,yet us fans were crying out for another striker to come in.Quite clearly the strikers have not been good enough. Look at Hull five loan signings playing yesterday,I would not put it past them to hit top two. You keep harping on about sticking with what you have and giveing them the chance,unfortunatly there is no sentiment in football as you showed with Phil Jevons,Alex Russell, etc. Your lack of activity up front will probably cost us unless Steve Brooker can be the new striker we need along side Dele that is going to be our last chance.

nester Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 OK a forum is a place to air your opinion and also to air a response: don't talk twaddle - he knows what he is doing, ffs. One of his aims has been to keep the squad as a solid unit. And don't forget that Brooker took a while to get back to it. We'll be alright. Hold you nerve!!! We've hardly ever had it so good.

If what you have isn't good enough to score goals no matter which combination you try, wouldn't attempting to sign replacements be a good idea? Gary's done a brilliant job to get us within site of the finish line and possible automatic promotion, but we're only in second place right now thanks to the failings of others and that won't continue. The prospect of a £50 million pound windfall is far bigger than sentiment for footballers who, lets face it, are well-paid servants, funded by supporters hard-earned cash. I'd try and bring in a striker and central-midfielder before the deadline and couldn't give a monkeys what people think about my loyalty to Gary Johnson or Bristol City, because this is a forum, not real life and I'll be shouting myself hoarse at all the remaining home games and hopefully one or two away whatever happens.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and that doesnt make them wrong. There are areas where we are lacking but this is a football forum where people have different views. We cant all be sheep and agree all the time. At the start of the season we would all be happy to stay in this league. At worst this will happen. At the moment were in an automatic place but if it doesn't happen its not the end of the world. Weve had so much coverage on tv and radio that people actually know where Bristol is now. Lets keep the faith. Gary has decided that the squad we have are good enough to take us forward. Lets just keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tenyards Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I don't understand why the original poster feels we should have loan playeres. We are currently in one of the automatic promotion positions. OK two teams can go above us but only if they win very tough games in hand (i.e WBA away to Wolves is a "must win" as things stand - would anyone here fancy us having to win a game at local rivals, say Cardiff, to get into a promotion position). I agree that our strikers have been the weakest part of the team this season, which no doubt is why GJ has kept changing the line-up in a bid to find the right combination. He then bought Dele Adebola in the transfer window, whose strike rate is an improvement on what we had. He has this week brought Brooker back. Along the way Byfield, Trundle, Showunmi, Noble, Sproule and Murray have all been given reasonable runs to show whether they can get the goals. Thankfully goals have come from other parts of the team to get us into this position. With six games left we have a great chance of promotion to the Premier League. If we can match Stoke's results and them beat them in the game at their ground we will practically be there! Personally I would like us to buy Lisbie in the summer as I think he has shown what a class player he is by bagging goals while playing for a poor side...and he will add another dimension to our squad in the Premier League next season. We have gone five games without a win...if we had won just one of those games we would be points clear at the top...a couple of wins in the next few games will see us in that position....but I'll be happy finishing second to be honest.

We are currently in one of the automatic promotion positions. OK two teams can go above us but only if they win very tough games in hand (i.e WBA away to Wolves is a "must win" as things stand - would anyone here fancy us having to win a game at local rivals, say Cardiff, to get into a promotion position). I agree that our strikers have been the weakest part of the team this season, which no doubt is why GJ has kept changing the line-up in a bid to find the right combination. He then bought Dele Adebola in the transfer window, whose strike rate is an improvement on what we had. He has this week brought Brooker back. Along the way Byfield, Trundle, Showunmi, Noble, Sproule and Murray have all been given reasonable runs to show whether they can get the goals. Thankfully goals have come from other parts of the team to get us into this position. With six games left we have a great chance of promotion to the Premier League. If we can match Stoke's results and them beat them in the game at their ground we will practically be there! Personally I would like us to buy Lisbie in the summer as I think he has shown what a class player he is by bagging goals while playing for a poor side...and he will add another dimension to our squad in the Premier League next season. We have gone five games without a win...if we had won just one of those games we would be points clear at the top...a couple of wins in the next few games will see us in that position....but I'll be happy finishing second to be honest. we have gone five without a win,what makes you think we can win 4 of 6 cus that is what is going to be required to go up "DB and SB are our last chance" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was before we had Adebola and Brooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rossjonesuk Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 To come so close as we are at the moment - and to begin to 'stumble' after such a fantastic effort thus far - I think people are bound to feel slightly disappointed... But hey! Its not over yet and as long as WBA and Watford don't pick up there games in hand and we start adding a few points on the board again it could yet happen!!! Our worst run of the season was back in November when we took 2pts out of 15. Out last 5 games have seen 3pts out of 15. We followed November with 13pts out of 15 in the next 5 game spell......... Dare we believe??????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it happens again,personally can not see it myself the slick confident football has gone, and the pressure is definatly showing from management to fans.

WTFiGO!?! Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Not in the mood Red Robin, but if it's another one of your knee jerk bollox post's I wouldn't be surprised. For some actual substantial reason I revert you back to this time last year when on a dodgy run you made a tit of yourself by forcasting the City wouldn't be promoted due to...... a lack of clinicality infront of goal. dude, man - you crack I up you do! get a ####ing grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I recomend going to the doctors and getting prescribed some prozac Or you could present an alternative argument which would be far more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc_4_life Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 YEP every game and 80% away from home,my view is we have blown it on the last five games,we are lucky to be where we are due to others failures recently,and the signing of Dele. TWO PEOPLE will have a major stake in the last six games that being the the and SB partnership, if these click and do the business we may do it,fail and we have no chance. Well, RR, Fair point, your opinnion but i won't complain as the team have played out of their skins all season to ensure we have a good season like we have they have showed they can compete with the best, and I'm sure they can still get us up. We don't need any signings, we just need to get more crosses in with adebola and brooks in there we have 2 strikers who will attack crosses, so that means keeping mcindoe out the left bring in murray as sproule was useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED4LIFE Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 RR, I have just one question..........Are you AshtonYate in disguise????? I only say this as AY is banned from this forum, and I havent read such a 'glass 1/2 empty' sorta post since one of AY's last efforts, so I'm wondering if Red Robin is one of AY's alter-ego's? At the end of the day, you are moaning about a hypothetical situation. Its all ifs, buts and maybe's. What if WBA went into administration, what if Nick Carle scored hat tricks in all his games, what if Basso broke a leg early in the season, what if Elliott hadnt signed, what if GJ signed for another club, what if we had signed Garner and he got injured straight away? None of the above have happened, but what if they did? For me, the proof is in the pudding, and GJ has got us this far already, so I know who is getting my backing. You Reds!

kiwicolin Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 i agree with gary johnson . the loan system stinks. gary did have loan signings the season before last and most of you moaned that they were not good enough.it didn't work for us. we had a transfer window , so why are these loan signing not permanent. if they can afford the wages for a loan then surely they could for a permanent signing. hull have there loan players helping them up the table but they wont be there come next season. look at the players who have come into hulls team on loan and shoved the other players out of the side who have been in the side all season. the spirit of the bristol city team is still there and their belief to get to the premier league is strong. they believe they can do it . just remember. we as fans didn't think we would be in this position and we are now expecting to get promoted.how things have changed from the start of the season and just to survive in the championship. what ever happens , we have had a brilliant season. lets get behind gary and the team for the remainder of the games and lets see how far we can go. don't be too disappointed if we don't make it. we have had a brilliant season.

Sorry disagree on two fronts,we are second and with a few tweaks could be celabrating a second promotion,you have to take chances that have been presented when they come along "50 million is the worth of promo you can become a yoo yoo club and have a far better chance of promotion back to the top tier" Secondly it is GJ who brings the players in,so if his loan signings last year were not too clever that is down to his management skills. Loans signing should and still could help take this club up. A great season and some fantastic football,however you must take the chance when it comes along 30 odd years is a long time,infact if we wait another thirty years a lot of us on here will not be around.

Rednready Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 GJ has done a good job. With a minor tweak a brilliant job. Consider if we had on loan Fraizer Campbell 13 in 25 matches for Hull, GJ would indeed be a God in Bristol. That minor tweak or similar was not made until the Brooker return. Now its a watch and wait situation. The status is one that could have been easier, but now one that requires belief, a lot of candles and hope. We can still get auto promotion, but GJ has shown some inexperience at this level and this past 2 months have been indicative of that. The season as a whole shows without doubt that GJ is a Manager on the upturn. Definately someone who will rise to the Premier League, we are his stepping stone and if we are promoted, thats fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
