Guest ashtonyate Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I go along with what Bradley Orr said in today's Evening Post anything less than Promotion will be considered not a susses. Staying up would have been acceptable at the start of the season but not at the end of the season. We were in the top six for most of the time and should have been promoted by now with a decent Forward line make no mistake Johnson dropped a clanger with his not signing quality players when he had a chance. We were so well placed with 10 games to go it should have been a formality with a couple of goal scorers. I know I will get flack for this post but if we don't go up and the fans look at things in the cold light of day after the season has ended they will realised what I say is true. Gary Johnson Good Manager yes, Great Manager don't know must do better signing Forwards next season if he is still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 0738parkway Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Lets be honest is it really the forwards who have in ashtonyates eyes ( not mine bloody great season ) let us down , you tell me any game this season where we have missed chance after chance ( none ) to be honest our percentage of goals scored against how many chances we have created would be very high in my opinion, i think we have struggled to create chances not score them , Mind you got this funny feeling that mr trundle might have the last laugh yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob k Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 For what its worth i think AY has a point to a certain degree, yes its been a good season but we only needed to put together a half decent run at the end of the season and we were there. In my opinion we started going pear shaped since the arrival of Adebola (not that I'm blaming him as he is doing the job thats been asked of him), we are now just lumping it long and hoping somethin comes of it. Take a look at the results since his arrival. for some reason our tactics have changed and we have well and truley been found out. At the begining of the season i would have been extremley pleased with our final posistiopn but i cant help thinking we had it in our grasp to go on and get a top 2 finish quite easily.

I can really agree with that we have not scored the goals all season the reason I think its gone tits up is we lost Johnson through injury. The truth is we had a small squad which needed a few players added to it whether on loan or bought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posset_Rob Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 We have had chances but no one with the Quality to put them away, people have been having a funny feeling all season about Trundle I have a feeling about Trundle but its not a funny one. I've heard a large number of City fans say the same about how we haven't been finishing our chances this season. I don't agree. That's one of the main reasons Johnsons reign has been so successful. We all remember the days under Wilson of playing the likes of Bury of the park for 90 mins yet coming away with a 0-0 draw. Roberts, Peacock, Aaron Brown etc were players who couldn't finish. Yes our strkers don't score loads but they didn't last season and i believe its down to the way Johnson has set up his side with the main priority to keep things tight and so far its been very successful. As he often puts it, "Treat each game like a cup final". It doesn't matter who scores or how, lets just get the win. I honestly don't think a signing like Joe Garner in January would have made much difference as he would have found himself in the same situation as the others. I remember a few years back Valencia won La Liga and got to two European Cup finals without a playing getting more than 10 goals a season. I'm hoping for a 90th minute winner in the play-off final via a deflection of Carey's backside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been saying it all season and before the season started it was obvious to me that we have never had a credible strike force even last season we were poor up front. Given City's play off credentials I pretty sure what will happen I don't believe I just hope we will get promoted. Just one other think if you were one of the other teams in the playoff's who would you want to play i think it would be the team with a minus goal difference for me.

As for the Wilson days the problem was we had players who only performed when they want to, we had to many bad apples in the team and no one with any guts to do anything about it. I shall always be grateful that Johnson finish of what Tinnion started and got rid of the bad apples. As for Johnson's side you are right he found a system that allowed us to sneak the odd goal and points but was that by design or because we had no quality forward players also that way of playing has its limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
