How can you even think of getting rid of the manager? Mid December and we are fourth in the Championship! Why do we only start playing when it’s getting desperate? And all those high balls into an area populated by giant defenders? Bring on Blackburn.
Wow, doesn't take much does it? And so it starts Did you think we would win at Fulham? in the end it's better than 2 draws..
Yeh but we will never achieve our ambitions if we cannot be more successful at home. Even shallowness said our home form is our biggest weakness. I hope that the upcoming window will fix us. I will let Lee stay until end of the season.
Thanks Inver. What will it take you to let him go? Failure to make or win the playoffs? Who have you got lined up that will do a better job?
Are you our new owner? and if you were, is there a manager out there, you have to slot in and do a better job?
As someone else said earlier, Millwall beat WBA & Leeds this season........The championship is a very hard league, any team can beat anyone. Redprintt will be about talking about zillions spent and RR will be on saying, we need to spend zillions on 2 strikers... Tonight we were ****...it happens..we move on....still 4th!!
Funny how we see things differently Fam for me was the only player first half to come out with any credit thought he was decent .
I'm not and never have been an LJ luviee but 4th in the table going into Christmas, club in profit, record attendances, record profits from transfers and still players wanted by the opposition,our club is moving forward right across a broad front and a lot of this is down to LJ. January window is upon us and I am awaiting some actvity, LJ has now been around, he knows the demands, I am not a believer but I think he deserves us to get behind him as long as he remembers the higher our trust in him the further he has got to fall. For now I am in his ball court.
I know we’ve done well with this team , and not hindsight as I was saying before the game we should have freshened things for today. In fairness they did a good job on us and deserved their win. Put a line under it and move on . Three points Saturday and all will be forgiven .
We just rarely seem to have any zing and it's been happening for years and doesn't want to change. Even Lee basically said we didn't show up in the first half and that Millwall set up a formation that was difficult to play against. It's common for teams to play differently on the road as opposed to home territory and so the way you approach team formation may have to be modified to meet the challenge and that's a hurdle that we have difficulty in overcoming at present. Let's hope the January window provides Lee with the opportunity to enhance our squad to improve our chances of reaching the play-offs. I would suggest that making the extended season should be our only goal. I must give credit to SL for his faith in Lee but surely there has to be a bending point, but let's hope the rest of the season will see us reverse our home fortunes and stay, or improve, on our current satisfactory league position. Merry Christmas one and all from Vancouver Island.
I hoped LJ had found the formula to play exciting, attacking football at AG after the Huddersfield game. That seems like a blip now. It was back to the slow, ponderous, predictable build up with no cutting edge. I'm glad I didn't get a ST this year as most of the home games have been tedious to watch and there is pretty much no atmosphere at AG any more. We may be 4th but I find it hard to get excited about going to a game these days as you so rarely come away feeling your £35 was money well spent.
A predictable Bristol City result and performance just as we start to get our hopes up We have worked so hard and performed so well this season to win at the likes of Fulham, Derby, and Hull and then we throw it all away again by failing to have the ability to break down an average team at home like so often this term. Just as well our away form is so good (aside from the capitulations at Luton and Barnsley) as our home performances and results are relegation form !
Looks to me, and I can only comment after watching, that City are much happier when teams play on the front foot. Rowett had Millwall set up to hold and frustrate. Consequently it seemed Williams and Baker had a game passing between themselves, we had no idea further up the field. That was until the last 10minutes when Millwall sat on 2-0 and we kept lumping in their box. Leeds and WBA are far superior. You can throw a blanket over the next dozen.
