Despite comments such as we are too good to go down and an apparent wonder goal at AG on Saturday here we are again in the bottom 3. Based on our performances of late I can't see us getting another single point this season and we all know what that will mean. Relegation no longer seems a possibilty but rather an inevitability and the long term ramifications are unthinkable. How can our mangement continue to promote our club as a forward thinking organisation when the real facts point in a totally different direction. Good decision making was thrown out the window many years ago when some mis-directed senior management person mistakenly thought we were on the right path to higher things when in fact we were on a downward spiral to self destruction. Harsh words I know but until someone at Ashton Gate wakes up to the brutal realities of life that lead to success then we have a long and winding road of suffering ahead os us all. My heart is as heavy as it has been in a very long time and, despite my lifetime of supporting BCFC, I must confess that my belief has all but disappeared and will only be resurrected when we put someone in charge who fully understands what it takes to earn our respect. If I really believed that my comments would result in a major shift in emphasis from our management I would be a much more positive person in my support, but regrettably I'm not!
Mike, this coming weekend presents 2 games which are winnable and will go an enormous distance to deciding our future so I wouldn't go capitulating just yet. Longer term, there are questions to answer but the point that many miss is that there will be a mass clear-out in the summer so the personnel and mentaility of the team WILL change... Meantime, the players know that they have 540 minutes or 9 hours to save our NPC status and to start with, they will be under the scruntity of all of us either in person or on TV so there will be no hiding place - we will see for ourselves if they falter for one second in the requirement to run, tackle and most importantly, SUPPORT OUR ATTACK (such as it is) for every moment of the game.... Square balls with no clue what to do across the back and midfield will not do, WE NEED TO WIN and I am afraid that unless he sorts his game out, Albert is a luxury we cannot afford at the moment, play Joe Bryan like we did against Leicester, this was out most solid looking performance for months...
Do you know what I think SL could take his funds to the blue few what with his rugby purchase,playing at the memorial stadium. I reckon Del will walk when we are relagated,he will know that he has not achieved what was required of him.
Not going to happen and, not going to happen Money aside, SL is a City supporter so what on earth is going through your mind..???!!!!! He would no more do it than you, money has nothing to do with it...
he's a Scot they are built for the long run they don't quit they have the passion the desire and most of all the heart to kick people up the backside when they need it or a hug and right now we need to get behind the team the manager and show them what we is made of its not over yet and we can't believe it is til it's impossible not to be so the past is the past we got the remaining games to go so lets fight be strong and bounce back i still believe always believe time to stop the doom and gloom .

We are not too good to go down. We have one of the worse defences in the league and our strikers are no better. I dont understand why fans came away bleeting about how good pitmans goal was as it didnt win the game and now we are in the bottom three. Ive always said its easier to look up the table than it is to look down and the team im looking at now is Millwall who are 4 points above us as cant see us catching forest or coventry with their form so we need to catch millwall. Looks like our Scottish manager takes after the one at Liverpool as both teams fail to score goals and even when kenny saw his team 2-0 down he still made his subs late in the game like our manager and like us saw a clear handball in the box not given
