Why Bristol City fans need to keep the faith in the club's plan. Bristol City fans have been becoming increasingly disgruntled with their team's falling position in the Championship. After the club's latest defeat last night as they lost 1- to Brentford led to plenty of fans taking to their social media accounts to have their say on the proceedings. But City writer Andy Stockhausen believes fans need to have a little more patience. He said: "Certainly the jury has been out for a long time on Lee Johnson with a lot of fans, some were sceptical of course, but he did well to win some over. "He steered them away from relegation, had a brilliant summer of business and a great start to the season. "Now he is facing his first real test as Bristol City head coach, and people are bound to query him. "But we don't want to knee jerk reactions, there is a long-term project and I think the majority of Bristol City fans understand that." "It is a working progress and I think the plan is to start next season with a squad that can challenge the top six." http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/why-br...-club-s-plan/story-29983907-detail/story.html
No its now the five points of interest .. Or was. That highlights part of BCFC's problem - A inability to stick to a long term. There are obvious improvements, but "there is a long-term project and I think the majority of Bristol City fans understand that" despite keenly reading information and attending Q&A's I know I do not understand how BCFC X Bristol Sport works. That relationship funds that long term!
If our losing streak continues into the New Year then action will have to be taken sooner rather than later, contract extension or no contract extension. Just saying
And in some cases having a thorough understanding of what the long terms are may/would aid fans to keep the faith(?). Its Steve Lansdown ours, not ours. Mr Lansdown will do as he pleases with his property, and is. In turn I would like to see how he intends financing the FC in the long term win, lose, draw, contract extension or no Lee Johnson at all.
The manager regularly judges and makes comments on his players (good or bad), surely it's not out of order for fans to make a comment on the managers performances (good or bad), we can keep faith in Lee Johnson but is it good or bad faith ? At the moment it looks as though he is having problems with the dressing room, Tomlin,Matthews and god knows who else, the team results and position is dreadful, I personally don't want LJ sacked but I don't want to see us return to lower levels, Bristol City FC is much more important to me than any individuals reputation including Lee Johnson. So my faith is good and will stay with Bristol City, I hope the Lansdowns are watching our situation carefully and will react when and if necessary, if Johnson doesn't maintain our higher status and quality then he must go, End of..
He needs to borrow a hand grenade from his old man! I do not get all this young player crap that is constantly spouted. If they cannot play to the standard required game in game out they should not be playing. Remember they get paid a fortune, not YTS money and should be expected to deliver. Its about time we got rid of the nicey, nicey all part of the plan. Get nasty, set your sights to the very top and do not expect anything less. As much as I hate the gas, I do admire Clarke in that there is no bullshit or excuses and his mantra is perform or somebody else will take your place.
I'm sorry but where has this "Lee Tomlin problem" come from. Tuesdays team was purely tactical. I'd play Tomlin no matter what but I could understand why he was on the bench. Reid gets closer to Abraham where as Tomlin can float about and leave Tammy isolated. This dressing room thing with Johnson and Tomlin has been completely made up by fans, not sure why.
How do you know its been made up? Marlon Packs old man may have leaked it. I think Tomlin creates far more playing on left than in the middle and would think the stats back it up.
I agree and tactically it looked a good decision because we looked better before he came on although that could be down to both the subsitutions
LT is a play maker, and a goal scorer,sorry he is better than joe Bryan and bobby Reid combined. I thought he had a excellent game out on the left against Ipswich,cannot comment about Huddersfield away was not there. Personally think his best position is central, behind two strikers in a triangle formation. When I heard the team on Tuesday it was not set up right from the start.
Well it's quite obviously not true. We would know if there was a problem as Tomlin would make it known on his social media accounts. He's been known for it in the pass and we knew what his attitude was like when we signed him. I like Tomlin behind the striker(s) too. That said he's just as good on the left. Would perhaps play Reid in the middle and drop Freeman for Saturday
Couldn't agree more- Bryan has really lost his way lately, which is a shame as he has shown promise before- Tomlin should be the first name on the teamsheet, he creates plenty and he is one of very few that are constantly looking to make things happen. There are too many prepared to pass the ball sideways and let someone else take ownership
Far to much sideways and back passes,Bryan is as slow as a snail,Reid scores 1 in 5 chances,never in a million years will have LT vision or ability. LJ goes on about both being future premiership,for me they are good league one players.
I maintain that if we get beat 3,4,5, nil every game then there is something radically wrong, as it is. it's by the odd goal or two.....not much in it..
Trouble with that scenario is whether it's 4 nil or 1 nil, we still get zero points. Losing is like winning - it's a habit and a habit that breeds a lack of confidence. As the poor run continues our players will become 'rabbit's in headlights'. As predicted by Junior after the Cardiff game.
last thirty points available seven out of thirty. last fifteen its three. three four, nil or one that is ****. Club plan cant be to make huge amount of changes and spend millions. Patience and that form is bollocks.
It is already showing Saturday is a massive game,loose this then the pressure will be on big time. As you say keep loosing,then it becomes normal.
Of course I understand that RP, what I'm getting at is, Tammy taking his chances, defenders/goalkeeper making vital mistakes are costing us the points. Is that down to LJ.? I agree, we can not afford to continue with these defeats, I just feel we are not too far away with what he's putting out to turn this around......Maybe I'm wrong, it's been known on occasions in the past!! If the set up was totally wrong etc, we would be getting a pounding most weeks...You agree or not?
