That today was the worst game I have seen this season at Ashton Gate. Duric saved his ass. That was the bottom side in the division,did we deserve the win,definitely no. I thought we looked no better than them.infact they looked the more likely to score, up until we scored. Johnson is not the man to take this club forward.Completely out of his depth. The next four games, are very much losing games. Told 100% the dressing room has been lost, from the chap behind me who is good friends with a academy player on the fringe of the first team. Until he goes we are going to struggle.
You also said 100% we were getting Pearson sorry if we just don't believe you anymore Bottom of table clashes are always scrappy it's about winning those games and we did
Terrible game, bloody awful , but I'm going to enjoy the fact we actually won a game, I thought the booing of the 3 subs were embarrassing, I thought it was the right decision personally as Tomlin and Little were awful today and the 3 subs combined for the goal. Also the guy who bought out the banner on 60 minutes in the West stand saying "O'Driscoll save Us!" wasn't helpful either
Tammy,Tomlin,Little were all shocking. Don't expect too see Tomlin playing for a while,not happy when he came off straight down the tunnel. Matty Taylor is going to be class,Dave Cotterill MOM for me. But that was a shocking performance today.
Tomlin went off down the tunnel and returned, when he returned Tammy went down the tunnel so probably some instruction. But hay let's say he stormed off went on Twitter and punched Lansdown in the face if you want.
RR when you say he has lost the changing room, if he has, it's probably down to one player, Lee Tomlin, it only takes one bad apple, and he's probably that bad apple that has caused unrest, I wonder why Eddie Howe got rid of him, maybe he doesn't like young managers telling how to play, maybe the chap that was sat behind you can enlighten you next time you meet.
To be frank that team put on the pitch,no passion,no quality,no guts,no we want this badly. The only players that looked the part, were DC and MT both new signings,the rest were bloody awful.
He is a ST Holder been sat behind me all season, as said very good friends of the persons parents,so no rubbish.
RR don't always believe everyone around you. We are now on an unbeaten run for two games which this time last week we never thought would come. Yes today was as dull as putting up that O'Driscoll banner. But would I have swapped today's game for an entertaining draw? No I wouldn't. To me the players played against a ****e team knowing if they lost or didn't even get a point then they wouldn't be able to show their faces in public. To me they was too nervous and one thing I've noticed even though I like Pack but we just seem to look bad with him in the team. Maybe it's because playing two defensive midfielders just don't work.
Absolute garbage Patterson and Djuric were just as impressive as Taylor when they came on. The keeper looked assured today and we never really looked liked conceding as thought Flint Wright and Golbourne all done their jobs well
As ROD said, a very nervous display. 2 teams out on that pitch, low in confidence and all on edge to not make a mistake, put those 2 combinations together and you get a boring nervy affair. LJ saw what needed to be done and by bring the 3 he did on it changed the game a lot. Djuric is a trier and doesn't matter how bad we are he's not the sort of player to let his head drop, Taylor was lively and on a mission to impress, which he did. 3 points in the bag. Fan-dabby-dosey. Now on to the next 4 games....
Errr I said the team that was put on the pitch-meaning the starting eleven. ROD -pack was atrocious first half,but better second half. Thought the only players, to come out of the game with credit were MOM DC Followed by MT assist and looked quality looks like he has a footballing brain. Followed by Duric played well. Followed by Patterson with some good runs. Without them today,Johnson would have been sacked.
It was like watching snooker on a black and white television. He needs to ditch playing Abraham up front on his own it dont work. Hopefully he will start with Djuric, Taylor and Patterson in the next game but I doubt it.
Not worked after first ten games,when teams sussed us out. Taken Johnson all this time to realise this.
Duric did his job and scored his first goal after 3 attempts, fair play, he saved nobodies ass, he was chosen, selected, played by Johnson along with 13 others to help win the game, Johnsn has saved his own ass by getting 4 points out of a possible 6 in the last 2 games, he may very well fail in the next 4 and be sacked but he is kicked for his failures for god sake give him some credit when he succeeds. His ass has not been saved but he has procured himself some leeway, I hope he continues with some wins but if not sack the man, but give him some space.
Sorry wiz that was garbage today,a win yes but certainly not looking good,as said I will be amazed if here for the next home game. He has been backed too the hilt by Steve Lansdown,with millions spent on the most expensive squad ever assembled at Ashton Gate. SL i would imagine would, and should, expect more from the investment on the pitch. At present LJ has not provided it for him. He cannot afford too let City fall back into league one.
Funny how you always make out you know everything, but then make a balls up by saying MT got the assist to the goal. it was Paterson who's shot was saved out to Djuric. I bet you was more gutted about winning than the performance.
Did you go to the game? I'm sure you did, but just curious. I fail to believe even the most ardent of LJ supporters could admit that was an entertaining game. Can truly say that was just plain poor today and it just seems blindingly obvious that the changing room are not trying for him. No one who wants him to go, wants to lose games. As that leads to relegation and I desperately don't want that. Other than being completely underentertained, today was a good outcome for me, someone who doesn't want him there. We got a much much needed win but it was shining example of how badly managed we our. Outrageous Cotterill could be let out on loan. Looked at home today. Dead pleased to have him back.
