A clear out required..I'm not even convinced about Struber..

What a pathetic game of football, struggling to remember where more passes from both sides never found their man.
Does Struber have a 'style' of play ? Seems to me he throws 18 numbers in the air and however they come down that how he sets up........and then his subs are baffling.
 
Should have been 4/5 against us today the gods were looking down.city look clueless and devoid of any passion.Lansdowns go and take Tinnion with you a **** show of the highest order.You can stick your STs were the sun don’t shine.
 
The January debacle was the final straw for me, especially SL’s comments.

We should be ok, just, this season, but unless there is a major change in attitude from the very top, and major investment in the summer there is no hope for us next season.

I feel sorry for Horvat, he looks quality but was sold a pup. If he’d been added to the squad, rather than a replacement for Anis, alongside a quality striker, and a decent right back it might have been a different story.

There’s no getting away from the fact we’ve been unlucky with injuries to the defence, but even so our performances of late have been disgraceful

I agree.. I'm not sure he does..why do we have Earthy if we aren't gonna play him?
Accumlitivy we must have the worst 3 strikers in our history..Riis, Armstrong and Burgzorg are Downs league at best. Dreadful

I’m moving to Aberystwyth for university so won’t be renewing for next season.

Won’t be missing much judging by what I’ve seen since January, complete disaster after such a good start but we’ve seen it all before I suppose. Entirely predictable result today I just knew it.

Does Struber have a 'style' of play ? Its styles. It has been but not anymore high-intensity, high-press and playing forwards quickly with width. Now its playing narrow and trying to crawl/walk the ball up the pitch. And there is ok just stick two up top!

Whatever it is, it is not close to being efficient. The team looks a mess.

Style of play you say?? It’s cack but you just know it will be three at the back!!
 
11 points away from the relegation zone I would say squeaky bum time with these last games to be played-we could still be involved this season let alone next season.
 
I didn't even get up to watch City today as I have seen this crisis coming all season and Lansdown still refuses to do anything positive. We have become the joke that Lansdown has engineered over the last 10 years or so and his lack of respect for his supporters doesn't appear to want to ease. Selling our good players and getting clowns for replacements can never solve our issues and until Lansdown goes and hands over the reins to someeone who at least might care we essentially have no hope. Shame, shame, shame.

Over the years teams such as Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton have all succeeded in small market areas because their policies are right on the money. They originally started with lower cost players and sold them on for good money and mainly they invested the extra cash to buy better players and continued to thrive to this day and along the way they bought several City players to help them on their way. I heard that Brighton generated close to 300 million in sales followed by several classy players for about 170 million and popped a cool 100+ milion in the bank. Please tell me we don't have anyone with some common sense who would adopt that policy as I'm sure Lansdown would like to see a spare 100+ million going into his account. Why do we get it so consistently wrong and still continue down Lansdown's path to nowhere? <steam>

If he perseveres with what we’ve got currently and there’s no one new coming in I believe we will be relegated next season
Looking at Forzafootball stats - https://forzafootball.com/team/bristol-city-11212
Last three games.
City v WBA shots on target one.
City v Boro shots on target one.
City v Leicester shots on target one.

Armstrong will take 1 chance in about 12 he’s given

Twine is great from set pieces but rarely scores from open play, and Riss has frankly been very disappointing

I’ve high hopes for Sam Bell as he matures, but at this level it’s a really tough ask to expect 10 or more goals a season from him

Hopefully Horvat might chip in with a few but we still look lightweight up front without better players coming in
 
2 major factors in our pitiful demise, funding and signings, the two individuals responsible, Lansdown Snr and Tinnion,.

Lansdown has been stalwart hisorically but is now detached , passive and clueless, Tinnion is operating in a market above his capability, time to move both on,

We need younger and more ambitous investors combined with football knowledgeable people running the club.
