Will he ****. He seems to be blind where fontaine and Kilkenny are concerned. If they are in the starting 11 against Wolves I will seriously question his judgement. Ive read on these forums "surely after that fontaine will be dropped" to many times and then the next game he starts. No doubt he will start against wolves. If SOD cant see this problem SCREAMING in his face then top 10 is laughable
Like others on here, I am not at all convinced he will. He has heard it from all of us since he came here but like Del, persists in playing him regardless of form, ability or performance. I am now fully convinced that he has compromising pictures of each of our managers for him to be an ever present when he continues to make error after error, more often than not , that cost us a goal. At 3-3, with our tails up and looking likely to go on and win the game, it sounds like yet another clanger has completely knocked the wind out of our sails. Simply not good enough and we CANNOT LET THIS CONTINUE. I work with many who live in Portishead who say LF is a nice chap and I have no axe to grind in this respect, I just don't ever want to see him wearing a red shirt again. The window is still open, offer him part ex, I am sure he would appreciate a freh start because all this abuse can't be healthy - this would be the best thnig all round. SoD, you have the goodwill and support at the moment but carry on playing LF and this will quickly evaporate..

at least they care, I can imagine fontaines on the booze somewhere or getting himself a brand new haircut
Throughout my 64 seasons following City and like every other supporter of every football club in the world, I've had my favourites and those who are not so favourite. I've seen some pretty ordinary players, some geniuses, many who gave as near to 100% every time the pulled on the shirt and a fair number who shirked and hid in matches when off form. But never have I been anywhere near to detesting any City player than the one who's performances have been so poor for getting on for three seasons and who's continual mistakes have been a major factor in our poor performances and points gathering, culminating in relegation last April. Now we have a manager, who appears to be thought well of by many City fans and even adored by some on here, yet he like his predecessors appears to be absolutely blind to the incompetence and recurring mistakes. I was not at todays game, but look back and see last weeks video of the first Bradford goal; Fontaine is so slow is reading the situation and does not have the pace to overcome that deficiency that once again a City goalkeeper is made to look a complete idiot. Heaton and Gerken and now Fielding are reasonably good Championship keepers yet he's made a monkey out of all of them. I'm still sitting on the fence about how well SO'D will do managing City, but unless he sorts this out immediately, mark my words, he too will be on his way. Two matches played and FIVE points already thrown away! Yes I'm angry.
I listened to the commentary, JET was in a different class- He must be totally frustrated that his performance has been undone by some inept defending again- A diagonal ball across the defence- No prizes for guessing who O'Driscoll was referring this to
Just got in from the game. Fontaine - rightly - seems to be getting a lot of stick. SOD needs to strengthen the back 4 of that there is no doubt. I also worry about Fielding - he seems unsure when to come for the ball, and his kicking is awful. I think that the back 4 have no confidence in passing back to him, which seems to lead to uncertainty and problems. Was a very strange atmosphere at the game though.
'Baldock and Elliott need to come off' - PRICELESS ! Not a bloody clue. SOD - that includes you - FFS get shot of Kilkenny and Fontaine.
I tell you now JET is different gravy without him on the pitch today ,we have been taken to the cleaners. Top top player.
Totally agree, I am so hacked off with the result but last season we wouldnt have got ourselves back into the game. There is progress
That I do fully agree with, but confidence and willingness to bust a gut to get back into games that look to be a lost cause will take a severe beating if we continue to gift the oppositon stupid goals.
