2-0 up and gave away 3 goals in the last 17 minutes. That's absolutely appalling! I am ashamed that my team totally gave up and surrendered without a murmur - yet again! Shocking shocking shocking.
Invermeremike- So I take it you won't be going to the match at Blackpool, but I guess you have already penned your reply and will post it 2 minutes after the final whistle.... that is of course unless we get a decent result and then I second guess, you will be strangely silent. it is all sadly predictable that you and some other so called Bristol City fans on this site are so quick to criticise in a negative and destructive fashion, yet ignore the fact that for the first 70 minutes we dominated and controlled the game. We were 2-0 up, could easily have been 4-0, Reading had only two shots on target and were in disarray. It is becoming so depressing reading all the negativity and Millen out campaign- do you not think how destructive yours and so called fans of your ilk are to Bristol City FC. Do you not think that the management and players read these boards. shocking, shocking, shocking
Manxy, I just said it was shocking! All of our supporters are upset at what we see at AG and if "shocking' is the most severe criticism we will see, I be very surpised.
Incidentally I listen to every game on BBC Radio Bristol and despite not having a visual image of the game I can get a good idea of what's happening, and regrettably I saw this coming 15 minutes from time. Just look at our record over the last 3 years and you will see the same thing happens over and over again. When will someone wake up?
Hello Mr Sexstone and Mr Lansdown. Will you wake up FFS and act now by sacking Millen today like you should have done ages ago before our likely relegation becomes a nailed on certainty. Do not accept any more piss poor excuses from the Manager or listen to him saying how confidence is growing and that things will get better because the whole world knows it wont.
So you are quite happy with the current set-up are you?? Don't call us "so called Bristol City fans" like we don't care. One game, we controlled most of the game.....No good saying could have been 4-0 up......the fact is we lost 3-2, the fact is we only have one point at home, the fact is we are 2nd from bottom, the fact is, since Millen has been in charge it's been a non stop relegation battle. The Fact is, if we continue with this form we will get relegated. The Fact is Keef has had his chances, used his excuses and failed.
We have a soft underbelly - depsite being far superior for 72 minutes as soon as they scored you could see the frailty. Until then there were so many positves. But at the end of the day we LOST. Unfortunately things like this happen to teams who get relegated - I'm now seriously worried. It was sad to see Keith Millen at the final whistle - he's as gutted as we are. He's a good bloke (maybe too nice?), and has been a great servant to the club. However, the Board have a decision to make - how long can they let this go on for?
Mike- I too heard the radio commentary last night- I too heard how we seemed to capitulate massive style in the last 20 minutes, although I shouldn't have been surprised as we have been prone to doing that over the last 3 years- I too was gutted and was prompted to comment in a similar, but less forgiving way as yourself, but decided that negative criticism, is not the answer. Like booing your own players, team and management, it serves only to galvanise and inspire the opposition, and is totally counter-productive as there is no real sustainable of reply. Dammed if you do / dammed if you don't scenario. Mrs. Lincoln decided that she really enjoyed the first part of the Play; it reminded her of happier days, but said that in the latter part, the players seemed to forget their lines, and that the director was incapable of interceding. She said that the Play had become a Tragedy. However undeterred she will venture to Blackpool with her entourage, in the hopes of a happier sequel.
Nice one manx. Don't ever think that I want anything but the best for City but our record over the last few seasons is deplorable. Full of promises but no promise when it comes to the on-field performances. Our endless stream of players that will solve our problems just by turning up has become a joke. It has to be pinned on the inabilty of our management, not just KM, to react to the constant stream of problems being encountered at AG. Until such time as they prove us wrong in our criticism and take positive action they will not get my vote. We are in dire need of radical change at Aston Gate and until that happens they must accept our concerns and react in such a way that we can see they mean business. Until that happens the crowds will coninue to dwindle, robbing us of a very vital revenue source to turn ourselves around and get to where we all want to be. I think the problem lies deep within our management and financial structure and I don't expect any change in the near future. We shouldn't break the bank in our attempt for success but surely there has to be a better way than the current road to League 1.
I was at the Gate last night (and against Hull Saturday) and saw the best and worst of City. It was incredible how the game turned when it looked like that we were the only team that could possibly win. I've never booed a City player or Manager, and I won't start now, but I'm not daft enough not to recognise that if we're not strong enough to win a game like that against very ordinary opposition then we can't hope to stay up. People have said that a new manager would want a whole load of new players. From what I saw last night we've players good enough to compete in this division but they don't actually believe it themselves. At 2-1 we should have easily have been good enough to respond or see the game out, but the belief just drained away. I can only see this changing under new management I'm sorry to say.
