Match Day Thread tuesday 12th December v Blackburn Rovers

Apologies I was pi$$ed off after the result and performance

 

Could be four points of relegation Saturday as i do not see us beating Sunderland and results go against us.

LM is trying to play a different way and those players do not seem able to.

Bottom six come the season end me thinks.

 

I would say our fan base. We have 40% of fans slitting their wrists and 40% swearing blind were dominating games and better under Manning. Both a blight on our club. Even though we’re 4 without a win and never went more than 2 without a win under Pearson.

 

The bottom teams are improving well all but 2 maybe! at the mo ... but Rotherham and Sheff Wed do have the players to improve!

tonight
Norwich can put 4 puts between us Sheff best to hope for is a draw they would 12pts below us then
Coventry could put us down a place [ W or D ] and be 2 pts above us
Birmingham could be on level points or 2 behind
neither Plymouth or QPR can affect our lge position except get point/ points closer
Millwall as above no affect on outr position a point of 3 closer if the get a result though!

 

From March 13th 2021 we went without a win until 20th July which was preseason. So 10 games with 3 draws. So let’s not make things up.

 

You keep saying all Nige bought was league one dross, but most of his signings were free. He was given pennies in comparison to the money the club brought in from selling player, and also in comparison to the money the club saved from getting rid of the players from the overspending of LJ.

I honestly don’t know what you were expecting him to do. He had one arm tied behind his back and was dropped in the ocean and told “keep your head above water”. At least he had command of the players he was left with at his disposal and points were being won.

At no point under NP did I look at a fixture and think “well we aren’t getting anything there”, the possibility of a draw or win was always realistic. Under Manning, I honestly can’t see where a single point is going to come now. Happy to give him until the end of the season and I’ll be happy with him keeping us up. But I don’t want to see him being given a single penny to spend on transfers. Freebies and make do with what we have to show his talent as a manager.

 

I feel sorry for LM.

Told by 2 clowns we were 'under trained ' etc and the poor sod believed it.

NP's experience/man management kept us above where we should be in the league.

Still hoping that LM can turn it around. He sounds downbeat in interviews and I start to worry for him.......and us.

And may the Lord help JL if it goes wrong Saturday.

 

perfect response

 

Get a honking Saturday Ashton Gate could get quite vocal.

 

Since Liam came on board I don't think the players are buying into anything he is trying to get over and if excitement was his intent then it has failed dismally. The times during his matches where I have thought we are better than before are few and far between and it doesn't take long for our issues to kick back to full view and the mistakes always cost us dearly. So many in the starting eleven fail to impress but when they are substituted for other players who are no better, and that's being kind, the mood of the game may change but in the end it makes no difference to the outcome. This sub-standard level of football has been on view for way too long and I have grave doubts that we will see respite, either in the short term or after the transfer window, because all of our troubles must be directed to the only people who can change our fortunes but don't and won't. I am not so sure we have the makings of a decent squad especially when you look at the great young talent that has left Ashton Gate for good money and virtually none of that cash inflow has been re-invested. You get what you deserve Mr Lansdown and to see you ignore the pleas of the supporters over the years means to me that they will not get what they so thoroughly deserve even though they are the life-blood of Bristol City.
