havanatopia Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Good day everyone. And let us hope it ends as that, whatever that means to each individual. There will no doubt be a few out there who quietly would like the football club from the old king of world brewing to give City a good hiding today. One might argue that if Burton Albion come to Ashton Gate and shut up shop magnificently until the 80th minute then hit us on the break resulting in a fairly usual collapse on our part and 3 more goals it will put Lee Johnson out of his misery. There may be others who argue that while they would never wish a defeat upon their club, whatever the consequences, just this once it is for the greater good. Many would even have sympathy with that view whilst not necessarily agreeing or advocating it. And therein lies the paradox. Or one could express it rather more elongatingly; Paradoxical as it may sound, the truth seems to be that primary judgment, beginning as it does with the simplest feeling and sensation, is not a combination of two mental elements into one, but is a division of one sensible thing into the thing itself and its existence and the belief that it is determined as existing. In short, I blame nobody at all for having this view. In fact I fully understand it. Born from the frustration, even the downright anger, that lies in the belly from spending hundreds and even thousands only to be confronted with an owner saying fans should not boo. All of that said I would be absolutely flabbergasted if we do not win today and will leave it at that.. oh and to post the previous Burton thread here which is a celebration of what the town has literally given to the world.

Garland-sweden Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Thanks. Gameday and lots of opinions. 3 points all that counts. Gotta feeling we will explode today, 3-0. Or is it just my imnigation? For me it feels the most important game of the season so far. The birds here in my small garden sings beautiful. A robin is the the first to talk, sing. Its white and snowing but the birds tell us spring is soon coming. However reality is not imagniation, fantasy. Burton is not a good awayteam and they had luck vs Blacburn 1-1.

Engvall's Splinter Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Not hopeful. Planning to lump on Burton in hope (desperation) that my bets continue to fail and jinx our opposition.

Major Isewater Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm hoping if City score first the Brewers will droop. We really SHOULD beat them . They are as good as us away from home and they have injuries to key players . They have some older players in their side so I hope we press and Deborah Harry .Wear the old fellas out and hit them with youthful exuberance ( Wilbs to score in Ian Dury time) NOTHING LESS THAN VICTORY IS GOOD ENOUGH.

reddogkev Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Come on City, please for the love of all City fans around the world and the cosmos, win this damned game today!! I look for a 2-0 win and a draw at Blackburn v Wigan. If we lose today, farewell Mr Johnson, thanks for the survival last season.

samo II Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We beat Burton earlier this season thanks to a healthy dose of luck and Tammy. I worry that without either of those things, today will prove a tougher proposition. And if we fail to take three points today, that would mean that out of our last five (Leeds, Fulham, Newcastle, Villa and Burton) we'd have only matched or improved on one result (Newcastle draw) from the first half of the season - even the staunchest of the LJ faithful would have to question if that really represents anything close to progress. So let us hope we start our push back up the table starts today, and we can do the double on Burton. It is undeniably one of the most crucial games we've faced this season; please let us pass this test. COYR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Just said to a mate, the bit that worries me the most is even when we were 'good' earlier in the season, we scraped past Wigan and Blackburn at home, and Burton away. We absolutely robbed them away from home. Theyve got potential to beat us today, Kightly always scores against us and Woodrow was a good signing for them too. We NEED to start G'ON, Tomlin and Taylor today. If I see two holding midfielders in the side today, or one up front, or both, I'll feel sick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmers Green Red Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Always hope for a win myself .... been in this situation over many years with some managers teetering on the edge, but in a '6 pointer' like this I just feel we can't afford to not win ... there are other games we may lose soon that could drop us into the bottom 3, with potential changes then happening, but at least by beating Burton they may be kept closer to us for the final run in! Saying all of that, I get why people think differently ... however, whilst opinions differ it all comes from the same place of loving the club! COYR!

downendcity Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Feel today is last chance saloon for LJ and the team. While there are plenty of games left, a loss today will leave us with no momentum and I just can't see where we will be able to turn things around. Teams around us all seem to have found some form and importantly results, and I can easily see them going past us or pulling away. Im normally pretty positive and optimistic about the team, but since Christmas have found my optimism ebbing away, which Im really sad about. I still think this team is far better than it's current position, but the disastrous run of losses before Christmas hammered their confidence. The first halves at both Derby and Newcastle showed their potential, but the second halves in those games showed the mental fragility that is now the biggest achilles heel. Desperately hoping for a win today but fearing a draw at best. COYR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. By the first week in March I thought we would be nice mid table safe now, thinking about playing out our remaining matches with thoughts towards the next season. I thought we would be thinking about what players will come and go, what areas need strengthening etc. Instead I'm pretty bloody miserable at the thought that we are fighting relegation with many players leaving us, not because we don't want them but that they will jump ship and stay in the Championship whilst we might have to totally rebuild again. Now that's depressing. So I guess I'm going to go and watch players like Cotterill whilst I can, yes I know he isn't ours but it will be a long time until we see talent like him again if we are relegated.

willitonciderhead Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 It seems like I am just going through the motions recently on match days. Even the pre match ritual of KFC seems tainted or is it just the chicken? I will of course be giving it my all as is expected and only wish that the players do likewise. I fully expect a very toxic atmosphere if we underperform which is very sad as we all love the club and hate seeing the decline and the prospect of another season season in the championship slowly ebb away. It seems like we are slowly dieing by a thousand cuts with the odd scrap thrown at us to keep us from starvation.

BanburyRed Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Can't see anything other than a convincing 90min performance, some structure/formation, discipline etc being enough to pacify those going today. Undoubtedly the team has quality but seem unable (unwilling even..?) to put this together for 2 halves. If we go behind, i dread to think what the atmosphere will be like - and then it becomes about determination, resolve, character, desire....throw into the mix the team's current mental fragility under pressure and it could, could be, a tinderbox. That said, we have to use the seriousness of the current situation to best advantage, time for round pegs & round holes, a formation to take the game to Burton, not merely contain them, and go out there with a commitment to get the job done. Play with a freedom, a passion....something that says 'we're here to play football and here to win'... A win, 2-0, 3-1, is a must i feel today. Along with a performance. 2 up front please, no messing around. 3 at the back, 5 across the middle, play with intent & width. Start the game at pace, leave everything on the pitch at the end. No excuses. COYR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you preying that we lose so LJ gets the arse... save it for Tuesday... God save Bristol City! COYR's I`ll criticise him because of his ineptitude, but not his sexual proclivities.

Has been poor , but if he's fallen out with the clueless one , does Tomlin want to help save lees job ? Good question but I wouldn't want to believe he would deliberately try to lose. If we play two holding midfielders and one up front again today I think I will be fuming before we've even kicked off. I would like to see Mags back. We have no decent FBs so lets go 3-4-3. JB and DC wide midfield/wing back. Tomlin, Taylor and Djuric up front (or Wilbs if Djuric isn't fit). Not 1 up with two dropping back - three attackers Lee!! We have to go for it from the start to get the crowd onside. No point playing it any other way as we can't defend so just set up to out score them. They are poor away so surely we could manage that if we went for it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Once again our chances in this match come down to who LJ starts. We need The Snake starting up top imo and I'd like to see more from our left side in terms of real intent to supply our forwards with the quality they need. It's great we have Cotterill on the right but the issue is that if we persist with going down that side as our main outlet, teams will suss us out like they did when Albert Adomah was our main out ball on the attack. I think LJ will play the line up too safe and we will draw 1-1 or lose 1-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
