Robbored Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 1 hour ago, REDOXO said: You gotta think that’s question one! I don’t even mind playing one forward, but sometimes you need to mix it up. We are so bloody predictable. As has been said Plan B is to do Plan A better, but we never do. Manning is not reactive to the opposition changing formations/tactics to our cost particularly at Portman Rd last season. He’d probably say that he doesn’t need two up top as there are midfielders able to get forward……… but our goal return is pretty poor already.

spudski Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I'm sure someone would be able to compile a list of quotes by BT on twitter, and ask him as a Director, as to whether it's professional to do so. And also a list of quotes by the Club as to their expectations over the past two seasons, and why they keep changing. And point out that the majority of fans don't believe these expectations and it puts undue pressure on any coach/manager. Ask also what experience BT has, apart from running the academy and playing for us, that warrants his position of Technical Director. Also to JL...that he's learnt on the job so to speak. Was given the job by his father. With what he's learnt, does he think another Club would consider his experience worthy and employ him in such a position. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Sunderland last season were one of the worst teams from january 1st until the end of the season. They sold their best player in the summer, spent very little to add to the squad, employed a completely unknown manager who now has them sat top of the championship and playing well - hes done this in 9 games. Why does our head coach need over 40 games to get his behaviours and practises across? Is it because the players arent that good or the head coach isnt that good?' 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's also a myriad of reasons why some might not want to put their head above the parapet in "the real world". It goes back to my earlier suggestion regarding the SCAT taking some of the better questions forward as our "representatives". I think there's a place for anonymity regarding holding to account, My work does it quite well, through things like slido at Q&A events; most upvoted questions get asked and discussed and there is an opportunity to ask a follow up should someone wish "live". What's clear is, we've lost even the semblance of scrutiny from the local press, Geoff's retirement and the loss of Piercy has left a gaping hole in that regard and (you'll be able to correct me if I'm wrong, and this isn't meant as a dig at all) the SCAT seems to be given afterthought status from the club in terms of their responses to anything that gets raised. There's a problem and these fans forums often seem to set up in a way that gives the club a get out of jail free card. Two weeks notice for a midweek engagement isn't enough time for many to organise childcare/travel/work etc. 1% of our attendance average can attend, too. They can say they gave an opportunity to all, but that isn't necessarily the reality. I don't get the feeling that the club really gives a toss about our opinions on things, which is why most of the questions people want to ask are designed to make the person answering it uncomfortable. Because that's all we have left at this football club. "see you in the Prem" indeed. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not personally no, when I attend I would go on the basis of trying to ask a question, of course some people are uncomfortable asking in public but it gives us fans the opportunity not to blindly raise questions on an Internet forum, I'd hope there'll be lots of questions considering all 256 tickets have been allocated. I'd be against pre submitted questions as it gives the opportunity for "tougher" questions to not be asked and "easier" questions to be asked. As this isn't a SC&T event I'll be attending as a supporter like everyone else, I would more than happily take questions forward but don't want to be asking multiple questions when people have made the effort to attend. You know that for the past few months I've taken personal responsibility for taking many questions off here and asking them either at our SC&T meetings or meetings with Tom Rawcliffe and other members of Bristol City / Sport before either replying on the open forum or to the person in person. I should also remind everyone that I'm not the only SC&T board member who posts on OTIB and that there are a total of 12 of us on the board that can be contacted.

Bristol Oil Services Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 People start growing the minerals and asking difficult, to the point, near the knuckle, questions, and these Fans forums will mysteriously dry up. Only reason they hold these things still is the guarantee of a soft-soaping 2 hours with Cats coach number one asking dafty, cringe "questions." When is Jordan Wynter getting a chance? I'd like to know the answer to this, mind .... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 My only comment here is whether, in view of reasonably short notice and inability to attend, whether there is potential to add in a Zoom or Teams or similar video link? I agree with a lot of the posts that it’s unreasonable to ask people to speak/ask on their behalf, but such a system should alleviate that. You could even do a hybrid here - people put questions on teams, the most upvoted ones are then asked by the person on teams who raised them. For me, I logistically couldn’t attend. But I’m more than happy to join remotely and ask a question if it was upvoted enough. Seems to give the best of both worlds and people couldn’t be accused of “hiding” then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're an EFL requirement so they shouldn't "mysteriously dry up" even if someone really gets their feelings hurt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
