Robbored Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 City lose for the first time in 7 games and the boo-boys are already out in force. Moaning about Tinnion,Lita and picking the team that would have beaten H'pool which would have been full of youngsters. The next thing will be the slagging off Steve Landsdown for appointing BT as the "cheap option" followed by more complaining about BT and his lack of experience.

Rich-TWSC- Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 My "Bristol-City-Forum-Cycle" theory continues in full force.... A loss against a team higher than you... Shock horror, it's the fact a modest team called Hartlepool United are better than BCFC, and that angers many, many people on here. City reeeeally should be winning these games as they are crucial. City aren't going up automatically and at this rate not in the dreaded 3rd... But it's not the end of the world as you know it! I think people react like it's the last game of the season. And dear Lord I'm glad Swindon aren't going to Hillsborough on the final day! That's going to be a MATCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
london red Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Indeed the excuses are predictable and in many cases complete nonsense, but I don't blame certain sections of the supporters for being at least worried about our situation, having spent like a team gunning for promotion in the Championship. I have been bored of the criticism that Tinman recieves on the forum, but I must admit I am on the turn now; Friday is a must-win game no doubt about that!

SteveL gave very clear reasons for the appointment, whether you agree with them or not I haven't noticed him lying to us ever so until he does I will believe what he says whether I agree with his opinions or not. If you consider how important a manager is and how relatively inexpensive they are (less than one player normally) it's completely ludicrous to suggest we appointed one with saving 100k or so in mind.

Collis Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 So explain where we should be and why then? ← We should be fighting for an automatic promotion spot as promised by Tinnion at the start of the season. IMO, if we kept Wilson we would be in a much better position then we are now. I can't see us getting in the play-offs. We have lost too many points at home and havn't been very consistant at all. If we don't go up this season, Tinnion has failed and should go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MaloneFM Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I think we are heading for a top ten finish rather than a top six. Wilson got us there last season via an unbelievable winning streak. It was such a fluke he couldn't re-create it. I think we are putting too much onto an average side. We are a top half team and any higher than that is a bonus. All this 'big club' stuff is cobblers. Stick with Tins but get someone with experience behind him. He may know the club but he played 3-5-2 again today which does not work. We defend like pansies but we have Millen alongside Tins who has all the coaching badges and by all accounts came top in his class at Lilleshall. I say write this one off and for gods sake stop moaning. We are no where near the bottom are we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they've only drawn twice. 38/42 pts. Hartlepool are not highly fashionable, agreed. But they're where they are on merit (ie. above us - even before the game).

I don't know if Wilson would have made differences if he'd also have lost those players. Tinnion was bound to go for automatic as we are the biggest bunch of impatient fans in the lower divisions you can find. You aren't real when you say that Tinnion should go if he doesn't get us up... Where did DW finish first season round? Tinnion will be given plenty of time and will build up his own experience on the way. We are fighting for a promotion place, which all things considered I see as a decent achievement for a team who is honest enough to say that they are not playing brilliant football at present.

Bristol Boy Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Don't fall into this unbeaten or hard to beat trap. From where we are we need wins and I said that about two months ago.

Guest KingswoodRed Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 City lose for the first time in 7 games and the boo-boys are already out in force. That is all very well, but for a club to be in 7th place after losing the first game in 7 surely must mean the previous unbeaten run wasn't all it was cracked up to be? There seems to be no middle ground at this point of the season with regards to the 'boo boys' as you put it and the 'rose tinted brigade'. Each half of the wider fan base still have something to chew on. A unbelievable result versus Tranmere keeps the 'rose tinted brigade' on top for a game....then the 'boo boys' have their turn with the next two games. The word to sum it all up? Inconsistancy. And if that keeps up, the winners in this particular game will be the 'boo boys'. Who are right, and who are wrong? You decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fRed Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I suppose in a disappointing season a few OK results will help bottle up the need to moan. A loss is like removing the cork from the bottle. A bit like having a good ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make you wonder what the point of that is. If our aspirations are no higher than Hartlepool's then why don't we cut our cloth in the same manner as Hartlepool, be up front with the supporters and save ourselves a few quid into the bargain?

There are a number of people on this forum who are wrongly classed as boo-boys but are prepared to criticise on the forum in a reasoned manner based on what they see and whose opinions don't change with the wind. My gripe, and I have said this all season, has nothing to do with our league position. it is simply that the football we play most Home games lacks imagination and is boring. Therefore entertainment value = NIL. Our poor league placing (in comparison with the last two seasons) only serves to compound this problem in my eyes.

Guest Mr_Irrelevant Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 [From a Hartlepool fan] You lot make me laugh! Bristol City are a very good side as was proved today at Hartlepool. Ok you lost but you were far from disgraced, we played very well. The fact that you ignore is that Hartlepool are also a good team. Forget the Hartlepool United of the 70's and 80's, today you played a class team and gave us a hell of a game. I thought that you would have learned from the play-offs that these days we are no push overs, neither are you! Both teams will be thereabouts come May and assuming that our defenders are not assasinated again we may even see Cardiff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
