Is there any chance that, just possibly, he's neither effing useless or the next best thing to Alf Ramsey? That he's proved reasonable or reasonablish as a manager. Nothing to write home about as yet. And maybe we could all just shut up about him until some conclusive evidence one way or another emerges?
Ooops. Time to say our farewells! Absolutely right! He's hardly Roy of the Palace with decades of ballsups and Bojangles to tell tales of. He might end up a real minger. He took us to the depths of destruction. But he lifted us up, and then legged it. Who knows what might have happened? Jury is still out. Wrong to keep trying to hang him now though.
There's nowt quoted showing up for me. (I know this will end badly and demonstrate somehow my computer ineptitude)
Couldn’t stand watching the style of football he had us playing but he’s a nice bloke & I wish him well plus I think him leaving meant I got a second trip to Wembley so it’s hard to dislike him. He’s doing well at the minute as he’s got Bristol about 5 or 6 places above where they should be but in reality that’s no different to having Barnsley about 16th or 17th in the championship. Decent but hardly groundbreaking. Plus he’s like Alan Pardew in that he goes on good streaks & bad streaks so there’s a good chance he’ll have Bristol back where you’d expect them to finish within a few weeks.
He lost 6 in a row with Barnsley (and had won 6 out of the last 6 league games before he left). He also lost 6 in a row with Bristol City in the 16/17 season amongst a horrible run which saw them win just 4 times in 29 games. He never lost 9 in a row for both teams though.
Why o why do we talk about this on here every few weeks? Yes he did lose 9 games on the spin with us, including an FA Cup exit at a non league team
Well I applaud you for describing him as a nice bloke. I've no idea whether he is or not. I think you have the wrong idea about what nouse it takes to get Bristol City in or around the play offs. But there we go. Do you think that the style of football Bristol City play is unwatchable? Or the style of football Barnsley were playing by the time he left?
Sorry for that. Couldn't see your post. Conan is on ignore. I went to the doctors. He said it's these pills for depression, or put Conan on ignore. Plus it'll cure your urge to bum Johnno. Bit of a no-brainer really.
Because people keep getting it wrong? You're misremembering. He lost 6 games (of any description) in a row and lost 8 consecutive league games (broken up with with 2 league trophy wins). Never lost any combination of 9 in a row though. After the Altrincham game (up until he left) he was: P16 | W11 | D2 | L3 Or P16 | W9 | D4 | L3 If you see penalty wins as drawn games after extra time.
Ahh. I can't see Conan's posts, but I can see he's liked this particularly cerebral and uniquely insightful post. If site admin are monitoring this, I wonder whether they think this kind of response is acceptable to them. If they do think it's within the bounds of creative responses, perhaps they could explain why. Otherwise, you should be banned. They should chuck in a ban for those who "like" things like this too. What kind of site do we want?
