Sheaf Saint Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 New board, new manager, settled team mixed with experienced players and the best youth players left, all played in their natural positions. A recognised right back, no DMG, one manager getting the best out of what he's got all season. Not exactlr rocket science is it. So why is Lowe the ONLY chairman in the entire football league who can't see that? Oh of course, it's because he openly admitted he know **** all about football when he took over the club, and 12 years later he still doesn't have the slightest clue. I wonder how many of us would last 12 years in a job if we never actually learned how to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 We let far too many goals in - and we don't score very often either. This is not good. i agree, i think the problem is the opposition scoring more than we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 to let it get tome anymore. I posted on here previously stating this club has cancer and needed major surgery. Instead we get given pills and platitudes. The only medicine which looked like being effective, Pearson, was deemed to expensive. Now the cancer has spread from boardroom to manager to team and for this season is beyond treatment.

saintjay77 Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 But this has been our principal problem since day 1 of this season. We just can't score. We've tried about 8 or 9 different strikers and none of them has been able to score regularly. It's not even Rasiak or John or Saga, doesn't matter who it is we can't score. I mean Euell should have buried 2 chances today and missed both,could have been anyone else, they'd have missed as well. We make chances, not one player can convert them on a regular basis. Saga looked good at the start (when he came back) now he's missing them as well. Must be all this getting beaten up in chinese chippies I suppose. Beginning of the season I figured we would be alright because we were creating loads more chances than the opo and it would be a short time before our strikers realised where the goal is. then it went dead and we couldnt create chances to take and things went down hill fast. We are creating the chances again (all beit more even with the opo) but still have the same problem. Need new strikers? Hoddles spiritual guide? White witch? DROP THE ONE CONSISTANT PROBLEM IN OUR STRIKE FORCE McG? New boot deal for the strikers? I dont know what the answer may be but it seems the problem has been here throughout when all around gets change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Lowe is going then? Because no manager worth his salt and with an ounce of self respect is going to come here and work under Lowe. So IF O'Neill was here could he save us?

Norm Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 Country is in deep depression. Country is infact bankrupt. Vermin politicians sucking up as much on their expense accounts as possible. Unemployment rising rapidly. Council tax bill has just gone up 5%. Price of a pint just gone up 10p. Rich keep on getting richer. No work after March. And to cap it all my football club is relegated. ****ing glad I am British. What a ****ing great place to live at the start of the 21st century. there will be riots soon, and i will be involved.

SFC Forever Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 Hey that'll do it. Why can't we make a CD of songs and sell them cheap(£5) a shot. Good backing and hey presto we have sold a couple of million. Then we buy the club after admin. Buy some conference and lower league players that know their jobs and start again. Get some of the local singers/groups to do some songs on the disc to boost sales. Lots of people who won't pay to watch Lowe's team might buy if there is hope for the future. These sales, plus we could still offer a chance for those with more money to put in say £400 and make us a more powerful prospect. I know it is only wishful thinking but damn it what else have we got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfc123 Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 i just made an entry in my diary, it simply reads, 'bugger'. Good quote. One that we've made at this end of the M27 many times. Think the full line is something like: Blackadder: How are you feeling, Darling? Darling: Erm, not all that good, Blackadder actually- rather hoped I'd get through the whole show; go back to work in the accounts department at Pratt & Sons; keep wicket for the Croydon gentlemen; marry Doris...Made a note in my diary on my way over here.

He gave us Wigley, which the whole world knew was a disaster, and basically said "if you don't want hod, try a dose of relegation instead. He is one vindictive individual. One day we will come back without him, askham and the rest of his cronies, but its going to be a long long road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidthesquid Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 Truth is we are not good enough & haven't been all season. With the exception of McGoalshy that is pretty much the team everyone on here has been crying out for, but the end result is not much different to those of Jan's under 18s . Sounds like they tried hard, but just not good enough. Today was plan B - play all the old heads in a 4-4-2. Anyone have any clues as to what plan C is?

John Smith Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 As much as it would give me a direction for my ill feeling at the position we are in, I don;t think Lowe is doing this out of spite. I actually believe this is as good as Lowe gets. He's giving his best and he's just showing us what we already knew: He's not good enough! Anyone that says there is no one better, I'd counter that with suggesting you'd be hard pushed to find someone worse. Lowe is a poor poor leader, has made poor poor mistakes, makes countless poor decisions and when the heat is on and the need for leadership is required, the manager leaves, head coach goes on garden leave and the transfer market is in full swing, where was our divine leader?

Sheff Saint Posted 14 February, 2009 Share Posted 14 February, 2009 Just back from the game. I thought defensivly we were very good. Best i've seen us in the 12 odd games i've seen this season. Size, Perry and Davis. If we could keep them together in League 1 we might just finish mid-table! The rest was average. Midfield was ok, Surman was poor. Set-pieces really shabby. Forwards both poor but why Saga came off before that fat assed waddler McGoldrick. And WHY THE HELL WAS MCGLAGGON PUT AS CENTRE FORWARD FOR THE LAST TEN MINUTES. Every ball was being pumped up to a migit! We are down, no doubt. And of course a very average Bristol City team won, are just off the play offs and largely thanks to two big centre halves and one big centre fwd and one small one.
