BFTG - Bristol City

[Royal Rother]

Sorry but

[From Despair To Where?]

Yeah, unfortunately it's a 46 game season and we were beyond awful for the first 26 of them.

The loan signings have probably pushed to being an upper middle table team tbf.

Yep, would broadly agree - certainly the way the side has played since Gomes has got settled and the loanees came in - we’re a lower top ten side as the form book shows

[Snowflake Royal]

I thought Norwich and Bristol highlighted how far off the top 10 we remain.

Our entire game plan was to shut up shop, soak pressure and hope to sneak something on the break.

I expect genuine top 10 quality sides to go out and take the game to the opposition on a roughly even footing rather than having to play backs to the wall (And getting very creditable points with quality battling performances).

That ignores the fact that we still needed points to stay up.
No one is suggesting we are currently IN. The top 10, and it utterly changesthe discussion that we still needed the points.
Our record over the last dozen games puts us in the top 10 sides over that period.
It’s amusing to see how desperately the anti Gomes crew try to find ways to dismiss his achievements.....

You've got a serious hard on for me being anti-Gomes haven't you.

FYI - I'm not. I was highly skeptical to start with, and took some convincing, but by this point I'm nothing like anti. Just because I happen to have a different opinion to you on how good we are, doesn't mean I hate Gomes and think he's shit.

You hate anyone disagreeing with you !
Your post was stupid, not a different opinion. Only a complete idiot would expect a team fighting to stay up to approach a game as if they were in the top 10.
Only an idiot would ignore our standing in the form tables just because they refuse to acknowledge that our manager has done a good job.
I’m not saying you are an idiot, you’re capable of proving that yourself....

Happy Easter !

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

Quite.
At least you realise now.....
